Van Lathan, co-host of Higher Learning podcast, reacts to transphobic remarks by WNBA athlete Sophie Cunningham

"If you cannot gift trans people with visibility, humanity, and acceptance, could you at least gift them with silence? Could you at least shut the fu## up about it? Could you at least leave them the fu## alone?"

You guys are doing your victory lap on this shit, fucking up the country. You mean to tell me there are wars happening in the Middle East, food prices are crazy, like the environment is in the shitter, we can't eat lettuce without crap in our pants, all of this stuff, and you still picking on these people after all of this time?”

The first NAACP official ever killed for civil rights work was taken from his home AT NIGHT by the police.

Elbert Williams. Brownsville, Tennessee. June 1940. He and a small circle had begun organizing Black voter registration in a county where no Black citizen had voted in decades.

One night, officers including the town's night marshal, came to his door and took him away in his nightclothes for "questioning."

His body was found in the Hatchie River three days later.

He was buried within HOURS, in haste, without an autopsy. No inquest worth the name. The Justice Department opened a file and quietly closed it in 1942 without a single charge.

Elbert Williams' name deserves to be remembered, not as a footnote, but as one of the first martyrs of the modern civil rights movement.

His story is one of many that never received justice. Our book documents 150 real cases of racial violence, cover-ups, and unanswered injustices that history has too often overlooked.

It shouldn’t but it still amazes me that the president of the United States doesn’t understand how trade works. He thinks that if he banned imports from Switzerland, our country would somehow gain $40 billion.
This is idiocy. But the people who elected him are idiots, so …

At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, eight women failed the chromosome test because they carried Y chromosomes. All were allowed to compete after it was shown they had hormonal conditions that had prevented them from going through a typically male development.

By the 2000 Olympics, international sports bodies had abandoned the chromosome test and reverted to ad hoc medical examinations.

A Mets rookie jumped, kicked his legs apart, and slapped the grass after his first career strikeout, and half of baseball called it disrespectful to the game. Here's who he actually is, because once you know the story, "respect the game" starts to sound like the disrespectful part.

His name is Jefry Yan. He's a 29-year-old rookie. Read that again: 29, and a rookie, in a sport where most careers are over by then. He signed his first pro contract in 2013, at 16. Then he spent more than four years completely out of affiliated baseball. Out. Not in the minors, not rehabbing, out of the sport. The Miami Marlins rediscovered him pitching in a men's beer league in Arizona in 2021. A beer league. The kind you play in after your dream is supposed to be dead.

From there: Single-A, Double-A, a stint in Japan with the Seibu Lions, the Dominican Winter League, Triple-A Syracuse, and finally, thirteen years after he signed, his major league debut Wednesday night in Cleveland. He struck out the first batter he faced and did the celebration he's done at every stop of that thirteen-year climb.

Now the "unwritten rules" crowd wants him to tone it down. And here's where the whole "respect the game" argument collapses on itself.

The celebration isn't disrespect. It's the most respectful thing on the field, because it's the only honest one. Yan explained it himself: he wants to play like it's a kids' game, like he always has. This is a man who was told the game didn't want him, went to a beer league, and clawed back over thirteen years. The joy is not an act. It's the accumulated release of a decade of being nobody. Asking him to suppress it to look professional is asking him to pretend the climb didn't cost what it cost.

Baseball's "respect the game" ethic has always had this problem buried inside it. The unwritten rules police celebration hardest, and they disproportionately police the players who celebrate the way Latin players celebrate. Yan is Dominican. The flat-affect, act-like-you've-been-there ideal was built by and for a specific culture of the sport, and it has spent decades treating the expressiveness common in Dominican and Venezuelan baseball as a violation. Bat flips got the same treatment until the league finally realized it was marketing gold and started selling the highlights.

Here's the tell that the "disrespect" framing is empty. His own manager, Andy Green, said he doesn't fear teams taking offense, because Yan's reputation preceded him. The people inside the game aren't offended. The offense is almost entirely from the outside, from the guardians of an etiquette that was never really about respect. It was about conformity, dressed up as respect.

And notice what nobody's disputing: the man throws 101. He threw the eight fastest pitches any Met has thrown all year in a single inning. He earned the mound the hard way and the stuff is real. The celebration isn't covering for a lack of substance. It's sitting on top of a fastball that touches 101 and a story most players would have quit on at year three.

So the real question isn't why Jefry Yan gets a pass. It's why we ever decided joy needed one.

The game doesn't get disrespected by a man celebrating the thing he waited thirteen years and one beer league to do. It gets disrespected by pretending that celebration is the problem.
