White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Jaedyn Shaw's Redemption Arc Is Underway | Defector “Gotham’s one of the best teams in the league,” Sofia Huerta told the broadcast after her Seattle Reign managed to hold the accelerating side to a scoreless draw. “Third place, really hard team to…

Part of investment is investing in refereeing. I know it doesn't feel like it, but the refs and players are more aligned than not. These owners will suppress wages and hire the less qualified refs to save 10 bucks. That's a problem. Well trained and paid refs are the best refs. Imperfect, but good.

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

it's frustrating when front office people talk about poor refereeing as if it's just a thing everyone complains about. everyone complains about traffic, but that doesn't mean there aren't underlying issues that make it worse. the standard of officiating is bad and dangerous, and has been for years.

NEW YORK AND TORONTO (October 6, 2025) –– The IIHF, the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), and the global women’s hockey community have come together to reimagine the international calendar, aligning around a shared vision to grow the women’s game and strengthen opportunities for players at every level. As part of this collaboration, the IIHF Women’s World Championship will move to a new November timeslot, in advance of the PWHL season. The revised tournament calendar ensures there will be no clash with the closing stages of the PWHL campaign. It also enables a full World Championship program in Olympic seasons. In addition, a new European Women’s Championship is set to start in April 2027, creating more opportunities for elite international competition, ensuring the development of women players throughout the entire season, and elevating visibility for women’s hockey across Europe.

wait, international governing bodies and pro leagues can just... align their calendars because they think it will improve the sport? what a concept.

Good morning and Happy Game Day!

Gotham appears to be back on track, Jacqui Ovalle helps Orlando end its 10-match winless streak and Gift Monday keeps doing incredible things for Washington.

One of my first experiences covering Cathy Engelbert as WNBA commissioner was when she named gun violence as the main reason why the league refused to open up a Chance the Rapper concert to the public during All-Star weekend in Chicago. Didn’t get much buzz at the time but always stuck with me.
