On Monday night, former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark became the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever after emerging as the biggest superstar women’s college basketball has ever seen. She’s one of the biggest sports stars on the planet – male or female – but she’s not going to be paid like one. And United States President Joe Biden is not happy about it.
Caitlin Clark will make less than $85,000 per year on average during her first four-year contract with the Indiana Fever, far less than her male counterparts as former No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama is set to make about $3 million a year on average. And Joe Biden does not think that’s right or fair.
“Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all. But right now we’re seeing that even if you’re the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve,” Biden said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, these are some strong words from Biden, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
It’s pretty clear that Biden wants change.
