re: There's a so-called "scandal" going on in the WNBA

If it weren't for this boards obsession with pointing them out, I'd have completely forgotten the WNBA existed long ago.
The only time I ever think about the WNBA is when I'm on the MSB and posters make threads talking about how much they hate and never think about the WNBA.

It also doesn’t help that the WNBA doesn’t have a single player who is marketable. All of their Star players are hideous and have terrible personalities. It’s a league that openly disapproves of attractive women.

If you are flying about 20 people or so chartering can be cost-effective or the same or a little bit more. The issue is what do you want to be chartered in. WNBA teams are not going to be charted in a 737 or old DC-9 think smaller with propellers or mini-jets. I'd wonder how they would react being chartered in a De Havilland.

I wonder what that first generation of players who forged the WNBA to begin with thinks of all these crybabies driving their legacy into the dirt after they worked fairly hard to put it on the map and make it at least semi-viable.
The product was boring but it was about forging the way and improving the league to help drive more attendance and viewership. Its the complete opposite of how these people are acting now.

"I think what charter flights represent in the world of sports is it gives you a little bit of validation," Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird said in February when explaining the importance of the issue. "It's saying that your league is so successful, it has the finances to charter flights, which is incredibly expensive. There's not many businesses that just charter flights left and right. ... So I think for a lot of us, it would just be an indicator of that. It'd be an indicator of financial success."
Fake it till you make it!

This is like a teenager being punished for charging a bunch of shite on a parent's credit card.
Once you make your own $$$ to pay for that shite, fine. But don't be using my money to do it.

I’m not sure what Sue said was wrong. She never openly said they deserved chartered flights. She said it was an indicator of financial success and would validate them as pros. She never said (at least in that quote) that they actually had that financial success

That’s going a long way to give her the benefit of the doubt.
