The NY Times wrote a review of the year in sports that mentioned Slaying the Trolls and quoted the amazing @nefwalker (twice!!).

And once again... Slaying the Trolls is a great holiday present! (just saying!)

[David Berri @wagesofwins]

Today seems like a good day!

Slaying the Trolls was mentioned in the New York Times (thanks @NefWalker ) and I had my 100th publication accepted (100 if you count journal articles, book chapters and actual published books!).

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

The 🐐, @BillieJeanKing, talks the tournament that bears her name, why tennis scoring is stupid (her words, not ours!), how she & her wife @ilanakloss helped spark the PWHL into existence, and why athletes must understand the business side of sport.

Hope everyone enjoys our interview (@NefWalker and I)
with @SarahSpain

Sarah begins with the amazing blurb she wrote for Slaying the Trolls! It was so much fun talking about the book with her!

[Nef @NefWalker]

@Doc_Melton Thanks friend!

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

Ever wish you had the perfect, well-researched response to “Nobody watches women’s sports”?

@wagesofwins & @NefWalker talk about their book, “Slaying the Trolls” & offer up facts & data to help women’s sports fans shut down false & illogical arguments.

USA Today columnist, best-selling author and longtime commentator Christine Brennan joins “Good Game” to talk about her reporting on Caitlin Clark & her responsibility as part of the WNBA media landscape.

[Caroline Fitzgerald @goalscaroline]

Everyone watches women's sports - and @togethxr even sold $3 million worth of its iconic "Everyone Watches Women's Sports" shirt to prove it.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

This was an EXCELLENT conversation. Sarah asked effective, thoughtful questions, and put on a masterclass in interviewing. I’ve known Christine for years and have admired her work, but I was extremely disappointed in her interview with Dijonai Carrington. While I don’t think her WNBA credentials should be revoked, l do understand why the players questioned her intent.

Anyway, this podcast is very much worth your time.

@ktrain_11 @wagesofwins Thanks boss!!
