According to the article, it sounds like those go to the team and owners, not the players. WNBA players don't even get a dime when someone buys their jersey.
Pretty sure that State Farm money is with her, Jimmy Butler, and Reggie Miller.
Excuse me, the money goes to who?
Imma need to see a source for that claim.
Sure if she's doing a team endorsement deal as a part of her contact that goes to the WNBA, but if Vuori or State farm or whoever just sign Caitlin Clark to a deal to appear as Caitlin Clark the WNBA doesn't just take a cut of that.
The issue is that men make orders of magnitude more just for being men. No reason to handwave that disparity away.
Technically they make orders of magnitude more because the money they bring in is orders of magnitude more
Yeah, I saw an argument about considering not only what they're paying the athletes but also what those athletes are bringing in as far as advertisments, ticket sales, merch, etc. I can't find the video but I remember it clearly because it hadn't occurred to me before then. I'll look for it to make sure I'm not making any part of it up, but the numbers were ridiculous as far as how much money was being made from male leagues compared to female leagues.
.....and millions in sponsorship deals
