When I think about trans people in sports, I don’t think about lobbies or legislation. I think about my friends. Wrote about pick-up hoops, queer community and love:

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends
Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.

This is so good. No surprise considering it's Katie. It'll be a long, long, long time until it is not, in some way, a political (small p!) act whenever women play sports. Modern sports infrastructure was not built to include them; their appearance is always transgressive, suspect, and scrutinized.

If you can get through this whole segment without crying, I’m not sure what to say. May we all find the inner strength to live not only as courageously but also as generously as Jason Collins. Yes he made a difference for countless strangers but also check out how his nieces felt about him.

As a queer person covering the Bulls, the team’s response to Jaden Ivey's homophobic comments came as a relief. But the guard’s beliefs — and willingness to vocalize them — were not a surprise. If Artūras Karnišovas can’t vet his trades, why should he continue running the Bulls front office?

🚨 ICE at O'HARE 🚨 In Terminal 1, agents stood in pairs at each passenger exit. They appeared to be unoccupied, standing and chatting as passengers walked by them. Most wore masks. All wore bulletproof tactical vests. “It’s pointless. It’s just to cause fear and threat to people.”

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott later said at a news conference that the proposal would include a practice facility. When asked if the practice facility would eliminate the need for Halas Hall, the Bears headquarters and practice facilities in Lake Forest, McDermott said, “That’s absolutely correct.”

“They are talking about Halas Hall, everything,” McDermott said. “That’s breaking … Oh no, the lawyer is coming.” The lawyer stood up and said the news conference would end after one more question.
