$500 dollars is a lot of money to some of these gals.

Maybe contract says they cannot wear other shirts and if they do, they get fined?

Bad move to fine them. The NBA didn't fine any of the male players when they wore their I Can't Breathe shirts instead of warmups and those shirts were more controversial than these. I'm confused as to why the league wants to take a stance on uniform violations now.

Great Points

Makes sense but it still sends the message to the women that they are second class citizens in the eyes of their employer. The NBA runs the WNBA so while they may be trying to be politically correct and fine the women they still show a double standard. A stern warning to adhere to the uniform policy without a fine would have worked great and after the warning let the fines come into play for future violations.

 

Seems like that would be fairly apparent just based on their check stubs.

Agreed. And now to add a insult to injury they are going to fine them for following the lead of their male peers/coworkers.

Based on what?

Based on what?

 

Based on the fact that they are paid pennies on the dollar compared to the NBA.

It's in another thread, but the NBA just announced that Charlotte has lost the 2017 All Star Game based on discriminatory legislation.

Based on the fact that they are paid pennies on the dollar compared to the NBA.

 

That's exactly what I meant.

I do realize that. But, are you suggesting that they be paid what NBA players are paid?

Are you suggesting they be paid the same as NBA players?

Not in the least.

BLM doesn't call for the assassination of police, but keep telling yourself that to dismiss the message you don't want to hear.

 

Pigs in a blanket. Shouted loudly on the streets and was caught on tape.

Do you have a problem with the tactics BLM uses often (blocking intersections, stop lights, highways) ?
