When Caitlin Clark arrived in Dallas for her Indiana Fever debut, the conversation over WNBA disparity was rekindled.

The topic about how WNBA players are treated has been rekindled by Caitlin Clark’s arrival in Dallas before her professional debut. Before their game, the No. 1 selection of the Indiana Fever and her teammates got off a commercial flight.

WNBA teams travel commercially to and from games in accordance with the league’s collective bargaining agreement, which was signed in 2020 while Clark was still a student. This is in contrast to the NBA’s practice of chartering aircraft.

“Caitlin can earn up to half a million dollars in WNBA wages alone this year, so they’re just focusing on a base that is collectively bargained and [reportedly] low,” the source said.

She is the first choice.

Additionally, Clark signed a rumored eight-year, $28 million contract with Nike, which granted her access to her own shoe.

Hence, it was remarkable to witness Clark passing by the baggage claim area at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport in video that WFAA’s Matt Howerton sent to X.

Many fans responded by saying they thought Clark and her Fever teammates ought to be traveling in private.

One said, “Owners need to do better.”
