No way she making more than Andrew Luck, Steph Curry, Russell Wilson, Anthony Davis etc

 

[Sapp]

Isn't Conor 29?

Well that's dumb, no one knows who the fuck Nunes is.

 

[TheGrouch]

They just needed a gay athlete to avoid the protest groups.

 

[The Hash Slinging Slasher]

She’s a brown gay female. She’ll probably get a nobel prize

I was gonna say there’s no way it’s highest paid under 30...almost every single player in the NBA made more than her last year.

 

[Coolidge]

So it's safe to say she was only included because she's homosexual. Grrreat.

 

[Failwani]

WTF?

Isn't Conor under 30?

Dafuq is this?

 

[teamfox223]

So Nunes is on the list just because she's gay, great..

Forbes obviously does.
