I reread this every year.

I cry like a baby every year.

Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.

Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

"When God looks at a man, He doesn't look to see the color of his skin. He doesn't look to see the kind of clothes he wears. Nor does He consider his social position. The Bible says that God looks upon the heart to see what you are on the inside—the thoughts, motives and intents of the heart." —Billy Graham

In 1967, I was one of four women on the university’s table tennis first team. I would sometimes practice with the worst player in the men’s fourth team. He would always beat me as he was larger and more powerful.
Nowadays, he could’ve replaced me if he identified as a woman. That’s just not fair. Keep men out of women’s sports.

Stephen A. Smith GOES OFF on WNBA coach’s “Trans kids belong” t-shirt.

“That is an IRRESPONSIBLE thing to do!”

SMITH: “This is not about being anti-anything. This is about being PRO-GIRLS... You can’t be born a male, transition into female and think that you should have the right to compete with women!"

“Not in basketball, not in football, not in boxing, not in the UFC. Hell, not even in tennis!

“It’s an aberration (anomaly) when you find somebody like a Serena Williams serving 120 miles, 125 miles an hour. That’s ORDINARY for Djokovic... That was ordinary for Sampras, Agassi, and all of these guys."

“We gotta stop acting like somebody that’s speaking up on behalf of girls, like a Sophie Cunningham, like a Riley Gaines, are scourges of the earth."

"You are Cheryl Reeve, the head coach of the Minnesota Lynx. That is an irresponsible thing to do... Do you not think that the females are being SCREWED OVER if they have to compete against an individual born as a male? What are you talking about?!"

“Nobody said you can't transition from male to female. The issue here is competing against the women. That’s what Sophie Cunningham was talking about. That’s what Riley Gaines is talking about. How are you, Coach Cheryl Reeve, and you could condone that, and then you gonna come out with a T-shirt?"

“No regard for the WNBA, no regard for the sponsors that may be put off by that. No regard for the bottom line that might be affected because of a position that she has taken that YOU KNOW is going to be politicized because that’s what you did.”

“How is that okay? How?!”

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

The WNBA has made sure that @sophaller feels like she is standing alone.

Let's make sure she knows she isn't.

16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams recounts his heroic rescue in Santa Cruz California, praises his fellow lifeguard for helping with the rescue.

“I wish more people knew about ocean conditions and rip currents.”

“I'd like people to remember that we make thousands of rescues along the California coast and around the world every day, and that this is not an uncommon occurrence. This is our job, this is what we're here to do, and this is the reason we are here.”

Hero.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Dear Stephanie White,

Since you said you weren't "educated enough from a scientific standpoint" to say whether men should compete in women's sports or not, let me "educate" you.

- Males have significantly more lean muscle mass.
- On average, men have 30-40% more upper-body strength.
- After puberty, men have up to 20x more testosterone, which leads to greater muscle development, higher power output, & faster strength gains.
- Males have higher bone density, wider shoulders, & typically longer reach.
- Men produce more fast-twitch muscle fibers, which helps with explosive movements
- Males generally have larger hearts & lungs, contributing to higher aerobic capacity.
- Men have, on average, a 10–12% higher hemoglobin concentration, allowing the blood to carry more oxygen during exercise, which is why WNBA games & seasons are shorter than the NBA
- Males typically have a 15–20% higher VO₂ max than similarly trained females, improving endurance performance.
- Men have larger & stronger tendons & ligaments, allowing them to tolerate higher force production.
- Males typically possess larger skeletal frames, including bigger hands and feet, which can improve leverage & force generation in sports.
- Men generally recover quicker between maximal power efforts because of greater absolute muscle mass & anaerobic power.

Now you have no excuse to not say "men don't belong in women's sports," I'm looking forward to you standing with Sophie Cunningham on this issue 🤝

If getting booed in Portland is wrong, we don’t want to be right.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

These young women are heroines. They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing in women's sport. The only people who are "f*cking insane" here are those making a mockery of fair sport for women and trying to bully girls like this into silence.

[TheFairPlayStandard @FairPlay4Her]

Last night, my wife and I went to our first WNBA game in Seattle to watch the Storm take on the Fever. It was definitely a different experience, but we ultimately had a good time. Let me tell you why it felt different. For a lot of the people in attendance, it didn’t seem like it was about basketball. It felt like it was about politics. The Seattle crowd was incredibly sensitive anytime Caitlin Clark or Sophie Cunningham touched the ball. They booed relentlessly every time either of them touched the ball, scored, or did anything significant. To me, it didn’t feel like normal sports rivalry. If it were just about basketball, the entire Fever team would have been treated the same way. It felt like something deeper.

In my opinion, a lot of the hostility toward Caitlin Clark comes from the attention she receives, her elite talent, and the fact that she’s become the face of the league. As for Sophie Cunningham, I think much of the backlash stems from her outspoken belief that biological men do not belong in women’s sports or women’s spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms. The WNBA has a serious challenge on its hands. The league is making more money and attracting more fans than ever before, but it also seems to be struggling to adapt to its rapidly growing audience and the different viewpoints that come with it.

We sat down in our seats, which were amazing by the way, and looked across the court to see two young women wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts and holding signs thanking Sophie for speaking out. We paid attention to them a little during the first quarter, but we got so caught up in the game that we didn’t notice them again the rest of the night. Hearing that one of the Storm’s owners allegedly confronted them and ruined their experience is a really bad look for the league if that’s what happened. The WNBA should look into it. I’ve also read that people tried to trip them as they walked to their seats and were cussing at them. If that’s true, that’s unacceptable. Those seats aren’t cheap. Let people enjoy the game and support the players they came to watch without being harassed.
