It’s not about how much she makes, it’s about the disparity in pay between men and women doing the same thing. Her making $76k for playing sports wouldn’t be a callout if LeBron (or whomever) were also making $76k.
While it’s fair to consider the pay disparity between men and women, you have to take it with a grain of salt. The NBA makes so much more money than the WNBA it would be crazy to think WNBA players should be paid the same when one product clearly generates more money than the other product.

i think the NBA runs WNBA at a loss too
Careful with rational thinking…
Bill Burr on the topic.
They’re not “doing the same” thing, though.
Playing in the WNBA is not the same as playing as in the NBA.
