Caitlin Clark was named Time Magazine's Athlete of the year. She shared: "I want to say I've earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege. [...] A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black... The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it's very important. I have to continue to try to change that." Using the platform to uplift others is just one of the reasons she earned that designation from Time Magazine!
On Monday, University of North Carolina defeated Wake Forest to win the 2024 Women's NCAA College Cup 1-0. Olivia Thomas scored the most beautiful goal in a set piece in the 64th minute, a must-see!
The list of highest-paid female athletes of 2024 by Sportico was just released and includes the likes of Coco Gauff, Eileen Gu, Iga Swiatek, Zheng Qinwen, and Aryna Sabalenka. Eleven women on the list made more than $10M, compared to just six in 2023. Progress!
