Feels like we are getting closer to a deal ac Latest league proposal 張品 Just so you have on background- no attribution to me or the league.. here are some updates •WNBA latest proposal includes: • A salary cap of $6.2M, up from $1.5M in 2025 - a more than 4x increase. • An average salary starting at $570K in year one and growing to $850K in year six - a significant bump for middle tier players. • Max salaries exceeding $1.3M growing to nearly $2M.
SCREAMING at Holly Rowe leaving the sourcing in her tweet and revealing it came from the league. Holly’s never been a journalist but this is fully amateur hour from a long-time member of the media.

Under this proposal the average base salary would be roughly $516,600 and $570,000 with the league's rev share projections factored in.
HOWEVER, the constraints posed to roster construction—if 20% of the cap is allotted to supermax—means the avg would likely end up being less.

Proposals have been exchanged and are continuing to be exchanged over the course of yesterday and today's meetings between the WNBA and WNBPA.
After a 12 hour session yesterday we are on hour five today.

Sometimes doing a PhD is terrible, but I love those moments when I get to incorporate specific articles/ideas I haven't had a chance to think about since like first year gender studies. It's like a little treat.
Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird have become aligned with the billionaire class and are no longer on the side of workers, and we should stop treating them as if their past history with labor negotiations erases the conflicts of interest they now have. In this essay I will
“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”

A reminder that the league stalled 6 weeks on the union’s proposal because they expected them to fold, only to expect them to cave at an arbitrary deadline. This is a very corporate US approach.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

New report from @antihate.ca on connections between far right, police and military. Here, the twist is in the dating site ecosystem, the misrepresentation of history, the targeting of Jews, queers, women. And of course last fall's hactivism of Martha Root.

I've been wondering if they were counting YouTube viewership. Last year I specifically subscribed to TSN to watch Unrivaled, but that wasn't an option this year obviously.

These WNBA negotiations have made me glad that I don’t share a union with a lot of people in the world. People are weak and labour negotiations are hard. But if no one is willing to strike and viewers won’t support strikes then their labour power is dead.
The Israeli regime is fascist and genocidal. The population supports the regime's actions at more than 80% in most polls. You don't have to argue with people online when these are facts.
