The Haslams (who gave Deshaun Watson a shit ton of money *after* two dozen allegations) still haven’t fired Higuain. Oh and they were given an NWSL team. Support women and all that. That expansion still baffles me.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport.
She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury.
It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players.
They have failed.

I spoke to Matías Pourrain, an Argentine semi-pro soccer player in Miami, who was arrested by ICE in August and detained for over 20 days.

Support DC Scores!
Not all parts of the U.S. saw a World Cup boom.
D.C. Scores, a nonprofit that runs after-school programs using soccer and poetry, is pausing programming at 9 schools.
Now, it looks to fundraise for the other 60 schools in its programs.

My wife commutes everyday to Gary for work from Chicago. Today is her first day back since Tuesday Aug 11th. It’s Aug. 20th. Partial, rolling, and total outsges. This city is in a crisis, not being cared for, and folks are not calling it out for what it is. A majority black community failed again.

RFK Jr and Elon Musk competing to see who can kill more babies
Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke.
Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with the long-standard vitamin K shot.

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
