Repurposing cultural symbols for contemporary myth making is common.

For class discussion: Does this symbol make you "feel bold, confident, competitive"? And, historically speaking, for whom is it a "timeless symbol of leadership spanning centuries, continents, and cultures"?

[Golden State Valkyries @valkyries]

That’s our Head Coach!

So much work to do to keep our athletes safe, focusing as much on changing cultural and social attitudes that put children in harm’s way as we do on improving safety equipment #guardiancaps #concussions #sportsafety #culturechange #socialrespsonsibility #coacheducation

[Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb]

An 18 year old high school football player was airlifted to hospital with a brain bleed after his FOURTH concussion, and second in two months.

He was wearing a Guardian Cap.

Going to @NASSSport ?!? Consider attending our session titled, "How can sport management & sport sociology support each other?"

I think the mix of department type, career longevity, and research interests will (hopefully) lead to an insightful convo #NASSS2024

[Risa Isard, PhD @RisaLovesSports]

Dear @ESPN,
The #WNBA Finals (!) start *tonight.* In a season that has proven that Everyone Watches Women’s Sport™, why do I still have to scroll so far down your homepage to find any mention of it? It’s a game that you’re broadcasting! Don’t you want everyone to know about it?

[Angel Reese @Reese10Angel]

So grateful & blessed for this new ownership! Looking forward to creating new opportunities for women in professional soccer. I’ve always had to desire to invest in a local team as a Maryland native! ❤️🖤

[Dr. Ajhanai (AJ) Keaton @ajhanaikeaton]

Unprecedented viewership 📈 better get in the game!!

“Yet too many brands are idly missing their moment to capitalize on collaborating with athletes who rock their products, gracefully devoid of sweat, cameras, and in-game physicality.”

Two of the greatest coaches of our time 🥰💪🏽🏀

[Andrew Moses @andrewhmoses]

In 2010, Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer visited an opponent’s locker room, at the request of that team’s coach, to deliver a pep talk — moments after beating that team 70-32.

That team?

University of South Carolina

That other coach?

Dawn Staley

[Jessica Chin @kinprof1]

Incredible game, incredible players, incredible coach, incredible season…just incredible on all fronts. Congrats @GamecockWBB and Coach @dawnstaley on this well-deserved, hard-fought perfect season and National Championship #NCAAChampionship #NCAAWBB 🏀⛹🏽‍♀️🏆🎉

[South Carolina Women's Basketball @GamecockWBB]

Alexa, play "We Are the Champions" 🎶

[Jessica Chin @kinprof1]

@linzsports @kareemcopeland @WashMystics @TerpsWBB @avarwallace @gene_wang Agree & having grown up in DC/MD, I’ve so appreciated this. Since the 90s when my WBB fandom began, I have distinct memories remarking how the @washingtonpost has provided substantial coverage of women’s games, w/significant word counts, action photos, & visible story placement!

[Jessica Chin @kinprof1]

@markdavidnorman @stfxuniversity Yes!! Many congratulations Mark and all the best as you start your new position (and manage all the changes that come with that)!
