It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Damn, it's almost as if sports guys make enough money to transition into the bourgeoisie (like Jordan buying restaurants and car dealerships and MiLB teams, licensing his name out etc) or have to work doing something else.
The pay is upper middle class for most players but we only really hear about the handful of super stars that have fat contracts and tens of millions in sponsorship deals. Only a tiny percentage ever make enough to transition out of the working class.
The vast majority ending up with broken bodies and working at a used car dealership the rest of their lives. These men and women were born with bodies that are statistical flukes and not made for a long healthy life due to their exaggerated size. We then ask them to do extreme things with their bodies and push limits that human beings shouldn't be able to cross. This is why players unions that can secure lifetime medical benefits for former players are so critical in professional team sports.
Especially for sports like American football, where brain damage is so prevalent.
