tbf, Caitlin Clark is the only WNBA player that’s profitable, and she’s kinda limited salary wise by the fact that the women’s league in general is not profitable and heavily subsidised by the NBA.

People will bitch about how the men’s league gets paid so much in comparison, then proceed to not watch the women’s league…

If you want it to make money YOU need to support it 🫵

This has always been my stance, Women make up approximately 50% of the population and the WNBA generates 2% of the revenue that the NBA does...

My wife and her friends go to some restaraunt once a month and they buy brand name workout clothes. Go to a game, buy a jersey, take your daughter and make it a thing.

Part of me says the real solution is to stop paying people $12m a year to throw balls around, but then again compared to the amount the people who own the teams and league get, shits chump change.

Nick Kroll does not look impressed. Then again, he never does.

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney for those who don't know.

I had to do a double take scrolling because I was like "Wait, what that Nick Kroll?"

This reminds me of how well I can do algebra and calculus but need to whip out the calculator for the tip.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Tips are easy. You move the decimal point (10%) and double (20%). Or find 10%, half of 10% is 5% and add that 5% to whatever 10% was for a 15% tip. And fudge the numbers to make the math easier when it makes sense to, it's a tip not a math test.

What are you guys talking about? Tip is just rounding up to banknotes-only. €37.25? You pay 2x€20.

You're going to far. 0% of any sum is 0

Easy for you to say! You don't have scrambled eggs for brains. 😜

Is that your final answer?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Considering 1 percent of 12 million is 120k I guess that's about right.
