The people bitching abut her salary, couldn't name the starting five on her team, nor, have they ever been to a WNBA game...
I couldn’t name another player anywhere. I only know of Britney Griner because she made worldwide headlines for getting busted in Russia with drugs. And I’ve heard of Sue Bird, but only because my brother sold her a car once. But that’s it. That’s all the WNBA players I’ve ever heard of.
💯

Bill Burr had a great bit in one of his standup specials saying basically the same thing. Women blame men for the lack of attendance at WNBA games, but women don't buy tickets, merch, or know any of the players on the teams in their city. Women failed the WNBA, not men.
facts the sheep are called that for a reason
"We just want women to get their fair share"
Fair share of what? The WNBA doesn't generate revenue. Your fair share of zero would be zero.
I'd love to see the NBA stop subsidizing the WNBA for about five years, while WNBA players were getting paid what they "deserve", and watch it fold.
Good comment. But to be more accurate, they are losing money, so maybe the players have to pay to play? Minus numbers divided....
Clark is selling out her games. Shes the one who deserves more pay.
I'm so sick of people getting upset about this. If they and their league brought in more money then they would get paid more. It has nothing to do with male or female. End of story.
You mean any money? They are not bringing any. They are losing millions every year.
Yes correct. You tell go to the fucking games.
😢@@lorddiethorngot grammar?!!?
@@markydo7 yea i do just forget tp say them then go to the fucking games
Women r to blame for not supporting the WNBA
WNBA has had the same profit potential as a San Francisco Walgreens for over a quarter century.
LOL!!!
LOL!!!!!
Snap!!😂
"Quarter century"? Getting facts straight, the WNBA was founded in April 22nd during the NBA's 1995-1996 season, when the Bulls made 72 wins and the Toronto Raptors and Grizzlies were introduced into the league.
@@LightStreak567 So for over a quarter century? As stated word for word in the original post? Applause for a completely useless and wholly unnecessary “correction”, though. 👏
Then maybe the WNBA needs to learn how to turn a profit. Something the league hasn’t ever done
Like women's soccer, they can't get sponsorship money and their t.v. numbers don't advocate for large paydays there either. At least the women's soccer was selling out stadiums, that were 1/4 the size that men players were selling out. But WNBA basketball attendance is on par with your local high school, if even that.
...most Americans can't afford groceries, medicine, or housing...AND we're worried about an entertainer making a few thousand dollars less
I ain't worried. Her life is better then most and she gets paid to do what she loves to do. Looks to me she is lucky and blessed.
When the WNBA starts to turn a profit, the players will get raises. That’s how it works.
Someone who understands how the free market system works.
There are people who spend 10 years working manual jobs that would love to make that salary!
I’m sure she’s great… Didn’t care about the WNBA without her, sure as hell ain’t gonna care about it with her.
tell her go play in the nba if she wants more money. oh wait....theres no way she could
Imagine making $80k a year and you only have to work a couple of days a week for only half the year and claim you’re underpaid. Plus she’s gonna get more from sponsors like Nike or whoever.
Not even half the year. A WNBA season only has 32-34 games a year.
so nfl players only work 17-21 games a year. When you ignore the other factors that argument seems pretty stupid doesn't it?
@@bc7013 nope, I think all sports ballers are overpaid, but at least the men’s teams generate billions in profits.
Facts! Bill Burr already put this nonsense to rest. lol
@@syrtycon7299 If they generate billions in profits then they're not overpaid, are they. You get paid based not on what you do, or how well you do it, but by your value to your employer (how much you make for them). Pro athletes aren't merely employess, they literally ARE the product being sold. There are individual players that are overpaid and some are underpaid based on production, but as a collective they are not overpaid based on the revenue they generate. Now, the WNBA on the other hand . . .
You can tell none of these people know what theyre talking about.
The WNBA has never been a profitable league. If the likes of Clark, Reese etc change that then salaries will start to gradually increase but until then it will stay that way. Keep in mind this doesnt include any of the money she makes from her sponsorship deals.
The WNBA are lucky the "investment" the NBA puts into WNBA doesnt need to be paid back as debt once they become profitable
If they want the top WNBA players to make 2 or 3 million a season they’re going to lose even more of the NBA’s money.
NBA won't support that. The women's season and playoff length is less than half that of the men. Last year, some WNBA players were breaking down their salaries paying for professional trainers and dieticians. For what? Go to some area college and get in a free study program there as part of their courses. I'm sure they'd love that and you'd get free things. Don't act as if you were millionaire sports players when you aren't. Even in the '50s and '60s male athletes got jobs during the off-season. Just don't bring drugs into Russia.
WNBA is the worst thing for the WNBA lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re talking about people who think that every company can afford to pay their employees 20 dollars an hour. You can’t expect them to understand this basic concept
The longest any of them have given the WNBA any attention and it was to formulate complaints.
People complaining are economically illiterate.
It looks like the President is also complaining so it checks out.
Other than the Griner dude, I couldn't name a WNBA player.
Griner is NOT a dude. I’m sick of people saying that. If she was a man, she’d be much better at basketball
I can name another one in Candace Parker and that is all.
All these people bitching about pay for these women are not fans, they are complainers. Don't go to games, don't watch on TV, but want to stick their nose into everything. WNBA has a budget, they don't make enough on their own, they have to be subsidized.
WNBA players should pay to play! Shit is awful!
They’ve done the math. If they were being paid on the P&L reports, they’d be paying in to play basketball for a living. Something like $60k apiece per year.
Real talk I'm shocked how much Caitlin Clark is getting paid. I expected much less. There's no way that the WNBA team can afford that
The Indiana Fever can now cause of Catlin Clark cause I bet they sell out everyone home game and the ratings go up on their games
I think she will get some percentage of merchandise sales.
@@JET1970 has any WNBA team ever sold out every home game? Would honestly be shocked if they did
@@JET1970You're smoking if you think they are going to sell out all their home games. No WNBA game has ever been a sell out EVER.
Yeah that’s where the losses come in
Oh my God I was flabbergasted when I saw WNBA salaries!! They were 10 times more than I thought they would be!
Lib: WNBA players should make as much money as NBA players
Local WNBA team: would you like to buy a ticket to one of our games?
Lib: No
27 years of tax write offs 😂
If they got what they deserved they would be the ones paying the league, and how many of those clowns complaining also support men in women’s sports because you know the majority are one and the same. And how amazing would it be that after all the trashing of Clark by former players and analyst, she turns the WNBA profitable.
The problem is that media outlets won't allow these kinds of facts to be stated over the air because their complaint would be baseless.
The WNBA will see a boost in ratings for Caitlin's games but not for anyone else. And this will fade over the years, even faster if her team doesn't win the championship every year.
The reality is, Caitlin Clark is not popular. She’s the current flavor of the week.
This is just like the World Cup every 4 years. Everyone gets all worked up and pontificates that they’re all in on American soccer and are going to become huge fans… and then they don’t.
I wish Clark the absolute best in her career - but fair market value is fair market value.
That's a pretty good salary for an organization that doesn't generate revenue. 🤔🤷🏿♂
And depends on the men's NBA to survive
Are these people so clueless that they don't know salaries come from money taken in by ticket sales?
She won’t save the wnba
That’s right Mr.Trump😂
The average person has no idea who the highest paid WNBA players are. Almost anyone could tell you who the highest paid NBA players are. This fake outcry is total nonsense.
Hope she stays smart and never goes woke. The worst she should do is say we will do our best to put on a good show so come on out to see us.
Eventhough i don't watch the woke snoozefest garbage called the wnba i will say this nobody deserved to be the number 1 pick than caitlin clark because she's the definition of a star and a franchise player. I sebd my congratulations to her and her family.
Plain and simple, if yall don't buy tickets to see the games, your home team won't have the money to pay the athletes. No consistent sell outs means no television deals of any value.
I was interested in watching a couple minutes of highlights of the Iowa games from their tournament - that's about it. Now that she's in the WNBA, that's all folks. She is a solid player but the WNBA shouldn't exist.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket!! 😂
I mean... WNBA has 12 teams and still has blackout restrictions for their league pass. You can't even pay them to watch "your local team"
I'd have to travel 6 hours to see an Atlanta Dream game live..... no!
The funny thing about this is Clark, if you check it, already has made and will continue to make alot of money from her name and likeness alone. Not to mention whatever other contracts she's signed. She's already wealthier than most WNBA players. Playing in the WNBA is a sure sign that she just likes to play basketball. The money from them is supplementary to what she makes off the court.
It also continues to amaze me that this athlete pay for females' argument continues to come up, even though its already been lost by those who claim it's unfair. The WNBA is a subsidized league.
The other business that keeps losing $$ is the USPS...who subsidizes them...we do with our taxes....
And shes still overpayed. A businees that hasnt turned a profit in decades shouldnt be a business anymore. Nevermimd paying their employees top dollar. People are so f#cking delusional when it comes to this topic.
As a guy who used to watch the WNBA, the only reason I watched it and in fact went to a WNBA game was because my family are die-hard UCONN fans and we used to follow the players after college same as the NBA. If people actually care as much as my family used to, the WNBA would be profitable.
A rookie salary in the WNBA. It goes without saying it's small. Generating revenue should be their concern.
I dont recall Clark complaining about her salary... yet.
People are complaining... she is not!
I did the math and Ms.Clark is gonna get $200+ hr, that's not bad!!! Then you figure she's only got 2 "work" 3 months a year!! Most Americans wouldn't mind this gig honestly!!
Just for context too, since the difference between a million and a billion can hard to wrap the head around, 60 million is 0.6% of 10 billion. So WNBA revenue is not even 1% of NBA profit.
Or with easier numbers to wrap the head around, it would be like a salesperson saying they deserve the same amount of commission for selling $6K worth of company product while another better performing employee sold $1,000,000 worth of product.
her coach and GM and even teammates, (save for the 3-4 at the draft that night,) don't want Clark. They don't want her to make an impact, they want to make an example of her.
I've been saying this for a while. They don't make enough money to afford to pay her what she's worth. She's making more in endorsements than any WNBA's player salary. lol its crazy! She purely doing this for the love of the sport.
What is she worth though?
It's more unjust that G League players make less than WNBA players when every single one would be the best player in the WNBA.
My 80+ year old parents tuned in to watch it. Also, her salary is way higher than mine. Her season only lasts three months.
Were there was this outrage 10 - 15 yrs ago before Clark. When the faces of the league looked a little different !
If RUclips doesn't delete me if Caitlin Clark wanted to spark outrage than la should have gotten her..... no one will get that. The fallout show makes no sense is stupid
where exactly do they think the money would come from?
She wont change the WNBA. A small amount of people will tune in to see her for a few games, then remember why they dont watch the WNBA, and then they will tune back out. You wont even hear about Clark a year from now.
27 years, huh? The UFC is only 3 years older than the WNBA and they've had legal challenges for much of that time. Yet they are one of the most valuable organizations in the world. What's the WNBA's excuse?
These ppl just want to complain for the sake of complaining. Caitlin Clark is going to be making millions of dollars in endorsement deals. I heard that Caitlin is going to be having a shoe named after her. The only player i know of that got a shoe deal, before he was drafted is Michael Jordan. I'm not saying Caitlin is going to be the female Michael Jordan. I'm saying she's poised to become the female Michael Jordan. Only time will tell, if she does.
Honestly what upsets me is that Bronny will make more in his rookie contract despite being inferior to the first 5 overall WNBA draft picks. A 4.8pt average makes you a top 10 pick in the NBA.
She'll make millions just by wearing a t-shirt. Just don't do a Beckham and lose your £1 million deal with Brylcream by shaving your head?
It is very much fair. The NBA takes in way more revenue and so they can pay higher salaries. This is how the free market system works.
She'll be lucky to last past the first four years in the league, then go on to a college coaching gig where she will be seriously over paid.
The last thing I want is socialism in sports where the guy who sits on the bench gets paid as much as the guy scoring 20 points a game. Or where the water boy get paid the same as the coach. Sports proof why the free market system is the best.
She’s getting exactly what she’s worth.
It was never an issue before this? Women obviously do not watch or pay attention otherwise.
They are lucky their salary is as high as it is
If it weren’t for Men’s Basketball, WNBA wouldn’t even exist lol..
and......still not going to watch. no she won't.
Thank, dude. I'm not a sports fan but I was wondering why anyone was talking about the WNBA.
Even I know they suck.
Modern Wah-men will still not watch the WNBA.
I love this channel
I think they will see a bump in ratings on her games only, then it will fade.
Nah. If the team wasn't trying to exploit her, they would have given her a one or two year contract and let her renegotiate based on her ability to make money for the team. Ownership will lowball if they can get away with it - that's how it is.
THREE WORDS: GO...FUND---ME....Every single female who thinks WNBA players should be paid more, is welcome to start a crowdsourcing page and rally the "troops". What a wonderful chance for women to continue construction on yet another thing that was built for them...by men.
How about that league turns a profit first. What men's sports league got to run at a loss for a quarter of a century and stay existing?
She should play overseas and give middle finger to the WNBA. Lol
Clark will make bank in sponsorships anyway so she’ll make some money
It's a game, not a job. A leisure activity most of the population does after a day's work. $70,000 is quite awesome, for playing around a court.
They have to sell tickets to make more money- it’s as simple as that.
I read something in the last day or two where the WNBA wants to EXPAND the league and add new teams.
🙄
I think they need to make sure they don’t screw up this CC situation first.
They need to make sure her home Indiana team makes money first, and then make sure her road games pay off, too.
I think the Indiana team averaged something like four or six thousand fans last year- no team will make money off that.
They also need to make sure this can last over time- but I think that’s up to the players.
CC has raised the bar- will everyone else (pro and college players) step up, too?
I still think the league won’t make it long-term until they can play more “above the rim,” and play faster.
It will be interesting to see. 🤷♂️
I don’t care if Dennis Rodman is playing in the wnba, I’m not watching that shit.
I’d actually watch that
is Dennis planning to go "Trans"
I made that as a ditch digger at a local utility in 2000… 🏀😆
She will make 10 times her salary on endorsements
Best of luck to her, although the infamous remarks of the late Don Imus will be hard to top when it comes to upsetting female basketballers. 💡
What wierd about women's basketball the college game is watchable lots of ball movement, running 🏃♂️ the court , some defense and some shooting in the paint. WNBA on the other hand is a complete bore to watch only uber tall player are drafted with zero ball handling skill but can shoot three point shots , walking 🚶♂️ back and forth .Stop freeze take a shot , zero defense 9 out of ten times shooting a air ball brick which is Ssssssslllllloooooowwwwly rebounded and back the other way. Which why WNBA is a slow motion low scoring Coma fests🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
TODAY you can COVER THE ARCA RACE of CODY Dennison/CAMALOTS RACE coming in 16th I think at Talladega race today RYAN !!! SPORTS NEWS !!!
I wish I could make 74k a year for 40 game of basketball
I guess the cover band at my local bar should be payed Taylor Swift money.
She's gonna make a lot off of endorsements
She’s gonna make a ton in endorsements so what does it matter
still won't watch the WNBA
I’m not watching 6th grade basketball and Clark couldn’t make my high school basketball team
Maannn the way u went off on Brandon…. 😂 Oscar worthy
I honestly don't think that was Biden put out the tweet
Pay Ryan the movie
Theyrr sctually getting paid MORE than they deserve. They lost money every year, thus they should be paying money to the lague noy making money.
This one is more difficult because the league doesn't make shit and she will be playing for the league but the league itself is taking in millions and millions off of her and her alone. Unique situation that only applies to her.
But do they turn a profit?
@@raidernation9920 Bro do you know how to read?
@@bc7013 - yes. And I’m saying the league loses on average about 10 million a year. So will they make a profit now?
@@raidernation9920 This is why I say it is a tough one because on 1 hand you have a league that shouldn't exist because it loses money and always has but on the other hand you will have 1 team that is going to turn a massive profit because of the addition of CC and her salary is laughable compared to her economic impact.
The WNBA does make any Money!
With Caitlin Clark signing with Nike, and getting her salary, now, maybe folks around the US will start watching games..NO ONE IN THE WNBA COULD DO WHAT SHE HAS DONE! Don’t be a hater because she’s getting what she’s getting…you should thank your lucky starsEACH AND EVERY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE, because now, you other players may get some monetary compensation that you WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN WITHOUT CAITLIN CLARK! Period!
Revenue sharing that's all
