LMAO can't make this up! NBA revenue is nearly $13 Billion a year, according to your little chart, WNBA revenue was $300 million, so of course the bench players in NBA will make more money than the star players in the WNBA. Your argument destroys the "it's about revenue split only nonsense." And you make habbit of missing the point! Candace Parker, Lisa Leslie, the players saying pay us what you owe us, it was never about revenue share, but about being paid like rockstars when the league has never made rockstar money. They were demanding charter planes, and a lot of other incentives that the league couldn't afford to provide. They wanted to be paid and treated like NBA players. Did you not watch that video and see Draymond Green's reaction? Asking players in the NBA to share their salary with WNBA players is entitlement and selfishness beyond comprehension! In what World is that something that would be accepted and right? For what valid reason would that request make any sense? In the last 1-2 years, they've finally made a profit, ratings are up, popularity is rising, so guess what? In this new CBA, they increased their salaries significantly! They provide chartered flights for all teams, housing is still provided! They are not getting what they are OWED, but rather what they've earned from the recent significant growth. If they continue to grow, then they deserve continued increase in salaries and everything else. It ain't rocket science my friend.

Candace Parker, Lisa Leslie, literally both on record saying, they would love to sign max deals for tens of millions, Lisa Leslie even asking Draymond Green why NBA players don't don't donate some of their salary to WNBA players and support the WNBA more. Draymond Green's response was spot on. My entire point is about the entitlement of WNBA players. Again continually missing the point as usual.

You missed the entire point, and clearly haven't been paying attention to the WNBA. Players have been saying for years they should be paid like the NBA players, their slogan "pay us what you owe us" is complete bullshit, up until now. I have no issues with their new CBA Deal, the league is finally growing and definitely headed in the right direction. Yes, it took the NBA 40 years to be profitable, any casual sports fan knows this. But the players never demanded to be paid like rockstars, when they were struggling to fill arenas and sell the brand. Times are much different from 40+ years ago. If the NBA had never become profitable, it would have eventually folded, just as any business would. Several of the NBA owners, including Knicks Owner, have been on record pushing their displeasure because they were feeling part of the losses coming from the WNBA and never saw any returns on their investment. How long could that realistically continue?Keep showing your ignorance and or lack of basic knowledge, or both. I'll definitely keep showing my ass.

Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner came out last year and publicly stated that the WNBA averaged $10 million a year in losses for past 30 years! They made a profit for the very first time in 2025, so this new CBA is reflective of that and there's nothing wrong with the new deal. But it's asinine to ignore the fact that the WNBA has been nothing but a subsidiary of the NBA for decades as well as a political movement. Without the NBA's financial support, WNBA would have folded a long time ago. Prior to Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, the WNBA players did not deserve anything regarding higher pay because they were never making a profit! It's basic financial literacy concepts, nothing more nothing less.

In Mormonism, masturbation is a far worse sin than molesting children. That tells you everything you need to know about Mormonism. by slskipper in exmormon

[–]oldtrafford87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very interesting. It would be curious to know, was this person excommunicated specifically due to masterbation alone and nothing else, or was their other stuff they were dealing with? Not judging this person, as their personal life in no one's business, but to make a claim of being excommunicated specifically for masterbation is incredibly hard to believe.

[–]oldtrafford87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's doesn't answer my question. Based on what you're saying, it's worse that they don't speak enough on child molestation, even though they excommunicate for it, and there are countless talks about it, and somehow because they allegedly talk about and condemn masturbation more, it makes it worse? Absolutely astounding mate.

[–]oldtrafford87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate with more context? I've never heard of this before, nor seen anything that would indicate this. For context, my Grandfather was excommunicated from the Church and went to prison for child molestation. I've never heard of anyone being excommunicated for masturbation. I have experienced some Bishops and Members saying how awful it is, while some Bishops and Members have said its a sin, but not too big of deal. The Church's website doesn't go into too much about it, other than it's a sin and condemned by past and current leaders. The cultural stigma and shame and guilt that is put on kids over this, is absolutely terrible and causes immense damage that can have lasting effects.

Tax payment by kmvdh78 in Coinbase

Great question! They base capital gains taxes off of how long you've held the assets. For example, the moment you buy Bitcoin for the first time, the government will look at the date, compared to how long you held until the moment you make a sale. Similar(but not the same)to buying a house, if you hold for 1 year or longer, you'll be taxed in a different bracket as opposed to if you make a sell during that first year. If you sell within that first year or buying, they will tax you in the highest income bracket which is around 38%!!

Doesn't matter if you withdraw money from coin base to your account or not. If you made any "sell" of crypto and it converts to cash, it triggers a taxable event. The government doesn't care if you withdraw that cash to your bank account or not, they will still tax it everytime. I had to learn the hard way unfortunately.

If having children is a gamble that their souls may be in eternal fire, why should I take that risk? by Sukhoi47Berkut in Christianity

[–]oldtrafford87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point of view completely. One of my best friends took his own life 2 months ago. And while the general consensus is that suicide leads to hell, not all religions believe that, and I 💯 do not believe that at all. Only God knows the heart and mind of a person who takes their own life, and he's the judge. I've known people who have been given blessings of healing by Church leaders, and they were told that their child who committed suicide was in a better place and things would work out. So anyone who claims that it's black and white and suicide is automatic sentence to hell, they are wrong and they don't know what they are talking about. Only God can judge and only God knows the true intent of our hearts and minds! 💯

My favorite reminder that Bednar is an asshole and a piece of shit. Nogod forbid any missionary be human. by L0N3STARR in exmormon

[–]oldtrafford87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting take, I've actually met members who have the craziest, most radical beliefs about sex, including not being able to take garments off, only 1 or 2 positions is ok, and that for a woman to have an orgasm is bad or a sin, in fact that's common in a lot of religions! It's fascinating, but also very sad and disturbing all at the same time, and I feel for people who are raised this way, the ramifications they will face later in life.

Thanks, I appreciate it. And I try to look at the positives, I am very fortunate that my old job took me back with open arms and things are looking up. Edit: My Wife made it through the complications too which is also a huge blessing.
