But you’re free from pronouns in emails now. Small price for such winning.

(Note: the NBL had Black players 8 years earlier, but the Association doesn’t talk about that)

In 2020, yes

FWIW—NHL doesn’t include WHA records

Seriously…his base wouldn’t believe the tapes were real, and the rest of us already hate him. He has nothing to lose 😝

Not sure O’Brien would have risked triggering Cooke by endorsing such chicanery

Remember…free agency wasn’t a thing yet. If PSCs were a workaround of the reserve clause salaries would have gone even higher than they were with the ABA bidding on players

Wilt was game…but Cooke still claimed his rights and wanted a lot in return as compensation

She claimed playing on Doors sessions, but didn’t

Also claimed a lot of Motown work she wasn’t on

Someone did a paper on it, using union records

But no one thinks Carol was trying to steal honor…rather, when you play 1000s of sessions you may mix them up once in a while

So many great records

But not as many as she thinks 😉

But I love Carol…not her fault if she is mixed up sessions, as she’s played on thousands!
