In the 1950s Pete Rozelle setup the rules of sunshine and revenue sharing between the Rams and the TV studios. In the 1960s he did the same for the NFL. The NBA, NHL, and MLB copied the same system. Amatuer sports such as Women's basketball never adopted sunshine and revenue sharing it the TV studios. The pay disparity today remains atrocious, embarrassing, and criminal.

No way that is all she earns. Maybe that's her base salary but Warren Buffet's base salary was $1 for a long time and no idiot thinks that is what he makes or is worth. She will make 7 figures at least, bet on it.
If she makes the All-Star, All-WNBA team or becomes ROY, she gets bonus from the league.
She can also sign marketing deals either with the league or her team.

Clark has a bad agent. She will bring in much more than $76,000 to the Indiana Fever.
They have a salary cap. They can't pay them more than that

Women's professional basketball players make up to 10x as much overseas. Many WNBA players go overseas after the WNBA season.

Right. The summer league is playing in the US. The real money is in Europe.

Well under what CC will make.

The WNBA only plays 40 games per year, all within 4 months. She has other opportunities to make money such as playing overseas and doing sponsorships such as her Statefarm commercials.
I will agree that players in the NBA, NFL, MLB, and soccer get paid way too much.

This is slave labor. They should form a union, then consult purple hair on how to get their fair share of NBA payroll.

If we're including benefits for UPS drivers in this comparison shouldn't we be doing the same for Caitlin Clark?
I'm not fully versed with their benefits package but to be fair you'd have to include healthcare, free hotels, free food, free airfare, $60k for adoption/surrogacy, free access to top notch facilities, childcare stipend, 401k matching. Those benefits add up.

She is taking a huge pay cut to.play in the WNBA.

Clark should start a Go Fund Me page!
All the people who think that she is not being paid enough could then contribute!
With all the folks that are outraged by Clark's salary, the Fund should easily take in $10 million. Just the women on The View should be good for a million.
Unfortunately, when it comes time to opening their wallets vs. opening their mouths, the outraged people wouldn't be so giving.
Gotta love that Virtue Signaling!

The UPS driver hates his job and works 8 months a year longer than Clark does.
He also won't make millions in endorsement for wearing his little shorts in commercials.

Like I said before, I don’t know why anyone should care. I’m told womens don’t need my help with anything. So therefore, I should not be concerned if one of them is paid too little. It’s not my problem. I don’t operate from the assumption that women are oppressed and need a man to help them out.

Some people care that women players receive 10% of the revenue generated from the NBA while male players receive 50% of the revenue from their league. They suggest that it's an example of women being underpaid.
They need a better collective bargaining agreement if they can get one.

And what does the nba have to do with the wnba? You would need to be really slow to think that basketball is more important than scale. As income scales, any reasonable person would expect the percentage payed out to go up rapidly as there are tons of fixed costs that don’t increase when your tv contract goes from 100m to 1 billion…

You can easily afford a home in Indy on a $76k/year salary. I live here and I did so. $76k in Indy is like $170k (UPS salary) in LA or NYC.

Griner was making $1 million-plus to play in Russia. Clark could go that route but with endorsements won't need too.
