For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Own a piece of Minneapolis DJ history (per me anyways). I am selling two controllers, a Pioneer DDJ-1000 RB and Pioneer XDJ-RR, which includes a magna case.
I am original owner on both, non-smoking home. No scratches/damage.
Looking for $1000/each, drop me a line and and let's sort it out!
