Members phkrause Posted April 18 Author Members Share Posted April 18 Caitlin Clark vs. basketball pay gap Data: Spotrac. (Based on average annual value of player's contract in 2023-24 season.) Chart: Simran Parwani/Axios Caitlin Clark's entire WNBA team combined will get paid about the same as one random back-bench NBA player next year, Axios' Sam Baker writes. The Indiana Fever's total payroll was roughly $1.2 million this past year, which is about average for the league. The NBA's minimum contract for a player with just one year of experience is $1.5 million per year. ๐ The big picture: Clark's legions of fans have been shocked to learn how little the WNBA's top talent gets paid. But she might be powerful enough to help change that reality. Ticket prices for Indiana Fever games are up almost 200%, per The Athletic. Other teams' ticket prices are highest, by far, for games against the Fever. Clark is already an astounding driver of TV ratings, merchandising and high-profile sponsorships. ๐บ What's next: The WNBA is in the process of negotiating a new media deal, just as droves of new fans will be tuning in. The league will need to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement with players by 2027 โ players' chance to grab a bigger slice of the league's growing pie. Go deeper.

The latest: The Cowboys drafted eight players after starting the weekend with seven picks. They exchanged their 24th pick in the first round with the Detroit Lions for their 29th pick and an extra third-round pick. Who's who: The University of Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton was picked 29th in the first round. The former TCU player will play left tackle. Marshawn Kneeland โ defensive end from Western Michigan โ was picked in the second round. Cooper Beebe โ guard from Kansas State โ was picked in the third.

They ended up against the reigning Stanley Cup champions, who have proven to be kryptonite. The Stars were knocked out of the playoffs last year by Vegas and lost all three of their regular season matchups. Yes, but: That may be changing! The Stars managed to win two straight in Vegas and kept up the momentum in front of a raucous home crowd last night. What happened: Vegas scored early in the first period on a power play, but the Stars quickly clapped back with an Evgenii Dadonov goal. Dallas then led 2-1 after Matt Duchene scored on a power play. Vegas quickly tied it. But Jason Robertson scored on a power play late in the second after Tyler Seguin was hit in the face. Goalie Jake Oettinger stopped 25 shots, including one from the splits late in the third. ๐ฆฆ What's next: Game 6 is back in Vegas on Friday.

Members phkrause Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM Author Members Share Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM ย โพ๏ธ TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME THE NL IS CRUSHING THE AL IN ATTENDANCE (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports) The American League has long held an advantage over the National League, winning more World Series (68-51), more All-Star Games (47-44), more interleague season series (19-8) and more head-to-head regular-season games (3,962-3,690 entering this year). โ Yes, but: The NL is currently dominating the AL in another category: attendance. So far this season, the NL has the four teams with the highest average attendance (Dodgers, Padres, Phillies, Braves) and seven of the top 10. And only one NL team is in the bottom five (Marlins). โ Average attendance by division: โ NL West: 34,592 AL East: 28,154 NL East: 27,700 NL Central: 27,278 AL West: 25,599 AL Central: 17,934 Of note: Capacity differs by ballpark, but that isn't what's driving the NL's advantage. The AL has five of the 10 biggest stadiums.
