I’ve watched over 200 times now and I fear I’ll watch 20x a day for weeks like Donovan Edwards 75 yard run in the 2022 game.

On this day in Detroit Tigers history:

Armando Galarraga had his perfect game cut short on what should have been the final out on June 2, 2010.

So wait, there ARE differences between men and women?

[Breitbart News @BreitbartNews]

WOKE OVERLOAD: Democrat lawmakers Yassamin Ansari, Adelita Grijalva, and Rashida Tlaib recently held a press conference on how much their periods hurt -- and how it is "economic violence" when employers don't pay women to stay home from work when they are menstruating.

It’s 1991 and you’ve just popped the TMNT VHS into the VCR and this comes on:

[Jordan Gehrke @Gehrke]

@showtimeluka That's a perfectly executed pump fake and a foul after the defender bit on it. There's a reason every coach in America tells kids "Don't leave your feet."

I can't stand the SGA flopping either, but that's NOT a flop.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:

Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.

Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.

It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.

And that is insane.

This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.

She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.

No.

Her attitude is not the story.

The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.

This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”

That is what this looks like.

The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.

And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.

Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.

You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.

Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.

Fans are not stupid.

They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:

Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.

At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:

How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?

Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.

It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

Wemby is our generations Lafayette. In a time of great need, a French teenager/ young adult came to America and helped lead his new adopted country to victory against tyranny (foul baiting unethical OKC bullshit)

@iamrahstradamus Especially since his footwork and midrange are clearly modeled on Kobe—whose game everybody loved.

I've never asked people to share a Live Free episode before.

I would ask you to share this episode we did on @jamestalarico (that's pushing ~700k views across all platforms).

What he's doing requires a level of theological awareness to understand, which is why he's deceptive to a lot of Christians.

🚨🚨THIS IS AWESOME🚨🚨

#Bears owner George McCaskey has gone viral for volunteering as a youth baseball umpire and high school football referee in Illinois.

George has officiated youth sports for nearly 50 years.

McCaskey is worth nearly $1 billion.

We've felt it on the ground, now confirmed in the primary's first public poll - @ZachLahn leads @RandyFeenstra. Turns out hiding in your basement & ducking voters isn't a winning strategy. Go figure. The only person more disappointed than Randy about these numbers is @RobSandIA.

“Oh, cool, y’all are planning a big get-together for the President’s birthday?”

“No, it’s a protest.”

“So, large crowds will gather in his name across the nation on the day of his birth?”

“Don’t say it like that.”

“And there will be a cool concert?”

“A protest concert!”

“And people will have watch parties for the birthday concert? Kinda like a reality show dedicated to him?”

“No!”

“Will there be cake?”

“I hate you.”
