Yeah, I think it’s hard to judge this one survey in a vacuum without the context of all the other communications between the PA and the players.

Listening to the pod now and I think it’s a pretty big assumption that the union hasn’t asked players about their priorities on other, non-salary issues before now. They’ve said they’ve been surveying players periodically through this whole process.

Oh, Alabama.

This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.

One panel just is $400.

Well, it confirms that the league is specifically framing its offers this way on purpose. (Which is deliberately obfuscating so many things while trying to sensationalize how a handful of big stars will benefit.)

YES

I can’t.

Yup.

Oh. Oh no.

I fear they’re gonna end up caving on gross revenue.

Much better analysis than the folks who tried to sensationalize the player survey.

Even if I took it at face value that her job in Trump's DOJ reinforced for her that our immigration system is broken, and that she had already wanted to run for office some day… this way of going about it is not setting up herself up for success.

That's the most generous thing I have on this.

That is what I'm seeing on tv.

The fuck? Also, good fucking luck, LOL.

The premise here is ridiculous. Decline to break the record out of respect for Kobe? GTFO.

Apparently politics are just like sports broadcasting - men absolutely could not handle the shit women deal with every single damn day

Good thing she’s not on the EC!

QTNA!

I know Fanatics didn’t just email me about USA hockey merch and in 3 pages of items, there are 3 Hillary Knight autographed photos, 2 Megan Keller autographed photos, 1 Hillary Knight autographed puck, a few generic USA women’s hockey t-shirts and NOT A SINGLE women’s team jersey or shirsey.

Totally unsurprising and still also infuriating.

Yay! Love Naz. Looking forward to listening.

Adam Smith's first book of The Wealth of Nations ends by stating people in business "have generally an interest to deceive the public, and have upon many occasions deceived it."

Smith knew if you have an incentive to deceive, you might just do that.
