Why do women's basketball players stay in school four years?

You are the king of broad assumptions.

How many women's college basketball players are realistically looking at making $1 million per? I seriously doubt you need more than a hand to count them all.

 

You believe that someone choosing to spend one more year in a college environment, getting her degree and around her best friends, is evidence of a plantation mentality?

I think you need to read up on these "choices" people are allowed to make now.

 

A bunch of mammies? Butterfly McQueen could have made a mint by leaving early.

 

Because only money and slavery-era metaphors are cool.

 

I don't know how many have that opportunity. Or even $500K. I'd be interested in finding out. I know this, though: None of them ever take it.

 

Wow. So let me get this straight. They guys can stick around and get their college degrees. But the women need to just leave and grab a measly (compared to the men's salaries) $1 million dollars and you think they are set for life?

If you ask me, it is way more important for the females to get a degree than it is the males. Because without one, we are at the mercy of asshole men taking care of us for life.

 

WNBA players may like 40,000 a year, tops. Why WOULD they leave school?

 

I think that a lengthy pattern of participants in this particular sport, given this opportunity and turning it down at a rate that far exceeds what one would expect from rational decision-makers, is evidence of a plantation mentality.

 

It's not $1 million for one year, a one-shot deal. It's $1 million a year probably for 5-10 years.

Also: Do you really think that Brittney Griner is going to have difficulty finding gainful employment after her career, with or without a college degree?

 

It's not that fucking hard to fact-check before talking out of your ass, Skip Bayless.

So this contract is take-it-or-leave-it right now? She can't get a 5- or 10-year deal in the spring of 2013?

Math fail.

 

You have reached new levels of low, here, Dick. And on the same day that you posted kids should be pushed out of the nest at age 20.
