@thebodyserve.bsky.social 1st-Timer at NBO Toronto this week, I see graphs around promoting a gradual goal to achieve prize money gender equity by 2027β€½ Is this a campaign you can educate listeners on? Why all the drip-drip-drip instead of just turning on both faucets and paying women equal now?

So, BBC allegedly chose not to renew Nick Kyrgios after an internal revolt.

But... they knew all of this when they hired him last year.

The only thing different is that he's been an a-hole to Jannik Sinner since then.

Now, suddenly, his brand of dickery is no longer "good for the game."

One of the guys on 'Hang Up and Listen' insisting Jannik Sinner is 'the villain' in the rivalry because most of the French crowd were cheering for Alcaraz. But like who hates this face? Who can get angry at a pale kid with absolutely no rizz.
