We saw this coming, didn't we? It's like 1993, 1978, 1953, etc etc all over again. 😤

The soccer and the resilience of many players has been remarkable. Grim and self-aggrandized from a FIFA/U.S. government perspective still holds, though.

"Some of the most vocal, full-throated opposition to the A.I. Initiative has come from one particular C.S.U. campus: San Francisco State University." It's always good to be in the lead on the opposition front. 🦾

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for...

Not loving the #Valkyries mascot reveal. How about a mascot with more powerful moves, and if you're gonna have instruction from a player as part of the performance, why not bring in women's hoops royalty???? Also, what's up w/ the skirt? Big miss from the marketing dept.

This is a dark stain on football, and will always be remembered as such. That UEFA nor FIFA did or said anything about the hundreds killed and complete anhialation of football in that region is deplorable.

I wrote about the WNBA and dildogate for Andscape: “By using the sex toy to make their point, the stunt becomes more than just an annoyance or a danger during play — it becomes a sexualized threat to the women on the court, an allusion to violence that can keep them in their place.”

Throwing sex toys on court at WNBA games is about power, not humor
This latest 'trend' is not funny. It's harassment

"The WNBA and its players have reached a level of popularity usually reserved for male athletes and leagues, a level of popularity these man-babies can only dream of."

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.
