    They probably issued MagicBands to everyone. They’re good for everything from hotel check-in to unlocking hotel room doors, and that’s even before you get to a theme park.

    Again, since there's no WNBA thread: Way to piss off your best player

    Yeah, I was kind of stunned by this. Really, you're going to try to force someone to play despite a significant health concern? Seems absurd.

    Is the WNBA still under the auspices of the NBA? If so, by letting the men opt out of the season without medical tests, couldn't she sue for violation of Title IX?

    The best of the 25 or so Dead shows I saw was at the Palace to cap one of those all-time days. We woke up in Piscataway and bombed across the rust belt into Michigan up thru Detroit and into Auburn Hills, dropped into our seats as the curtain went up and lights went on, I smoked a J and let go and got lost in the next few hours of music.

    Edit: still have the ticket stub ...

    Title IX only covers education, but there sure looks like a suit on employment discrimination grounds.

    Damn it I knew I should have looked it up last night. I thought I was referring to the Civil Rights Act (which I looked up and I should have said Title VII). But point is still there.

    Guess not everything affiliated or slightly affiliated with the NBA is libruhl. They've got some hate in them, apparently.
    So what if she is exaggerating her health status with the Trumpandemic? She had back surgery -- back surgery -- in January.
    Good Tebow. Cut the best player in the sport a break. Cut a human a break.

    Delle Donne will probably tell them to fuck off, sit out a year, then go and make three times as much playing overseas.

    I think Stan Van is still a little pissed off about how his tenure in Orlando ended.



    EDIT-1stADD: And then some rando comes in and crushes it.
