This is VERY bad.
A player in massive trade rumors owning part of a prediction market where people can bet on whether he gets traded is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.
This is so far beyond players doing sportsbook ads.

I saw a post on another platform that I can’t stop thinking about it was something like:
Most of us are just trying to earn a living so that we can provide a good life for our children and loved ones. Then we find out that what the people with the absolute most money want is to harm them.

This contextualizes the wailing of mediocre men when a new generation of authors emerged and said this shit was not okay, ever, and we will hold you accountable for it.
There is a woman who never wrote, because she felt unwelcome, and I know she had something important to say. That makes me sad.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Important reminder 👉 "Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019."

Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

Okay, forget the players, I officially need some actual WNBA events to talk/write about. I just looked up whether Lash Legend/Anriel Howard spent more time in the ring at this weekend's Royal Rumble than she did on-court as a WNBA player. This feels like a threshold.
