  1. What are the viable alternatives? I have read that the Euro leagues only pay the absolute top players large salaries and the rest get the scraps. The 3 on 3 does not have the capacity to absorb the entire league even at their current salaries. Are there really alternatives that pay the same amount for 4 months of work? Yet multiple WNBA agents, granted anonymity in order to openly discuss details of overseas payouts, estimate only five to 10 players make more than $500,000 in a given season abroad, and that is when high-paying countries like China and Russia are fully accessible to WNBA players. “It’s always been a very small elite group that are getting paid like that,” one agent says. “And everybody else is getting paid OK.” What do WNBA players make overseas? Not as much as you’ve heard - The Athletic This doesn't even touch things like the Russian billionaire money laundering accusations etc
  2. Totally agree they deserve a raise, but comparing salaries/revenue percentages to the NBA is nonsensical. The league already offered a sizable increase as their base offer, and if they negotiate above that, they will all receive a large increase across the board. Their focus though, is on comparing percentages to the men which is not a good faith argument.
  3. The NBA percentage is irrelevant compared to the WNBA percentage of league revenue. The NBA makes billions in profit annually, and the WNBA is still looking for their first break even or modest profit season in their 3 decades of existence. It is good click bait but not based in reality It is like arguing the burger cook at McDonalds should be making the same as a chef at the French Laundry Let's compare the NBA/WNBA wages as a percentage of the NBA/WNBA profit.
  4. How worried are we about D Henry?

  6. 10-7-6 Ladd in first three games. I lean Allen but you are 100% correct in that it will cause a Ladd explosion. You’re fucked

  9. Friend finally got her puppy. Diabeetus warning
  10. Firing aside, I feel that a highly capable private company and a highly capable private individual making a private deal they are both agreeable with where no party was harmed should be left alone from the government. I have also learned the last few years from the New York court system that that is not the case.
  11. Two sets of closing documents in two weeks. They either say the loan is for a primary residence or a second home. I agree their is no way to determine intent to fraud, but incompetence is quite the defense considering her position. Again, simply releasing the closing documents will provide the needed evidence. If they both claim loans for a primary residences she can attempt to explain why it was incompetence and not an intent to fraud. Either way would be cause for termination IMO.
  12. Or….Americans didn’t appreciate being gaslit the last four years about the border being secure
  13. I think Reed can handle the ball just fine in the half court, it is 90ft of OKC D that presents a problem (but it is a limited to a few teams)
  14. Easy fix. Hardest, softest and one in the middle. Have to run all three in the race and you only get two sets of each for the weekend (maybe a 7th set of the team’s choosing).
  15. need to find article, but was under the impression he shot into a windowless panel van
  16. gluten free? Celiac?
  17. like ebay for guns you make an account, make a purchase and have the item shipped to your local gun store or FFL holder. When you go to pick it up you will do the background check there. Your local store will have a transfer fee to pay, usually between $25-$50 to take shipment and process background check.
  18. Got a link for this? Want to send a few to my dad to try.
