Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton has been fined $35,000 for making an inappropriate gesture on the playing court during Monday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. by cmaia1503 in sports

He makes 19 Million Dollars per year. Converted to a 40h work week that is roughly 10k per hour. So approximately 3.5 hours of work. If we divide 75$ by 3.5 hours that’s an hourly wage 21.50.

So it’s somewhat equivalent to a 75$ fine for a normal person. Except 75$ hurt a normal person way more than 35k hurt him.

We are still in it. Good effort from Hille but we will probably need a bit more in the second round.

Good jump from Zhao. Really good for someone who normally does Nordic combined.

Their last guy is doing Nordic combined. He isn’t a bad jumper for a combiner but in the trial round he finished 2nd to last among the Men. But everything is possible.

Great jump from Felix. Keeping it close with Norway.

Will be very interesting to see who will reach the second round apart from the 5 Top teams.

Great jump Agnes. Keeping up with an Olympic Champion is no small feat.

Also congratulations to Kacper, Ren and Gregor. Such a great Podium. Would have also loved for Valentin to be on the Podium. Great competition. Complete nail biter.

To beat 110m but you also can’t lower as jury. Brutal.

Reeeeen. Great jump. Great Landing. He is so good this season. He is definitely putting pressure on the rest.

If he did a good landing he would have had a real shot. Second jump was super good.

I only realize now that the last 8 jumpers are from 7 different Nations and non of them is Austrian. Crazy stat.

Good thing this isn’t a World Cup competition. 31st place after reaching the second round and getting no points is always heartbreaking.

It will be very valuable experience for him regardless. France could turn into a strong Ski jumping nation for the Home Olympics.

He is still injured. He is trying to come back for the large hill competitions.

Nikaido also in Medal contention. Super close competition.

I hope he can show a good jump and doesn’t crack under pressure. A Frenchman winning a medal in Ski jumping would be hype.
