My grandma was such a passionate, fierce, strong, loving women! So was so passionate about everything she did especially being a Republican chairman. She truly loved everyone no matter what, she made everyone feel so special and part of her family. Love you forever grandma rose❤️

Be better and actually support each other. Create a culture that supports others and doesn’t tear them down.

[Troy Cameron @TCam_FSUSB]

Struggling with a sport wide issue: Not just softball but across all sports. Since when is it ok to disrespect sport & opponents by letting your team talk trash to the opposition, have cheers that disrespect your opponent! Root for YOUR team, cheer for your TEAM, RESPECT sport!

[Shannon Guthrie @CoachShannonG19]

I can’t sit by while our nation’s best athletes compete with all their hearts just to be shamed from someone sitting in the bleachers or hiding behind a screen. We are still suffering the heartbreak of losing a player, shouting how we need to change. Let’s show it!

[Danielle Gibson Whorton @DanielleGibsonW]

Just a reminder, if you’re a fan… your job is to cheer on the athletes, not put them down when they fail. Uplift and encourage them to show them their true worth. Too many comments/interactions with inappropriate fan behavior. These athlete’s standards are high enough as is!❤️🫶🏼

[Hannah Nilges @HannahNilges]

As a current college bball player what I think we need to push more is this:
*you can be a great basketball player AND a great teammate*
too often athletes are told to only worry about their game. I disagree.
Worry about ur people. Check on ur people.
Care about ur people.

Our hearts go out to our softball community. Always enjoy the game, have fun, and be there for each other. #LB22 #SoftballFamily
