Being elected doesn't give anybody the power to do whatever they want. WOW, that you think it does. Scary. But only if they're Republican, right?

Yah. The AI must be rigged. I'm sure that's the common winger answer. All more reputable sources of info are against the wingers and the only real truth is found in the fringe winger sources like Breitbart, the Blaze and Fox News. Oh...and "scientists" that are funded by the fossil fuel industry.

Here's a simple AI answer. Not tough to look up. Racial disparities exist in athlete endorsement pay, with Black athletes, particularly Black women, often earning less than their white counterparts despite comparable or even superior athletic performance. This disparity is influenced by factors like media representation, brand perceptions, and historical biases, leading to fewer endorsement opportunities and lower valuations for Black athletes. Here's a more detailed look: 1. Limited Opportunities: Media Coverage: White athletes, particularly white women, often receive more media attention and are portrayed in ways that align with traditional beauty standards, making them more appealing to advertisers, according to some sports journalists. Brand Image: Companies may be hesitant to endorse athletes who don't fit their desired image or who might be perceived as controversial, even if those athletes are successful. Stereotyping and Bias: Athletes of color, especially Black women, may face negative stereotypes and biased perceptions that limit their endorsement potential, according to some sports analysts. 2. Lower Endorsement Values: Racial Bias in Valuations: Even when Black athletes secure endorsements, they may receive lower payouts or less favorable terms compared to their white counterparts. Historical Disadvantage: The legacy of racial inequality in sports, including limited access to training, resources, and opportunities, contributes to the current disparities in endorsement pay. 3. Examples and Insights: NIL Deals: While NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals have opened new avenues for college athletes to earn money, data from Opendorse indicates that Black athletes, particularly Black women, still receive a smaller percentage of the total compensation compared to their representation in college sports. Paige Bueckers' Perspective: Even a high-profile white athlete like Paige Bueckers acknowledges the disparity, stating that Black women athletes deserve more media coverage and recognition for their contributions to sports. Hispanic Athletes: Studies have shown that Hispanic athletes may also experience a significant reduction in endorsement earnings compared to their white and Black counterparts. 4. Addressing the Disparities: Challenging Biases: Sports organizations and brands need to actively challenge racial biases and stereotypes in media representation, marketing, and endorsement deals. Promoting Diversity and Inclusion: Companies should prioritize diversity and inclusion in their endorsement strategies, ensuring that athletes of all backgrounds have equal opportunities. Empowering Athletes: Athletes of color can empower themselves by forming their own businesses, advocating for social justice, and leveraging their platforms to create positive change. Media Responsibility: Media outlets have a crucial role to play in promoting diverse athletes, challenging harmful stereotypes, and giving equal coverage to athletes of all backgrounds, says a sports media analyst. By addressing these issues, the sports industry can move towards a more equitable and inclusive environment where athletes are valued and compensated fairly, regardless of their race or gender.

Constantly violating checks and balances required per Constitution. That is why the courts have ordered him to reverse so many of his dictatorial executive orders. You can Google all of these orders; no need to regurgitate them here for you.

I believe the pneumonia was caused the staph (which is a bacteria) and it's so bad that it ate away at his lungs and that's why he needs the transplant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_pneumonia#:~:text=Necrotizing pneumonia (NP)%2C also,gangrene formation in the lung.

We'll see how much they want that when inflation skyrockets as a result of having to pay American workers to pick lettuce and do other jobs that Americans don't typically want to do. That will change opinion in a hurry.

You obviously have trouble with reading comprehension. She'd be getting $0 in endorsements if she wasn't a great basketball player. However, her looks, including being white, significantly increase her income above what she'd otherwise get if she wasn't young and attractive. Being white also helps with that. Not fair, but that's reality. Yes, she makes extra money because she's white. I made it very clear that her basketball abilities are an important part of her income. This shouldn't be a difficult concept. It's funny how wingers only see black and white. It's either 100% or 0%. You need to wake up to the real world, where multiple factors often influence outcomes. It's obvious to almost everybody that attractiveness is a big factor in endorsements. How many ugly people do you see in TV commercials? Don't be dumb.

No, I agree she doesn't look like Olivia Dunne. I'm simply making a point that looks are a huge part of endorsements, especially for young women. She's above-average looks for a woman in her mid-20s and that's huge when you're also the best basketball player in the world (I assume she's up there if she isn't). I think her endorsements are probably MUCH more than they'd otherwise be, based upon her looks. On the opposite end of the spectrum, what would her endorsements be if she were ugly? Hard to say exactly, but I'm thinking less than $1M instead of about $11M. Comparing her looks to Olivia Dunne is also not apples and oranges. Clark is playing a much more popular sport with women that have different body types from gymnasts. I guess a simple way to put it is that the bar is different for good looks to be able to help you bring in money.

I think that's part of it. Still would have been popular if she were black (she is an incredible player) but being a white, young and attractive female brings in extra money, especially endorsements. That's just reality. Look at thst Olivia Dunn gymnast from LSU as example A1. Btw, attractive men also have an advantage in business, albeit smaller.
-
She's laughing all the way to the bank w endorsements that she wouldn't come close to getting if she were black. Made $11 million in endorsements in 2024 alone. Only 1% of her income is directly from wnba.

Once again, as always, the wingers are making the whites out to be the victims.

Gotta be the biggest moron ever to think he's liberal. An evangelical that targeted abortion clinics and democrats for execution. Must have been per Jesus Christ's instructions. -
Any minor violence at protests are gonna get reported and exaggerated by Fix News, mainstream media news A1.

red viking replied to uncle bernard's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Trump is the one that started this civil war by instigating the Jan 6 riots and then telling the rioters " I love you" and pardoning them all after they injured several police officers, damaged property and took over our most sacred building. Nobody should try to kill a politician (it's wrong) either way, but yah not quite as much vigor for Trump. -
Why do the wingers hate masks so much?

This guy makes me sick to my stomach. Glad they caught him. Let him rot in prison, and then in hell!!!! Let him be the example for other sick wingers looking to murder people based solely on their politics. -
That looks pathetic. Almost nobody's there. Looks like there were more people at my local no kings rally. Wow.

The evangelicals are the most dangerous and radical people in our society. They should ALL be on the terrorist watch list. -

He's obviously another insane winger trying to kill people based solely on their politics. These reptiles are truly unglued. -
I'll burn that thing in a second, only because Trump thinks it should get a 1 yr jail sentence. The Constitution matters to me.

The Anti-War President strikes again!
red viking replied to VakAttack's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
They mainly hate us because we militarily support and fund Israel's illegal actions. We will learn the hard way that we should have never stuck our nose in that part of the world. Eventually we will get nuked ourselves.
