Can you imagine any logical person demanding to be paid more when their organization is losing $50M annually and has lost almost a half a billion dollars since their inception? The WNBA should thank the NBA for subsidizing them and be thankful they are getting a paycheck. Wearing those “pay us like the NBA” shirts is insulting, entitled, and so ignorant.

That’s called entitlement. Several players are a couple nuggets short of a happy meal.

A friend of mine works at one of the schools Boo went to and says Boo and Ace Bailey were tight. With his initial recruitment, he said with all the interactions he had with Boo he seemed like a nice kid and would give him the benefit of the doubt. I told him after the whole recruiting process with him and the whole Colorado flirting that he was going to be too much drama and I would be there to say “I told you so” whenever it goes down in flames. Here we are just getting into Year 2 and I can see the smoke from a mile away. Stop recruiting the drama queens and recruit the kids that actually want to be a part of a good culture.

I've been watching UFO stories on the Travel Channel. Incredible true stuff.

If you want UFO stories go to Fife Alabama.Ninety percent of the population there has been abducted by aliens. I was talking to a high school principal while vacationing in PCB a few days ago and he is from there. About half way through the conversation I realized that he actually believes that Fife, Alabama is the UFO capital of the United States.

Doesn't matter how much money you got,if the players can't stay on the field you're not going win... All the top BP pitchers are on IL...Dodgers may make playoffs but won't win WS...

Edit: Dodgers still lead N.L. West ..after losing 11/14 games. Someone posted N.L.West sucked and this individual was a Braves fan. Well Braves are like 8-22 against N.L.West so what does that say for the Braves..?

I have come to believe some aliens are good & some are really bad when they
start the exam part in a lab. Some exams can be painful & remembered.
Maybe the Travel Channel or the MUFON producers should go there to interview
these kind folks and get some juicy stories from them. I'd be interested to hear.

Not sure I’d buy into all that. The Aces were purchased for about $2M in 2022. The estimated average value for teams now is $269M. The maffs ain’t maffing… but social media iz buying what they are selling.

Numerous media outlets have updated the forecasted loss to $40M in 2024 vs the previous forecast of a $50M annual loss in 2024. Since the WNBA was founded in 1996, they’ve lost an average of $10M per year. Caitlin Clark will save the league if she stays healthy.


“The purported loss of US$40 million is an improvement on the US$50 million that was projected earlier this year. However, it doesn’t disguise that the WNBA still remains unprofitable, with NBA commissioner Adam Silver saying in 2018 that the WNBA had lost an average of more than US$10 million annually since its founding.”
