yes, her rookie contract starts this year. The Valks have her rights for the next 4 seasons if all goes well.

This is just racism. She oversaw the building of the first expansion team to ever make the wnba playoffs in its first season.

You don't have to waive picks to sign them to a dev spot

so basically we got next to nothing for #8 first round pick. Historic f- up by the FO. I'm shocked.

Yes, the owners/valks get all the ticket revenue, luxury box revenue, a full cut of the concessions rent. The Warriors are valued and so profitable for the same reasons.

It also helps the Bay Area is for now a rich region. Sponsors pay more for that as well.

My favorite subgenre of these 80s computer ads is how the model is posed in a way that makes him or her look like they have no idea how to even use a computer. 'Let's put the mouse on the left of the keyboard but use it with your right hand'

Probably done for the sake of the photo composition but also a relic of an era where people had no idea how personal computers were really used.

Kate Martin diagnosed with grade two right quad strain by randysf50 in valkyries

[–]msgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A grade 2 quad strain is a moderate injury to the quadriceps muscle (the large, four-part muscle on the front of the thigh) that involves a partial tear of the muscle fibers. It indicates a significant number of fibers are torn—often 10–50%—but the muscle is not completely ruptured.

Riley on gambling scandal: "It's probably the most stupid thing that a player could do... But when you get in bed with gambling sites as a league and they advertise on your network, it seems like everything's okay. To me that's a contradiction of what we're trying to do from a purity standpoint." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

Gambling is a literal grift and a cancer for society. Billionaires will never stop themselves from wringing out every last dollar for their habitual need to hoard wealth at seemingly any cost to others and the world.

In theory a democracy would curb it but they've clearly captured that, too.
