People commenting on this calling it “teacher’s salary” and all I can think is that they must not know many teachers

To be clear, no one is denying that Caitlin Clark should be paid more It’s just sad that it’s such an insult to say that someone is “paid like a teacher”
@JayWamsted I mean I make like $135k rn 🫠 And a teacher from Indiana said they make more than this too.
@JayWamsted I’ve been teaching 25 years, have Masters Degrees, and never had a teaching salary this high. It’s a bad comparison. However, these salaries are still WAY too low for top-tier professional athletes, and the pay differential between male & female athletes is disgusting.
@JayWamsted Cost of living very different in different parts of country.
@JayWamsted Teachers in my area average over $100,000, not to mention incredible health insurance and huge pensions.
@JayWamsted Am a Teacher, it is accurate, not a first year teacher but a teacher who has been in the game a bit. Teachers can make up to 130-150K per year. Starting is about 60K, so it is accurate.
@JayWamsted I'm a humanities prof & I make significantly less than this.
@JayWamsted I was also stunned. Best female basketball player in the country. Would think she was worth more….
