It’s just yet another monumental moment in what has been a momentous WNBA season. They’ve remained steadfast in their stance against police brutality and the abuses that Black people and other people of color face in America every single day.

The WNBA has led the way in the social justice movement throughout sports and they continue to do so. People in and outside of sports applauded them for their actions.

The entire WNBA is standing together, in the same t-shirt (sorry I missed what it says), arm-in-arm on ESPN while their leaders detail what they want and why they are not playing tonight. It's extraordinary.

STILL not back. Unless something is different for verified accounts she likely loses her handle tomorrow.

Every week, it seems, something happens to remind us just how dangerous it is to play pro football. On Sunday night, it was the Seahawks’ Darren Taylor being back-boarded and carted off the field. This week, it was Patrick Mahomes, the face of the NFL, being helped off the field by his teammates.

Mahomes didn’t look too steady on his feet getting up.

Though the Chiefs’ quarterback appeared dazed, Mahomes made it to the sidelines under his own power, with some help from teammates on either side, and did not return to the game. Then this happened, if you can believe it (of course you can):
I’m not a doctor, but I feel safe saying that if a player is that wobbly on his feet leaving the field, there’s no way he should be passing the NFL’s concussion protocol. That protocol likely needs to be revamped, tout de suite. It’s not the first time we’ve seen a player bumble off the field after getting hit in the head, only to have NFL personnel declare that player to be A-okay.
The score was 27-3 in favor of Tennessee when Mahomes went down, and, as you can imagine, things didn’t trend upwards once journeyman QB Chad Henne took over. That wound up being the final, as Kansas City falls to 3-4 on the season and Tennessee improves to 5-2. No doubt, the sieve-like offensive line in KC will continue to be the talk of the NFL this weekend. And now it looks like the Chiefs might wind up paying for it in something more meaningful than just a loss.

We’ll update this story as it continues to develop

pretty pointless.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Looks like she's barely hanging on at Deadspin. Her latest "column" (just the third in the last month and a half) is under 300 words and is pretty pointless. The full text:



Riveting!

I'm addition to John Doe, there are plenty of women that the #Blackhawks owe apologies to, because nothing was going to detail that Stanley Cup train, come hell or high water.

Two dicks/typos, wow

Congrats on being better than me, Psycory.

I feel a Kane alleged rape incident story coming. She can't let this opportunity to go back to that well slip by her.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

yep, how has she stayed silent this long about this. She probably orgasmed for the first time since she had consensual sex with that dude in Mexico when she heard about this.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

If you don’t know by now that this is who the Blackhawks have always been, I have some swampland to sell you in Florida.

Let’s back up.

In 2015, I was working for on the update desk for a local radio station, when two sources very close to the investigation of the sexual assault allegations against Patrick Kane contacted me. After an extremely thorough vetting and discussions with my boss, I began reporting some of what I learned about what was going on in Buffalo and the investigation. I stand by every bit of reporting I did during that time, even though the case was never actually charged. What it resulted in was years of torment from Blackhawks “fans,” a large group of whom are still harassing me to this day. I got death threats, rape threats, and even made national news for having to stay home from work after one very specific threat involving my workplace.

The years went by, the allegations against Kane were forgotten. The Hawks made him the face of their franchise. I watched little girls walking around in Kane jerseys and saw the sanitization of his image. I can hear my critics now. “Here she goes again, making this all about her.” But that’s entirely the point. When teams purposefully cover up allegations of abuse and sexual assault, it affects all of us. From those on the team to those working for the team to those covering the team to the fans watching at home. Because people put so much trust in the organization to do the right thing, it affects how we see the world. And that affects victims down the line, both in and out of sports.

I’ve written before that I can draw a direct line from seeing how Anita Hill was treated by Congress during Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearings to my failure to report my own rape just a few years later. How many victims out there were similarly influenced by the way the woman accusing Patrick Kane was doxxed and run out of her hometown by threats? Or the way media members who dared not to declare Kane “innocent” were harassed and threatened? Threats which, by the way, the Blackhawks could have shut down with a simple statement, but chose not to.

This should be the point in the piece where I give you what I think is the answer to this dilemma, like more prosecutors who care about justice and fewer who care about their trial record. More resources for victims of violent crimes. A world that actually cares about sexual assault when it involves rich and famous men. But my ask is far more simple: Stop giving your favorite sports teams the benefit of the doubt because you like what they do on your TV screen. Next time a victim comes forward with an allegation, let’s start from a place where we assume it’s just as likely that the team is covering shit up as it is that the victim is lying.

Kind of like how Julie gave Howard Bryant the “ benefit of the doubt “ on his domestic violence arrest because he was a guest on her podcast ?

Speaking of July...did someone manage to steal her Twitter handle?

To her credit, everything is actually spelled correctly.

I looked yesterday but it said the login was taken and the first similar available was JulieDiCaro16. So she has probably been logging in periodically to keep it alive.

this is the bullshit that actually led me to this board
