How can leagues report losses & still have big valuations? How is the WNBA ownership model affecting CBA negotiations? What are fair salaries for W players, and why is revenue share so important? Economics professor @wagesofwins.bsky.social breaks it all down. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
Economics professor and author @wagesofwins.bsky.social discusses why losses or setbacks in men’s sports have almost always been met with more investment, while women’s sports haven’t historically been given the time and money to thrive. Listen to the full ep: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

“In June of 2024, the Washington Post reported the WNBA’s losses had grown to $50 million! Yes, while Bloomberg had reported in 2023 that revenues had doubled from 2019 to 2023, the WNBA/NBA insisted that losses had grown five times!”
David Berri@wagesofwins.bsky.social · last yr.It seems clear the WNBA/NBA has 2 very distinct stories they tell about WNBA profitability. For the investors, the WNBA is amazing. For the players, the WNBA is impoverished. To solve this mystery, I argue we need to think about Scooby-Doo! My latest... wagesofwins.substack.com/p/solving-th...
I have been talking about pay in the WNBA for nearly ten years. It feels like this time, the story has changed. I did three interviews today (two TV interviews, one video podcast) and it seems like so many people now understand how much the WNBA players are NOT being paid what they are owed!
They went from “we listen to science & data” to “we talked with federal officials.” FYI, this doesn’t just affect trans women. “The policy says that nonbinary athletes, transgender men and intersex athletes will also be limited to competing in the men’s category.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.
forbes.com
Pro tip: say no to at least 50% of requests and, whenever you decline, provide the names of two male colleagues who are shirking their share of service. (Gold star for BCCing the dean when you do so.)

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
