I am always floored by the number of Americans (here, women) who cannot grasp that for a business (here, a basketball team), the expenditures (here, the salaries) cannot .the revenues of the business.
Clark is a great female basketball player. No one contends otherwise. But if her presence only puts butts in the seats equal to (for example) $80k per year, the business CANNOT pay her (for example) $2mm per year. Bankrupt before the end of the season.

it's the end result of decades worth of Marxist propaganda and brainwashing. people genuinely do not understand the basic concepts of why the WNBA actually loses money while the NBA makes millions and millions. they are so brainwashed with the oppressor / oppressed dialectic that the only logical explanation to them is that men are deliberately shortchanging women for their labor, and there is no consideration given to the fact that their labor has essentially no monetary value.

I dont think that is the issue with Clark. For her base salary, she is hamstrung by the current CBA. Her ability to put asses in seats and eyeballs to screen is pretty established. Her last three games shattered attendance records.
There was a legitimate concern that the popularity increase was due to it being the college game, but her WNBA draft drew 3.09 MM viewers which is way more than last year or the record viewership ( the Taurus draft). She is likely to earn her employer more than her salary ESPN
