1 个月I love these headlines about Naomi Girma—because she’s WORTH it! But any thoughts on why there’s no public news about her actual contract like we so often see about male players? The transfer fee is the $$ exchanged between the teams, not the money she gets in her pocket, which I think we should all care more about when it comes to pay equity.
