After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

@LandonHall He is writing a column about 10 trans athletes total out of 200,000 in Washington state.. it’s a publicity stunt for the right.. just admit it already Matt you don’t care about woman’s sports you’re a grifter..
@Softykjr There is like 10 trans athletes (out of 200,000) in all of Washington competing in any of the WIAA sanctioned sports.. Why do people feel the need to care this much??

@BandoKnowsBall The @nfl should merge with the @UFLgame and the worst teams get relegated to the UFL and the best teams stay in the NFL.
Bottom 4 from each NFL division go to UFL
AFC
Jets 3-14
Browns 5-12
Titans 3-14
Raiders 3-14
NFC
Giants 4-13
Lions 9-8
Saints 6-11
Cardinals 3-14
