Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3991459, member: 44"] This is circular reasoning. 1) Woman's basketball "doesn't move the needle." 2) Paige is WBB player. 3) Therefore Paige doesn't move the needle. But it is clear that WBB does "move the needle" because you have people like Stewie, Diana and Sue who are all multimillionaires from WBB. Does she? I don't know one way or the other. How could she when her career "doesn't move the needle"? In any event, as I noted in a prior post does it really make a whole lot of sense to compare the earnings of a 35 year old pro athlete to that of a teenager? I'm not seeing the logic. Respectfully suggest that linking a woman's "value" to whom she is dating is, to put it generously, outdated thinking. Hailey undoubtedly can monetize her Instagram following. I'm not sure how that matters to this discussion though. I'm not sure that there is a point here. We aren't talking about your life choices (and I very strongly suspect that you lacked the same social media presence that Paige has.) Nor is anyone suggesting that athlete's live solely of "social medial platforms," rather we are just talking about the brand value that are indicated by having three quarters of million people electing to "follow" you.
