The NBA team that plays 30min away from where I’ve lived for the last 13yrs, aka the @spurs, has got me watching and learning NBA ball. Lesson 1. If your team gets a call or does something aggressive, it’s legit & justified. If the other team does, they’re dirty and the refs suck
Almost fell for it. Being married into a @spurs diehard family while being a lifelong @NBA hater, i almost fell in love with the last sport i don’t watch. “Almost”. Fuck basketball.

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.
The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.
Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.
If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.
What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.
What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?
There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?
The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.
That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.
So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.
There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.
To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle
Don’t murder a baby and people won’t talk shit. And don’t act like the attention wasn’t more important than the child. You’re getting exactly what you wanted

These two terminated the birth of their baby at 21 weeks because they found out the baby had Down Syndrome.
They recorded reactions and monetized it then complained about backlash saying they are "grieving the loss of their unborn baby" you killed the unborn child!
I hate these people
@TheStarGaz3rr Until he is the best LT he can be, there will be criticism and coaching. Left tackle for the Cowboys carries an extremely high standard, as does 1st round OL pick.
When Wemby win finals MVP and the Spurs are NBA Champs, conservative fans and liberal fans alike will embrace and share a reason to celebrate. That is unification. Pro athletes unite through their game, not their commentary.
Gregg Popovich spent years preaching politics. Now Victor Wembanyama is the face of the franchise and the message sounds awfully familiar.
The Spurs are headed to the NBA Finals, but instead of uniting fans around basketball, they’re still dividing them with politics.
The year is 2026….AI and other forms of technology have improved basically every walk of life. Each day some random person finds a way to make something better…yet the Freebird guitar solo remains top of its class. Unrepeatable/unbeatable.
Exclusive: New #Cowboys CB Cobie Durant's goal for himself and Dallas' defense is fairly simple:
"Just create takeaways and get the ball back to Dak. Let Dak do what he do."
