Angel Reese, the newcomer to Chicago Sky, sparked a controversy with his recent salary requirements significantly mayor within the National Association of Baloncesto Femenino (WNBA). The daring position of Reese, which includes advanced proposals of a possible decline if it does not concern its salary expectations, intensified the prolonged debate on the fair remuneration of female athletes and asked questions about the remuneration of its own right before remuneration based in the rendering.

Reese initially expressed his concerns in his podcast, expressing his firm conviction that WNBA players are infravalradas and have received compensation according to their contribution to the creation and popularity of the League. The establishment of parallelism with the economic advantages which currently receive the athletes of the quarries of number, image and semester (Nile) in university sports, suggests that this model should extend to the professional environment, which responds to its argument in favor of a salary increase.

“We are public, we generate income and merecemos that we are corresponding,” said Reese, who has a generalized feeling in the WNBA. From his point of view, he met the man of the scene as DJ Carrington, a commentator who responded publicly to Reese’s claims and enthusiastic the importance of recognizing the players that the Merecen. Without embargo, Carrington’s participation has also added a level of complexity, because its advisers were not asked to rendessor the players and leaders of the League to feed the debate.

If the defense of Reese of the best wages is very ecological, his specific investigation has generated criticism of analysts, aficionados and even other players. A controversy is at the center of Reese’s perception, during his first stages of his career in the WNBA, which has not demonstrated its value in the song to justify its high salary requests. Critics argue that the WNBA, like any professional sports league, operates within specific economic parameters, where the generation of income and the rendering in the Channel are the main determinants of the remuneration of the players.

“The WNBA salary structure is directly linked to our sources of income,” said Dr. Emily Carter, sports economist, said this publication. “If it is undoubtedly that there is a desire to improve wages, it is necessary to make a lasting form and in a way which reflects the general financial health of the Liga. Demanding a first level salary without a sustained rendering history and a significant contribution to the generation of entries is simply not the case. Economically viable”.

In addition, Reese’s prior declarations on the fact that it is not necessary to pay a WNBA salary, due to its success with contracts without salary, have been resurrected and used to verify the sincerity and consistency of its current requirements. Some observers interpret this inconsistency as an index of a gap between their permitted value and their real contribution to the League team.

The controversy has also fueled a broader debate on the rendering paper before marketing at the time of determining the wages of athletes. So much Reese, without duda, poses a great prestige and has helped to increase the visibility of the WNBA, some argue that its presence in social networks and its status of celebrity will not remove the importance of rendering in song, statistics and its general contribution at the end of the team.

“In the end, he is a professional player,” said veteran sports analyst Mark Thompson. “So social networks and marketing are key factors, gaining parties and making the maximum level even if it is essential. Demanding the maximum without making coherent in the song, transmitting an equivocal message and taking the work of the players who have devoted years to perfect their talent and stimulate the League Exito.”

The situation has also generated speculation about the possibility of a employer role in the WNBA, and this is much more likely if players have disputes about the arrival of a losing party to obtain higher wages. If there is a collective desire for better remuneration, the arrangement at that time is drastic and so endemic, on all possible negative repercussions on the fragile economic stability of the league.

In addition, the story that Reese is revitalized for himself the female baloncesto was questioned. So much so that its presence has attracted new aficionados and interested concerned by sport, the WNBA creation sector is prior to its league, with consolidated stars and confirmed players which contribute significantly to its popularity and its general development.
