☆ The Big Number: $76,535
  + stars: | 2024-04-19 | by ( Marie Solis | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Her starting pay for the Fever — the Women’s National Basketball Association team that selected her as the No. 1 draft pick on Monday — is part of a four-year contract that will total $338,056. But to some fans, it still seemed startling low for someone with her star power — especially compared with what her male counterparts in the National Basketball Association make.

☆ What the conversation about Caitlin Clark’s pay gets wrong
  + stars: | 2024-04-17 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
The WNBA’s stars aren’t asking to be paid an equal dollar amount to NBA players, however. WNBA players have made progress on salaries since 2020, when they reached their latest collective bargaining agreement with the league. Sharing the revenue pieBecause it’s a smaller and younger league, women’s players have had less bargaining power with team owners over their pay than men. While NBA players receive 50% of total NBA revenue, the WNBA must hit a certain revenue threshold annually before any revenue sharing agreements kick in. This has held back women’s salaries.

☆ Pro Sports in Las Vegas Aren’t Cheered by Everyone
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Ken Belson | Jenny Vrentas | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The history of Las Vegas has been marked by a relentless churn of hotels, casinos, theaters and restaurants. The Golden Knights of the National Hockey League were the first to start play here in 2017. The Aces of the Women’s National Basketball Association started in 2018, and the National Football League’s Raiders arrived from Oakland in 2020. Last year, Major League Baseball’s Athletics were given the go-ahead to make the same Oakland-to-Las Vegas move, and the National Basketball Association is expected to add a team in the coming years. Las Vegas’s transformation into a pro sports town reflects not just the leagues’ interest in the city and their general embrace of sports betting, but also the power of the region’s primary economic driver, tourism.

CNN —A string of sports games and practices have been postponed as smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to choke the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast parts of the United States. Around 75 million people are under air quality alerts as wildfire smoke shrouds major US cities, with Major League Baseball (MLB), the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) forced to postpone games due to concerns over dangerous air quality. Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies warms up at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday. Following consultation with the NWSL Medical and Operations staff, it was determined that the match could not be safely conducted based on the projected air quality index,” the NWSL said in a statement. Smoke from Canada’s fires has periodically affected the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for more than a week, raising concerns over the harms of persistent poor air quality.

☆ Rugby-England women's players to receive maternity cover
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Reuters Staff | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The issue of maternity leave for professional athletes has gradually come into sharper focus in recent years. In 2019, sportswear giant Nike introduced a new maternity policy for all its sponsored athletes, guaranteeing pay and bonuses for 18 months around pregnancy. World soccer governing body FIFA introduced 14 weeks of maternity leave in 2020, the same year that the Women’s National Basketball Association announced fully paid maternity leave as part of its collective bargaining agreement for the first time. Rugby Players’ Association general secretary Christian Day described the new policy as a “significant step forward” for the women’s game in England. “This new policy ensures that our women’s players will be better supported through parenthood when representing England,” Day said.

☆ Six Exercises WNBA Players Use to Stay Agile
  + stars: | 2022-10-22 | by ( Jen Murphy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Running and jumping come easily for children. “As adults, we stop playing, and unless you’re an athlete, you probably rarely find yourself jumping, bounding or sprinting,” says Sarah Walls , strength and conditioning coach for the Women’s National Basketball Association’s Washington Mystics. Without that type of activity, we lose our athleticism. Most mainstream exercises work in one plane of motion, she says, and don’t involve plyometrics—quick, explosive movements that train muscles to produce power. Drills that include jumping, hopping and quick movements in many planes benefit more than athletes.
