I never really paid attention to headlines until I started working in the media. This is another example of why representation matters off camera. Two teams parted ways with a coach, one team fired their coach. Notice a difference in the three?

When it comes to #FantasyFootball, Aaron Jones says he cares deeply about those who draft him in fantasy football. He said if he let you down last year, draft him this season. "Make sure you got me in your leagues." . @FOX9 #Vikings

I asked LB Blake Cashman how they can learn from this close victory, and if it was the #Vikings lack of execution down the stretch or the #Packers execution that made this a close one. He had a very detailed answer. #Skol @FOX9 @Fox9Sports

I have been in San Jose for nearly 24 hours and I have yet to see someone in Sharks gear. Not a jersey, not a shirt, not a hat, nothing. I can hardly go an hour in STL without seeing some type of blues gear. I guess we really do have some of the best sports fans!😅.

Brian Flores has the Texans so confused offensively that Stefon Diggs just called an offensive huddle on the sideline to give his guys a pep talk.

These posts came from Alexander Mattison’s instagram story. I won’t blur anything out because I want you guys to see what it’s like being a black athlete in America. Just bc you fumble, you’re a c**n and a n****r…. this is freaking SPORTS. Grow up #Vikings fans. Unacceptable.

Steph Curry in 2 games. 73 points, 15 assists and 14 rebounds. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum in 2 games. 81 points, 22 assists and 15 rebounds. Stop the debate on the best backcourt. Steph is beating them by himself.

Some athletes may leave with a massive amount of debt a degree won’t pay for. Didn’t know profiting off YOUR name, image, and likeness was ‘not smart.’ God forbid they profit of themselves like the NCAA does 😅.
The number of smart people who think NIL is anywhere near as important or valuable as having a degree from Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC etc is mind blowing. NIL is chump change, a degree is a life change.

St. Louis is literally a war zone right now and kids seem to be in the middle of it. This is sad. This is crazy. This isn’t right. Growing up I never thought guns were cool. This starts at home. parents have to do better. Kids have to want better. Put the guns down 🤦🏽♂️.

@Jhelmuth @bomani_jones The justification people make for shooting a man with a knife who didn’t swing it at a cop or point it at him is laughable. Like what does Brett Farve and playing football have to do with Jacob Blake. The excuses every time someone black is shot is disturbing.

I’m so tired of seeing coaches and parents whine about the possibility of no sports. Grow up! You’re an adult. Teach these kids sports isn’t everything, focus on school! Help them deal with this tough time and how to adapt. You adults whining does nothing for the kids suffering.
