Caitlin Clark and WNBPA executive Napheesa Collier were among the players who called out the league over their current pay during Saturday's All-Star Game. The basketball stars hit the court during their pregame warmups wearing T-shirts that read "Pay Us What You Owe Us."

The message comes after negotiations between the WNBA and the players' association on a new CBA reportedly broke down. A trending video shared on Instagram on Saturday showed the players rocking the shirts in a sign of solidarity.

However, after coming across the post, MAGA supporter Kimberly Klacik took a shot at the players' campaign in the comments section:

"I guess 'girl math' is real."

The term "girl math" originated as a TikTok trend, with TikToker Samantha Jane explaining the concept in a video. Simply said, it's a jab summarizing how women approach money and then rationalize their spending habits.

Nonetheless, the demands from WNBA stars highlight their perception of the compensation offered to them despite the exploding popularity of women's basketball.
