    Revenue is irrelevant.

    I can make billions by selling trillions worth of product for 25% of cost. That’s a very sad way to get to revenue. WNBA has an unequal share of NBA revenue. A VERY unequal share. It’s like giving the kids half the household income because they clean the kitchen.

    But I do dictate what my own posts say. And you didn't address what was said in the post of mine that you quoted.

    On what planet is revenue irrelevant for business? What business, anywhere in the world, thinks that revenue is irrelevant?

    Or you can just try cutting costs so that they don't exceed 10s of millions in revenue. The players aren't the problem here.

    1) No one said they brought in as much as the NBA and 2) It doesn't even remotely mater.

    If my kids were bringing in tens of millions of revenue, I'd give them a generous allowance. But unless your kids are, then you know that your example isn't honest.

    Revenue is 100% irrelevant. For the confused, if earning $100 cost you $10,000, your revenue is poop.

    The viable number is PROFIT, which is cost minus revenue.

    If profit matters . . . and profit is revenue minus costs . . . then revenue matters. Think. To claim that revenue is 100% irrelevant while claiming that profit matters is self-contradictory.

    You mentioned how much income they generate. How much income OVER expenses, including subsidies?

    It is completely irrelevant without context.

    No he flunks. There are two marines that are held captive in Russia.

    The Brighton's wasting his time freezing some sports ball play in jackass that nobody knew about until she was arrested in Russia.

    I'm betting this doofus is the most recognized person in the WNBA not because she played basketball but because she's arrested in Russia.

    Lol. People are more interested in hurting and arrested in Russia than they are and watching her play basketball.

    But f*** those Marines that actually served our country let's save the most person cuz it's good pr

    When Biden is being inaugurated on January 20, 2025 please send me a photo of your head exploding.

    Or better wait for Kamala's first in 2029 or second in 2033. Maybe AOC in 2037 or 2041

    I'd say we might get another Republican President by 2045 but who know what Dems will be around by then.

    Re-electing an imbecile is not something that you should be proud of.

    I don't think we've ever elected a senile president before I may be wrong.

    Please show your medical evidence that Biden is as senile as Trump.

    Agreed. Those who worship at the alter of Trump will always believe he’s a stable genius who knows more than the generals with the best words, or something. Covfefe!

    Yes everyone that disagrees with you and some sort of cult member.

    Perhaps we're the Illuminati or lizard people.

    I corrected the one word that we utterly destroyed your capacity to understand English.

    I'm sorry your grasp on the language is so fragile that one single missing apostrophe will send you into a downward spiral of illiteracy.

    I don't have trouble with errors people make in typing but then again I'm not trying to avoid anything.

    The truth is Biden routinely forgets who he is where he is what year it is who the people are around him who is alive and who isn't.

    I don't think I saw Donald Trump make any of those mistakes. If you could point them out to me maybe you'll change my mind.

    You didn’t see them because you didn’t want to. The man was a walking gaff machine. Both of our past two presidents are way past their prime and should have been put in homes years ago.

    What other marine?
    Whalen is one ex-Marine
    He's a disgrace to the Marines.

    Court Martial
    Convicted felonies
    Bad Conduct discharge.

    The following are consequences of receiving a BCD:
    • Forfeit their pay,
    • Lose rank,
    • Loss of military benefits,
    • Not recognized by the federal government as a veteran,
    • Barred from owning fire arms (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)), and
    • Must be disclosed if asked when applying for a job.
    There is the possibility of receiving some VA medical benefits, but they have to be petitioned for and the matter reviewed by officials at the VA.
