Any PNW sport academics (or sport professionals) want to submit a panel for IACS? It is is Portland this year and that is driveable for me - the due date is the 15th.

In the pro field at today's Chicago Marathon, there was one new qualifier for the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials: Emma Grace Hurley. But in the mass race, Kelby Laughner (2:35:41), Alli Sefanov (2:35:50), and Sarah Chandler (2:36:06) all earned a spot in the race for the first time this cycle.

It is that time of year again, if you need a woman for your sports panel @aejmc.bsky.social - I will be there bc I'm on SCT. I study women's sports communication, influencer culture & NIL. I'm also a hella good moderator.

I need a romantasy where a retired pair of married warriors decide to go see what the King needs bc their child is going through a sleep regression & like the prospect of sleep sounds great. They then spend the whole novel trying to get back to said child.

After 20 years of college athletics reconfiguring itself around SEC football, it would be too funny for it to implode now.

It’s absolutely unbelievable to me that, in 2026, with so many women working in sports media, we keep getting show shows that are entirely made up of men.

A friend just recounted getting a nice compliment from a colleague & it LIT UP her face. Then someone to whom I sent a syllabus in May wrote to tell me very things about it, which made my day. The point of this post is that people want recognition and giving it takes nothing & makes things better.

The US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
According to four executives at U.S. host city committees, all of whom asked to remain anonymous to protect relationships, FIFA management repeatedly assured the cities they would receive the same $1 million contribution towards legacy, despite no public statement ever being made by the organization.

The World Cup host cities in the U.S. were Seattle, San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York/New Jersey, Miami and Boston.

The four executives said this promise was made verbally by members of FIFA’s senior management, and reiterated to cities in meetings, but it has not been paid, meaning several cities are now asking FIFA staff for updates on the payments.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

A record that will stand for a while. The United Center is the biggest pro basketball arena in the country. It would take having the game in a football stadium to draw a higher number.

Megan Rapinoe is a legend.
A black graphic with white text featuring a quote by Megan Rapinoe. The quote reads:

“At first it was like, Nobody likes women’s sports! and Nobody wants to watch it!

Or there was abuse happening, and nobody seemed to care.

Now, all of a sudden, we’re going to use a vulnerable group of people in the trans community to be like, Oh, we’re protecting women’s sports and we care so much about it?”

The quote is attributed at the bottom to Megan Rapinoe on The View, with the them logo in the top-right corner.
