This #SpiritDay — and every day — we must stand up to hate and intolerance. It’s up to all of us to ensure every young person is affirmed and accepted just as they are — regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

WNBA finals up & if I'm not mistaken, NWSL had largest viewership numbers ever.

Turns out, women's sports continuing to grow.

I NEVER post about politics. However, I argue this, for me, isn't about "left" and "right". RBG, thank you for being the strong, powerful female I looked to as a role model when I was a young woman (and today!). I will forever admire your intelligence and kindness. Rest in Peace

I commend the players on the @Bucks for standing up for what they believe in, coaches like @DocRivers, and the @NBA and @WNBA for setting an example. It’s going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values.
