Fans, Here’s Why You’re the Damn Reason Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark Are Not Paid More
As the discourse around WNBA players’ pay swirls, it’s time for fans to put their money where their complaints are.
I’m a diehard supporter of women’s sports, especially the WNBA. I attended the first ever game on June 21, 1997 at the Kia Forum f.k.a Great Western Forum in Inglewood, Calif., making me a day one fan. Everyone in the arena knew we were seeing something special. The league has maintained that unique connection with its fans throughout its 27 years.
The one thing that drives me crazy about the W, are the sexist trolls who show up every few years to comment on the pay gap between WNBA and NBA stars. When a major college player turns pro, they attempt to show everyone how smart they are by comparing a fresh-faced rookie’s salary to LeBron James or Steph Curry.
Should WNBA players be paid more? Absolutely! But these jerks don’t actually care about that. They just want to use the issue to dunk on the sport.
This time around, they’re using basketball phenom Caitlin Clark to make their point. On Tuesday, as rumors about her rookie salary made their way around the internet, there was a sudden wave of outrage about how much this female superstar would make in comparison to her male counterparts. Fans were offended by the rumored $76,000 she would make for her first season with the Indiana Fever.
While the frenzy around Clark has brought more attention to women’s basketball, it’s also led to a lot of so-called “experts” offering uninformed opinions on the game.
