“I have never been hit so hard in my life. It’s up to the IOC to judge.”
Italy’s Angela Carini after lasting just 46 seconds against Algeria’s intersex athlete Imane Khelif.
Biological firestorm at Paris Olympics.
The Imane Khelf thing is just a redux of the Caster Semenya situation where a bunch of loser European athletes cry about getting their ass kicked by an African champion and try and get her banned out of jealousy

To me the thing I continue to not understand, truly deeply, is why the IDF hasn't cracked down on the absolutely insane sh*t posting of its soldiers, when it is very obviously a PR disaster. Do they not care? Has command discipline just totally broken down?
Can’t find the clip but I’ll never forget Bill Walton going on some tangent about the Pac 12 tournament and Dave Pasch was like “I’ll remind you it’s the Pac-12 tournament presented by pacific life and you gotta call it that Bill” and he just goes “well I’m not going to do that”
It’s very funny to call a guy who sacrificed his career for what he believes in unserious when you picked a strippers name for your epic debate persona
Norm Twinklestein is easily one of the most unserious people I've ever had the misfortune of speaking with. I hope his reading comprehension improves in the future, it's sad that he brags about reading so much when he's apparently only capable of thinking in single quotes.
I love how this happens 5 times a year and fantasy football players act like they’re unionized and can pressure the league by threatening to go on strike
Not kidding this should be a huge fine for the 49ers.
The leagues value is insanely tied to fantasy and betting.
Withholding this information is not acceptable and incredibly anti-fan.
Dean Kremer.
Israeli-American dual-citizen. 🇮🇱🇺🇸
Pitched for the Israeli National Team in the World Baseball Classic.
He’s the Orioles starting pitcher for Game 3 of the ALDS tonight.
He has family in Israel. “I still want to pitch, but its gonna be in the back of my head.”
Walked in to this bar with my drunk ass buddy and he goes up to the pool table and just pushed the balls around a bunch and the people playing got so mad they just walked out lmao
There are lots of grievances Palestinians could cite that deserve attention. Actions like those of this week close the ears of many who might be willing to listen/help. This plays into the hands of hardliners on both sides. Pity the civilians (on both sides) are victimized.
Feels like with a lot of Olympic events like men’s swimming and men’s sprinting they matter less now because we saw the goat compete in our lifetimes and now it’s just a bunch of guys who would have gotten bronze on a good day in 2008 or 2012
I miss the peak of the let’s go Brandon meme when I was sitting in the opticians and this enormous fat lady’s ring tone was going off that was just a guy yelling “Let’s go Brandon” over and over again and she refused to answer her phone or silence it
Jewish students at Univ of Washington respond to the rally, "They want our people dead. They want us killed." If that is the site where GameDay will be Saturday AM; oh man, I just don't know.
📊 Sneak peak at a new metric I've been working on, which attempts to quantify "Basketball IQ" 💡
A full writeup with methodology and data table will be available in the next day or two.

Ronaldo being allowed to stay on through this generationally washed performance only to miss a penalty in extra time is just too good man. He’s literally crying on the pitch this is so beautiful
You can very clearly hear a guy in the lakers space overtaking people on the freeway and you can hear the Waze app telling him directions and everyone is accusing him of being drunk
The nation should be watching an nfl playoff game right now. Sadly the pathetic Buffalo bills and woke fascism of the state of New York is denying you this
BREAKING: Mesut Özil, the famous German 🇩🇪 football player, has uploaded on his Instagram story that he is in favor of the complete destruction of Israel.
This is a disgraceful act, and he should be held accountable for it.
NYC is going the way of Chicago — second tier in every meaningful sense.
Boston is better as a global city/financial center, Worcester has a stronger creative scene, and Malden is 10x better for missionary technologists.
When not in EU, I’ll be spending more time in Lowell.
Sam Presti took a pedophile over Franz Wagner, traded Sengun for picks, traded Jaden McDaniels for Poku, and took Ousmane Dieng over Jalen Duren. Worst GM ever?
Barista: we have 3 dozen flavors of coffee, 4 different strengths of cold brew, 7 choices of milk or cream, and 54 different syrups
Dennis Leary: yeah i’ll take a coffee flavored coffee thanks
Barista:
We Jews are tired.
We’re tired of being murdered and then told our murders didn’t happen.
We’re tired of being dehumanized, our children’s faces torn from lampposts.
We’re tired of being told everyone deserves a home—except us.
We’re tired.
But we’re going to fight. And win.
BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.
Ummm, I hate Ian Miles as much as the next guy, but like... I'm gonna go ahead and take the bold anarchist position that people being executed for sedition is bad actually
Whenever they show David Zaslav courtside at these Knicks games the chyron should let the viewer know he’s the guy responsible for Inside the nba ending with the new tv deal
"New York magazine on Thursday said its Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, is on leave after learning the star journalist had allegedly engaged in a romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,"

Goated Matthew Perry story is when they got him and Chris Farley to make some shitty Lewis and Clark comedy film and the movie sucked but Farley did get Perry addicted to cocaine
