The WNBA projects a recent proposal from the WNBPA, which would give players ~30% of gross revenue & is believed to feature a ~$10.5 million salary cap, would result in $700 million in losses over the course of the deal.

The union believes that projection is "absolutely false."
As negotiations over a new CBA near the Jan. 9 deadline, the WNBA and WNBPA remain far apart on several key issues: what a revenue sharing system should look like, what should be considered revenue & how to account for expenses.

@davidjroth.bsky.social - when I begin typing "wikipedia" into my search bar, the entry that is always suggested is Buck Showalter, for some reason. Since I always click on that top result, every wikipedia search I conduct starts from Buck's page. I felt as if it was important that you know this.

Luxury seats are a response to there being a ton more Americans for whom ticket prices are no object, thanks mostly to Ronald Reagan. The ideal stadium, to an owner, is probably one incredibly opulent seat that you could then sell to Martin Shkreli.

Every single #NBA player today should be Thankful for this man, Oscar Robertson.

Without Oscar, there would be no unrestricted free agency, no 100+ million dollar contracts & no player empowerment !

Happy Birthday Big O’ 🎂

Not going to read too much into it, obviously Trump is the worst man alive, and is going to revert to saying the most odious shit imaginable in like an hour, but it's funny that this is coming a couple hours after 90 democrat losers voted to say "socialism is bad" for no reason.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

AI in higher education is very simple: the neoliberal demands of the marketplace require institutions to do the song and dance, and it is left to professors to try to mitigate the damage as the only actors who care about actual student learning.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
