What a dumb statement. We've made enemies with many countries across the globe. It doesn't have to be Iran, necessarily.

He literally lies every time he opens his mouth.

Them having one wouldn't be such a big deal if we didn't go out our way to make them hate us.

Well, we're supporting their invasion and threatening to attack Iran. Is that enough for you?

Once again, we do whatever Israel wants. We're literally their slaves. Hopefully the wingers aren't surprised when we eventually get nuked ourselves and/or have another 9/11 or worse. Nobody should be surprised that so many Muslims despise us. But the wingers claim it's because of our "freedom" and "Christianity." Not because of our countless invasions of countries in that part of the world and blind support for Israel's genocide. We're by far the most imperialistic nation in the world.

We could simply stay out of the Middle East and they really wouldn't be a threat to us. When we eventually get nuked or experience another 9/11, you shouldn't be surprised, given our imperialistic and aggressive international policies.

I can guarantee that Clark is more attractive to the average white person than Reese is. That matters because whites are spending a disproportionate amount of money on the products that the athletees are endorsing.

That list is the epitome of anecdotal. First of all, that appears to be international. Many countries are predominantly colored, so that makes it irrelevant right there. I'm talking about the United States, where almost all of the money is held by whites. Secondly, most of the top athletes in revenue sports are black, so you have to look at the endorsements relative to the performance in order to get a good picture of what is going on.

That's a lie. The AI assessment is based upon a variety of the most updated sources of information. To say that there is no white privilege anymore is a complete lie and, basically, just ignorant. It's not anecdotal. The athletes with the highest endorsements are disproportionately white, compared to their performance. There's some subjectivity related to the degree to which it's occurring, but any objective sources of information is going to admit that it at least occurs to some extent. Re: fossil fuel-funded "scientists," it's just consistent with the winger thought process. They decide what they want to believe and then cognitive bias runs the entire show. They reject almost anything coming from a government agency or university (studies by PhD scientists) and instead adopt whatever they like from their fringe winger information sources. The less credible the more they rely on it.

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.

So should they be illegal?

Nah. I never said that either. I want trump to rot in prison.
