“Antonio Brown’s Continued Attacks on Caitlin Clark Draw Criticism Despite Being Blocked on Social Media”
Antonio Brown has once again unleashed a barrage of offensive remarks directed at WNBA star Caitlin Clark, despite being blocked by her on social media following his initial round of vitriolic posts.
The former NFL player, known for his provocative social media behavior, sparked outrage and offense earlier this week with derogatory comments about Clark, including a remark insinuating her appearance. Despite being blocked, Brown returned with further insults on Friday night, suggesting that Clark would undergo plastic surgery once she earns more money from the WNBA. He also posted a crass meme referencing Clark’s boyfriend, followed by a tweet seemingly dismissing the backlash with the statement, “Can’t be cancelled if you already cancelled.”
In addition to targeting Clark, Brown suggested that she should pursue a career in the NBA instead of playing in the women’s league, further igniting controversy.
These attacks from Brown come amidst another controversy involving Indy Star Sports reporter Gregg Doyel, who faced backlash for his inappropriate remarks during Clark’s first press conference with the Indiana Fever. Doyel’s attempt to imitate Clark’s celebratory gesture and his subsequent comment were widely criticized as sexist, prompting an apology from the reporter.
Despite the controversies, Clark has reasons for celebration, as reports surfaced this week indicating that she is on the brink of signing an eight-figure deal with Nike, which will include the release of her own signature shoe.
“President Biden Addresses Wage Disparity in Women’s Sports Amid Scrutiny of Caitlin Clark’s Starting Salary”
Caitlin Clark’s starting salary of $76,533 in her first season with the WNBA has come under scrutiny this week, sparking a larger conversation about wage disparity in women’s sports. The revelation prompted President Biden to weigh in on the issue, emphasizing the need for equal pay for female athletes.
In a post on Biden’s social media account, he acknowledged the groundbreaking achievements of women in sports while highlighting the persistent inequity in compensation. “Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all,” the post read. “But right now we’re seeing that even if you’re the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.”
WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert has addressed concerns about Clark’s salary, indicating that her reported starting salary is only a fraction of her potential earnings. Engelbert clarified that Clark’s total compensation could amount to nearly $500,000 once additional components, such as bonuses and incentives, are factored in. She emphasized that the reported figure represents only the base salary, which is collectively bargained, and does not reflect the full scope of Clark’s earning potential as the No. 1 draft pick.
Engelbert compared Clark’s situation to that of a CEO, highlighting the importance of considering various forms of compensation beyond the base pay. She underscored that Clark’s potential to earn up to half a million dollars in WNBA wages demonstrates that the reported starting salary is significantly lower than her actual earning capacity.
