Ha Ha Ha

I have no idea how I'll spend my nights now.

Yes, the NBA pays their salaries.

Well women have never been particularly bright, I imagine a bunch of entitled, black, lesbians are just a bit dimmer than the average woman.

Not only stupid but ungrateful.

The WNBA has been around for 30 years or so.

Amazing.

I thought to myself "these dykes should be happy they are allowed to play a game they suck at and get paid" then I wondered "how much do they get paid?"

The average salaries in the first year are projected to be more than $530,000 and the minimum salary to be more than $250,000 in the first year, sources said.

More than $250,000 to suck at a game, draw hardly any crowd, almost zero media attention and they are whining that it's not enough?

[beakdoctor]

Not only stupid but ungrateful.

This too.

I think the WNBA is even more irrelevant than women's soccer.

Caitlyn Clark makes about 70k and she's the top player in the WNBA.
How are they going to get $250-500k?

[US MUSL]

If I worked for a business that was losing money I would have a hard time asking for a raise.

$78k a year and worth $10m

[Irongrip400]

$78k a year and worth $10m

Sounds like a congressman.

I have no idea, I just quoted a line from the article you quoted. I am shocked that they get paid 250k. 70k seems reasonable.

Amazing.

And never made a profit once.

All "professional" athletes should work full time jobs and play their stupid sports after work. This goes for men lesbians and etc.

[Tennisballz]

They should be paid minimum wage and they should have to clean the stadium once the game is done.

Speaking Truth to Power!

[Methyl m1ke]

Absolutely. Those with true passion for their chosen sport will go the distance. Didn't NFL players hold regular jobs not so long ago? Back when men were real men.

From AI: Caitlin Clark's WNBA rookie base salary was $76,535 in 2024, the first year of her four-year, $338,056 rookie contract with the Indiana Fever, with her salary increasing each year, reaching around $78,066 in 2025 and climbing towards $97,582 by 2027. While her base pay is modest due to the WNBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement, she earns significantly more through endorsements, potentially making over half a million dollars in total WNBA earnings plus millions from sponsors.

Her base salary is that of a plumber.
