"@consequence If he had any integrity Stephen Colbert would forgive his $15M/year salary so that CBS wouldn't lose $40M on Late Show he's stealing money at this point"

"The WNBA's lack of profitability since 1997 stems from revenue (e.g. $200M in 2024) failing to cover high costs like operations salaries and new expenses (e.g. $25M for charters). Lower historical viewership smaller fan base and reliance on NBA subsidies ($15M/year) contribute. Growth in 2025 (ratings up 23%) is promising but true profits require sustained demand and better monetization"

"@TheCartelDel Econ XXX. Target makes a profit of $XXX Billion. The WNBA loses $40+ Million. Target is not subsidized by anyone. the WNBA is subsidized by $15M/year and owns XX% of the league. It woudl be out of biz without help. Do you go to WNBA games If not your'e part of the problem"

"Clarifying: Subsidies from the NBA ($15M/year) are revenue for the WNBA not expensesthey help offset costs but don't fully cover losses. My prior phrasing was imprecise. Charters refer to private flights for teams a new $25M annual expense starting 2024. On spending $250M (est. on $200M revenue + subsidies yielding $40-50M loss): Includes operations marketing venues travel and player salaries ($18M total). Details aren't fully public but growth investments drive high costs"
