“Death by football” is a phrase we should say aloud. If they don’t die on the field it doesn’t mean we aren’t treating them like gladiators, sent to die for our enjoyment. Remebering that the men on the line taking those hits are largely Black, dying to protect the QBs who are largely white.

Whether we want to admit it or not, every NFL game is a snuff film. It's long past time fans of the sport faced up to a reality that becomes clearer every day: American football is simply too dangerous. This year, turn off the NFL. Our latest in @theguardian.com @us.theguardian.com.

BREAKING: Fifth Circuit three-judge panel of all Republican appointees blocks rule allowing mailing of mifepristone, agreeing with Louisiana challenge to a policy ending the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Before SOUTHWICK, DUNCAN, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
STUART KYLE DUNCAN, Circuit Judge:
In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215
(2022), the Supreme Court returned the regulation of abortion to the states.
In response, the Biden Administration directed federal agencies to "expand access to ... medication abortion." Exec. Order No. 14076, 87 Fed. Reg. 42053 (July 8, 2022). The next year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally altered its safety guidelines for the abortion drug mifepristone. Under the new regulation, the drug could now be prescribed online and dispensed through the mail, without any need for an in-person visit to a doctor.
In 2025, Louisiana challenged the new regulation in federal court under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). It argued that FDA's justifications for remotely dispensing mifepristone were based on flawed or nonexistent data. It also documented how the new regulation had resulted in numerous illegal abortions in Louisiana and in Louisiana paying thousands in Medicaid bills for women harmed by mifepristone. Louisiana sought a stay of the regulation while the litigation proceeded.

response, FDA conceded it had failed to adequately study whether remotely prescribing mifepristone is safe. But the agency resisted staying the regulation, arguing it was in the midst of a comprehensive review of mifepristone protocols. The agency, however, could not say when that review might be complete and admitted it was still collecting data.
The district court agreed that Louisiana was likely to win its challenge
to the mifepristone regulation and was suffering irreparable harm from it.
Nonetheless, the court declined to stay the regulation based on its balancing of the equities and the public interest. Louisiana appealed to our court and sought a stay pending appeal under 5 U.S.C. § 705.

Case: 26-30203
Document: 119-1
Page: 3
Date Filed: 05/01/2026
No. 26-30203
We grant the stay.

Ok, I filled a BBC complaint about it and so should you You can find my complaint in the alt text, but I urge you to write your own if able. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

I wish to make a formal complaint about a social-media post by BBC presenter Martina Navratilova on X, dated 21 April 2026: https://x.com/Martina/status/2046370262493364516

In that post, Ms Navratilova described Dr Beth Upton as a “Predator” and “A sexual predator”.

This is an extremely serious accusation to make about a named individual. No finding of any wrongdoing was made against Dr Upton. The post therefore goes far beyond comment or debate and instead publicly smears her with abusive and degrading language.

The post also appears plainly discriminatory. Ms Navratilova misgenders Dr Upton and targets her on the basis of the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. The substance and tone of the post make clear that Dr Upton was singled out not because of any proven wrongdoing, but because she is a transgender woman.

A BBC presenter should not use a public platform to vilify an individual in this way, particularly by portraying her as sexually dangerous without any proper basis. That is harmful to Dr Upton, damaging to public discourse, and incompatible with the standards the BBC should expect from its presenters.

More so when done solely because of a characteristic protected under Equality Act 2010 and part of a long pattern of miss Navratilova.

Please investigate this as a formal complaint and confirm:

- whether this post breaches BBC standards or policies;
- what action will be taken;
- whether Ms Navratilova will be required to remove the post and apologise
- what steps the BBC will take to prevent similar conduct in future.

Trans People Belong In View
Harrison Browne

For Trans Day of Visibility we’re highlighting the accomplishments of famous athletes. Their accomplishments on and off the field of play deserve to be celebrated. They are competitors, they are our teammates, and they are strong. We hope that these visible athletes remind us that sports and athleticism are important to the whole trans community. Their fight, grit, and determination enrich us all. Today we say Trans Athletes Belong.

Cloud 9 is sharing the story of Harrison Browne, the first publicly out transgender athlete in professional hockey. While Harrison came out as a transgender man to teammates in college, he did so publicly in 2016 as a professional player for the Buffalo Beauts of the NWHL. He won the Isobel Cup with the Beauts in the 2016-17 season, and again with the Metropolitan Riveters in 2017-18. Harrison also helped form the first ever transgender policy in professional sports.

Following his retirement from pro hockey in 2018, he has become an author, actor, and filmmaker. In 2025, Harrison and sister Rachel published a non-fiction book about transgender inclusion in sports called Let Us Play. He developed and produced the short film Pink Light. Most recently, Harrison appeared in a guest role in the series Heated Rivalry. We’re proud of Harrison’s accomplishments on and off the ice, today and every day!
