Give it up 👏for @Riley_Gaines_ and frankly her push back is worthy of other successful prominent women in sports coming aboard. Her presentation yesterday on The Hill was remarkable.
It's not transphobic to say that men and women are biologically different!. "My problem is the NCAA. My problem is the Biden administration pushing a rewrite of #TitleIX. That is my problem. That's why I'm here." @Riley_Gaines_ .@PeteLeeColorado.

I have to say this and if it pisses off the @NFL so be it! CFB’s far better from crew to crew on PI than the Big League! @BuffaloBills had two obvious PI’s on Tampa Bay that went uncalled. Then, Brady gets a big time PI to set up the touchdown. They’ve gotta get this FIXED’.

Ya wanna disagree with @drewbrees fine? Wanna question his timing? Sure. Painting him as a racist as a result of his answer? No! Sorry, but his personal views on how he feels when the anthem is played is just that, his American right. Just as it is, Kaepernick’s to take a knee.

The answer is clear. 1 team deemed a Major Brand from a MAJOR CONFERENCE! The other predicted last in a P4 not named @SEC or @bigten until our sport removes the veil of impropriety CFB’s integrity will continue being questioned. It’s a problem. As much as I 💜it. It’s an issue.
Why have a targeting rule if you are going to call obvious targeting in the biggest games? .How could they look at this and deem it not targeting???.

Wanna know the problem Martha? You, and others like you in Major Network News! There comes point when @JDVance absolutely abuses these media elites and I’m so glad he does. In my earliest days working at CBS I recall walking the halls seeing Murrow, Douglas Edwards, & Cronkite.
“Do you hear yourself? . “Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border?”. @JDVance to @MarthaRaddatz and I bet she wishes she had that question back.

The truth that Georgia or Bama is better than Florida St. may be correct, but in its history an undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion has NEVER been left out. Anything besides @FSUFootball being in will only prove how corrupt this process has been from the jump. The 0 matters!.

Correct and that Nicole proves what I’ve said all along. Corruption is not too harsh a word. This year the Committee actually did the right thing, and proved they watched and reacted to the ACC Title game. It mattered. 🤷♂️One Company having total control? Not ideal. NFL Blueprint.
If wins don’t matter and the number/quality of losses don’t matter either (as a disqualifier), then is he advocating for picking a Playoff field in August based on what rosters look like on paper? He’s asking to completely devalue the regular season.

What’s clear in the @bigten is division. Commissioner Warren dodged every question & every follow up from @BTNDaveRevsine on his own Network. The vote originally leaked as 12-2 to the media, was done so incorrectly. It was 8-6, and it’s impossible politics didn’t play a role.

There’s no denying @POTUS & many other Democrats have weaponized #TitleIX particularly since the 50th Anniversary of its adoption. It’s sickening, given what it’s history meant for women in sports. All Girl Dad’s unite with Riley. Political abuse of it is WRONG! Keep fighting👏.
Under the guise of competitive fairness? Are you really trying to say you would have won a national title against the men? Does it not break your heart to see women lose out on these opportunities? . The Biden Admins proposed bill denies science, truth, and common sense

I’ll be clear. It’s not about clean or dirty? It’s legal or illegal in the “targeting” era! It absolutely was and is the definition of targeting and it effectively ended the game with well over 11 minutes left. @LSUfootball has an historically BAD defense and their only way to.
Dallas Turner’s hit on Jayden Daniels may or may not have been clean… but here’s what I do know, this isn’t the first time he’s gotten a QB out of the game or committed a gnarly penalty on one. Is Dallas Turner a tough football player, or is he a dirty player?
