Thank you @AUWCL for highlighting this non-traditional Law Prof work! It was a joy to write.

[American University Washington College of Law @AUWCL]

Prof. @njeremiduru recently co-authored “You Are My Favorite Story” with Prof. Shani King. Written by two fathers, the book celebrates the tenderness of fatherhood for young readers and their families. See more: https://t.co/smLnRZMmsE

Great piece here from @espn’s @Xuan_Thai on the recent legal victories former NFL head coaches Brian Flores and Jon Gruden have enjoyed in their respective lawsuits against the league.

It was a pleasure to be in conversation with her about it.

This is one of the most hard hitting leads I have read in quite some time. From @USATODAY’s @nrarmour: “It’s been a bad couple of days for the racists and bigots who thought Caitlin Clark was one of them.”

Very interesting that neither of the teams in the NBA Finals exceeded the league’s tax threshold and that they are ranked 25th (Thunder) and 18th (Pacers) in the league in payroll…

This story is not going to go away quickly. ⁦@JeffPassan⁩ and ⁦@DVNJr⁩ tend to do deep comprehensive investigative work. There will be more to come… https://t.co/Nu45fup0K0

Please read this excellent tribute to Jackie Robinson, written by @TroyVincentSr. It is a beautiful tribute to an extraordinary person at an important time in our nation’s history.

I was saddened to read this. I did not attend this school, but I know many families who sent their children there, and I gave a lecture there on the intersection of sport and society. We need more, not less, of the values the school stands for.

"Contract holdout in college football" is a phrase you never would have heard 5 years ago. It is a phrase you will hear a lot more frequently going forward.

Further disquiet and frustration among pro tennis players. And with the likes of Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff leading the charge, you know it will get traction. https://t.co/ArZVvngzm7

Another example of the growing backlash against the ubiquity of sports gambling https://t.co/QQOj4PzvFm

Its quite an intuitive technological advancement in bat making. Kinda hard to imagine why it didn't come about earlier....

What to make of MLB's torpedo bats: Valuable new technology or an early season fad? https://t.co/zzqfp0yLK2 via @@YahooSports

[N. Jeremi Duru @njeremiduru]

Very interesting. The Big East’s long-standing disadvantage (being basketball, rather than football, centric), now becomes its advantage with the House Settlement looming….

I wonder if punting on football will eventually become a thing of the past.

[N. Jeremi Duru @njeremiduru]

This is interesting.... 10 years ago, this would have seemed an impossibility. But the sports world has evolved so rapidly as of late, we can't discount the possibility.

The NFL GM and HC firing / hiring carousels are definitely in motion. Great piece from @JReidESPN here:

There is a longstanding debate as to whether e-sports qualify as “sport”. Does this impact the debate? https://t.co/wIkMW81iHL

[N. Jeremi Duru @njeremiduru]

Momentous moment.

Uh.... a felony? That's taking it a bit far, don't you think?
