Topic	Gap between Caitlin Clark's WNBA salary and her male counterparts draws outrage
Compsognathus 04/17/24 2:19:48 PM #104:	The WNBA is not profitable. It literally cannot afford to pay Clark even close to NBA salaries. That said, the NBA needs to decide what they want to do with the WNBA. Because if they ever want to be WNBA to be anything more than a side-show money sink, they need to actually invest it it, even if it means losing more money in the short-term. The fact that top-tier athletic talent would be better off becoming an accountant than playing in the WNBA is not how you grow a league. This is a case where you do in fact have to spend money to make money. So while it might not be reasonable for Clark to make NBA dollars, the NBA does need to open up their pocket books and pay players more than they are getting now if they ever want to be taken seriously. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:979961049] in Gap betwee...
