Not a good living, no. But better than what she’s likely to earn from playing basketball ($0). And given her complete lack of other skills and education, it’s probably all she has.

She’s probably not going to get another contract but sadly transphobia and right wing grifting is more profitable than the WNBA anyway.

I think Hunter S. Thompson's column in the immediate aftermath pretty much nailed it www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...
The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. Osama bin Laden may be a primitive "figurehead" -- or even dead, for all we know -- but whoever put those All-American jet planes loaded with All-American fuel into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did it with chilling precision and accuracy. The second one was a dead-on bullseye. Straight into the middle of the skyscraper.This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy.
OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing.

The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators.

The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

Another reminder of the utter, utter incompetence of Brisbane Roar - as if one were needed. Easily the dumbest transfer decision in #aleague history to sell his sell on clause for pennies on the dollar - in a competitive field. Colorado just basically paid $580k-odd to get $5-6m months later.

legitimately though? why would the companies bankrolling FIFA want to separately bankroll this new thing which is deeply unpopular and purely profit driven? it exposes them to more direct scrutiny. better to maintain the status quo for them surely to keep control AND an appearance of arms length

In this instance fans will simply unite behind the alternative, whatever that ends up being, because having fascists own the World Cup because FIFA was so corrupt it sold it will be the death knell to FIFA in many places. Reeks of Clive Palmer energy.

the profit is the point. bigger is the point. more and more and more is the point. we are in the death-rattle stages of late capitalism. there is no logic; power and wealth simply accumulates for its own sake. the hunger for more is insatiable and will consume everything we love in the process.

If Football Australia doesn’t come out against the Infantino proposal in the strongest possible terms then they should be replaced. Simple. We are already an arm of US-centred fascism and corruption in many ways - football at least is an arena we can control.

If the World Cup is sold to Kushner and co, and to fash more broadly, international football is likeliest to cease to exist temporarily while a new FIFA is made rather than this absurd Infantino thought bubble actually happening. It’s sad that the supposed stewards of football want to destroy it.

Football Australia have released a statement about FIFA's proposal to sell off stakes of the World Cup in exchange for giving Member Federations "optional" access to tens of millions of dollars. not sure anyone is surprised by the meekness of this given FA's own financial position at the moment.
A statement from Football Australia about FIFA's new proposal to sell off stakes in the World Cup. It reads: Football Australia can confirm it has received correspondence from FIFA regarding its latest commercial proposal.

 

As this is the first time we have been made aware of the initiative, we are now working to understand the proposal in full.

 

We have requested further information from FIFA to properly assess the strategic, commercial, and governance implications of such a significant step.

 

We will only be able to form a position after receiving this information and engaging in further dialogue with our peer Member Associations and our Confederation.

love this story about how Norway’s unusual sport system that prioritises fun and choice has produced a football team that is conquering this World Cup. what should Australia learn from this? www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Balogun getting his suspension lifted is pure 1936 Olympics areas. Absolutely disgusting favouritism from FIFA towards his favoured thin-skinned fascist. Compared to what they allowed the US to do to Iran, this has been the most compromised #WorldCup ever. We can’t allow FIFA another like this.

Human rights shouldn't be "state-based issues" and absolutely can be legislated on federally - they just don't want to so they can pass the buck to the states, and Labor know what they're doing in doing so - they're making queer people in certain states less safe. They couldn't care less. #auspol

the recent sale of the Central Coast Mariners came as a shock to its women’s team, who found out 15 minutes before the announcement that they weren’t included at all. I spoke to some of them about it and what this means for the #ALeagueWomen. www.espn.com.au/soccer/story...

Qatar are a fucking disgrace. Their second red card - do not, in any circumstances, look it up, but it's one of the worst tackles I've seen in 30 plus years of watching football. Kevin Muscat, Roy Keane on Haaland level. Feel for Kone and the clearly distressed Canadian players. #worldcup #CANQAT
