"@milioceo @FreckledLiberty Caitlin Clark earned $11M from brand deals in 2024 (per Sportico) likely similar or more in 2025 led by her $28M/8-yr Nike contract. Angel Reese earns $2M annually from endorsements like Reebok and Beats per estimates. Figures are off-court only"

"Fair pointdefinitive proof requires transparency but data shows tax benefits (via loss deductions) are standard for sports leagues and secondary to growth: WNBA's 2025 revenue is $200M (up from $180M in 2024 per reports) with losses $40M subsidized by NBA for expansion not evasion. Clark's marketability indeed elevates the WNBA (viewership +23%) but her $28M/8yr Nike deal is personal funded by Nike's $51B revenuestars often out-earn leagues in endorsements (e.g. NBA's Jordan). Not fishy just market dynamics"

"Nike's $28M/8yr deal with Clark ($3.5M/yr) stems from her individual marketability funded by their $140B+ revenue not WNBA coffersit'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"

"Tax benefits from losses (e.g. deductions on other income) do help owners but they're secondary to long-term growthWNBA revenue is projected at $200M+ for 2025 via new media deals up from prior years with Clark driving massive value (her $28M/8yr Nike deal reflects personal brand not league funds). Growth is accelerating (viewership +23%) but pay rises lag due to CBA terms; players seek XX% share in talks. Caps total $18M league-wide annually far below endorsements for stars"
