I lead a group of 300+ HS football, basketball, baseball and softball officials, with 30 years of experience. I won’t shy away from calling out good and bad examples of sportsmanship. It’s important for the avocation of officiating and it’s important for the sports we care about.

@AdamKinzinger Martina could have played along but pointed at Trump every time she sang "let the guilty pay."

[John Mathias @johnmathias]

Unconscionable.

@JohnCornyn The reason they wrote these fables is so you’d learn them as a child, not when you’re 74.

[Orioles Activities @SHS_Orioles]

Thank you @RefReps and @IGHSAU for allowing us to train and certify high school students to officiate games. We had 10 students who were certified and a couple began their official jobs on Monday. Huge shout out to Fred Griffith for helping these ladies in the JH softball games!

Shocking. Just horrible news.

[NASCAR @NASCAR]

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

Para la premiere de 'Masters of the Universe' en el mítico Chinese Theatre se han venido arriba y han construido un puñetero Castillo Grayskull. Así se hacen las cosas.

@brad_doerring I'm reading that the team was warned for taunting earlier in the meet. If so, this is on the coach IMO.

[John Mathias @johnmathias]

RIP Jason Collins. Brave. Tough. Heck of a ball player.

[Washington Wizards @WashWizards]

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Wizard Jason Collins following his battle with glioblastoma, and are sending our condolences to his family & loved ones.

[Scott Dochterman @ScottDochterman]

You can tell much @KeithMurphy dislikes talking about why he stepped aside as Coaches vs. Cancer emcee. I'm glad the story is getting out. It's what we all had to deal with for years.
(The whole podcast is great; this situation starts at about minute 43)
