Her salary is comparatively low because very few people watch the WNBA. If you like basketball and want to see the pinnacle of basketball-related athleticism, you're not watching the WNBA. Most people don't choose recreational activities to make some half-baked social statement
I think that was true in the past, but the women's tournament, largely because of Clark, had the highest TV ratings ever (higher than the men's for most of the tournament!).
She has unique individual star power but that doesn’t change the fundamental inferiority of the WNBA for anyone who wants to see peak basketball athleticism
People watch sports for reasons other than peak athleticism
Apparently not since almost no one watches the WNBA
