Grumpy Professor here: students, realize it’s super painful and takes an extraordinary amount of time to read and grade work submitted that’s genAI produced…and really offensive too, when it lacks key aspects covered in class and stipulated on the submission checklist.

Here's me for TIME's Made By History on the long history of U.S. sports diplomacy, how its more impactful varieties have been sportsworld-driven, and why it's time for the US to create a sports diplomacy strategy (like France, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, have done). time.com/7339500/us-s...

Sports is all about resilience, and love of a comeback story. This brought me joy. Plus: could Pogba be a boost for the game back home à la Wemby 2022-23? www.nytimes.com/athletic/684... Paul Pogba’s comeback means French football’s ‘stolen prince’ is home at last @soccerpolitics.bsky.social

Mélissa Mayeux sélectionnée au 5ème tour de draft de la Women's Pro Baseball League, nouvelle ligue qui débutera en 2026. Après avoir été la 2ème pro française en softball (WPF 2022), elle va devenir la première joueuse française en baseball. Et la première à le réaliser dans les deux disciplines.

A France - Brazil game in Boston would be a great way to kick off spring!

Congrats Haiti! The team last contested the tournament in 1974, but were maligned by biased media for matchday performances that weren't as bad as reporters wrote, as per this Sleeper Hit History explainer youtu.be/aaYxVnUGDy0?... @soccerpolitics.bsky.social @cbssportsgolazo-m.bsky.social

⚽ Les Bleus verront l'Amérique. Portée par sa superstar Kylian Mbappé, auteur d'un doublé et héros du match, l'équipe de France a réussi sa mission et a brillamment décroché son billet pour le Mondial-2026 en écrasant l'Ukraine (4-0), jeudi au Parc des Princes.

A Little (Re)Introduction 👋 Hello, I’m Lindsay, a #sportsdiplomacy expert and scholar-practitioner on a mission to help others better understand, engage, and communicate through this powerful framework 🧵

I was wondering when someone would move to try to keep them in CT… or New England at the very least.

Me watching the 4th quarter of this France vs Georgia EuroBasket knockout match (it’s a 3pt game with 6:50 left)

🚨🚨You can now pre-order my book, THE LONG GAME, on the United States men's national soccer team and its messy rise from total international irrelevance to, well, TBD!🚨🚨 I spoke to ~150 players/coaches/etc. and got fresh stories and unprecedented access! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722130...

Really enjoying this France v Slovenia EuroBasket match Allez les Bleus!

📣 Fridays 👉 #SportsDiplomacy Spotlight While you were on vacation, the hoops world was hard at work. With all eyes on EuroBasket 2025 and its NBA stars, here’s a repub of my 2015 book review of "Le Continent Basket" www.lindsaysarahkrasnoff.com/news/2025/8/... @beastofberglund.bsky.social

Yay! Come for today’s insights, stay for the history. Supplements to the chapter on women’s hoops history from FranceAndUS on how France was a place for U.S. women to hoop before Title IX programs got off the ground www.franceussports.com/voices/042-a... www.franceussports.com/voices/038-g...

Hmmm 🤔 while I understand the need to finance hosting the Games, this feels perhaps a bridge too far…

C’est la France 🇫🇷🏀 I spoke with Gabby as she embarked on her epic rise, and she talked of how playing in Europe helped her professionally and personally. Some of it’s in this FranceAndUS Voice while the full story is within #BasketballEmpire www.franceussports.com/voices/007-g...

While I don't support its cancelation, I do think it's funny they made a TV show about the Lakers and ended it right when they lost to the Celtics. Boston wins again

Chilling indeed, and magnifies the risk and duty of care that needs to be involved when strategizing player/athlete engagement via social media

As I do each year over at the other place, I want to use my following to help #clearthelist for some teachers! If you are a teacher and need help clearing your list of needed classroom supplies, reply to this post with a link to your list. I'll share as many as I can over the next few days.

One year ago, Steph Curry broke my heart in the City of Light 🥹 France was 3 pts behind Team USA with 3 mins left in the Olympic gold medal match. Then Curry unfurled a series of three-point shots that put to bed French hopes for a victory on home soil www.lindsaysarahkrasnoff.com/news/2025/5/...

I finally made it to Quai 54, the world’s largest street ball tournament, one played in Paris for more than 20 yrs now held at Roland Garros. Fun, record-breaking sold out attendance, 16 countries rep’d on court and the chance to see Nadir Hifi and Matthew Strazel work their magic up close. Chapeau!

Ohh goodie, I was hoping more of sports migrated here from that other place. ALLEZ LES BLEUES!

Ahead of tonight’s Euro 2025 group of death France va England matchup, remember these two countries pioneered the game more than 100 years ago…and gave us the sports world’s first “viral” moment as my 2018 piece for The Athletic chronicled www.nytimes.com/athletic/653...

Bonjour from Paris, where I’m excited to finally experience the magic and mania of Quai 54 this weekend, being held at Roland Garros—the world’s biggest street basketball tournament. But meanwhile, it’s a football art place. Spotted en route into the city from CDG

Honored to have written SI's official farewell to Greg Popovich. Every minute of covering him was interesting. Hope you enjoy. bit.ly/3TN7p70

Should sports be a college major? Superb question posed, and thanks to the Sports Collective gathering yesterday at Nike NYC HQ, we have a great, growing foundation of really good answers and blueprints for “yes,” “here’s why” and “here’s how.” And yes, I had to represent on NBA Draft Day 😉🏀

Congrats OKC on your NBa Championship Title! What a great series, thrilled that Sam Presti’s work finally payed off. #CarlisleForever
