Glad to be here Bill Martin! Test drove 1 manual and 1 auto 2023 Sling today. 1 Was an S and 1 was an SLR. The next few days should be interesting :-).
Well you are certainly in the right place to find out anything you want to know about a Slingshot…or just shoot the BS with all of us !! If you have questions—-just ask !!

Last year's No. 1 NBA draft pick secured a $55 million four-year contract, while Caitlin Clark will pocket $338,056 over the same period under her contract with the WNBA Indiana Fever.
What the heck!!! -
Simple economics. The WNBA grossed $200 Million last year, while the NBA grossed $10.58 BILLION last year

WNBA can't even put people in the stands with free tickets.

What the heck!!!well, how doe the game attendance and related revenue coming in compare between the NBA and the WNBA? Also this is base pay, there is also whatever sponsorship income they can sign up for - - but in the end we are comparing things that are not equal in the money they produce as businesses and when one business, the NBA, generates 100's of times more revenue it is reasonable to expect the participants to get a much larger cut of that revenue.
As a side note, this is not the first thing I have seen on this trying to make it seem unfair that these totally unequal sources of revenue do not pay their players equally yet the one person I have not heard make a single complaint is Caitlin Clark - - she seems to be out and about with a huge grin on her face every time I see her very happy about being able to do what she loves.
Also perhaps Caitlin will be the catalyst woman basketball needs to start bringing up the income generated to levels where pay can be made more equal

Considering that most likely a national championship men’s high school basketball team could massacre any WNBA team might be a reason for the low pay. How many slam dunks do you see in women’s basketball ?? If they could get Lebron James to put on a dress and score 100 pts a game they may put more butts in the seat. They keep trying to compare Caitlin Clark to Pete Maravich. My dad took me to a few games when Maravich played for LSU. You really can’t even compare the 2 in there level of play. Pete was throwing full court behind the back passes before it became a normal thing. He packed the house everywhere he went !! WNBA will never be as exciting to watch as the MBA - women just don’t have the physical prowess to play really entertaining basketball!!

As a side note Caitlin is brand new to the WNBA so we have yet to see just how many butts she can put in the seats - - who knows - - only the future will tell and perhaps if she does bring if the fans her pay will increase - - still a huge unknown at this point in time

Clark is a formidable female player but what would you rather see - Clark shooting 3 pointers just over the 3 point line (Steph Curry makes them regular from 15 feet further out) or a guy jumping higher than three defenders doing a windmill dunk nearly tearing the goal down. When women can do that - sign me up for season tickets
