At least with Caitlyn Clark and co, the viewership is said to have skyrocketed, so I still don't understand why it's as though they're getting paid peanuts compared to their male counterparts.
I was watching a show and someone said Steph Curry's contract that would see him earn ~60 million through the 2026/2027 season, means Curry is getting paid more than the entire WNBA combined, I didn't do the math to be sure, but if that's anywhere near true, it couldn't be more ridiculous than that, and it's the whole league that just needs some kind of financial restructuring.
I tend to agree that with the likes of Caitlin, Sabrina or Angel Reese the viewership has finally increased but even that I don't think that the salary will make a difference. There clearly needs a change in the salary structure for WNBA considering that disparity over NBA athletes was probably inhumane tbh, they could have at least increase a few percentage of their salaries that would increase their morales.
