This is an outrage! Maybe it will get student workers at the U to consider seeking union representation like students at Macalester did a couple years ago. @seiumn.bsky.social

Sophie Cunningham and Riley Gaines combined for three points and one rebound in 23 minutes during the Lynx 108-100 win over Indiana. During most of their time on the court, they stood in the corner looking for attention without much success.

Target Center today is like a (meaningful) Gophers-Badgers game with the influx of Fever/Hawkeyes fans. High decibel/high energy/hugely fun.

“Our roster is complete… we will not be making any trades.” — Cheryl Reeve, re: playing a game that will end around the trade deadline today

Who’s the last person in the world a Twins fan wants to hear talk about the trade deadline? A) Derek Falvey B) Derek Falvey C) Derek Falvey D) All of the above

Twins Daily@twinsdaily.com · 3d ago

Derek Falvey shared a ton of insight with fans this week, including the danger of leaks, players to be named later, GIFs and emojis in trade negotiations, and why anyone would trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. #twins #minnesota #mntwins

Pretty basic logic flaw in Cunningham's argument: Supporting exclusion is 180 degrees from upholding values of "diversity and inclusion."

The Athletic@theathletic.com · 4d ago

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

WNBA announcers on Prime are so much better than ESPN's crew. Prime broadcasters explain the action well for the viewers; ESPN's seem more interested in being cheerleaders for the players.

Caitlin Clark and the sideshows surrounding her -- Iowans, Sophie Cunningham and agenda-setting hopefuls -- will be at Target Center on Sunday. Plus, the real Vikings QB competition finally starts, the Twins say they're gonna buy and a tribute to Coach John Anderson from a former Gophers star.

Kody Clemens taking Matt Strahm deep with this walk-off grand slam is the kind of left-on-left violence I can fully support.

Cheryl Reeve yelled at Courtney Williams after calling time out 3:50 into the game with Toronto up on the Lynx 17-12. Even money she yelled, "This isn't the f*****g All-Star Game!"

Cory Provus has been low-key challenging Denard Span on his opinions and analysis throughout this Twins road trip -- and I think he's been right every time. As the home plate umpire would say, "Provus still has two challenges remaining."

Help me, soccer non-casuals. England were pretty much taking a knee to try running out the clock, right?

Kind of hoping that if the officiating is as bad during Wednesday's "day camp" Lynx game as it is tonight, an arena full of children will launch into the "ref you suck!" chant.

The request to "make some noise" for the Twins Rally Dancers today was met with the same absence of enthusiasm as fans have for greeting a middle reliever in a blowout game. Like an annoying sibling, if we ignore them maybe they will go away

Feeling like I've won the day because I exchanged our Twins tickets just now for comparable seats on the shaded side of the 200 level at Target Field.
