Caitlin Clark is the most famous athlete in women’s sports (the most popular who is actually a female), and she just got drafted #1 overall in the WNBA. But that doesn’t mean everyone is happy.
Clark went to the Indiana Fever with the #1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, a move that surprised no one as Clark was far and away the best player in women’s college basketball and long predicted to go #1.
Not long after the draft, details of Clark’s contract were posted online.

Clark is anticipated to sign the deal, although she hasn’t done so yet. The contract follows the typical structure for WNBA agreements, featuring a backloaded payout arrangement where the largest amount is allocated to the final option year. Despite this, social media users who believe Clark deserves a higher salary criticized the deal as disrespectful to Clark and women in general.
Honestly, y’all should be embarrassed for even posting this salary. Women deserve better. https://t.co/LqNH88NxTm

In 2023, the NBA generated $10.5 billion in revenue, whereas the WNBA reportedly had revenues ranging from $180 million to $200 million. Although this marks a substantial increase from 2019, when the league earned $102 million, it still falls far short of the NBA’s revenue.
