Somehow this sheriff & his men didn’t feel the need to run over ppl in a car or shoot rubber bullets or tear gas canisters or arrest press documenting. Thank u for setting an example to law enforcement everywhere: it is on POLICE to EARN the trust of the community not vice versa

I don’t have answers for how to fix Sudan. But I know the 1st step is to have the world be aware that something terrible is going on. So while I try to find out what WE can do, do me a favor & help me get this msg out.

Amin Elhassan looks like the TV drama paramedic who arrives on the scene, makes no effort to revive the victim, but simply feels for a pulse and slowly shakes his head in disappointment.
Nothing says “police are well adjusted, balanced individuals committed to public safety/keeping the peace” like a cop recording video of himself asking ppl to fight him & posting it on the Internet. Congrats, you f*cking psycho, u really dispelled the brutality stereotype w/ this

Embiid’s dad looks like he definitely still guilt trips his son from time to time about pursuing a career in sports as opposed to being a doctor or engineer, like his cousin Daniel who “has a very stable job working for Boeing”.

She’s nervous about getting her egg McMuffin. I’m nervous about getting pulled over.
She’s been at it for 15 years & never had anxiety about Drive thru.
I’ve been at it for 41 years & never NOT had any anxiety about interactions w/ police.

Again, I stress to all my white friends who are shocked and horrified after hearing this: literally every black person I know has at least one story like this. Many have multiple.
This is the Ray Allen Game 6 corner 3 of videos. I love how he rope-a-doped them the whole way to illustrate just how stupid, corrupt and prejudiced they are.

I’ve thought about sending this tweet for weeks and I still have no clue how to make it not make you all roll your eyes. Alas: the obvious thing has happened. I no longer work at ESPN. I’m really grateful for my time here. I made incredible friendships and valuable mistakes.

Erik Spoelstra once stopped me in the hallway after a game and said “you used to be one of us, now you’re one of THEM”.
Then, he walked away before turning around and saying “oh and a word of advice. Never name drop”
Video Coordinators Do It Better.
Erik Spoelstra started as a video coordinator for the Miami Heat and is now headed to his 5th Finals as the team's head coach.

Yo who in Zion camp thought it would be a good idea to have him in a commercial looking fat as hell on a couch playing video games with a bowl of chips and a soda in front of him?

Williams left ESPN after refusing to take the vaccine, which Disney has mandated for all employees.
I’ve said it time and again: in our league, nice guys finish last. You try to be professional and do things the right way, they fuck you over. Players are incentivized to be the biggest assholes imaginable or else they get run over.
B/R Sources: Inside the messy divorce between Damian Lillard and Portland Trail Blazers: “How this summer played out behind the scenes definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.”
Tipsy at the airport enough to weigh in on shit I never care enough to weigh in on:
This the difference btw OG mentality and new school mentality. New school finds value in clout and clicks and attention. OGs know where the value at: hardware.

UPDATE: ALL shoplifting charges against LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill were dropped, meaning the UCLA trio return home with a clean record. They also were NOT officially deported.

Again, never ceases to amaze me how fans get mad at:
A- player for wanting to leave
B- NBA CBA for not preventing him from leaving
C- media for reporting about it
D- other teams that try to acquire him

E- ineptly run fav team for flushing 7 yrs of talent down the drain
Ejecting people over footwear is the second oldest play in the racist establishment handbook.

The Lakers ring is the most expensive ring in NBA history breaking the record set by.....the Raptors last year, who in turn broke the Warriors record and so on.
So my question is: who’s going to breakdown and stop this streak and come with a cheaper ring? Please answer below
This is too specific, Shams. I need you to be wayyyy vaguer, and maybe have a very awkward infographic with your face on it in order for me to feel like News has actually been broken.
