Talk about unequal pay: The most a WNBA player can make in a season is $105,000. The Atlanta Hawks' Joe Johnson this season will make more than $272,000 -- per game. Agent Bruce Levy said players can add to the average $72,000 WNBA salary by playing overseas, where a typical seven-month contract starts at $40,000.
The average pay in MLS is 75k. There are a few players that make wak above that though. Landon Donovan makes 900k and Freddy Adu I think makes 750k. The players on the reserve teams that see very little to no time with the first teams make $11,500 I think.DL and W-League players make $0 (for playing at least) per season due to NCAA restrictions (most of the rosters is made up of NCAA players, and they would lose their eligibility if they were paid or if they played with players who were paid. Why yes the NCAA sucks.
