Berube? Same guy who called Peter Worrell a "monkey" back in the day?Berube: Racist comments to Kadri unacceptable
Blues coach Craig Berube said there is "no room" anywhere for the racist comments and threats directed toward Colorado's Nazem Kadri and that they are "in no way acceptable."www.espn.com

I think that's the case across the board in most sports. There are certain players whose "clean cut" image makes it easier for them to be marketable. For example, JR smith wasn't getting any endorsements with his antics while in a Knicks uniform. Man posted and deleted a pic of Tahiry and got hit with a fine. That's not someone who you would deem as "marketable" to a "family" audience. Whereas you might look at Early Chris Paul/Durant and Steph and they appear to be more marketable.
Yeah, combat sports is a "gruesome" sport, so they ain't looking to sell granny or the kids anything.Yeah thats how it is for the most part in all the Corporate sports which are basically the mainstream sports. The only exceptions would be in niche sports like combat sports with the Conor Mcgregors, Floyd Mayweathers etc.

I could see how that is frustrating.
I see in the NBA threads how Diane T or Sue Bird get more of a “push” then some female black athletes.
Besides women’s tennis, is there a sport that really puts butts in seats? The pay ceiling seems higher in tennis than in WNBA.
I was just talking America. My myopic view is based on things here and popular sports here. I don’t really keep up with Foot Ball, Volley Ball, etc globally.Are you talking about in America or Globally? Women's volleyball does in a few leagues around the world and the pay is def on par with the men if not a bit more. Volleyball is the only women's team sport it seems tho as the rest of female athletes that do well financially tend to all be in individual sports

I’m not trying to be funny. But the three NCAA players you mentioned are white. There aren’t any great black female basketball players whom also have NIL deals?

ChuckModi @ChuckModi1 Chris Evert is as bad at calling game for Coco Gauff as she is Serena. Coco makes great shot. Silence. Coco makes mistake. She dwells on it. This is not hypersensitivity. This can be quantified across the whole match. -
