College basketball sensation Caitlin Clark will earn less than six figures in her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, reigniting debate over whether professional women athletes in the U.S. are fairly paid. cbsn.ws/4aYrnCx
@CBSNews No they aren’t underpaid. Just Caitlin Clark is. She will have more viewership than the rest of the WNBA.
@CBSNews The league's lost at least 10 million every year since it started. They can't afford to pay them anymore. You can't scream wage-gap when the revenue isn't there.
@CBSNews If she was going to be fairly paid, she would be paid zero. The WNBA loses money every year. Where is the money to pay her supposed to come from?
@CBSNews For a league that's never turned a profit in its existent, yes it's more than fair. She doesn't have to play basketball.
@CBSNews I am sure she will get a lot more via endorsements and ads
@CBSNews They have a collective bargaining agreement for a 50/50 revenue split between the league and the players. The league doesn't make MORE money to pay them MORE money. This isn't a debate. Ask why NOBODY is watching the WNBA instead.
@CBSNews What percentage of WNBA revenue should their athletes earn?
@CBSNews Crazy idea: If, instead of complaining about wnba salaries, people started watching it on tv and going to games, they’d start getting more money.
