If #NFL players support & organize the “#DEI College Athlete Boycott”…
By #black#athletes at schools who’ve decimated DEI programs at state colleges.
Imagine the drain on their “players/employees!
“The impact that parents & guardians of black recruits could have on state schools so dependent upon the labor of their kids by avoiding places w/regressive racial rules like #DeSantis ‘s #Florida would be immeasurable.”
Calling for all #LGBTQ#athletes to sign onto this letter calling for #Israel to be banned from the Gay Games for #genocide, modelled after the South African sporting bans of the 80s. Please share widely, even if you can't sign on.
Sport is political, and as athletes and human beings we need to use our platforms as we've been asked to, to create whatever pressure we can to stop the genocide of #Palestine and #IsraeliWarCrimes .
Drop that rhetoric of ”fairness”. Killing is killing. Occupation is occupation. It’s illegal it has to end. There can be no one family united under sports, when one is killing for territory.
Leonard Leo, a key architect of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, is now the chairman of #Teneo#Network, a group that aims to influence all aspects of American politics and culture
Leo declared in a slick but private video to potential donors, he planned to “crush liberal dominance” across American life. The country was plagued by “woke-ism” in corporations and education, “one-sided journalism” and “entertainment that’s really corrupting our youth,” said Leo amid snippets of cheery music and shots of sunsets and American flags.
Sitting tucked into a couch, with wire-rimmed glasses and hair gone to gray, Leo conveyed his inspiration and intentions: “I just said to myself, ‘Well, if this can work for law, why can’t it work for lots of other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now?’”
Has anyone written #journal articles about the role #ClimateChange will play in professional #sports? The effect of #ExtremeWeather on the health of #athletes (playing in extreme heat, unhealthy air conditions from fires) and the loss of money due to event cancellations? Plus recommendations for leagues and players? I wonder if player #unions have talked about this in terms of players rights

Russians can qualify for Olympic spots in some sports. That doesn’t mean they’ll be allowed in Paris.
A year before the Paris Olympics, and nearly a year-and-a-half since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, officials governing many of the sports on the 2024 program are still split on how to treat Russian athletes.
Know that I support competition by trans women. Based on the scientific evidence I have seen, I believe there is no unfair advantage for trans women. All the same, this debate was informative.
