I can't believe this is already the sixth season without them.

A reminder that the "tomahawk chop" was created by a bunch of white frat boys at Florida State who just assumed this is what Native Americans do.

it would've been better (funnier) if the entire division had a losing record to end the season but no the A's exist

Fans of baseball teams like the Yankees don't necessarily "travel well." They're just everywhere.

And by "we" I presume "Cary and/or Raleigh" and by "figure it out" I presume "give us public money for a new stadium." Yuck.
Interview question: "So can I fairly say that there's no danger of losing the Courage imminently, but if we don't get it figured out in the next six months or so, [the team leaving] could be a threat?

Courage owner Steve Malik: "You can say that. Yes, I think that's an accurate statement."

if you're in the us open, it seems like there'd be nothing stopping you from just reaching out there and grabbing the serve instead of returning it and running away. like i get it, it would probably destroy your career, but still. free tennis ball

Naylor being like "oh. No thank you" here on this awful throw that set him up to get trucked at first is very much the experience of watching the 2026 Mariners

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

CBS must be the only American network that correctly displays stoppage time in its scorebug. Now if the Courage would just play better.
Screenshot of CBS score bug of the NWSL match between Bay FC and North Carolina Courage, showing the time as 45:00 plus an extra clock for stoppage time.

I didn't think Balogun should have gotten a red card in the first place, but I would rather have him serve the suspension than have it lifted because of these partners in corruption.

This ruling will hurt so many people, from trans athletes to non-trans athletes to family and friends. And for what possible gain? Zero. Trans people belong in sports. Period.

It's possible NC could charge an MLB owner rent to recoup part of the state's $1.7B stadium cost — but given the bill's sponsor declared leagues will only consider expansion bids that come with huge subsidies, probably don't hold your breath on that one.

As part of my effort to spread the word about the inadvisability of stadium subsidies, I'm trying out the popular medium of video shorts. 1/4 in a series: 1. America's stadium addiction 2. Why stadiums aren't economic catalysts 3. Why does this keep happening? 4. How to stop it

This was the first series since I pledged allegiance to the Mariners that they faced off against my former favorite team. It felt weird at first (since last season I couldn't bear watching the A's), but oh the Seattle sweep in West Sacravegas was beautiful. #TridentsUp #FJF
Scores of the three-game series between the Mariners and Athletics. Seattle won 9-2, 4-1, and 9-1.

Finally watched this and I'm now even more all-in on the Mariners, even with their history of heartbreak. The early history of Seattle pro baseball is bizarre and I am here for it. youtu.be/TIgK56cAjfY?...
