@tom_turk @AnneMAnderson @emilyehman @bigten @BadgerVB @Huskervball @B1GVolleyball @BigTenNetwork It was so bad. I hope they sent her home or she did some research on which conference is playing and which team is which.

@BigTenNetwork Please send your volleyball commentator home. She said PAC 10, misnamed the team serving the ball, and now announced Nebraska as the winner of the match and BIG Ten Champions

@sarasidnerCNN Please keep telling our story Sara. Minnesota is a horrible place for IBPOC communities. We need change. Now!

[Kate Whitby @KateEWhitby]

@sarasidnerCNN Thank you Sara for elevating our trauma and showing the world. We need your voice.

[Kate Whitby @KateEWhitby]

The city of Minneapolis and the state of MN are relentless in their harm of IBPOC communities. This isn’t shocking. This isn’t anything new. This business as usual. Shame on all of them for sitting at the memorial last week and pretending to care. We see you.

[Sara Sidner @sarasidnerCNN]

The #GeorgeFloyd memorial is being dismantled in Minneapolis as I write this. City workers showed up & began clearing the streets focusing on the community garden built in the intersection. Resident Billy Briggs took this video before folks knew now tempers are flaring.

@Layshiac Thank you. Welcome to Minnesota!

[Kate Whitby @KateEWhitby]

@paulgazelka Super embarrassing that you are so out of touch with the state that you serve.

For those of you who don’t live in the Minneapolis area, you need to know the following:

1) Our city and some neighboring communities have been placed under a large-scale military occupation.

In my 25 years as a reporter I have NEVER heard police in America actually say “journalists will be arrested” during a protests. But that happened in #BrooklynCenter last night. We stayed. The citizens are why we stay. I took this moments aft the announcement #DaunteWright

@mayor_elliott please fire former officer Kim Potter. Now!!!

[Big Ten Network @BigTenNetwork]

She's about to make #MarchMadness history.

Today, @LisaByington will become the first woman to announce a NCAA men's tourney game.

Before the historic call, the Big Ten Network family (and a former famous @NorthwesternU classmate) wanted to offer our congratulations. 🎊
