We’ve officially lost the plot 🤯
So here’s how it works:
•Fed court rulings have left a legal loophole open
•Select rookies and players in NFL training camp are allowed to return to college to play ball
•Player must file or join a lawsuit against NCAA to obtain a temporary restraining order (tro) or preliminary injunction citing anti-trust or eligibility rule discrepancies
•Player must terminate their contract with the NFL
•Player must repay any signing bonus or guaranteed money received from their NFL franchise prior to stepping back on a collegiate field
•Find an open roster spot and navigate the transfer portal
Why is this allowed?
•Fed court rulings have successfully challenged the NCAAs definitions of anti-trust laws and eligibility rules
•Five seasons in five years
•5-for-5 sounds good but the NCAA excluded certain older classes from retroactively receiving that year
•Ultimately ruled as a breach of “good faith” and unfair exclusion
•As a result judges began granting injunctions
•No more amateurism in the NCAA
•The power of those TROs
The NCAA IS fighting back: 😤
•They won their federal case (wisne v. ncaa)
•They may have won the broad battle but they can’t easily stop local state judges
•They have to appeal every individual state case now
•Their win in appellate court has slowed down the masses but there is no final resolution to this
Will this get wrapped up by 8/29?
•Chances are virtually zero
•NFL teams have to trim their rosters to 53 guys on 8/30
•Rookies have until about 9/1 to be released from their pro contracts and return to campus
•Players cut on 8/30 can leverage local courts to get back on a college roster which means lots of emergency lawsuits for week 1
I think I covered most of this as broadly as I can. I’m sure someone out there knows more than me so please add to this thread 👇🏻
Actaully I’d love to interview an expert on my show about this if anyone is willing to be interviewed.
I think it would be great info to get out to the masses 🙌🏻
I keep hearing, “The WNBA was built on the backs of Black women.”
Respect the pioneers—but what exactly did you build?
For 27 years there were no massive TV/media deals, no full-time charter travel, limited mainstream attention, and plenty of empty seats.
Then Caitlin Clark arrived.
Her popularity helped drive record viewership, attendance, merchandise sales and unprecedented attention—and the league responded with historic media deals and charter travel.
That’s not erasing history. That’s acknowledging growth.
Black women helped build the foundation.
But Caitlin Clark helped turn that foundation into a cultural and commercial explosion.
So stop asking who was here first.
Ask who changed the trajectory.
“Trump raped kids on epstein island”
No, that was Bill Clinton
“Paxton helped a pedophile”
No, that was Tim Walz
“Trump insider traded”
No, that was Nancy Pelosi
“Don Jr did coke and paid hookers!”
No, that was Hunter Biden
“Trump pardoned his family because he is corrupt!”
No, that was Joe Biden
“Elon Musk bought the election”
No, that was George Soros
“Donald Trump ruined the economy”
No, that was Joe Biden
“Donald Trump destroyed healthcare”
No, that was Obama
“Republicans did this”
No, that was Democrats

Teenage girls went to a basketball game in my backyard(Seattle) wearing t-shirts.
According to journalist Brandi Kruse, who was there, they were cussed at, berated and deliberately tripped by adults. By fans. Reportedly with a team owner in the vicinity.
For wearing a shirt.
And here is the part that should stop everyone cold. The shirt said XX and XY. That is the female karyotype and the male karyotype. It is what is printed in every biology textbook in every classroom in this country. Rare chromosomal disorders exist and produce no third sex, because there is no third gamete. There never has been.
They were tripped over a fact you learn in ninth grade.
The Storm have said nothing. The WNBA has said nothing. A league that markets itself relentlessly on love, inclusion and belonging watched grown adults go after teenage girls in its own building, and could not locate a statement.
Imagine the press release if those girls had worn anything else.
They were there to support Sophie Cunningham, who said she believes girls should not have to compete against males, and that she offers truth alongside love, not hate. They held signs saying thank you for speaking up for girls.
That is what earned them a foot in the aisle.
I live here, and I am done pretending I do not recognize the pattern, because it is the same attitude that is killing this city.
City leadership that treats the businesses employing our neighbors as the enemy. Open drug use on sidewalks where children walk to school. A homelessness crisis everyone can see and nobody in power will honestly name. Every one of those is a problem you fix by looking straight at reality, and this is a city that has made not looking into a civic religion.
Compassion is the branding. Conformity is the product. Agree and you are family. Step half an inch outside the consensus and the warmth evaporates fast enough to give you whiplash.
Seattle used to be the most beautiful place I had ever lived. It is being run into the ground by a fringe that mistakes volume for virtue, and the ordinary people who live here are paying for it.
But there is no version of this where adults tripping teenage girls is the righteous side of anything.
If your movement requires shoving fourteen year olds over a chromosome chart, you have lost the argument and you are simply angry about it.
And a housekeeping note for the franchise. You are 6 and 23. Dead last. The worst record in professional women's basketball.
Maybe spend less energy policing what teenagers wear to the arena and more on the part where you cannot win a game.
Say something, Seattle. Those were somebody's kids. 🦋
