When we started The Athletic, the idea was to bring sports fans into every little crevice of the sports they love by hiring great people in every stadium in the world.

Evan, Jamie, and team are doing that for something way messier and important: local politics.

[Brady Evan Burns @evanburns]

More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem.

We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States.

Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow.

@StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that.

We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible.

In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively.

Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

@kerrodgraygolf can you explain what you mean a bit more? is it just the fact that you use lead hand to drive to the top vs. using/feeling your trail hand to get it into place?

[Alex Mather @amather]

@micsolana agree, but you do have to admit that this is way more fun than race, class, actual wars.

@mttgrmm @garrytan he's failed the Birds Purity Test. shameful.

[Alex Mather @amather]

@chadmumm you sir, are living the dream.

[Alex Mather @amather]

@ZBerm Now let's try an OC who was a head coach. Less likely to be immediately plucked given previous failure at the top job.

[Alex Mather @amather]

You're a saint for replying to all these folks. "Show me the paper" / "trust the science" folks are simply misinterpreting the problem.

These papers are asking if there is population-level benefit to preventively screen vs. tons of systemic tradeoffs.

N of 1 math of "should I screen my body" is VERY different.

[Alex Mather @amather]

@stevemagness and even when mastered, it takes another two years to hone "wiping."

[Alex Mather @amather]

This is so unbelievably good. Captures the inner struggles of excellence really well. I feel for A.J. and understand him better now.

[Brooks Kubena @BKubena]

Beneath all the speculation and red-alert headlines, A.J. Brown is chasing greatness — on his terms.

If you must understand anything about him, it’s why catching the football is existential.

And how he must manage its confines: https://t.co/h4mPH82Ff6

@SpikeEskin sort of like Kershaw last night. a little confidence boost for the boys.

[Alex Mather @amather]

@stevemagness in this case, an est $5-7m. 64 yrs of the mean household income in the US. should they not be subject to the most intense aspects of media?

im with you that boom or bust is silly, but that doesnt make it insane, unfair, dumb, or even premature. it comes with "being in the arena"

[Alex Mather @amather]

@stevemagness wrong. the "problem" is NIL money makes pre-mature anointments a feature, not a bug. they want the media, the hype, the cash. with that comes (like the money, often ridiculous) standards and accountability.
