And who was the most popular player in the league by far? Who generated legitimate public interest, ratings, and attendance?
A straight white woman. Whom they targeted with physical violence and widespread disdain for the entire season.
Is there a more despised demographic in America than black women? I feel like the only people who like black women are leftist white women.
The mere appearance of a black female protagonist is enough to sink any video game at this point.
I read that as $200m/year, not $200m/11 years.
That said, the top NBA players make a significant chunk of that. Individually. Even 10 years ago back when I followed it they were signing $30-$40million/year deals.
