Bezos has yet to make a single good decision for th Washpost. His hires are uniformly awful. The paper's AI is a joke. He's killed revenue, invited a huge realm of gleeful competitors into its turf. He's the Dan Snyder of news org owners - an incompetent amateur without the grace to admit it.

You want to take away the voice and vote of Black athletes, their families and friends? Then by all means these young men and women should spurn schools in states that only see them as athletes, not people.

Excellent piece by the always-great @nrarmour.bsky.social:

Art But Make It Sports meme account pairs viral sports photos with images of paintings, drawings and sculptures in LJ Rader's unexpected mashups.

The viral photo of Wemby's angelic pose after Game 1 gave me the chance to write about @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social, one of my favorite accounts!

Caitlin Clark is your grand marshal for the Indy 500: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

As the Netflix show says, "Nobody wants this." Except a tiny minority of insecure, cruel, and misguided white people who will fail in their mission to force us back into the past. Sooner rather than later, if we work hard enough and vote like our country is at stake.

This suuuuucks.

With only 13 Black head coaches out of 136 major college football teams, USA TODAY Sports spoke with Black ex-NFL stars about opportunities and access

If Mikel Arteta had wanted to wait (& wait & wait) at #MCFC there's every chance he would’ve been the man to take over from Guardiola. He gave that up for the opportunity to build something of his own (pretty much from scratch) at Arsenal. What he's done is remarkable www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

Feels impossible to convey to anyone under 35 or so how SI’s whole thing for decades was “we have the very best sportswriting.” That was the brand. Three generations of kids like me grew up with SI as the inspiration for our careers and as the dream job we all aspired to.

Chicago Bears’ proposed stadium site in Hammond would be built on giant slag heap, near hazardous waste sites

This is a review essay featuring three books on trans-inclusion in sport: @katiebarnes.bsky.social's Fair Play, Harrison Browne and @rachelbrowne.ca's Let Us Play, and Ellie Roscher and Anna Baethe's Fair Game. I recommend them all! I recommend reading them all together.

Chicago Stars FC has become the type of team that if you don’t score three to four goals on them during a win then that’s a missed opportunity for the team that won, and that’s pretty miserable place to be if you’re a player. Not sure how there’s not multiple hot seats for coaches to execs right now

Good thread here

Ughhhhh

Need a multiview for WNBA league pass. Kthanks.

Isn’t that just too bad

Everyone has changed their live game sites AND MADE THEM WORSE.

Well this sucks.

Mike Vrabel got a taste of what this season is going to be like with the Los Angeles Chargers’ schedule release video. Which was hilariously snarky, as usual.

Great story by @boombaca.bsky.social on NFL teams’ offseason Super Bowl: the schedule release and the hilarious videos used to do it. For me, nothing will ever top the Titans a few years ago. “That, that actually doesn’t exist.”

All 32 NFL teams produce a video promoting the upcoming season's schedule. This is how the event became the 'Super Bowl' for NFL creative teams.

Total boss status: “King said she even had to write an essay on Title IX, a law King played a pivotal role in getting passed.” Great story by Cyd!

I absolutely love this story. Well done, Billie Jean King!

PWHL announces expansion teams in Ontario and Vegas. Bit surprised about Vegas, but that city has shown it’ll show out for women’s sports. Good to see they’ll play at T-Mobile, too.

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

Jason Collins made it so “never” would no longer be a barrier to other gay men coming out during their playing careers. Collins was the first so no one else had to be.

It is not lost on me that a century ago this would be addressing Catholics

had a quick chat with Mathis Albert, who isn't going to be on the 2026 WC roster but looks like a good bet for 2030 at this rate

For the second consecutive season, Arsenal will play all of their WSL home fixtures at the Emirates 🏟️❗ The club also announced record-breaking support during the 25/26 campaign, with half a million tickets sold and an average attendance of 34,677 across 10 WSL matches so far 📈 📸: arsenalwfc

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The only possible redeeming thing that could come out of FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s repeated gushing over Donald Trump is if it keeps the U.S. president from ruining the World Cup.

"the gap between rich and poor a major problem:few voters, even those who describe themselves as moderate, really support what pundits call “centrism.” there are big opportunities for leaders willing to pull an FDR and declare, “I welcome their hatred.” Paul Krugman open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Gianni Infantino says FIFA is “humanity’s happiness provider”. But with 5 weeks to go to the World Cup, there’s still no legal way for 3.3bn humans (40% of them) to watch it. How time zones, Trump, piracy, TikTok &…cricket have weakened FIFA’s hand. Illegal stream 👇 www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Wait, WHAT????

Is Brady going to the Michael Jackson movie next?

BREAKING: The Portland Fire just set a WNBA attendance record for a team’s first game. 19,335. A sellout of Moda Center.

The GMs weren’t wrong when they picked Paige Bueckers as the player they’d build a team around. Also, the Dallas Wings are legit.
