Just remove every artificial restriction. Anything short of that leaves them economically exploited.

Minor league baseball has been around for about 150 years. Today the average team attracts about 3,000 fans.
Obviously, the solution is just better marketing and more investment!
As we say in Slaying the Trolls!...
When it comes to sports, men love men!

There is more than one way to win a war.

As I note in my econ history book ('The Last Hero's Lesson') when I discuss the Wizard of Oz, the story is ultimately about the witches (and Glinda ain't no 'good witch!')
Nice to a see a movie that clearly centers the witches in the tale!

Slaying the Trolls! was made available on Amazon this morning!

Nef and I explain...
-why many rankings of athlete should place women first
-how discrimination drives revenue and attendance differences
-the gender wage gap in sports
and much more!

Women are growing their economic, political and social independence. If the result of that is a decrease in birth rates men should that seriously about how that reflects on the systems and structures we have created and continue to assert. A world they are saying “no” to.

Very much like the name Golden State Valkyries.
Will take me some time to learn how to spell 'Valkyries'.
But I like it!

#WNBATipoff in a sold out arena in CT watch two #1 Draft picks. I will never get tired of this energy.

One of our W owners said it best: To everyone who doubted, we told you so. And to everyone who has been here supporting, we’re just getting started.

Welcome to SZN 28!

I can't believe giving food away would be a problem for a restaurant!! That is crazy talk!

My latest for Forbes discusses new data I’ve been working on with SBRnet to examine fan social media engagement and sponsorship influence. Fans of the WNBA are much more engaged than fans of other leagues - sponsors should be flocking to the league!

When I was a kid and my mom (who LOATHES boxing) said 'I think the Sugar Ray Leonard fight is on' I knew Sugar Ray had transcended boxing.

I got the same feeling today when my old man said 'Caitlin Clark is playing tonight'... she is transcendent

As we celebrate the start of what will be an amazing WNBA season, let us not forget -- as I said on WBUR yesterday -- the women are still only paid about 10% of league revenue.
And the men in the MNBA were never, ever paid this poorly.

Good morning.

The WNBA tips off today ☕️🌟
