Nike's $28M/8yr deal with Clark ($3.5M/yr) stems from her individual marketability, funded by their $140B+ revenue, not WNBA coffers—it's separate from the league's ~$18M total annual payroll.
Tax perks via loss deductions are real perks for owners, but evidence shows they're secondary to bona fide growth: 2025 revenue at $200M+ (up XX% viewership), $2.2B media deals, valuations +180%. Losses subsidize expansion, not just justify low pay; players' CBA push for XX% share could change that.
