RIP Paul Di'Anno, original lead singer for Iron Maiden (first two albums)

in healthier times...

because we also have the discrimination against male athletes in college.

baseball and wrestling in particular got hammered by it.

The fuck does college wrestling have to do with the WNBA and their finances?

It's a business investment and also it's a rounding error compared to how much money the NBA has...and it looks like it will start making a profit soon. And even if it never did what does that matter to you?

 

[msgkings322]

you still have almost 30 years of losses before you're actually making money. Will have a negative ROI for a while now still.

1. Who the fuck cares?

2. It's their money, they can do what they want. Are you some kind of communist?

3. Who the fuck cares?

 

[msgkings322]

I’m still not convinced it will make money but if the NBA doesn’t care no big deal. The thing is as more money comes on they are going to be quick to show women are benefiting from it with higher salaries.

Apparently their new TV deal will make the league profitable

Doesn't affect me any

Or him or anyone. Let's be honest this is just part of his paleocon persona, women should know their place, etc. If he had a wife or daughter he might think differently but a person like that will have a hard time finding either. And that's probably just fine with him, it's a free country.

That's a title 9 issue, not a WNBA issue.

Really? Been in use for decades, look it up. Pat Buchanan was a paleocon, to contrast with neocons like Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld.

I’d heard neocon only becuase of the guys you mentioned and Romney.

Getting him for a 5th was a Jerry Jones tax lol.

One game in only a few days after joining the team and that 3rd is already looking fair. 4-66-1. A drop on his other target (3rd play of the game for a short first down) caused a bit of early tension, but he more than redeemed himself.

still not sure what the "lol" is for. Yeah, he was owed a lot so only cost a 5th. Not he is not owed as much so went for a 3rd (likely also more to get hiom now as opposed to waiting until more teams went after him).

He's still a good player I would think....likely everyone is happy about the deal.

If you don’t have espn plus are you really a sports fan?

I said I have it but it’s just low class penny anny bullshit. The nfl shouldn’t allow it.

I mean if I’m being honest and you told me I needed it to watch the cards/chargers while having Bucs/ravens on the same time, guess what I’m doing?

Had they really want people to purchase it then they needed to do it as a stand alone game

Well I do have 2 TVs lol. But yeah I know we aren’t going back. I just think back to the origins of MNF and this is cheap. Is what it is.

Ravens Lions Super Bowl coming.

Ravens Lions Super Bowl coming.

Certainly one of the more likely outcomes

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Browns are between a rock and a hard place right now.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So sexist takes on here yesterday regarding the WNBA....did not miss much,

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ravens Lions Super Bowl coming.

Took them a few games to figure it out this season....but the Ravens are now a huge threat to the Chiefs.....

Very possible the Ravens make the SB, unless the Chiefs offense figures things out.
