  1. Past hour
  2. As an alum from a school that never truly said what Gary Patterson truly was ever compensated i fully recognize sometimes there are things that aren't posted and maybe this is a situation where she is getting paid significantly more than what the players are paid in the league. Doubt you can go to Glass Door and check what the salary range for that position. Wearing those fucking t-shirts was showed just how out of their depth the players are in this matter and they need to find their Marvin Miller or be willing to walk and take the hit for a period of time, but whatever they do don't point to what the NBA players are making because that isn't the argument and that only brings back more attention to the fact right now you are a niche' sport.
  3. Did Grand Velas Boutique (adults only) with the wife 3 nights over the 4th. Pricy but amazing. Michelin star restaurant included in all inclusive (most restaurants are at main Grand Velas property short walk down the street/beach). Fantastic food/drink and never any issues with plenty of lounge chairs and servers at the pool.
  4. Is this performance art? I would ask you to explain why black history month is racist but you won't.
  5. Maybe I'm misreading your comments, but the murders happened at the TCBY on Anderson Lane across from Northcross Mall
  6. This guy's kid is way better than Kosi Okpala, guys. What are we even doing.
  7. Probably difficult to ascertain much until they officially start knocking heads.
  8. No one really answered why such a racist idea (white history month) would be a problem. Black history month is also racist. However, this is off topic, so I digress. Most of yall are openly racist bigots.
  9. Yeah I'll believe she took a pay cut from that when pigs fly. There's a reason her salary isn't publicly disclosed.
  10. Have you boycotted punctuation? If so, what are your demands?
  11. 1 billion shares of OPEN traded so far today, up 90% today to $4.20.
  12. Is that why they’re paying their commish 6 million?
  13. ESPN could simply stop running the games now and show old 30 for 30's and only a small segment would notice.
  14. HOLY FUCKING SHIT
  15. C'mon, now... I'd wager that this is in the bottom 1% of embarrassing shit that teenage Surlyites did for a little stinky finger.
  16. i don't know if it will wow you but i just sent an offer.
  17. Goodell's salary makes up 0.27% of NFL revenue. Adam Silver's salary makes up 0.08% of NBA revenue. If Englebert makes $6 million, that's 3% of WNBA revenue (reported, 2024) which makes her wildly overpaid relative to the revenue/profits the organization she leads generates (which, again, is her responsibility, not the players') and that's just one WNBA executive. Revenue has been on the upswing since even before Caitlin Clark, and yet player salaries (as a percentage relative to revenue generation) have been going down, not up, which kind of blows up the argument that they will start getting paid a higher % as revenue increases, considering we haven't seen that happen yet. My argument (and that of the players) is that the administrative side of the WNBA is largely overpaid compared to the players, who actually put the butts in seats.
  18. Say what you will about that problematic 41% but I’ve never been more certain about 4% of a group of people needing to be shot into the sun.
  19. I like Kruel a lot. I head Gerry and Bobby say right now he's just a pass rush guy. That's fine with me. Get him here and develop him. Plus Fuck OU
  20. Sounds like college sports to me. The commissioner retired from Deloitte at 55 and I would suspect she doesn't need a significant salary which is why she was perfect for the job. I would guess the disparity between Joey Football's compensation and the revenue sharing at Tech is a bigger multiple than the WNBA commissioner and Clark's salary. Might be wrong, but I don't think the WNBA is paying their commissioner $3.2M.
  21. If I'm the Lakers, I'd take CP3 100 times out of 100 over Smart. Odd. Unless Paul had no interest in being part of the circus.
  22. Probably their best sketch yet. Bravo.
  23. I would've gladly paid $20 a month back in the late 90s and onward for this access. On top of that I don't have to deal with ESPN.
  24. The statement/question you made carried a pretty plain implication: there's nothing wrong with having a white history month. If that's not what you meant, then you shouldn't have been so cryptic about it.
  25. This is categorically not true. Thanks to a combination of no salary caps, unsavory oligarch ownership, and in some places big-spending owners attached to very profitable men’s soccer clubs who have their women’s team as a vanity project— a top tier (like, maybe a dozen) of American players can land big salaries. The vast majority make nowhere near that much and it needs to be repeated: that is mostly thanks to no salary cap which means teammates are all really on the struggle bus. This debate about women’s sports overseas and especially Europe is so unanchored in reality. In every metric from fan attendance to participation at the youth league Europe lags far behind America in women’s sports. There is no mass audience for women’s basketball in Europe, viewership and attendance lags well below the W. The W is actually trying to put the league on a viable footing and have some equity in the revenue sharing (hence the CBA, a thing that does not exist in overseas leagues and the non-stars make basically nothing). The salaries for Americans in Turkey at the top clubs are sort of like if Hal Steinbrenner and Jerry Jones decided to start women’s teams as a vanity project and pay whatever they felt like. Sure, you’d get some big money for 5-10 players but it’s not a way to grow the sport or make it a sustainable way of life for even most pro-level players. Watching these sportswriters and players talk about salaries and benefits in Ekaterinburg pre-2022 was especially crazy making. They weren’t getting paid to play basketball. They were getting paid to serve as a cut-out in a complicated money laundering and international sanctions evading scheme for one of Putin’s favored oligarchs. And yeah, that was a pretty sweet gig but is wholly irrelevant for the economics of a legitimate women’s basketball league. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4456252/2023/04/27/wnba-salaries-overseas/
  26. FWIW adding Kreul would move us to #3 in the rankings behind USC and UGA
