The WNBA is likely going to lose since both baseball teams both play nationwide and have been using "The W" in commercial business.

Surely there will be some kind pf financial agreement when the dust settles

In 2 years I fully expect to see hundreds of posts complaining about this, so I'm going to share this information with you now. I have been fortunate enough to attend many Olympic Games over the past few decades. My friends attended MilanoCortina26 with me earlier this year and they were shocked to learn that you couldn't hear any broadcast commentators during the events, inside the venues. For example, watching figure skating my friend was fully expecting to hear some in-venue commentary on the types of jumps the figure skater was performing. Nope, zero commentary. We heard the skaters music and that's it.

So, for those of you who think you're going to hear some NBC commentator talking during say Athletics or Rowing or Fencing you don't hear shit.

LATE EDIT: Many events won't show replays!!!

Enjoy the Games!

Coach White finally makes a statement that wasn't prepared by some PR intern. She's clearly pissed with the narratives coming from bad faith actors trying to weaponize the WNBA and its players. At the same time, Fever fans continue to call for White's immediate firing because she doesn't represent and defend the toxic culture they so desperately want from weaponizing the players and the team. And yes, I am stating that this subset of toxic behavior absolutely started with all the new W fans who followed Caitlin Clark into the league. Quite literally none of these narratives existed before she joined the league. All the good she's done for the league is being overshadowed by all the hate and toxicity from her fanbase.

Looking for a few recommendations for sit-down restaurants or street food that are must-eats in Chiang Mai OUTSIDE of Old City. Cost not an issue.

I've already got B Sam Cook on my radar.

TIA for your recommendations!

I know Patagonia's Capilene Cool shirts are an option and I've got a local store, but before I run out and buy some tees I was hoping for other recommendations at a similar or cheaper price point.

For background context this will be worn all throughout South America and Southeast Asia and so I'll be dealing with temperatures as high as 100F and humidity above 90% in some areas. Will have access to washing clothes regularly, but the less frequently I have to wash things the better (so, odor control would be nice)

Budget: $50USD or cheaper per shirt
Activity Types: Daily walking, hiking, water activities
Features: UV Protection, Odor control

Not going to lie. Definitely didn't see this one coming. I have always felt like she was grossly underrated.

As usual in other close games this season Clark was subbed out in the final minute of the 4th quarter a couple times in favor of Lexie Hull because Hull is a better defender.

Looking for 4 or 5 star hotel recommendations either along the Riverfront or in Old City in Chiang Mai for a few days in early January. Budget is negotiable but ~3500THB/night

Will be my first time visiting this city.

TIA for your suggestions.
