Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
@DiscussingFilm The smart thing to say would have been "there should be sing along showtimes where there is a social understanding that anyone who can sing is encouraged to do so."
But that's not what he said. What is said sucks and ruins the movie-going experience.
Caitlin Clark haters are punching air right now.
The WNBA All-Star votes says what most of us already knew. Caitlin Clark is the WNBA’s Tiger Woods.
More people watch the W because of her. Period.
Total votes increased by 598% for the top 5 players from 2023 to 2024.
The top 2 vote getters? Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston who are currently ranked 16th and 27th in points per game in the W and are currently the 9th best team in a 12 team league.
Last year the top vote getter was A’Ja Wilson, who is still the best player in the World, with 95,860 votes.
This year Angel Reese, who is breaking records left and right, came in 5th in the fan vote and received 381,518 votes.
Yes, the WNBA is more popular than ever.
Yes, it’s because of Caitlin Clark.
Yes, Angel Reese, A’Ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Kahleah Copper, Diana Taurasi, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd and a host of other W players have a hand in it.
Yes, every player, organization and TV network is benefiting from the impact.
It’s okay to admit that there are better players in the WNBA right now than Caitlin Clark, but she is the most coveted.
It’s okay to admit that no team is more watched or has broken more TV viewership and arena attendance records than the Indiana Fever and it’s because of Caitlin Clark.
It’s cool to see all of these Women get the fandom they have deserved for a long time.
They have put in the work and laid the foundation for a moment like this to happen.
It’s okay to admit that Caitlin Clark was the catalyst the WNBA needed.
If it wasn’t because of Caitlin Clark, it would have happened earlier.
Now, let’s enjoy the product on the court and enjoy the eye balls Caitlin Clark has brought to the sport. The bottom line is it will take ALL these talented women to carry the game forward.
It is with great sadness that we announce that San Francisco Giants Legend and Hall of Famer Willie Mays passed away peacefully this afternoon at the age of 93.
@TheDunkCentral@cbrennansports Spoke on condition of anonymity because they'd get raked through the coals for bringing to light the pettiness of human beings
