I wrote about how angry I feel watching people write columns about trans women in sports.

Just call me a man already and get it over with

I'm angry. I hate writing when I'm angry. I think it makes me too emotional, too attached to copy and most importantly makes my brain move too fast having ideas pop up and die before I can even get t...

In 1994, Byron de la Beckwith was finally convicted of murder for killing Medgar Evers in 1963. He died in prison, his story is over. But history repeats itself. @socialistdogmom.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

Turning Point USA aligning themselves with Cunningham should answer any lingering questions abt the impact of her statements & the groups who are rallying behind her. Somehow, I still don't think people will wake up to the reality bc transphobia is still an acceptable form of bigotry to most people.

The Cunningham piece and the Briles piece both dropping today show the problem with access in (sports) journalism. The problem isn't that either person was interviewed. It's that journalists them didn't press them hard at all, on anything. Which is why they were allowed to ask questions.

I've been thinking about what bothers me about all the puff pieces about Cunningham, and other than the obvious, I'm really stuck on why there's a need to platform someone who already has a popular podcast. she has a way to reach her people.

Are you aware of CAT YURTS catyurts.com

Can the media stop treating Jen Sey and her merry band of anti trans crusaders with kids gloves?

It’s wild how these athletes and their hate advocacy groups love to have the idea of wanting a discussion but the second they get any pushback it’s about censorship not that the fact they are wrong.

EXCLUSIVE: "People are like, 'You have a platform. Use it,' and then once you use it, it's like, 'Go back to playing basketball.'” "We can be a great example of how to do both." Sophie Cunningham talks the ongoing WNBA discourse around trans athletes:

i’m not sure whether normies and non-sports fans understand the extent to which right-wing weirdos are waging their culture war through the WNBA right now

The San Jose Earthquakes have hired former Thorns president Gavin Wilkinson. He was fired in 2022 after the Yates Report found failures in his handling of abuse involving former Thorns coach Paul Riley. Bay FC—who shares facilities with the Earthquakes—issued a statement denouncing the hiring.

Has anyone explained to the league or teams that XX-XY Athletics is a hate group? If they wouldn’t allow swastikas or Proud Boys to promote their views at a game, they shouldn’t allow this group’s messaging either.

Reports have emerged of fans allegedly being asked to cover XX-XY Athletics shirts at last night’s Fever vs. Dream game. A WNBA spokesperson shared with USA TODAY the below statement. Story to come.

Hark! An excerpt from the FINDING RENÉE RICHARDS audiobook!

given what we know about jordan angeli she should not be allowed to continue commentating on nwsl games, let alone games featuring players she's potentially bigoted towards

I interviewed Brennan Suen from @mmfa.bsky.social about how right-wing media is using Sophie Cunningham's anti-trans comments to stoke their culture war, & how mainstream media can avoid letting Fox News shape the narrative around trans athletes.

So, can we get Cameroon at SheBa, since we're about preparing our NT to face different WC teams? I will also take Malawi.

Not every Charlottesville Nazi has found a way to stop suffering. Here are a few stories still ongoing. Brandon Higgs never made it to Charlottesville. He shouted racist slurs at some Black construction workers and shot and injured one. This is how he looked when he was booked. He’s serving 25y.

okay we’ve GOT to start bullying clubs that use AI

"We invented footage of a goal that wasn't recorded from scratch, none of it is real, isn't this amazing for Pele's legacy?!?" The Cosmos should have just stayed dead at this point.

I'm sorry, but if you spend a whole paragraph defending Sophie Cunningham having the opinion that trans women in sports is akin to hurting young girls you cannot be mad when the political machine driving that public opinion uses media attention to demean the league. This genuinely made me furious.

The Athletic@theathletic.com · last wk.

Sports are supposed to be a diversion, something we consider fun, a reprieve from real life. But the constant cycle of WNBA controversies has made it feel like psychological warfare just to engage with the league: nyti.ms/4gp53HA

well i'm pretty sure i'm a good driver now because i played a lot of pole position on my commodore vic 20 in the early 80s, so i'm sure this decision to hire gamers as air traffic controllers is a sound one

HoesUp☝🏾PimpsDown👇🏾@cupcakeredford.blacksky.app · 2w ago

And our grossly incompetent, reality tv Department of Transportation Secretary fired hundreds of experienced and competent air traffic controllers (because they weren't white men) to hire gamers instead. Safe travels! newrepublic.com/post/214135/...

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
