Check out this truck seen making repeated loops around the block outside a NYC NBA store:
“Dear Santa,
Please tell Cathy Engelbert and Adam Silver we want a WNBA season! Pay the Players!”
and, on the back:
“Pay equity is not optional.
It is earned.
It is deserved.
It is overdue.”

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Is there any crossover of congresswomen who signed that letter but also passed the anti-trans women and girls in sports legislation yesterday? I'm not home to look it up yet.

And as Ben’s piece makes clear, as league revenue increases during the life of the CBA, that 15% would drop over time.
BREAKING Sources told @theathletic.com, the league’s salary structure proposal would result in players receiving less than 15% of total league revenue

commentating is not easy, esp doing it solo. etc.
but commenting "her shot is unstoppable, call out the national guard, maybe even they can't stop her" during a #3x3americup game is,,, not good.

Ethan Dietz, a sophomore hooper at Connors State, passed away after suffering an injury during Saturday’s game. He was only 20.
The 6’8 forward from Vilonia, Arkansas took an elbow to the head and had a medical emergency right after.

Avelo is using one of its ICE planes (painted white so it won’t hurt the brand) to fly pro-athlete women.
As I reported in @prospect.org, this plane had an emergency landing Nov 13. Migrants regularly soil themselves in their seats bc ICE guards won’t let them get up.

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬
