Jessica Yellin Instagram – WNBA PAY OUTRAGE IN CONTEXT
The success of @ncaa women’s basketball has changed the conversation. So many of you are outraged that @caitlinclark22 electrified the public, set new records for college ball – for both men and women – and helped drive the season to record high ratings. She was just the number one @wnba draft pick (going to the @indianafever) but she’s getting paid a paltry sum. Only $76,000 her first year. Tons of you are outraged by this. You asked how could this be?
We did the research and have some answers. It’s a bad news-good news scenario. As in things have been bad, but they seem to be getting better. And whether they get much better depends on you and me.
Check out the reel for details. What do you think? If you don’t already, will you start paying to see women’s sports?
PS @deloitte predicts women’s elite sports revenue will top $1 billion dollars worldwide for the first time this year. And women are expected to earn more sponsorships at higher rates.
And of course Clark is expected to make much more than $76k on sponsorships, and other deals.
