You get paid what you are worth.

Aye and then we 'circle back' to the other elephant in the room . . . if this is sooooooooooo important to the nation's political left then why aren't they supporting this sports franchise with money out of their own pockets and their own pampered rumps in the seats? Those tickets aren't going to pay for themselves.

Maybe it's as simple as no trans women in the WNBA? After all, the left can't support those gals until they get a real woman out there, hey?

LOL . . . that could actually be it.

Maybe change the shirts to
'Gimmie Dat' ?

Asking for a friend...

Brutally honest.

The fact is that the ladies league has never turned a profit. Whether you finish that sentence with "ever" or "yet", there is still a process. I guess they signed a huuuge deal with ESPN for broadcast rights and if true, they can then negotiate a new CBA that will cut them in on the revenue.

That's how it works.

They are not special in any way, nor for any reason.

They're professional athletes / entertainers, and should be paid according to how much revenue they generate. It's that simple.

I am a Clark fan, but I would bet this matter isn't as personal to her as say the 9th player on the bench of a WNBA team, since she has a net worth of $4 to $5 million. Estimates have her now making about $11 million a year from endorsements, AND she recently signed a $28 million deal with Nike.

To say that her $80K / $90K salary doesn't dent her bottom line is a significant understatement.

How long will the IRS let you lose money and keep deducting the losses?

Apparently forever.
