Connecting a Nate Bargatze joke to the annoying habit Adam Silver has of making the same offer to WNBA players and hoping for a different outcome. I think this clearly establishes that Bargatze is far funnier than Silver! https://t.co/XtqUMTrkNx

Once upon a time we passed a law that indicated boys and girls in sports would be treated equally. More than fifty years later and we can see this is still not true in softball and baseball!
The gap isn’t just in the stats, it’s structural. America’s high school softball programs are being shortchanged while baseball enjoys premium treatment. It's time to speak up and break the cycle: https://t.co/AX42Fv4jJt

The stats don’t lie. Across the U.S., high school softball and baseball aren’t treated equally, and the disparity is impossible to ignore. Full column ⬇️ https://t.co/As7kcBqgCy

Was quoted in the New York Times again today. This story is about the increase in WNBA ticket prices. Once upon a time, the WNBA gave tickets away. They are not doing that anymore. People want to see the WNBA now!! https://t.co/pbllJ2nyUo

Significant growth over multiple seasons has earned professional women’s basketball a wider audience, and with it higher prices.

❤️👊🏼TY, Daniel.
The more time passes, the more I appreciate Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. a genuinely good series that managed to maintain a high level of quality while releasing 20+ episodes annually, with (mostly) impressive visual effects

I learned a great deal about WNBA economics from this podcast episode: https://t.co/1431ay4FUd Myth of players having unreasonable compensation demands thoroughly debunked. Thank you @SarahSpain and @wagesofwins. I sure hope @WNBAPA is listening.
How can leagues report losses & still have big valuations? How is the WNBA ownership model affecting CBA negotiations? What are fair salaries for W players, and why is revenue share so important? Economics professor @wagesofwins breaks it all down. https://t.co/a1azQF6Dvw

If you find yourself typing any of these things: "The WNBA doesn't make money" or "They want a percentage of WHAT revenue?" or "The WNBA is 'subsidized' by the NBA" or "The WNBA is bad business"... This is for you! Know more, sound smarter! 👍

LOL reminder that @wagesofwins estimates that if the WNBA had a CBA structure more similar to the NBA's, max contracts should be north of $3M...
Latest updates on WNBA's CBA discussions, per @AnnieCostabile: - Proposal doesn't include supermax salary at or exceeding $1M in first year of deal - Proposed supermax closer to $850K; veteran minimum around $300K - WNBA denied a fixed salary model not tied to league revenue -

My latest @ips_journal: Human nature isn't alien to mistrust of the other. Studies show even children can internalize racial bias. Zohran Mamdani's rise as New York City's mayoral frontrunner signals the continuity of the culture of tolerance in America https://t.co/ZIRMRyy80U
