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’m denying she should be paid more. No full time athletes necessarily should be paid more. That’s market rate and a great salary for only a few months of work each year, plus endorsement money.
@JayWamsted What does it say about what Iowa pays its teachers, as well! Not much.
@JayWamsted It took me 22 years, a second degree plus, & a strike for me to break $90k in salary as a teacher.
@JayWamsted the average wage in the US is less than those numbers so that critique never made sense
@JayWamsted Why should she be paid more? Because male basketball players are paid more? If she can put fans in the seats and bring money into the coffers like the NBA players, sure. But not before.
