Acting like athletes or people with a platform do not have a moral obligation to speak out on basic human rights is so fundamentally flawed. I just don't buy it, or the way things are branded as "politics" like these are inconsequential issues where you can pick a side, cheer, and say GGs afterward.

Hey Steve, The problem is that these blithering idiots have a platform and are using it to spread misinformation, hate, and intolerance. The formula to "win" is simple: don't do that! It's not that hard. Please consider taking your right-wing dogwhistles to FOX or your own microblog. Regards, -T
Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
A challenge for all you click-thirsty folks amplifying utterly unverifiable rumors that Phee is unhappy in Minnesota. Explain *why* she would be unhappy. Describe a better situation for her than what she has now. Or concede that you are a useful idiot for other people's agendas.
See this is the problem with AI, it will kill youthful creative endeavors like this
Oh my god I think I found the video.
I am in the middle of either a massive breakthrough or breakdown, jury is out on that one
We see here, in order, the MVP, the OPOY, and the ROY + MVP
Hardest video in Minnesota sports history
I'm not sure how we can sit in the aftermath of the best and most engaging USMNT performance at a World Cup - ever - and claim that dual nationals are somehow LESS likely to want to play for a top class manager in Poch and the USA
"THE POCH REHIRE IS BAD NEWS FOR DIEGO LUNA, YUNUS MUSAH, AND ANY DUAL NATIONALS" 👀 @herculezg.bsky.social on the winners and losers from yesterday's breaking news 🇺🇸
Looks like I get a little USMNT in October as a treat
USMNT fall schedule announced: Sept. 26 vs Peru in Orlando Sept. 29 vs Chile in St. Louis Oct. 3 vs Mexico in Glendale/Phoenix Oct. 6 vs Canada in St. Paul (Euro teams unavailable) Nations League 2-leg quarterfinals, Nov. 9-17 window, tbd
I see Aaron Rodgers decided he hadn't had enough headlines about him lately
This was so specifically geared towards me it hurts
I know we are in the yearly sports hell period because the Sportscenter Top 10 is just baseball highlights and Jaylen Brown jumping out of a plane
I'm surprised that he's willing to stay, but this is a no-brainer from the USSF. USMNT has never looked this crisp and motivated in their history, and Poch can be thanked for that. Now we just need the player pool to develop some talent.
Mauricio Pochettino will return as USMNT head coach after agreeing to a new contract with U.S. Soccer, the federation announced Monday. The deal runs through the 2030 World Cup. nyti.ms/453t0xY

Time for some more hell yeahs in the chat
[Schneidman] Zach Tom legally changed his name to Zach Bako-Bewele, a combination of his grandparents’ Nigerian last names. “Especially when I start having kids, I want to have a name that I can pass down where it represents where they came from, where I came from.” twitter.com/mattschneidm...
Like, not a single clip of Kelsey Mitchell on a 37-point night. Not Aliyah Boston who was teasing a triple-double. Just Clark and Cunningham

During the ESPN exit video package of the game, they decided to choose Cunningham celebrating her only made shot as one of the 5 videos 🤡
Sophie Terfingham final stats: 23 MIN 3 PTS 1-2 FG 1 REB 2 AST 1 Chris Paul hits a Huge Three to cut the Lead to 42 1 Meaningless and arrogant celebration 1 L
Courtney Williams, man. The fucking truth.

Game 31 - “I have seen God, she walks among us”
Olivia Miles rookie year through 27 games Game 1 - "Ooo that's a cool/fun highlight mix" Game 5 - "This is the obvious ROY" Game 10 - "She is gonna win an MVP someday" Game 20 - "She might win the MVP this year" Game 27 - "This is the best basketball player I have ever seen"
Asked Cheryl Reeve about the anti-trans demonstrations taking place outside of WNBA arenas. Per usual, she was thoughtful as can be. Part 1/2
I am sick of this ghoul getting a legitimized platform. I hope Lynx fans bring the heat on Sunday. Shame on the WNBA for allowing this (and so many other things) to go on for this long and to this extent.
Speaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn
I'm not sure I'm happy with where I'm at in life, not sure I have many to blame beyond myself, and I'm not sure what to do with that
Winner's been declared but god dammit they're still trying
pleased to announce the Winner of Bluesky
really not understanding why i should pay federal income taxes at this point
This is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
