Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
Mike Krukow was a 20 game winner for the @sfgiants and has been a longtime color analyst for the team with his former teammate Duane Kuiper. He has thoughts about the four Giants pitchers who hijacked Pride night last week.
“I would just hope they would understand the demographic of San Francisco and respect people for who they are. What you do to your uniform, that has weight to it. You can offend people. And why would you do that?”
Mike's son Wes is a dancer, is gay, and is married to his partner, Ted.
"“I’m so proud of him,” Krukow said. “I’ve seen gay life through my son’s eyes. The culture and the community is so beautiful.”"
I hope Landon Roupp, Ryan Walker, JT Brubaker, and Sam Hentges hold a conversation with Mike Krukow. Their choice has irritated and potentially alienated lot of the Giants fan base needlessly.
Regarding the verse, State Senator and Congressional Candidate for CA11 @Scott_Wiener had this to say:
"“To be clear, these players could have cited the rainbow bible verse on any of the other 364 days of the year. Instead, they chose to cite it only on Pride Night & only in connection with the rainbow Giants logo celebrating our LGBTQ community. There’s only one explanation for that choice — a choice the Giants tolerated,” Wiener wrote on social media. “It’s hard to envision the Giants tolerating this kind of behavior directed at any other community. The Giants can & must do better.”"
While the words of the Genesis verse sound inclusive, the Biblical and social contexts are not. God "gave" the rainbow in "mercy" after an apocalyptic flood wiped out most life on earth presumably to cleanse the earth of "sin" which reads like a threat to those these pitchers "morally" disagree with.
The "Reclaim the Rainbow" movement is curious- why does a natural phenomenon witnessed by all faiths and used metaphorically by the LGBTQ+ community need to be "reclaimed" as though it belongs only to Christians? And the "Reclaim the Rainbow" song makes it clear in homophobic lyrics what the "movement" is about- like these:
"What do you mean? They turned the rainbow to sin
But they don't know what it means
It is a promise, it isn't pride
God said He would no longer flood the Earth (flood the Earth)
Now it's for abominations
When they put their flags outside those churches..."
The @sfgiants need to do better, on and off the field. Their on field struggles might be more tolerable if they showed more tolerance.

They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.
There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.
If you knew the back story(ies), you would cry too.
Raúl Jiménez has played at four World Cups. Across Brazil, Russia and Qatar, he never scored a single goal. Today, on home soil at the Estadio Azteca, that finally changed. And the moment broke him.
The tears obviously carried years. In March 2026, just three months ago, Jiménez lost his father Raúl Jiménez Vega to pancreatic cancer at the age of 62. He was a pivotal figure in his son's career. That goal was for him.
And there was more beneath it. In 2020, playing for Wolves against Arsenal, Jiménez fractured his skull in a collision with David Luiz. He lay unconscious on the pitch while teammates and family feared the worst.
It took emergency surgery and eight months to return. He still wears the protective headband today. Many of us thought it was over back then. 6 years later, at 35, Jimenez’s story is still being written.
Just think about it. A near-fatal injury, a grieving son and a 12-year wait for one World Cup goal, finally answered in front of his own people.
This is why we watch football. Not for the trophies. For the human underneath. Don’t you just love it.

I too used to trash this film. But the older I
Got I realized how much it sets up.
My favorite being that it sets up Darth Vader being one of the best pilots in the galaxy. They mention that a lot in the films about how nice he is with flying
And little Anakin being the first human to win a pod race is the first sign of that.
The things marketed for kids are obvious and that’s why people hate it but it’s for a new generation.
It gave us duel of the fates. Dual sided lightsabers. And it’s still f*** jar jar binks
And Darth maul who’s just MONEY
the people who said “make comedy legal again” and sold tee shirts with george floyd being choked to death on them is now pearl clutching about a charlie kirk joke lmao
The Giants and some city officials announced that a portion of the Bay Bridge (basically from Treasure Island to the ballpark) has been renamed the Willie Mays Highway. Today would have been his 95th birthday.
