this week, college basketball phenom, caitlin clark, joined the big leagues as the nba's -- wnba's new draft pick, but this also fueled a firestorm around the pay gap between men and women in sports. clark is projected to earn over 338,000 dollars in her fourth year contract with the indiana fever, which is in stark contract to the nba's number one draft pick, whose four year contract netted him $55 million. of course, the difference in pay between these two rookies is staggering but there are a number of other factors at play. joining me now to talk about some of those factors is angel, 2009 wnba draft pick, five-time wnba all-star and two time olympic gold medalist.
