Their advertisers are going to be pissed.

Going live on YouTube at 5p ET/2p PT to discuss Disney announcing that Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air on Tuesday www.youtube.com/live/8nRue9v...

“This thing called women’s sport is a beautiful thing, and it’s been here for everyone. And we’ve wanted the audience; we’ve wanted people to pay attention,” the broadcast journalist Cari Champion tells @jemelehill.bsky.social at #TAF25. Watch more: bit.ly/465zTjy

Absolutely horrifying footage of congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social being thrown to the ground by ICE. Cowardly behavior.

I triple-checked. This wasn’t @theonion.com headline

I ain’t Michele Obama, so when they go low, I’m headed to gutter. I had to read Megyn Kelly for filth after she called me ugly. I’m a lot of things but ugly ain’t one of them. The read starts around the 28:00 mark www.youtube.com/live/ScndPtd...

This was extremely insightful, as it does show that the killer did not fit into a neat political box.

I’m going to remove a post I posted here a few days ago. The LA Times spoke with an expert who explained what the shell casings on the casings (good and accurate information), which seemed to point to some kind of far right on far right crime. Obviously, there’s more concrete info now.

Watching the Utah prosecutor explain the charges against Tyler Robinson and I applaud him for his thoroughness.

I spoke with Maya Moore ahead of her HOF induction. So many believe she would have been the unquestioned GOAT had she kept playing. I asked something that should matter to the WNBA as they work on a new CBA. Would Maya have played longer if the WNBA paid better? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Watched Al Jazeera tonight, which I hadn’t done in a long time. It really crystallized just how poorly American media have covered the far right movement, particularly from the lens of it being a global threat. The Tommy Robinson rally in London was very reminiscent of Charlottesville. Total chaos.

The Post’s decision to fire Karen Attiah, one of their strongest voices, is just despicable. Unfortunately, it speaks to the moment we’re in. The best thing we can do is vigorously support Karen’s work.

I probably rambled more than I should have but here are my thoughts on Charlie Kirk, the media and our destructive political culture www.youtube.com/live/8t12NAK...

Going live at 1p ET/10 am PT for a bonus episode of SPOLITICS to discuss the sports world’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder, our divisive “politics,” the limitations of free speech and where we go from here. Don’t forget to subscribe while you’re there www.youtube.com/live/8t12NAK...

So predictable that several HBCUs are on lockdown because they have received direct threats, and Hampton has canceled classes altogether. Black people are always a scapegoat and a target for white anger.

My conversation with Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson for SPOLITICS — which includes what he plans to do to keep the Bears in Chicago, how he lowered the city’s crime rate, why he isn’t backing down from Trump and his response to his low approval ratings youtu.be/-KAmDDwabWM?...

@jemelehill.bsky.social with the best take on this 🧀🛢️ logo nonsense.

In recognition of Labor Day, here’s my SPOLITICS commentary in how the formation of sports unions were central in the overall American labor fight youtu.be/P4wmnnARz-8?...

Re-posting my SPOLITICS episode with Taylor Townsend earlier this year. Taylor has dealt with a lot in tennis, including a significant amount of body shaming. When you listen to this pod, you’ll understand why TT was unbothered by Jelena Ostenpenko youtu.be/AdrZcGAlp-c?...

Very classy of Fox to air Lee Corso’s final pick and for Tom Rinaldi to pay tribute in his on-field report. Speaks to not just the respect for Corso, but how universally liked he is.

The bad faith actors will dishonestly draw a through line connecting trans people to mass shootings but will skip right to over the fact that many of these mass shooters are racists, antisemites and misogynists because they harbor some of the same sentiments as the shooters.

America took the leap from trans women are the biggest threat to sports to trans people are now the face of mass shootings in record time. Even for this country, that’s impressive.

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson. In our wide-ranging interview, Mayor Johnson explains how he’s navigating Donald Trump’s constant attacks on the city of Chicago.

The backlash against the Vikings for having male cheerleaders shows once again that the right loves a good meaningless culture war. youtu.be/SkGzNq4Zv2Q?...

I truly enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation I had with sports media personality Amin El Hassan for a recent episode of SPOLITICS. How he grew up and how he got into the NBA and subsequently sports media is fascinating youtu.be/Zi3opcZ-nKI?...

Thank you!

I had a few thoughts on dicks … as in the plastic kind that keep making unwanted appearances at WNBA games youtu.be/0X56s7HqQ9o?...

I’ll do you one better and not mention Batman. It’s The Paper, a movie about journalists that holds up extremely well.

Gotta say … this one is an all-timer.

Sensational story by @danwetzel.bsky.social on the devastating impact “sextortion” is having on young athletes. A must read, especially for parents www.espn.com/high-school/...

10/10 … no notes

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is former NFLPA executive DeMaurice Smith. We discuss his new book, Turf Wars, at length, in which he details what NFL owners are really like, his relationship with Roger Goodell and current state of the NFLPA.

Name a boomer-esque opinion that you secretly hold. I’ll go first: I hate seeing people wear bonnets and sleepwear at the airport. Of course, small children are the exception, re: pajamas.

Had a really deep conversation with author and educator Jason Wilson the latest episode of SPOLITICS, about the emotional process of forgiving a parent who has wronged you. It’s worth you all checking out. youtu.be/Mj0ml4MA2FY?...

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is Jason Wilson, author, educator and the founder of a transformational martial arts academy for at-risk boys, most of whom are Black. Jason speaks extensively about boys and men being in a state of “emotional incarceration.”

"NBA owners have indeed spent a considerable amount of money to keep the league afloat," Jemele Hill writes of the WNBA. "But that spending wasn’t charity; it was an investment. And the investment is very clearly about to pay off":

In my latest column for @theatlantic.com, I explain why some of the negative reaction to WNBA players wearing the Pay Us What You Owe Us T-shirts during All-Star weekend is rooted in bad-faith narratives www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One thing about golf: It doesn’t develop character. It reveals it.

To that point, here’s a story done about how in he early 2000s, the Nets were able to turn a $28 million profit into a $6 million loss on paper by using questionable, but widely practiced and legal accounting methods deadspin.com/exclusive-ho...

God bless the Scots

That word makes me lose my shit

What’s a corporate phrase or word that you hate? For example, I used to hate it when some producers at ESPN would say, “we had some learns today.” A new one is, “we’ve got some solves.” What’s corporate -speak do you despise?

Just thinking aloud here … but if Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, won’t his base be absolutely furious? People are predicting a pardon because the assumption is she’ll somehow exonerate Trump. But as willfully gullible as his base is, are they really going to buy that there was no quid-pro-quo?

I am getting a special kind of pleasure out of seeing their own base eat them alive on this. Also, Mike Johnson and the warden from Shawshank Redemption are the same person and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Hard to believe Malcolm-Jamal Warner is no longer with us. He was incredibly talented and thoughtful. He was one of my favorite podcast guests. Had no idea he directed the N.E Heartbreak video — among the many things we talked about during our wide-ranging conversation youtu.be/FiilBa2Dfc0?...

Did a special SPOLITICS live on YouTube to break down WNBA All-Star weekend. I had a lot of thoughts on the polarizing reaction to WNBA players wearing the Pay Us What You Owe Us T-shirts that naturally triggered all the bad faith actors www.youtube.com/live/0upaQrp...
