Who are the top thinkers on the absolute terror of modern phone-based sports betting?
a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it
b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents
b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents
Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

The irony is that sports coverage has become more empirically based so you can’t even call this vibes bullshit covering it like sports. bsky.app/profile/goth...
I’ve seen an alarming amount of CNN the last day or so and none of their breathless, wall to wall election coverage mentioned the issues, or the plans of the candidates, or even just the top policy interest of voters. Cover fascism? They can’t even cover democracy.
NYT says Trump's 2nd win "raises questions about Haley's path." What, NYT, are these "questions"? They've been settled for some time, but a press built for the horse race keeps touting a path that never existed when it should be busy retooling itself to cover a rapidly mutating fascism.

Don’t let GOP sell you on their hate, lies, & vicious attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community!
The fabricated issue of who can use restrooms and play sports, is just a way to discriminate based on gender identity, similar to how drinking fountains & restrooms were used to segregate based on race!

The ban on trans women in snooker is important; it clearly reveals that all trans sports bans are political rather than based on science or “preserving women’s sports”.
Even if you - wrongly - regard trans women as “men” trans women snooker players still have no competitive advantage over cis women.

Other issue is a huge number of people are convinced that sports gambling isn't pure gambling and is instead skill based, based on how much you know sports. Forgetting that they price very detailed sports knowledge in

the way that app-based sports gambling has just completely overtaken seemingly every decision sports leagues make about fan experience sort of mirrors the way that recreational wagering can become serious problem gambling in a hell of a hurry
I love sports and this seems extremely bad
Seems sustainable.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST.
When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

Why is the USA in such a mess? Because the average American can tell you more about Hollywood stars, TV series, sports teams, the players and stats than they can about anything science based, foreign relations or cause and effect of their government's policies.
