Update: Harry Styles ran way faster than me.

Berlin Marathon done and dusted.

Former UN Special Rapporteur Dr. Michael Lynk is coming to @unbresearch.bsky.social to talk about Academic Freedom and the Palestine Exception on October 1 at 5pm

Ep. 168 Canada is Trying to Deport a Future Olympian @nkalamb.bsky.social talks to Aidan Simardone about Canada's dehumanizing immigration policies and how they are leading the country to try to deport a future Olympian. open.spotify.com/episode/5be8...

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week. I feel so awful for everyone on this site. I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life. But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves. I’m so worried.

These universities are an absolute disgrace.

This is nothing more than a smear. The National Post and CIJA are collaborating to sportwash a genocidal state and they are defaming anti-violence protesters to do it.

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this. I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder. I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post. These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose. This is really bad.

the terrifying reality of living in an age of misinformation is that it’s often more important to be the first to convey information than it is to convey accurate information

First, unionize. Second, read your contract section on force reduction.

It’s incredible to see praxis in action, but more work is to be done. CBC is sportswashing genocide by broadcasting this. Tennis Canada is sportswashing genocide by hosting it. CANCEL THE MATCH.

Absolutely cowardly stuff and, frankly, an admission that holding the match is wrong. www.tenniscanada.com/news/pro-ten...

Genocide deniers seem to have no shame (and are incredibly sloppy). This is defamatory, which is likely the least of the issues for organizers.

I did not sign this disgusting letter.

Please join @derekcrim.bsky.social and I this coming Monday at 10am ET for a discussion of how exploitation and harm saturate college football. You can register here: go.osu.edu/cancel_cfb

"The simple fact is that Moh Ahmed’s demands carry more weight than nearly every legal scholar combined. That’s the potential power of an athletic boycott." Rebecca O'Keeffe and I argue we need to work with athletes to ban Israel from all international sports now, before it's too late.

El Jones: Halifax mayor has long history of complicity with Israel.

Absolutely disgraceful

This event should not be taking place. It’s as simple as that. Holding it means you’re complicit in genocide.

Listen to this, then listen again.

Great discussion between @rusbradburd.bsky.social and @nkalamb.bsky.social on this week’s episode of @endofsportpod.bsky.social!

TikTok has informed me that this is a commensurate position to demanding the abolition of cars.

I told a class about @nkalamb.bsky.social and @derekcrim.bsky.social book last week and a student came up to me today saying they had already started to read it and were fascinated. The context of the discussion was the development of the virtue of justice.

On @endofsportpod.bsky.social, @leylahamed.bsky.social explains to @derekcrim.bsky.social the scope of Israel’s athleticide in Gaza.

On Sept 18, come to Hart House in Toronto to see @dansailofsky.bsky.social, @morganpcampbell.bsky.social, @derekcrim.bsky.social + I discuss and sign our books, which is to say talk about violence, exploitation and harm in capitalist sport. Registration is filling up! harthouse.ca/events/viole...

I discuss Canadian PM Mark Carney’s various depravities with @derekcrim.bsky.social on @endofsportpod.bsky.social Ep. 163.

Ep. 165: Canadian Hockey on Trial @nkalamb.bsky.social is joined by friend and eminent hockey scholar @kristiallain.bsky.social to break down how to understand the Hockey Canada trial and its implications for the sport and Canadian culture. open.spotify.com/episode/6Tj2...

I was on Global News in Toronto today talking about why athletic boycott of Israel is necessary. Spoiler: it is because they are committing genocide. globalnews.ca/video/113458...

This is an incredibly direct and incisive interview of @nkalamb.bsky.social on @globalnews.ca. Probably one of the most searing indictment of Tennis Canada's sportswashing of genocide I have seen on Canadian TV. globalnews.ca/video/113458...

Yeah he does. www.thestar.com/sports/tenni...

Sport is never just sport. It can also be a space to pursue justice. Thank you to these good people in 🇨🇦 for standing up

Wasserman is one of the biggest agencies in football. It represents players like Fede Valverde, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Curtis Jones, and coaches like Mikel Arteta, Enzo Maresca, and many more. But is also a machine that funds apartheid and genocide. A thread👇🏽🧵

if you don't love and support what CUPE is doing right now you're probably the worst vibe at the party

Proud to be one of 411 Canadian and Canadian-based scholars, athletes, sports journalists, and sports officials to have signed a public letter calling on Tennis Canada to cancel the Davis Cup tournament with Israel this September in Halifax.

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.” - 413 🇨🇦 academics, athletes + sports journalists, inc 3 former UN special rapporteurs + an Olympic 🥈ist

Really looking forward to this talk with OSU’s Sport and Society Initiative!

I can’t think of a more important episode @endofsportpod.bsky.social right now. @leylahamed.bsky.social is a such an important journalist doing the world a massive service. Check it out below:

Ep. 164: On Athleticide @derekcrim.bsky.social and @nkalamb.bsky.social are joined by the incredible @leylahamed.bsky.social to rage about all the ways in which sport continues to play an instrumental role in Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. open.spotify.com/episode/0WGb...

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Canada's upcoming Davis Cup tennis match with Israel is an unjustifiable violation of Canada’s obligations under international law & basic human rights. Canada must boycott,” write @nkalamb.bsky.social @dansailofsky.bsky.social & @derekcrim.bsky.social

Canada has a clear moral and legal obligation not to host Israel in any international sporting competition, including the Davis Cup.

Important conversation from beginning to end. Rebecca O'Keeffe of Irish Sport for Palestine starts off with a master-class explanation of how sports are always already political. Must-listen convo w/ @nkalamb.bsky.social & @derekcrim.bsky.social

ah yes, the oh so liberal “cut public services to fund the military” move www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The “goal” is to send “all Palestinian civilians from Gaza City” to “the” “camps.”

We’re back.

Building off Derek's post, I have real difficulty with how Canadian conservatives tend to view the courts as Schrödinger's justice system. They're all-in on the legal system — back the blue, innocent until proven guilty, etc. — until they're the ones interacting with the system.

Don’t enroll your kids in Canadian boys hockey. Nothing has changed.

the criminal ‘justice’ system has long been broken beyond repair and does nothing more than serve capital
