Students just discussed first half of The End of College Football by @nkalamb.bsky.social and @derekcrim.bsky.social and they're like... "can it be this grim?" while also saying, "yeah, some of this happens to us too" or "I was told that [FB team] basically makes it possible for me to be here"

This was a brilliant and at times devastatingly harrowing discussion that everyone should listen to.

New Episode: Kick Israel out of FIFA

Check out the entire conversation with @leylahamed.bsky.social, Abubaker Abed, Roger Waters, @scotsport4pal.bsky.social, @shireenahmed.bsky.social, @nkalamb.bsky.social and others on why Israel must be banned from global sport.

More on this story: European sources CONFIRM several football associations are pushing for the vote to take place next week. If it passes, Israel would most likely be KICKED OUT of all international football competitions. Next week could change history.

Leyla provides further confirmation.

Uefa members in favour of banning Israel from European football next week Pressure has ramped up on European football’s governing body after protests and the UN Commission’s declaration of genocide in Gaza exclusive

It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.

I have heard this independently confirmed from another source.

Ep. 168 Canada is Trying to Deport a Future Olympian

@nkalamb.bsky.social talks to Aidan Simardone about Canada's dehumanizing immigration policies and how they are leading the country to try to deport a future Olympian.

open.spotify.com/episode/5be8...

CNN Business piece reads: “For example, Canadian independent journalist Rachel Gilmore posted that she is "terrified" about retaliation from Kirk's "far-right fans" after the shooting. That post is the first listed on the anonymous website, including a part where Gilmore said she hoped Kirk survives. She said in a video online that she did not celebrate Kirk's death and said she hoped he survives in another post. She also said she received a "tsunami" of threats and called the last 48 hours of her life "a living hell."”

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week.

I feel so awful for everyone on this site.

I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life.

But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves.

I’m so worried.

These universities are an absolute disgrace.

Cartoon on cover of National Post showing a club with the word extremism breaking a tennis racket under the heading Davis Cup fracas

This is nothing more than a smear. The National Post and CIJA are collaborating to sportwash a genocidal state and they are defaming anti-violence protesters to do it.

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this.

I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder.

I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post.

These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose.

This is really bad.

the terrifying reality of living in an age of misinformation is that it’s often more important to be the first to convey information than it is to convey accurate information

First, unionize. Second, read your contract section on force reduction.

It’s incredible to see praxis in action, but more work is to be done.

CBC is sportswashing genocide by broadcasting this.

Tennis Canada is sportswashing genocide by hosting it.

CANCEL THE MATCH.

Davis Cup Tie in Halifax to be Played in a Closed Venue Format

Absolutely cowardly stuff and, frankly, an admission that holding the match is wrong.

Genocide deniers seem to have no shame (and are incredibly sloppy).

This is defamatory, which is likely the least of the issues for organizers.

I did not sign this disgusting letter.

Kalman-Lamb and Silva argue: Cancel College Football

"The simple fact is that Moh Ahmed’s demands carry more weight than nearly every legal scholar combined. That’s the potential power of an athletic boycott."

Rebecca O'Keeffe and I argue we need to work with athletes to ban Israel from all international sports now, before it's too late.

El Jones: Halifax mayor has long history of complicity with Israel.

Absolutely disgraceful

This event should not be taking place.

It’s as simple as that.

Holding it means you’re complicit in genocide.

Listen to this, then listen again.
