Quick Glance: The Caitlin Clark Impact and the Uncomfortable Truth Behind It
- Caitlin Clark deserves every endorsement deal she's offered. Her influence as an influencer is based on several key factors.
- Clark’s attractiveness to local companies and national corporations is heightened by the fact that she is a White woman who has dominated a sport that’s viewed as predominately Black; a straight woman who is joining a league with a sizable LGBTQ+ player population; and a person who comes from America’s heartland, where residents often feel their beliefs and values are ignored or disrespected by the geographical edges of the country.
- There was a significant disparity in the competition for Caitlin Clark in the end. Nike offered 8 years / $28 million, Adidas 4 years / $6 million, Under Armour 4 years / $16 million, and Puma withdrew after hearing about $3 million.
- It is a fact that brand ambassadorship at her level is not simply a commentary on someone’s athletic ability. It’s also a reflection of society’s impact on who gets the biggest bags.
