When @janesports.bsky.social first started covering high school sports back in 1997, women’s sports were considered niche. In 2026, that's no longer the case.

Women’s Sports Are Thriving. Will Equality Follow?

Audiences for women’s sports are surging and investment is rising. But a mismatch between viewership and advertising is curbing how far the boom can go.

I really dislike our failing public health system, masked agents kidnapping people, the erosion of expertise and proliferation of data centers… make it at least 7K.

Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

Almost half of NFL fans are women. Looking forward to a day when a flagship streaming channel for a major sports outlet just happens to feature five women. But I’d settle for one.

Donald Trump might say silly things and appear to put the Fed under pressure... ... In fact there are more interesting connections between fiscal and monetary policy than crude fiscal dominance in a high debt world www.ft.com/content/dda7...

That the trans inclusion debate is landing us back in The Lesbian Scare era of women’s sports is just chef‘s kiss. As every trans person on this planet has been screaming for years, transphobia is a gateway for all kinds of hate.

A thing I love about the Iga, Coco and Alex fandoms -- I'm sure there's other players who have this too, these are just the ones I notice a lot -- the people who come out to see them span generations. Grannies, Uncs, Gen Z, kids, all wearing merch and holding up signs. It's really heartwarming.

When I was 5, my babysitter lied to my mom and secretly took me to a Dolly Parton concert. My mom got home but we were still out. Best babysitter ever.

It's time to ban him from the arenas. Also, who's paying him?

The press release could be titled WNBA TO KANTOR: FUCK OFF

For real though if the WNBA wants to make statements about condemning bad faith actors using this as a political football…well, one of them just interrupted one of your games and had to be escorted out. MAKE A FUCKING EXAMPLE OF HIM, CATHY, YOU COWARD

Listen, the highest human law is revenue maximization. Pretty sure it’s in the Bible.

It’s Game 4 of the 2029 playoffs, Lakers vs 76ers; Iger and Kushner decide to sell all the seats at the Crypto Arena to Sam Altman for $6B. Altman and 3 of his pals watch the game in an empty stadium while everyone else has to pay $100 to watch an AI simulation of the game on a streaming site.

I cancelled my sub when it killed sports, but checked the Washington Post today and what a stunning fall. Comparing with the NYT, the most dire news is absent, and the framing on other stories is insane. Darlene Graham’s “pitfalls of acknowledging ignorance.” (?) Lead graphic is an airborne pickup.

there is absolutely nothing more on the nose than ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen passing away, and *while hurriedly closing out* of their tribute to him, it *hard cut* to the The Pat McAfee Show
