You know, it was really only a matter of time before someone realized their truck was a more effective weapon of mass violence than their gun

glad to come across this in my feed. as a former D1 college athlete (track & field), I want to see more stories and research on the trauma many of us experienced as college athletes.

maybe i’ll write about my own experience one day.

thanks for writing and sharing.
What this book does is provide a window into the experiences of college football players that we simply do not normally hear about. The stories of exploitation and harm they shared frankly still astound me.

I hope you take a look.

Some good news. It was nice to be recognized by our faculty senate for what I can only summarize as kindness. 🧡

nice echo chamber you got there would be a shame if you just kept on enjoying it and got a lot of fulfillment from it and lived your life happily and it never adversely affected your mental health

Nah. I’m calling cap. 🧢
Doug Pederson is the most important coach in Eagles history and it never won’t be funny that the Eagles basically hired him as a favor to Andy Reid because Pederson was having an affair with a front office person.

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

I think one thing that’s impossible to overlook or ever forget again regardless of whatever needs to happen politically and socially going forward for a better world is how many people openly delight in hate and potentially dominating others. It’s not even hidden but celebrated and bragged about.

Wow. The player’s own teammates and former assistant coach are plaintiffs. Good call by The Athletic to avoid outing an athlete who has not publicly ID’d as transgender.

People who scream to keep politics out of sports are real quiet now

“Documents and emails sourced by WyoFile noted that certain state elected officials influenced, if not forced, the university’s decision over objections from the team and the athletic department.”
