So? They still put them in their planes.

"We're not responsible for putting shoddy parts on our aircraft because we don't make the parts!"

Like, seriously, how stupid are you?

I agree with your rationality, but I will never pass up an opportunity to rake Boeing over the coals after the 737 max debacle.

Or tickets could cost less and patrons would have more money in their pockets after a show.

But that would cut into profits, and useful idiots can't have that.

So she needs more money so landlords can make more money?

When does this cycle end?

There are plenty of reasons for this, but one of them is that the game is just fun to watch.

I encourage everyone who takes the "it's just fun to watch" rhetoric to heart to look at NASCAR. There was a period where it was "cool" to watch NASCAR, once that hype faded and only the people who actually cared about the sport were left, they started having massive declines in spectators.

I expect women's basketball to have the same result. It'll be fun to watch for a year or two to please the feminists, but after that people will realize they don't actually care and focus more on other things.

Same. I'd rather participate than be a spectator.

But participation doesn't make rich people more money, so we know what all the useful idiots are going to prefer.

Lol. I can just imagine all of the owners only hiring women who aren't a part of a union after that.

Not saying it shouldn't happen, but there will be no shortage of women willing to sell out their fellow women for a chance to make money playing basketball.

Capitalism, ho!

I wish Lemmy had a feature that let us see censored posts without sifting through the modlogs.

Yes, this comment was removed for saying "That seems like a perfectly reasonable salary to.play a child's game for a living"

I guess we're not allowed to call basketball a child's game, lol.

Lemmy mods are really competing with reddit for the most censored platform at this point.

Cue useful idiots saying she doesn't make enough money for... checks notes playing sports.

You know there are doctors who make less than her?

In fact, there are countless people who work harder than her for less while actually doing something useful to society.
