@WorldWideWob Tiago Splitter was the 28th pick in the 2007 draft (Spurs). Oden 1st, Durant 2nd.

The “case-by-case” approach to eligibility policy. Reasonable for rare instances. But unreasonable critics make for headaches, to say the least.

[Jeff Kassouf @JeffKassouf]

#NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman spoke at halftime. She declined to explicitly confirm her widely reported contract extension ("I'm gonna still say that I intend to be here.") and was asked (Q: @JasonDCsoccer) about the league's gender policy. Berman's full answer.

Social class remains the bigger problem pressing upon the fairness of elite women’s soccer in North America, it seems to me.

Those who seek meritocracy should concentrate on lowering barriers to access to the sport.

@LauraGomezNews I’m eager to know more. The first half of the season must have been her most successful for the Dash.

.@NWSL’s @HoustonDash has a trio of new moms recovering to the pitch faster than ever before — thanks to their secret weapon.

“I don't want the players to ever wonder what could have been if I had really done it right,” the team’s head physical therapist tells @DanaJacobson.

@JeffKassouf Marta started for Umeå in that 2007 final against Arsenal.

Could she face this Arsenal squad at the 2026 FIFA women’s championship cup? Orlando will play for the concacaf title next year. This year it’s Gotham v Tigres

More load management = more intensity as subs go full gas = more injuries

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW with @KuperSimon

The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong.

Players don’t play more football than in the past. What has changed is a sharp rise in intensity of play.

Not more minutes, but each minute exerts more load.

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

@WorldWideWob 3 rebounds in an overtime pivotal game. Clippers owned boards and had better team defense all season. Draymond not a defensive player of the year, clearly.

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

“The trade changed Luka.” Nico Harrison must come to this conclusion if Lakers win a trophy. The emotion we see will support this scenario. A counterfactual

[Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA]

New Zach Lowe Show! @TheSteinLine on Luka's vengeance, more on how/why the trade happened, where Dallas goes from here. Then @kirkgoldsberry on All-Rookie, Sixth Man, COY, more:

What a win for Angel City interim coach Sam Laity. When he coached the Dash in 2023 they had one of the best defenses in the league; shredded them today

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

@Jophko1 @JeffKassouf …who opened the door to the Boston Red Soccers, had they dared 😆

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

@JeffKassouf Will the stadium be equipped for a fall/spring calendar, if the league ever went that direction?

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

Kyrie regretting that new haircut like Samson

[Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA]

What are you even supposed to say about what is going on with the Mavs right now? This is an NBA apocalypse.

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

@NBA Traveling (right foot)?

[Grant Wiedenfeld @SportParade]

Yohannes’ second fine ‘sombrero’ pass behind the defense, as they call it on Universo. Y gol

Rude welcome to the senior national stage for McKeown. Colombia agresiva
