'I want it to be my life': Why Patrick Mahomes is much more than a celebrity product endorser For an active athlete of his stature, the Chiefs QB has been unusually involved in his coffee brand's coast-to-coast growth.

I am sorry but this is so embarrassing for everyone involved how has this been on the home page all day 😭😭😭 www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

if there’s NOT an off-field issue with Nahas then it makes today’s presser completely inexcusable and the club really owes him an apology

Mboko!!!!!!! 😭😭

thanks i hate it!!!

As someone who has covered/followed this team for eight years, it's so disheartening to watch management reduce the club to a meme.

It doesn't have to be this way.

'Multitude of factors' - NC Courage offer few details on Nahas dismissal NWSL observers hoping to know more about the North Carolina's sudden decision to fire coach Sean Nahas didn't get many details Thursday.

From numerous angles, media tried to get more information on why the NC Courage fired Sean Nahas last night.

Other than 10 uses of the phrase "a multitude of factors," the Courage had remarkably little to say about a huge change one day before a game, & days after a 5-week break ended:

Yeah I think the tone was off. I understand they are limited in what they can say and that it has probably been a really tough 24 hours. But still!

headline of the century lmao

WELL THAT WAS WEIRD

That press conference left a lot more questions than answers and certainly isn't going to give anyone the impression that this was a normal, performance-based firing.

Closest thing to a direct answer in the Courage presser was when I asked if this was related to Nahas's absences in June (which were said to be health-related), comms said "We have no cause to say that the two are related."

Also: "We can't comment on process and it was a multitude of factors."

Comms at this point is answering more questions than Bowley himself, to say they won’t be answering further questions about internal processes leading to Nahas’s firing.

Nor tactical approach to the game, actually.

Someone start selling “multitude of factors” merch

Amazing/awful that he fell for this

She's Baaaaaack!

Naomi Osaka will play for a big title for the first time in over 3 years after defeating Clara Tauson, 6-2, 7-6⁷, in Montreal.

The 27yo, who is now guaranteed a seeding at the US Open, will play 18yo phenom Victoria Mboko in the championship match.

Definitely sudden.

If I had a dime for every time an #NWSL coach was mysteriously dismissed just days before their team traveled for a game in Houston... I’d have four dimes, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s now happened at least four times (Benstiti, Ward, Potter, Nahas)

The Courage have a road game in Houston in less than 48 hours. This timing and the wording of the statement indicate that this was a pretty sudden move.

Whoa.

agree to disagree. sykes' contract was up after this season. their focus is on the youth core. i think it's smart.

this was the last year of skyes contract; zero guarantee she would come back next season, and they were able to get a first-round pick for her; likely improve their draft position for next year in the process; they want to go all in on youth and build around the rookie core, this streamlines that

Still gives you options for trades, etc. And this trade makes it more likely they have better draft position.

i get why fans are sad about slim leaving but big picture i love this for them

i think the mystics are cooking

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WSJ OPINION The WNBA and Caitlin Clark's Civil Rights If the league won't act to protect its superstar from a hostile environment, the government should do so. By Sean McLean Aug. 3, 2025 at 11:38 am ET

WSJ OPINION Ms. Clark faces a textbook hostile work environment, as the Supreme Court described in Harris v. Forklift Systems (1993), with severe or pervasive conduct altering her conditions. Statistical disparities like those she faces often prompt federal probes and lawsuits. The precedent is clear: In Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine (1981), courts outlined disparate treatment under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, letting employees allege less favorable treatment than peers due to race-warranting investigation without direct animus. That shifts the burden to the employer to prove nondiscriminatory motive.

When I saw the headline I assumed the “civil rights” bit was going to be some clunky metaphor, but no, this WSJ columnist is sincerely urging Caitlin Clark to sue for reverse race discrimination under a hostile work environment theory www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Trinity Rodman 😭😭😭

That smile says it all—she’s back.

Ali Riley is officially off the SEI list 🙌

Not sure if a tournament has more consistently delivered bad penalties than this one.

Which, naturally, is a tournament won by England.

wow wow wow wow wow the pens at this tournament are truly… something and mostly something not good lmao
