They work multiple jobs

Its also kind of hilarious watching people who argued against trans women in sports for the better part of a year flippantly dismiss the WNBA.

What were you arguing for if you don't actually give one **** about womens sports?

Years ago it was common for Major League Baseball players who weren't superstars to have jobs in the offseason.

I remember that All-Star Dodger secondbaseman Davey Lopes was a teacher in the offseason.

You believe the dumbest most provably false lies all the time. Zuck is a pathological liar.Literally everyone with a lick of credibility who has read the twitter files has called it a giant nothing burger. Literally. Every. Single. Person.And we know the exact same type of communication that was happening at twitter is what was happening at facebook. Again, if you really wat

Of course this is all incredibly easy to verify and of course I'm 100% right about everything despite being called a liar

What a dumb take. The WNBA isn't interesting to watch doesn't mean I want men to invade women's spaces. Almost as if these 2 things have absolutely nothing to do with each other yet somehow you pretend they do.

WNBA sucks. Also men shouldn't be allowed to compete in the WBNA. HOW CONTROVERSIAL.

by geezerchess

More people are watching the WNBA than ever before.

Because of Caitlin Clark who is getting the **** kicked out of her for being white and better at basketball than others. It's also funny how Caitlin Clark being so much better is rewarded with deals that are making her rich. Almost as if she's getting paid for not sucking.


Why would men want to compete in the WNBA for a 50,000$ salary

But of course its related. Its beyond dumb to pretend its not related

''Trust me bro'' in the wild. It's not related at all but you sure did a good explaining there is.

Women's football was **** for the longest time ever, doesn't mean I want Rooney to put on a wig and score 115 goals a game.

Seems like an absolute no brainer for any boys between the ages of 12 and 19 to go and make 50k a year and absolutely light up the WNBA whilst doing so.


Interesting how much froth a mention of the WNBA seems to churn up among certain folks.

I wonder what the correlation is?

"all leftist sources agree with my leftist take on this topic so it's settled" isn't an argument

Weird how zero trans basketball players have played in the WNBA despite no rules against it and it (trust me bro in the wild) being an absolute no brainer for kids to spend 2+ years on a physically devastating transition to get that sweet 50k salary

You don’t even understand what the debate is so you make the side against trans women competing in women’s sports look insanely stupid. When sports were integrating trans women into women’s sports they obviously had hormone requirements among other things. No one was ever talking about a guy putting on a wig and calling themselves a girl.

There are real reasons to oppose it in my view but yours is just a strawman.

There is a distinct effort from every single anti trans arguer to ignore the transition requirements. They just pretend, like you say, that juiced up dudes can throw on a wig and go compete against women. Its kind of a joke tbh

You don’t even need to transition. Just have to believe it and you’re considered a woman.

Love how you still aren’t able to produce any correlation. Just a wild “trust me bro” statement based on nothing but feels. Kinda like the trans issue.


by lozen

I cant imagine how some of these women survive on these salaries especially if traded to a market like NY

I think the team provides every player with housing and a car on top of their salary.


by coordi

Thinking sports is an "even playing field" is kind of brain dead. Its a communist mindset

I'm not sure that you, and people who think like you, willfully misunderstand the reasons for divisions in sports, or you just can't figure it out. Which is it?

I apologize. Just like Jalfrezi was incapable of understanding basic sarcasm I should’ve assumed people like you might take everything LITERALLY and therefore should use less sarcasm and hyperbole.

I’ll dumb it down moving forward. Promised.

If I had to guess: it's because unlike most lefties pushing for more men in women's sports, the ones arguing against it have some actual personal experience with physical competition and know what a truly terrible idea it is to break the barrier to entry. It's not unusual to get extra riled up about something you feel some connection to.

Completely lost in the conversation was the guy who correctly pointed out that if we opened up the WNBA to men, plenty of local high school boys would happily jump at the opportunity to outperform the current WNBA roster and make $2000+ per game played. Ditto for soccer.

coordi keeps harping on this point about nobody going through a transition just to bully women in sports, but the trajectory we were on wouldn't have required any drugs. "She says she's a woman, she's a woman. Believe all women. Let her play. End of story."

The only thing preventing it in most cases is the social stigma. One of the 8 trans threads had plenty of video examples of it in action, though. The goal was to not let it spread beyond those relatively rare cases.

You can not give a damn about the WNBA as an entertainment event, while also respecting the right for it to exist as an outlet for female competition. Some of us have daughters.

I don't think there usually are any transition requirements. Where that kind of thing is permitted at all (and in British sport it now mostly isn't) it's just done by self-declaration. The man doesn't even have to wear a wig -- Lia Williams didn't.

That's super cool, but I'd say the opinions of the actual fans/players/stakeholders of the WNBA matter a lot more than yours do, and they seem to be pretty much on board with the league's current transgender policies.


Every single sports league in the entire country had/has a testing requirement for trans athletes to compete. Literally every single one.

You guys are so ignorant on the topic that you argue so vehemently that it kind of pisses me off. Just stop being ignorant ****ing *******s

Just observe how poorly your attempts at rhetorical flourishes have been received and write more simply. Writing isn’t your thing but it doesn’t have to be the big deal you’re making it. Look at geezerchess for instance. And Lucioms writing in his second language without the misunderstandings you’re creating.


"we were moving towards no testing"

no we weren't

thats a fantasy that you guys tell yourselves to justify being bigotted morons

Meh, I wasn’t the one who actually believed people think you can get 13 years for calling someone a ****. If I was that person I probably would just hang my head in shame.

You don't understand, Ins0 has A DAUGHTER who might hypothetically try to become a professional WNBA player, not make the cut due to a hypothetical transgender athlete, and then miss out on that lucrative $60k salary!
