Caitlin Clark Makes Thoughts On WNBA Pay Protest Clear
Caitlin Clark Makes Thoughts On WNBA Pay Protest Clear originally appeared on The Spun. As collective bargaining negotiations continue between the WNBA and its players, those representing the All-Star squads on Saturday made a pointed statement with their pregame shirts: "Pay Us What You Owe Us." Improving player pay has been a big topic of conversation around the league for years at this point. And now that its popularity has exploded, Caitlin Clark and others are looking to cash in. "This is where the money's at, so both sides are going to fight really hard for it," Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier said Friday. "So we just have to make them know that we're not backing down on this point." Clark expanded on that during her time with reporters where she was asked about how her brand sponsorships compare to her Indiana Fever salary. "Honestly, I feel like that's where we're really fortunate is that we have those other deals. And I think that's one of the things we're in the room fighting for," Clark said, via the Indy Star. "Like Phee said, we should be paid more and hopefully that's the case moving forward as the league continues to grow. That's probably the most important thing that we're in the room advocating for." While the NBA has a 50-50 split in profits the current agreement between the W and its players is 75-25 — and that's only if the league hits its "cumulative revenue target" for the season. To put that into further perspective the WNBA's supermax as of right now is $250,000 total, which is more than $600,000 less than the Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will make per game next year. And while women's professional basketball obviously hasn't been as financially successful as the NBA over the course of its existence, its growth has been exponential and its becoming a real draw for hoops fans of all ages and Clark Makes Thoughts On WNBA Pay Protest Clear first appeared on The Spun on Jul 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
