@4everNeverTrump @brooklynmutt What if the cupcake store is closed, so I can only get a cupcake at a store far away? When I get there, everyone wanting a cupcake is there & it will take several more hours to get my cupcake AND put me in danger? Probably just make own at home in the first place. THE POINT, Kel!

So weird. I NEVER hear people talk about the MLS like they talk about the WNBA. Yet... “MLS expects to lose ‘close’ to $1 billion in 2021, Commissioner Don Garber said. The league said it had nearly $1 billion in losses in 2020.” @MLS @wnba

Summer is the daughter of a friend of mine. So many people trashing her on her Facebook page & saying awful things. Her family is devastated, but proud of them for standing for what they believe in. Love to the Taylors. Beautiful memories. And, America, get yourself together.

@sportsiren @WNBA Said it before & will say it again: Female athletes know nothing BUT the fight. They had to fight just for the right to compete, then for facilities, for publicity, for pay. That's why they will continue to lead on this. They were made for it.

This is (exceptionally long, but) absolutely amazing journalism. Also, I will never understand how ESPN/Fox have Alex Rodriguez on their baseball programming. It's worse than the idea of having Richard Nixon talk about ethics in politics on TV. Unreal.

“Student journalists” are simply journalists who are still in school. They are journalists who can make an impact, who can hold those in power to account when they follow their training, don’t take no for an answer & forge ahead and do the right thing especially when it’s scary.
