WNBA--'We Now Buy Ads?' --An Easy Solution

"Eye Close Up" by Herr D, with inkpen. Looking closely at an issue.-Shelob

 

Do you have topic chosen?

Yes. WNBA. You are in favor of women's sports.

Yes, but--You are in favor of transgender athletes?

I'm not sure I should get a vote, but--Please explain.

Hhhhh. I'm not transgender, I'm not a woman, I don't play sports, and I didn't feel comfortable as a GUY in a locker room with other guys in an era that any guy even looked at another too long he might get beaten. Hospitalized. So, if women feel uncomfortable with someone, maybe take them seriously? I'm not gonna tell them what to DO, though. I have too much respect for them to think it should come from me. I have nothing to contribute to that conversation anyway? And if it was your daughter on the team?

Hhhhhhhh. 3 options: 1. She gets comfortable with it, and I help her get counseling if she needs it.

2. She quietly quits, and I console her for losing an activity and try to help her find a substitute if she wants my help--which she probably won't. 

3. I help her figure out which persons to talk to to request an accommodation. No protest?

If she wants to protest, then either the whole team (besides maybe the individual it's about) is with her or they aren't.  If the whole team is with her, then the team refuses to play with the individual.  If she's not acting with the team, she's protesting on her own. Some teams aren't FOR everyone. If you can't agree on something so basic and intrinsic with your team as who is ON your team, then you aren't a team player.  It's a TEAM sport. Please define accommodation.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhh. Screens to block views. Female security guards. Separate locker rooms. Opening mouth each time and saying, "I'll be right out; can you go in after me?" I don't know, anything that would make my daughter comfortable. And comparative performance issues?

Let the opposing teams protest that. AS TEAMS. No one else should say anything. Now can I PLEASE talk about something else? New topic?

No. [.00285993 second pause] Go ahead.

Thank you! I've noticed online AND in person a lot of people talking about how the WNBA isn't making a lot of money. That people hate the ads. That they're funded by the NBA, that they can't fill stadiums, that they aren't paid as much--I DO have a very practical solution that SHOULD be explored. That is?

High school gyms. If the event can't fill a stadium, a stadium is the WRONG PLACE. Please explain? Do you have a plan?

I'm sure that if the tickets were, say, two-thirds as much, then the players and referees and security etc.  could be paid the same. And parking and shuttles could be rented at a fraction of the cost it would take to rent the stadium. 90% of the profit not earmarked to shareholders, what have you, could GO TO THE SCHOOL. 

That would DEFINITELY help the WNBA's image. If they paid for my daughter's new high school gym? I'd interview a player on this blog. If they doubled the size of her high school library and paid the salary of a few non-putz administrators, I might buy my daughter tickets to all their games at our school. Would you go?

I'd rather pay my wife's ticket. She likes sports a lot more than I do. I'm into art. Thank you.

We'll Figure Out Who Did It

"He Came In Like A Wrecking Ball" by Herr D on Paint3d.

[excerpted from chat]

You realize why he put up the fences, right? Around the Kennedy Center?

Yeah.

[.000003 second pause] No, why?

So he can snow someone into demolishing the place, thinking no one will know who they are. So they won't be sued. We'll figure out who did it. Ah.

Not A Grant Rant, But A Diabribe

 

"Money Against Truth" by Herr D on Paint3d. A bribe accepted is the shameful acceptable.-Shelob

Please explain your mood--this is rage?

[startle reaction] n-no. This is righteous indignation. GOP wants to BRIBE US!? $5000.00 per adult voter if both the Senate and House go Republican.

They've cost me a LOT more than THAT! They've cost me more than that in just the past two YEARS. They cost me between eighty and ninety thousand in the past sixteen. Up to around hundred and ten thousand since the year 2002--

IT'S A BAD DEAL. So the money isn't good?

Well, not if TRUMP promises it! He's promised a LOT more than he has ever delivered. But that's not the worst part! What is the worst part?

A lot of people are so bad off that they won't realize how bad a deal this is. On top of that, a lot of people will forget what a bribe MEANS. A bribe is a unit, usually money, given to someone to do something they would not do otherwise, usually something shameful or criminal.

EXACTLY. Even Trump's GOP is implying it is shameful or criminal to vote for them. Noted. Thank you.

Hang In There, People! We're Not Done Yet.

 

"Headcut" by Herr D on Paint3d. Much truth found in thinking nothing like those in charge.-Shelob

You are not blogging about the signs intended to debunk the Smithsonian?

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

Most people who are actually smart enough to appreciate the Smithsonian are smart enough to know not to trust politicians, influencers, etc. You are not blogging about the Great Lakes name change attempt? 

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

Most people are going to call Lake Ontario 'Lake Ontario' out of habit even if they WANT to change their ways. The clowndog will just sound more stupid about more stuff. You are not blogging about the Strait of Hormuz name change attempt?

No, I'm not worried. Why not?

If they name it after OUR president, they'll call it the Crooked Strait. Same thing, really. Habits will win over stupidity. You are not blogging about Hegseth reducing our military leadership?

He IS a reduction of leadership. Hogspit IS a reduction of common sense, sobriety, intelligence, skill potential, and more than I could name. Even Tillis called him 'inept.' The Tillis that confirmed him?

Yeah--but it's kind of an insult to the more capable inept people. What will you blog on?

Everyone please take some time to check yourself. Our military aren't the only ones that need mental health. And our president is making everyone less sane by the day. Thank you. This PSA brought to you by Herr D.
