Kerr: Nine days ago, 12 incredible American men came together to win a gold. And the next night, I was back in that same building watching 12 more of the best players on Earth, our incredible American women do the same thing.
.@SteveKerr: I'm endorsing President Biden because he supports implementing common sense gun safety measures. I know Donald Trump will not do that, so it's a simple choice for me. It’s too important to save lives not to speak out. Gun violence is the number one killer of children. 80% of people want universal background checks, it doesn't matter your political affiliation. We have to implement gun safety laws and President Biden is willing to do the work to make that happen
RIP Bill Walton, who 14 years ago spoke about Boris Diaw (career 8.4 ppg/4.4 rebs/3.5 ast) with more beauty and reverence than anyone has ever spoken about another person.
“When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics.”
I wrote about A’s fans and the future of fan activism for the @ringer.
12 months ago, Fisher and MLB conspired to steal the @Athletics out of Oakland. A’s fans responded by creating one of the most impressive fan activist movements in sports history.

It appears that the difference between what Oakland offered and what the A's wanted was about $35 million or so over three years.
Or about the same that the Angels are paying reliever Robert Stephenson.
Meanwhile, owners overseeing an industry worth many tens of billions of dollars stand by and watch their weakest franchise put on this cheap circus, and do nothing.
Incomprehensible. And a terrible business decision.
Hicks looked ridiculous last night. Only one game and vs. the A's, so taken with perspective. Still: nasty. That Kuiper compares him to Lincecum ... whew.
