Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 25/01/2025every time I think a new level of depravity has been reached, they sink lower. go to Google maps and search Beit Hanoun, and you can see the Israeli branding on Gaza. won’t be long till Google removes it I imagine, but it’s still there now. 150
Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 21/01/2025no mention in headlines in the Western press that the Palestinian prisoners were all women and CHILDREN and of course no questioning why Israel holds children in detention 030
Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 20/01/2025 though there was finally a ceasefire last week, the occupation and our fight against it is far from over. proud to see this out in print, open-access, based on our panel last year on sport and Palestine in a time of crisis. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal... 010

Reposted by Daniel Sailofsky Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Here’s my pitch for why you should read this book: it’s not about what Derek and I have to say, tho I think we make a persuasive case; it’s the stunning and riveting and never-before-heard testimony of former players.

Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Based on the discourse the last few days, it seems like everyday working people understand structural violence/social murder, but ruling elites and the media class that represents their interests don’t, or don’t want to funny how that works 000
Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 05/12/2024a propos of nothing in particular, Engels wrote a great little section on social murder that I cite in my book to help explain structural violence www.marxists.org/archive/marx... 0103

Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 02/12/2024a person’s opinion of Dillon Brooks as a player is my barometer for if I think you understand basketball dude is such a gamer and does so many important things, more than making up for the occasional silliness 000
Reposted by Daniel Sailofsky Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 30/11/2024What I can’t shake in all of this is that the brawl and the pepper spray and all of it is a massive story precisely because it is framed as aberrant violence. But a HBCU player was just killed on the field in the banal violence that *is* football, and that warrants barely a footnote. 18837

Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 18/11/2024beyond the fact that Israel has killed athletes, coaches, referees and administrators and used Yarmouk stadium as a detention camp, Israel’s continued inclusion in the international sport system signals that their conduct is acceptable - it’s sportswashing of the highest order 19349

Daniel Sailofsky @dansailofsky.bsky.social · 10/11/2024I’m officially making the switch. Twitter has become so unbearable that even the sunk cost can’t keep me there. I post about social issues - gender, labour, violence - in sport and outside of it, leftist politics and more generic NBA and WNBA fandom stuff! 040
