This is wild. Isn't it? How do you mean you almost got DQd because they had the wrong video?
Devin Heroux@devinheroux.bsky.social · 5d agoExtraordinary details from coach Glenroy Gilbert He reveals to me it was their own video gathered from staff in stadium that showed Aaron Brown did not step on the line. Other videos inconclusive. Had it not been for their own video, Canada would not have won the appeal
My gosh I haven't read anything as good as Christina Sharpe's Ordinary Notes in recent years. Aspiration.
The WNBA product is so, so good. And there are enough people who want to consume it without wanting to embrace that fact that it's a league built by Black and queer athletes. CC gave them a way in that made them feel more comfortable, Cunningham is letting them wave their bigot flag proudly.

The Olympic Games's men soccer tournament suddenly just became incredibly attractive all of a sudden, I'm sure, to said men.
It’s a vital lesson to learn. If my people are suffering, I’m befallen. If they’re winning, I’m a victor. We are a mirror.
Mozelle Batiste Delacroix’s only son.@roamingdruid.bsky.social · last wk.LISTEN! My grandmother said “ you’re just as good as the company you keep!” and she was right.
I strongly believe that your circle of people is a direct reflection of who you are.
Mozelle Batiste Delacroix’s only son.@roamingdruid.bsky.social · last wk.If you REGULARLY kick it with ain’t shit people, then I’m going to assume that YOU, yourself ain’t shit too. At our big ages we are ABSOLUTELY the company that we keep. Fuck you mean your homeboy beats his partners…and he’s STILL your homeboy? Or your bestie is awful to their children,
AI can't be blamed for addling an already muddled brain, because where is that arrow from (the real) Côte d'Ivoire even going? Pathetic. It sure is scary that morons like this are in charge of anything.

Eventually there's a Visa and then an Orange ad. Played once. But I kid you not--that Scotiabank ad played solo, about seven times, in the last 15 minutes.
Ornella Nzindukiyimana@orarunswild.bsky.social · last wk.WAFCON broadcast is really something else. There is only one ad. A Scotiabank playing over and over again. The same ad. Over an over. I'm not even kidding.

I guess one learns something every day... 😅
Michel Vigneault@michelvigneault.bsky.social · last wk.It was at the Olympics until 1972.
If you thought it was bad that almost every inch of the World Cup is monetized (down to the lil platforms where the balls rest on the sideline) wait until it's fully privatized! National anthems brough to you by Shazam? Nets brought to you by Off? Penalty kick mark brought to you by Sephora?
We had a group of high school kids visit this morning for various HKIN sessions. One boy asks me if I follow the NBA and what my favourite team is. I said "Um, the Raptors?" He goes "Not the MNBA. The NBA!" Anyway we geeked out about the @tempobasketball.bsky.social and the kids will be alright. 😄
The commentating for WAFCON I've seen so far... is absolutely the weakest (most polite I can be) I've ever had the displeasure to listen to. They are even worse than the usual British monotone we're subjected to. These players deserve so much better.
Gianni Infantino isn't the first megalomaniac with a narcissistic personality to run a sporting organization, but he might be the pettiest. His Instagram rant symbolizes his inability to metabolize criticism. Today FIFA is a dictatorial entity that mirrors the despots to whom he shamelessly caters.
Financial Times@financialtimes.com · last wk.Fifa president Gianni Infantino has accused his critics of being 'consumed by hate' during the World Cup, and brushed aside complaints about the treatment of Iran’s team and the decision to lift a ban on a US player after pressure from President Trump. ft.trib.al/pTBKHt9
“Iran entered the United States without incident or conflict. The Iranian team received visas to enter because football is about peace. It’s not about politics" Really? Well our bad then. Case closed. What an ignoramus. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Commonwealth Games really are basically:

First Empire--I mean Commonwealth Games under Chuck 3. 😒 Commonwealth Games are fascinating when you think of how, in simple terms, they were in part instituted by Canada to allow it to finally flex at an international event as a big fish (in contrast to the Olympics).
*cough* *cough* Just a small question: why is one wearing an unironed polo looking like he just ran in while the other is wearing their best office chic head to toe--for the same job?
An MLA was from New Brunswick reading AI notes in legislature... How exactly do we teach our students to use their brains when adults are forfeiting theirs at their job and getting away with it? Are we cooked or are we cooked? www.instagram.com/reel/DbD26KM...

There has to be a way to distinguish people on the interwebs lol
