Why do so many on the Left struggle with basic economic and business concepts?

Caitlin Clark’s rookie salary with WNBA sparks outrage

Women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark has signed a four-year contract with the Indiana Fever worth $338,056. However, her annual salary has sparked discussions of pay disparity

NBA revenue is more than 100x the WNBA. WNBA isn’t profitable. So why do so many believe that she deserve disproportionately more than her male counterparts relative to the revenue they generate

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Because that’s not what they really believe. They understand economics perfectly well. They just have a political disagreement with reality

 

[ElOgro]

She’ll make money off of advertising.

 

[ghost_of_lewis_samuels]

same reason that centrist and people on the right struggle with these concepts?

The Patriarchy….or something

On the other hand, some on the left are better at mocking Public Works than others:




This is thread related because you need a lot of that sh!t to get through a WNBA game.

According to the SJWs it is.

We need more Trump threads.

338k x 100 = 33.8 million. Similarly, Victor Wembanyama’s contract was 55 million.

55 million is a lot more than 33.8 million.

See my post above:
“ is more than 100x”

As in more than 100x. I don’t know the exact number so I rounded down for simplicity sake. The rough numbers I’ve heard are $60M or WNBA and $10B, which is about dead on proportional with your numbers above.

Reading is fundamental.

I think most people on both side have their own pet issues that flout economic realities

You don’t know the number and, as usual, you don’t care what the truth is.

 

[hal9000]

maybe the NBA should be more socialist like the NFL is

 

[PRCD]

Leftism is a politics of envy so the downwardly mobile embrace it. Downwardly-mobile people don't have much because they haven't earned much.

 

[kidfury]

what in heaven's name has donald coke whore trump junior earned you misguided cretin?

 

[StuAzole]

She should have played in Ice Cube’s league.

The whole WNBA combined makes $12mm a year. The 129th highest paid player in the NBA makes $12mm.

Clark and Her crew will make the league more profitable. The next generation will thank them.

People forget that the nba paid players sh!t until Magic and Bird.

NBA vs WNBA revenues: Closer look at the earnings in men's and women's pro basketball

When it comes to WNBA and NBA, there has been a big difference between the money that both leagues generate.

www.sportskeeda.com

“As per WSN, the WNBA generated around $60 million in revenues in 2023, which comes from 12 teams in the league. Compared to the WNBA, the NBA generates $10 billion in revenue which is generated through 30 teams across the league.”
Exactly what I said above.
