Seattle Storm<\/a>\u00a0player Gabby Williams, who rejoined the WNBA mid-season after leading France to a silver medal in the Paris Olympics, had a lot to say about\u00a0Caitlin Clark<\/a>, and now she has made a drastic career move.<\/p>\n Gabby Willams has been among the most outspoken critics of the WNBA\u2019s current pay structure.<\/p>\n During her end-of-season exit interview last week, she called out the WNBA and its commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, for not living up to various financial promises they have made players.<\/p>\n \u201cThe W[NBA} thinks that they don\u2019t have to pay us more in order for us to be here. And I think I didn\u2019t express that when I first talked about prioritization,\u201d Williams said. \u201cOur commissioner talked about us being able to make $700,000. That\u2019s actually not true at all. There\u2019s not one player who makes that.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were promised team marketing agreements and league marketing agreements, but they\u2019ve fallen quite short,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>she continued.<\/p>\n Williams drew some criticism for her statement, including from a fan who claimed\u00a0Indiana Fever<\/a>\u00a0superstar Caitlin Clark earned more than $700,000 in her debut season.<\/p>\n Gabby Williams fired back.<\/p>\n \u201cClark makes $70,000 in the WNBA,\u201d Williams said in a\u00a0TikTok video<\/a>. \u201cSo I know all these Caitlin Clark fans, whatever, like \u2018Caitlin Clark makes $700,000,\u2019 That\u2019s off of endorsements.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not talking about endorsements, I\u2019m talking about the WNBA. And no, there is not one player in the entire WNBA who makes the money that the commissioner likes to brag about. And that was the point of that clip as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n
