Bald guy named Mac is by far the best character in Predator. Not surprising.

Can we stop pretending FIFA cares about human rights yet? It's just in the reputation laundering business.

There weren't a ton of featherweights around Eastern Canada in the 1960s. Here's Art Hafey (left) of Stellarton and Angus Martin of Baie St. Anne meeting each other for the third time in just over a year. Art won this meeting in Fredericton in 1969, squaring them up at 1-1-1 for the trilogy.

Helping out a documentarian tomorrow re: boxing in history of Pictou County. Here's Percy Paris (right) of New Glasgow meeting former lightweight champ Beau Jack in January 1949. This was in Boston where both guys had just won bouts. (Clipping from the Clarion, 26 Jan 1949)

Let's build more radical spaces for sport studies, centering and prioritizing human rights.

Really?! What happens to the icing? It doesn't melt? I've been straight out of the package for 40 years

Just noticed that a prominent publisher is attributing an article I wrote for them to a different author...This required someone to go in and make the change. The new (and false) author they list happens to be a copy editor at a popular American newspaper. Wonder if my work was on their CV?

Who could have predicted this other than everyone?

Yikes

Donors in Canada take note

Patricia Hill Collins poses an important question for many academics pursuing social transformation. "How does one sustain a project that is explicitly dedicated to social transformation within an institution that has minimal interest in that expressed outcome?"

Heck of a season for the Jays.

And Rogers is having technical difficulties with their stream...😓

Yukon Catholic Schools may have to cut education, culture, health, and social supports for Indigenous children following the federal government's abrupt changes to Jordan's Principle funding.

Oh. Oh dear.

NBA gambling scandal shines harsh light on US sports’ embrace of betting Two sweeping federal indictments have implicated big names in basketball and raised uncomfortable questions about who benefits from legalized gambling

Hope the Future of Sport in Canada Commission is paying attention to the NBA gambling scandal. I hope all the national sports organizations clamoring for a cut of gambling money in Canada are too.

Disability advocate attempts to live on a food budget of about $6.67 per day for a month Reese Ketler, an offensive player for Canada’s wheelchair Rugby team, challenged himself to live on a food budget of about $6.67 per day for a month.

Congrats! 😊
