What's the median?

Trump could have cancelled tariffs on groceries, clothing, back-to-school supplies – any one of a number of things that would have reduced costs for American families.

Instead, he chose gold.

The grand contradiction of America is that they need us to keep consuming but they also do not want to pay us. They will shame you for not spending enough while simultaneously not paying you enough to spend.

I know this will be a firestorm topic

WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of the leagues revenue(this includes ticket sales, merch, TV deals) for reference their male counterparts in the NBA is 50.0%.

This resulted in their salary cap being set at just 1.507 million for this year(less than half of Joe Ingles 3.634M)

In theory if they received even 40% of the leagues revenue that salary cap would be at 6.481 M.

That increase would mean roster expansion could occur, players could theoretically still make 3x their current salary and owners would still bring in 60% of the revenue.

Now to put that into perspective, that still means an entire WNBA roster would be paid less than Rob Dillingham will make in 2025-26(6.576M)

——————————

Now yes, the WNBA did lose 40 million dollars in 2024, but this is in large part due to the TV deal they are currently signed to, which in 2026 goes from roughly 45 Million annually to 200 Million annually.

This will result in essence result in the league making money over night from losing 40 to a net gain of 115M just on the TV deal alone. Even if the game and tickets sales were to stop growing, and merch stopped selling, it would still be in the green.

The current CBA would amount to players going from 1.507M in salary cap to just 4.0 M… a substantial raise however it would cost the league just 2.5 M out of that 115M TV deal profits.

If the players got 40%, that’s just 17.204M as a salary cap… a 11x raise over their current salaries, and still in the grand scheme of things less than 1 Jaden McDaniels(24.393M)

———————

The league is built on players whether you’re a CC, Aja, or Phee fan they deserve to get a bigger slice of the pie for the work they all have put in, and as the revenue grows, they should as well.

The WNBA players are not asking to be paid dollar for dollar what the NBA players make, from what I understand they just want a fair share of the revenue.

Now let’s enjoy some hoops.

This is the end result of anti-trans bigotry: more harassment of girls and women, more policing of gender roles, more gender McCarthyism.

My most bleeding heart opinion is that it's good for society to give poor people free or heavily discounted access to culturally and intellectually enriching experiences.

[MastaMunsta @MunstaMasta]

I'm just gonna say it, the whole "We shouldn't give poor people benefits because hypothetically some of the could be lazy" is the fakest ethical debate ever

If you’ve ever owned a piece of political attire, unless you’re directly related to the politician- you’re a weirdo

Any MAGA stuff. The Obama shirts 15 years ago. All of it. Fucking weird.

BREAKING: In a bizarre moment, RFK Jr. exposes his own warped beliefs that autistic children will "never pay taxes, never hold a job...never use a toilet unassisted." This is the Health and Human Services Secretary.

This is insane.

i don’t mind toph being more feminine in theory but the point is that she chose not to be. toph’s whole character was built around rejecting traditional gender roles and societal expectations that were forced onto her especially when it came to the idea of femininity
