Part 4/7:
As the WNBA approaches another season, player demands for higher salaries bring to light a broader issue.

Caitlyn Clark, a standout athlete currently capturing media attention, serves as a touchstone for discussing player compensation. However, the reliance on a single player’s drawing power raises further concerns about the sustainability of the league. Should Clark, or any players, falter, the consequences would be detrimental.
