In the past 18 months, @xx_xyathletics has become a prominent and polarizing symbol, appearing at school board meetings, youth sporting events, and the U.S. Open.

Founder @JenniferSey says critics have helped her athletic brand grow even faster.

Ordered this in a fugue state last night

[Ali Donaldson @AliCDonaldson]

Love to see Phoebe Bridgers expanding the phone-free rule to her entire tour.

The lack of phones made last night’s show was one of the most special and intimate I’ve ever been to, and MSG pulled off the logistics flawlessly.

I hope more artists follow her lead.

Phoebe Bridgers has announced The Lost Tour with support from Alex G and Isaac Wood!

Each show will be phone-free, using Yondr pouches that will be unlocked when leaving the venue.

what an odd way to describe cheating on the mother of your two toddler children and having her find out about her own divorce through the press as she was coming off the field from practice. 0 world cup minutes played btw not sure what’s warranting a documentary here

Current New York vibe heading into tonight:

[Mikael @BacardiCapital]

Is anyone interested in attending the Knicks game tonight for free?

I'm still looking for 3-4 more people to join us. We can pregame at Stout and will walk over to MSG where we'll watch the game in a suite

If interested please DM me. Preferably someone with suite tickets or even just tickets, otherwise we can't go.

0/8 - This is the first Grand Slam event without a former Major champion featuring in both the Men's and Women's semifinal lineups since the French Open 1977. Chance.

[Court Theory 🎾 @Court_Theory]

Is it too soon to talk about how Venus and Serena are positioning themselves to end their careers with gold medals around their necks in their hometown of Los Angeles in 2028?

.@BenRothenberg is always worth reading but this one is especially good

[Ben Rothenberg @BenRothenberg]

Because it was time to address the dark clouds overhead at #RolandGarros:

I wrote about how Alexander Zverev is almost certainly going to win the French Open, and how people around the sport are feeling about that likelihood.

.@Venuseswilliams on @serenawilliams's return to tennis: "The quality of her stroke is obviously there; she's, I think, a little bit of a natural... she's very tenacious. So, I'm not worried about how she's going to play." ⤵️

Kalshi's first example of a small business using it as hedging tool is The Jeffrey, an NYC bar that's promising free drinks to all customers if New York Knicks wins NBA Finals Game 1 on Wednesday

Good news travels fast.

Hot take:

They should convert Central Park into an NBA arena for the NBA finals.

[Kyle Zorn @Kyle_Zorn]

New York sports right now:

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

The US Open ticket rush began Tuesday during an AmEx presale, but tickets quickly disappeared as fans reacted to rising resale prices.

Only “Verified Resale Tickets” remain on Ticketmaster, with grounds passes now running at roughly four times face value.
