Topic	Gap between Caitlin Clark's WNBA salary and her male counterparts draws outrage
Mizznox 04/16/24 6:31:17 PM #54:	whitelytning posted... Are there max rookie contracts in the WNBA? Is that what she got? If not, her agents and representatives are to blame. I get that they cant pay her a lot because they dont make any money but she should have gotten a Messi like deal where she gets a piece of the teams revenue. The WNBA has a rookie scale that her contract adheres to, there's no negotiation involved (at least, I'm pretty sure - the NBA has some wiggle room in that their salary can be anywhere from 80% to 120% of the rookie scale amount, but I don't believe the WNBA has that option). And their CBA certainly doesn't allow just straight up giving a piece of the team's revenue, lol. inTaCtfuL posted... I could be hella wrong with this but for the top tier stars of their sports, don't they usually get paid alot more in endorsements than their actual contract? Yeah she's getting paid 75k by the WNBA right now but I'm sure that she'll get millions a year on endorsements alone. She'll be fine She's already reportedly been making about $3M/year in endorsements, and that surely has gone up recently/will go up soon. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv <cite>Mizznox posted [p:979946729] in Gap betwee...
