Classic Jamstone
"I agree A is a better option than B, but I'm gonna write 3 paragraphs about the great in charity workoption B does"
"I'm about to list off all the reasons why Kobe is the most underrated player in the universe, and why Jordan is the most overrated player in the universe, but I swear, I still think Jordan > Kobe by a mile!"
now i'm not saying kobe bryant is better than michael jordan, but kobe did blah blah blah and won blah blah blah and his advanced stats say blah blah blah
Some see the glass half empty, some see it half full. JamStone isn't saying it's either, whatever you think is right he agrees with, however there are 300ml of water in a 600ml glass.
No, Jamstone said he agrees the WNBA should be shutdown completely, even tho it made no sense to include that opinion in an explanation of all the great in charity work (
The WNBA helps bull s earn a living
As simple as this. The NBA does a lot to improve his image "The NBA Cares", "We are greater than AIDS", and all that. Now picture them ending the WNBA in the midst of negotiations between owners and players on who should get more money. I'm sure that would do wonders for their image.
You would still watch the NBA, I would still watch the NBA. Can you say that it wouldn't have a negative impact on the general public?
Maybe in a different time, maybe under the excuse of finding a way for professional female basketball to be profitable, the NBA can eventually end the WNBA. Not now, and specially if it doesn't make any considerable difference in the NBA economy as it seems to be the case.
What about the MNBA, the Mexican NBA? Don't they deserve a league?
Agree. However, where would tall, fast, athletic lesbians burn off steam?
The WNBA is not a charity organization, stop trying to justify its existence by saying it's a charity organization.
I would rather watch HS ball than the WNBA. So when is the WNFL going to be funded by the NFL or am I behind the curve here?
I could open a restaurant.Agree. However, where would tall, fast, athletic lesbians burn off steam?
True. Not profitable doesn't equate to not for profit.
The WNBA is not a charity organization, stop trying to justify its existence by saying it's a charity organization.
The NBA was doing fine before Stern established the WNBA. Quit acting like the WNBA is an absolute must for the NBA's public image. If the general public cared so much about the WNBA being around, the general public would actually pay attention to the WNBA.
Yeah, take the 5 best high school male players in this country, put them against the 5 best female players in the world, and watch the women's team get run off the court. Not going out on much of a limb saying HS > WNBA
Killing the WNBA would have no negative effect on the NBA. I don't know a single NBA fan who can name 5 WNBA players on one team. I cannot name 5 in the entire league.
Let them apply for D-league. If they make it, good. They might be fun to watch. Otherwise, no. There's no crying in basketball unless you are Lebron or Kobe.
HS ball is great when you can attend. Nothing like sitting at the court level and feeling the fast break vibrations as you stare through the legs of the cheerleaders... I mean... it's a great sport for the kids.
Don't twist it.
The WNBA isn't an absolute must for the NBA image. And I also didn't say that the the WNBA does any charity at all.
If they have never created it, I'm sure there wouldn't be much complaining about the lack of a professional women's league either.
But you're the one saying, it's ok for women's to play basketball when the economy is high. But when the recession hits they should be the first to go down. If you think that's a good way to promote the NBA image OK.
Heck, let them apply for the NBA. The people who'd cry about the WNBA being banned are the idiots who whine about equal opportunity but don't even know what equal opportunity is. Give women an equal opportunity to make the NBA.
I said it was excusable, if it were up to me the WNBA wouldn't be around regardless of the economy. I only said a good economy made it so it wasn't something worth complaining about.
It becomes something to complain about when Stern thinks contracting the NBA is a better option than killing the WNBA.
I said view it like one. It's not a charity. What I was saying is that its existence serves a social agenda. Sure it has to do with Stern's ego as well. But I do think Stern is using it for image.
It would be like a soft drink company having a division of the company work on a "health drink." The health drink doesn't sell at all. They don't scrap that division because they want consumers to know they aren't just trying to kill people with sugared drinks and that they're actually socially conscious about the health negatives of their primary money maker.
It is about image too.
I did agree that the WNBA would be better off scrapped. My point was that the WNBA isn't even on the radar as one of primary economic problems the NBA and its franchises are having right now. It's an afterthought. The WNBA isn't what's hurting the NBA financially. Whether it stays alive or they scrap it altogether, the NBA has the same economic problems. The WNBA is very low on the list of financial priorities the NBA needs to fix. That's the point.
aka tax shelter
They should end it. If it's more costly now because of any deals they have in place, then whenever those deals are over. But it's not working.
Where's the part about how they could shut down the WNBA at any time without Stern's approval
I wasn't aware the NBA had any health negatives they had to be socially conscious of. What a great comparison.
Where's the WNBA funding clause of the NBA collective bargaining agreement?
