Clark went number 1 in WNBA draft and will make $338,000 over 4 years.
Victor Wembanyama went number one and last year’s NBA draft and will make $55,000,000 over 4 years (25,000,000 signing bonus).
Lots of discussion about this on the news right now calling attention to the gender** wage disparity.
Personally, I have no issue with this. This is capitalism. One product is much more valuable than the other, and therefore gets paid more. But they are really making a big deal out of this. I think as the women’s game becomes more popular, the salaries will go up, but that should be based off of Merritt and capitalism not forced.
**gender** is actually used grammatically incorrectly in the Sims, it should be sex, but I won’t use that because some people will get childish about it
