About time.
Draft Kings in particular has been brazen with the usage of anything "March Madness" this year. A big win here would also silence all the other companies trying to dance on trademark infringement.

@ginamilan_ Weird tweet. At 15, Melania didn't even know English, lived in a foreign land, social media didn't exist and it was the early to mid 80s so maybe?
English
If Melania Trump was on social media dropping the N-word, it would be front page news for weeks and people would be calling for her execution.
But since itโs Zohran Mamdaniโs wife, I guess itโs different, right?

@USATODAY There was a lot going on today but finally read this article. It's somehow even funnier that this wasn't a joke headline.
English
Mamdani chooses uber-capitalists Biggie, Nas and Jay-Z among his five favorite rappers. Is it a pivot to center? usatoday.com/story/news/polโฆ

@TempoBasketball But please stop stealing from NY. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@EudaimoniaEsq Or and hear me out ... the dude really likes iced coffee.
English
I maintain that the single most insufferable thing about New Yorkers is that they bewilderingly try to claim everything. This transcends politicsโall New Yorkers do this. Yes, everyone has coffee. Everyone has convenience stores (nicer than your โbodegasโ). Everyone has what you have and itโs usually cleaner and cheaper!

@everymovieplug You realize the video disproves what you've tweeted right?

Spider-sense isnโt reflex, itโs awareness beyond the body.

Trying to get someone cancelled for what they said when they were 15 was pathetic when the Left did it and itโs pathetic when the Right does it.
Thinking itโs ok to do bad things because โthey did it firstโ is the morality of a 4th grader.

@yanab0015 It'd be a 15-20% pay cut for everybody. Not my pick but I get it.
English
@raya4 Yeah that's the fine print in the full CBA.
But given how everything else has trended, ownership probably dropped their requirement that it could only be young/rookie players, salary likely starts at rookie scale otherwise smart teams like NY would use it as an int'l stash.

@mikeaalen112735 Unfortunately, the ummmm stanbase didn't want to hear it in real time. Got personally called this, that, the third and the r-word.
But now they'll feel it.

people are realizing now what a mistake the front office made last year. Trading away a first round pick which was a rookie deal for a player who couldโve started. Donating Smith away for free watching Dallas get a first round pick for her. ๐จ๐จ

@JacobFeldman4 Love it. But no :)
The move will be March-November with a wild sports equinox in November. Can't have regular season WNBA/NBA overlap.
English
I think the ideal WNBA calendar would be mid-February to late August?
From what I've heard the plans currently are to push back the end of season, although other sports are changing their calendars to avoid competing with football...
correlation@nosyone4
if the WNBA is going to expand to 50+ games they need to extend the calendar imo. there are conflicts depending which direction it gets extended, but I think it's best for the league and player health
English
... The WNBA is not only profitable but sitting on Scrooge McDuck levels of cash for this exact moment
Good on the players for not blinking despite what men on the internet said
But man? Maybe they could've gotten more?
- 13-man rosters
- 24/7/365 development
- Unrivaled stake
GIF
English
More math to dig into on the WNBA. Especially
- quickly expanding to 50, then 52 games
- the first salary cap exception in the history of the WNBA for season enders
But it's hard to see everything, the largesse of money being thrown and not think ๐ฌ

@aonethousands Those bonuses did exist last year. Last year, sponsors also chipped in separate to the old CBA.
But it's basically 4x.
Also you forgot her all-star bonus.
English
If these bonuses existed last season, Aโja wouldโve gotten
WNBA Champ ($60,000) + All-W ($30,000) + All-D ($15,000) + MVP ($60,000) + DPOY ($30,000) + FMVP ($30,000) = $225,000
Thats more than her salary last year๐ญ๐ญ time to run it back

WNBA and WNBPA officially announce tentative agreement on a new 7-year CBA. Details:
English
There's a lot more fun stuff here but this jumps out.
REPARATIONS!
A one-time recognition check to ALL WNBA vets & retirees based on years of service.
Given that ~1200 have played, maybe 1000 are retired and maybe 500 played 5+ years โ that's $15M right there. (4/4)
English
@dearicamarie More fine print, winners of the Finals get $60K. My understanding is that it's on top of the $11K merit bonus for winning the Finals.
Lawyers, man. But it makes sense. (3/๐คก)

$11,356 for winning a ring is bargain basement cheap. The MNBA gets $530K for the Cup, $800K+ for a finals win. But this provides a *huge* opportunity for brands to step in. bcc: Ally, YouTube, StateFarm
English
Boom.
Again this is the framework, the players and ownership will vote on it separately. The players will be largely unanimous; same with ownership & board of governors with lolable hold outs.
But there's some new, notable details here. (1/๐คก๐งต)
NBA Communications@NBAPR
The @WNBA and @TheWNBPA announced today that they have reached a tentative agreement on a new CBA, pending ratification by the players and the leagueโs Board of Governors. The new seven-year CBA, which will commence with the 2026 season and run through 2032, represents one of the most transformational labor agreements ever reached in major professional sports.
