By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

Caitlin Clark vs. basketball pay gap
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatawrapper.dwcdn
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.

🏀 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.

📺 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 — players' chance to grab a bigger slice of the league's growing pie.

Go deeper.

After 36 seasons as the hyperexcitable voice of the New York Yankees, John Sterling, 85, was given a jersey with No. 5,631 — his total games — during an on-field retirement ceremony at Yankee Stadium yesterday.

  • Sterling called 5,420 regular-season games plus 211 postseason games, AP reports.
  • Fans pined to hear him follow final outs with: "Theeeeee Yankees win!"

In his booming baritone, Sterling explained the origin of his signature, exclamatory home run calls:

  • "I just happened to do something for Bernie Williams. He hit a home run and I said, 'Bern, baby, Bern!'"
  • "I did say `A-bomb from A-Rod!' when he hit a home run and I did say: `Robbie Canó, don't you know,'" Sterling recalled of his calls for Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Canó.

And don't forget: "It's a Jeter jolt!"

The Mavs lost in a lackluster Game 1 of the first round of the NBA playoffs against the L.A. Clippers.

How it happened: The Mavs had their worst offensive first half in a playoff game in franchise history, trailing 56-30 at halftime, per ESPN.

  • The Clippers maintained a double-digit lead throughout the second half.
  • But, Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving did score 33 and 31 points, respectively.

What's next: The Mavs play Game 2 tomorrow night in L.A.

  • Tonight, the Stars have home-ice advantage in their first playoff game against the reigning Stanley Cup champs, the Vegas Golden Knights, at 8:30pm at the American Airlines Center.

The Stars couldn't defeat the reigning world champs last night in Dallas.

What happened: Dallas lost Game 1 of the best-of-seven series to the Vegas Golden Knights.

  • Vegas landed on the scoreboard early in a high-scoring first period that ended with the Golden Knights ahead, 3-2.
  • The Stars were held scoreless in the second period, trailing 4-2. Mason Marchment cut into Vegas' lead late in the third period, giving Dallas a chance to tie the game.
  • But, alas, it didn't happen. The Stars lost 4-3.

What's next: The Stars play Game 2 at 8:30pm tomorrow in Dallas.

  • But first, the Mavs, our other playoff team, play Game 2 against the Clippers at 9 tonight in L.A.

Brands will be missing out if they don't understand that the rise of women's sports is here to stay, New York Liberty CEO Keia Clarke said today at the TN50: Business of Women's Sports Summit.

  • "This is the tipping point. It's for the long haul now and it's our job to really showcase the value and longevity," Clarke said at the event produced by Axios and Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment.

🎯 Why it matters: Thanks to Caitlin Clark's arrival, the WNBA is under pressure to capitalize financially as it heads into arguably the most anticipated season in its 28-year history — and a new media-rights deal.

Go deeper.

🏈 Cowboys draft new blood

The Dallas Cowboys picked some new players this weekend, but it remains unclear whether they'll keep some of the stars they already have.

Why it matters: Cowboys fans have been waiting almost 30 years for the team to win another Super Bowl.

State of play: This is the last year of quarterback Dak Prescott's contract, and there's a chance the team won't extend it before the season starts.

  • Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb — who led the NFL in catches — also hasn't had his contract extended and hasn't shown up yet to offseason workouts.

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 — defensive end from Western Michigan — was picked in the second round.
  • Cooper Beebe — guard from Kansas State — was picked in the third.
  • Marist Liufau — linebacker from Notre Dame — was also picked in the third.
  • Caelen Carson — cornerback from Wake Forest — was picked in the fifth.
  • Ryan Flournoy — wide receiver from Southeast Missouri State — was picked in the sixth.
  • Nathan Thomas — offensive lineman from Louisiana-Lafayette — was picked in the seventh.
  • Justin Rogers — defensive tackle from Auburn — was also picked in the seventh.

The bottom line: The Super Bowl is always in sight.

  • Until it's not.

The Dallas Stars got their first playoff win Saturday night in overtime against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Why it matters: The Stars needed to beat the reigning world champions to hang on in the Western Conference quarterfinals.

  • The Stars had lost six straight against Vegas, including the first two of the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

The intrigue: Dallas was the top seed and had home-ice advantage in the series but couldn't beat Vegas here.

What happened: Forward Wyatt Johnson, 20, was stellar, scoring two goals, including the game-winner in overtime.

What's next: Game 4 is at 8:30 tonight. Vegas leads the series 2-1.
