Wage inequality in professional basketball? Please. Please just spare us this. Griner went there to make more money, not because she necessarily needs it to survive. Griner didn't have the good sense not to bring oil into a country where it was illegal and she got nailed partly because of the politics. But she opened that door. Compared to Fogel, she had a massive PR department making this THE federal case. Without that this deal - by all other signs - wouldn't have been done.
Yes, wage inequality. Did you know that, "The pay disparity between WNBA players and NBA players is glaring.
The average NBA player earns $5.3 million a year, according to 2021-2022 data from Basketball Reference. By comparison, WNBA players earn an average of $130,000 a year. This means the average NBA player makes 41 times what the average WNBA player makes."
Now whether or not you feel they need that money to survive is your opinion but wage inequality is a real thing.
Yes she want there to make money. Professional athletes only have a small window in which to earn money. Whether male or female. And that assumes no career-foreshortening injuries. Tom Brady is an exception. Most must earn as much as they can while at the top of their game. Witness the obscene amount the Yankees will pay Judge!
Nobody goes to Russia for work because they want to. They go because they kinda have to. Professional athletes go where the money is, but also it’s the $ that concentrates the talent and competition. To stay competitive she must compete against the best female talent in the off-season.
