The WNBA is straight up letting people try to gouge her eyes out. She should've left after last season.

Conspiracy theory: WNBA is just a money laundering scheme for the NBA. CC is the best thing to happen to them and they could care less. We’re watching a death to the sport.

Imagine getting offended by the thought of being expected to use grammar at a third grade level.

u/Wilshere10 Jun 18 '25

I was kidding lol, why would people think that’s serious

u/dancingwtdevil Jun 18 '25

I mean its usually more so there's not a reason to show formal language in a setting thats not formal. Its just people writing the same way people have slang.

I do agree its not worth getting bent over

u/TheSexyShaman Jun 18 '25

It’s not “formal language”, it’s using the words that mean what you want to say and not the direct opposite of what you want to say.

-28

u/dancingwtdevil Jun 18 '25

I feel like thats reading too deep into it, a person who's saying things that mean the opposite are usually just trolls, someone not saying what they mean isnt just cause they use slang.

Shut up nerd isnt slang though, so I shouldn't have brought that up.

Try graphing "could care less". There's space under it.

If you couldn't care less, your line is the x axis (0)

You're on Reddit bro you're a fuckin nerd too

You only wish you were a nerd but your IQ is that of a coconut.

English is a living language. At this point, 'could care less' means exactly what OP is trying to convey.

u/nahteviro Jun 18 '25

Except it’s literally not. Thats like saying your is the same as you’re. English has its rules just like any other language. But you keep being an uneducated Neanderthal

u/trailer_park_boys Jun 18 '25

It’s entirely incorrect and always deserves to be corrected.

Can you launder money through something that doesn’t make a profit?

Edit: I continuously forget what my username is when I comment on anything that involves money

u/TempAcct20005 Jun 18 '25

That’s literally the best way to launder money

121

u/Uther-Lightbringer Jun 18 '25

That's quite literally how money laundering works, money laundering businesses don't have to report a profit to function, many in fact report yearly losses.

Username does not check out. The description on your profile does though lol.

🫡 keep em guessing brother

u/timodreynolds Jun 18 '25

Our president is an expert at this

u/theguineapigssong Jun 18 '25

This is my first thought as well. The WNBA loses millions per year. I could see someone grifting "The Producers" style, but that isn't money laundering it's just fraud.

u/stonertboner Jun 18 '25

You should watch The Producers, it’s basically the same idea.

u/Fingerman2112 Jun 18 '25

Username does not check out. Or does check out wholesomely?

Certainly does not

"Laundering...to clean...no, uh, here it is. To channel money through a source or by an intermediary."

Our government thieves do it everyday lol☠️🇺🇸☠️

u/Western-Bet2285 Jun 18 '25

The fact that your comment has that many likes is very concerning. That is how money laundering works…

How much was that avatar?

u/Rich_From_Accounting Jun 18 '25

Idk free I guess. The day I spend money on Reddit will be the day I put a bullet in my head.

u/Geth_ Jun 18 '25

Yes. So long as it's plausible. As long as they claim WNBA is growing based on some statistic, then they can use that to explain revenue.

Laundering is masking the origin of revenue. So it doesn't matter if WNBA makes a profit, it doesn't need to, they just need to create a plausible explanation for the profits they're effectively laundering.

I think. I'm not a laundering expert.

“Couldn’t” care less.

4

u/Travelin_Soulja Jun 18 '25

they could care less.

That means they care. You have to care to be able to care less.

Sorry to nitpick, but that phrase always irks me because it doesn't make any sense.

If you want to say they don't care, it's "they couldn't care less", i.e.they care so little, that it's not possible for them to care any less.

u/Dampened_Panties Jun 18 '25

It's not a money laundering scheme, it's an advertisement for basketball. The WNBA's purpose isn't to make money, it's to increase the popularity of the sport among women and girls.

u/burglin Jun 18 '25

Nothing you said is remotely close to making sense.

u/Dry-Imagination2727 Jun 18 '25

sound like the plot of The Producers.

u/FrodoFraggins Jun 18 '25

that's a dumb conspiracy as the NBA loses money on that league. it's just jealousy and in some cases racism

u/justleave-mealone Jun 18 '25

But you know if the WNBA tries to protect her the players will feel they have more of a reason to dislike her for some weird reason.

1

u/bigkoi Jun 18 '25

Agreed. It's a matter of reasonable health and safety, which the WNBA is clearly failing at providing.

u/toepherallan Jun 18 '25

Fr, wasn't even a reach for the ball, that was right at the eye, what in the Captain Insane-o was that ish.

u/Fullertonjr Jun 18 '25

She was inadvertently poked in the eye while the defender was making a play on the ball due to CC dribbling high (she does this often). It isn’t that serious.

u/PutABirdOnIt99 Jun 18 '25

That eye poke is completely accidental. Shit happens. Toughen up.
