U think life isn’t fair Bc someone else’s student loan was cancelled? Try being a woman with life threatening complications to her pregnancy & republicans passed a law saying we are ok if you die.
If your employer stopped paying u for a month would u still be working there? We owe a huge thanks to TSA agents & air traffic controllers for showing us what sacrifice & commitment look like. They work w/out pay to keep us & America safe. We appreciate you 🇺🇸
Where was the outrage when spring sports were cancelled? If we had a natl quarantine then we’d be getting ready for college football now 🤦🏻♀️ jeez... I’ll take irony for $1000 Alex
Thanks to
@espn
for dedicating a day to some of my favorite wins in honor of my retirement. I will miss coaching in the best rivalry in women’s college basketball but I look forward to cheering on The IRISH vs uconn from a different seat (one that I might actually sit in😊) ☘️🏀
2 great moments from the ff. Paige saying that one call doesn’t determine the game shows accountability and leadership👏🏻and Dawn taking a moment to thank Caitlin for her contribution. 2 classy women role modeling how women lead. Women supporting women is how we grow our game🏀

Breaking news: white man hires white man to coach WNBA team AND makes him the highest paid coach in the league. Gender bias is real. 95% of men’s sport coaches r male and 60% of women’s sport coaches r male- title IX is 50 yet we don’t have equal oppty, equal pay or equal rights.
Orlando Magic assistant Nate Tibbetts is finalizing a deal to become the new coach of the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, sources told ESPN on Monday.
The deal will make Tibbetts the highest-paid coach in WNBA history, sources said.
Happy Father’s Day To dads who believe that women should not be held back by archaic stereotypes and raise their daughters with the same expectations they have for their sons. And by giving their daughters confidence to shatter glass ceilings and change the world
Thank you Columbus for an outstanding job hosting the wbb final four. Congrats to the local organizing committee, the police escort, the city of Columbus, nationwide arena, and the Sheraton capital square for doing an amazing job. First class all the way💚☘️

2011: 🥈
2015: 🏆

Tell me again why the U.S. Women's National Team is paid less?

Why doesn’t every state follow Kansas’ lead & ask their voters to decide if abortion is legal? Tone deaf old white men in the GOP were surprised by the power of women mobilizing to protect their rights. Women r the majority in the U.S. & WE WILL be heard in November.

I am grateful for our time together, thankful for what you have done for our program, and so proud to see the woman you have become. I am truly Blessed to have been part of your journey❤️
Back to school! First day of class in Notre Dame’s Mendoza college of business for my sports leadership class 📚 great start to national women and girls in sport day 🏃🏻♀️⛹🏻♀️🏌🏻♀️🤾🏻♀️
Pro choice doesn’t mean u r pro abortion. It means making a choice that’s best for u. What if u only want 2 kids & republicans take away access to contraceptives? What if THEY decide how many u can have? It’s about having freedom to choose. GOP want to make the choice for u.
Thanks
@espn
for a memorable night at the espys. So proud of
@Arike_O
not just for winning 🙌🏼 but for how she represents women in our fight for equality. And Thanks to the Arthur Ashe award winners for showing us how powerful our voices can be when we stand together👊🏻
When you delay the top 25 poll for the
#1
vs
#2
game it’s because you think
#1
is gonna lose. When
#5NCST
beats
#2
Maryland it’s an upset? But
#7Stanford
beats
#4Indiana
it’s not. There’s a bias in the media - maybe that’s why Dawn wears the “South Carolina vs everybody”shirt🤷🏻♀️
Joined the national protest at the south bend post office today. We need the post office running at maximum efficiency now more than ever, lives depend on it! AND so we can get those absentee ballots-Thank you to all the mail carriers-esp ours☔️💨🌨🥶📪Sanders

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who believe that women should not be held back by stereotypes by raising their daughters with the same expectations they have for their sons.
There are WBB players in their 6th even 7th season, many are on their 3rd school. it’s a ONE time transfer rule with a waiver necessary after that, yet no one has been stopped from playing EXCEPT maya dodson, who hasn’t even played 4 full years. SMH at the absurdity of the Ncaa.
Heartbreaking news today-Crystal Erwin ND Wbb ‘07 passed away last night. The entire women’s basketball family grieves for her loss. In addition to her parents, Ray & Natalie, She leaves behind 2 beautiful boys Marcel and Izaiah. Our thoughts and prayers are w them. 💔☘️💚
Really enjoyed getting to know ND alum and Mi state senator
@MalloryMcMorrow
, and her husband Ray. She is a rising star in the Democratic Party - exactly the type of leader we need to help us move forward.☘️
Moms are our 1st role models. We look to them to show us the possibilities of what we can be. Thanks mom, for teaching me what strength, resilience and courage look like. Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
the Equal Pay Act requires employers to pay men and women equally for doing the same work. It was passed in 1963 yet white women are still only making .80 for every dollar a man makes. For women of color it’s an appalling .67 or .58 Glad USWNT is taking a stand
#TIMESUP
The

players have made around $90,000 so far in World Cup bonuses for this cycle. But if they got the same bonuses the USMNT are entitled to, they each would’ve gotten closer to $550,000. A CBA exclusive:

I was overwhelmed with emotion on Sunday & so thankful for our fans, ushers, & support staff who stayed to help me celebrate

-couldn’t have done it w/out u💚. Loved the videos & signs too! Classy move by Lehigh to stay👍🏼.I will treasure the memory forever ☘️❤️
Arike is absolutely the ROY. When was the last time a rookie made such an impact in the WNBA? She was asked to carry the scoring load and she responded, Leading her team in scoring AND assists while Getting the opponents best defender every game! Most exciting player in the W👊🏼
Thanks
@NotreDameBand
! What a thrill to be included in your championship halftime show. You’ve been a part of all my favorite moments at Notre Dame - but this one may be the best. Bucket list ✅
We need more male advocates and more women leaders who do the hiring . Women are judged on their success, men on their potential. It’s time we started believing in the potential of women.
Things I learned about my team this summer: they have a great work ethic, terrific team chemistry, a desire to get better every day, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. I love this group and can’t wait to get back in the gym with them. ☘️💚
Natl womens equality day?🧐Y r we celebrating something that doesn’t exist? For every $ a man makes, Women make .49-.83 we r 8% of CEO’s, 25% of congress YET we r over 50% of the pop & earn over 50% of college degrees. Time to Stop being grateful & start breaking some glass🔨
Women’s basketball
@ndwbb
will be teaming with
@NDmbb
&
@NDHockey
to provide free tickets (& food vouchers) for designated games to any furloughed federal employee & their families. Our fans give us great support, now it’s our turn. It’s not about politics - it’s about people☘️💚
1 day after celebrating 50 years of oppty thru title IX, the supreme ct takes away our right to choose. 1 step forward 2 steps back for women in America. If you think they’ll stop there, you’re naive. This is what happens when you don’t vote like your freedom depends on it.
Bucket list ✅ Mt Rushmore, crazy horse and the majestic black hills of South Dakota - what a beautiful country we live in 🇺🇸
Huge Thanks to the ND club of the Black Hills for hosting us ☘️💚
Love the fight in the ND wbb team - they overcame adversity and never gave up. Phenomenal coaching job by Niele Ivey. Proud of this team and how well they represent Notre dame ☘️💚
Republicans have not done one thing to help Americans who are struggling. They voted against virtually every bill to fix the economy bc if they voted to fix it, they wouldn’t have anyone to blame for it. What do they stand for besides taking away womens rights? 🤷🏻♀️Voteblue
Congratulations to WNBA commissioner,
@CathyEngelbert
for successfully completing the WNBA season🙌🏼 Tremendous organizational effort & strategic planning to put it all together. A huge thanks to all the players/staff for the sacrifices they made too👏🏻as a fan I appreciated it!🏀
Woke is defined as being aware of & concerned about social injustice & discrimination so I can see why
@SenatorBraun
is anti-woke. He voted against every bill that would help Hoosiers simply because it was proposed by a democrat. He’s anti women & anti LGBTQ.We deserve better.
Great to spend time catching up with
@_Breezy_Briii
and
@SkyDigg4
❤️☘️so proud of how they continue to represent ND on and off the court in the WNBA
I’ve been blessed to coach so many amazing women-thanks to all of their moms for role modeling what a strong woman looks like. for letting them fail so they could learn how to pick themselves up, and for giving them room to spread their wings and fly.
Celebrating National women and girls in sports day. if we all raise our voice to lift up and empower women we will see real change for the next generation of female leaders. we can all do a little bit more to stand up for equality for women. Pass the ERA!

Your vote matters. let your voice be heard at the polls tomorrow👊🏻
Probably should have voted for that lower fuel cost bill to stop price gouging then huh? You are more interested in partisanship than creating a better future for Hoosier families.
Yes
@senatorbraun
, you and trump did have this country rolling - BACKWARDS. You rolled back women’s rights, civil rights & soon senior rights when you take away Medicare.
We need a leader who will move us forward and protect all of our rights. FYI BLM is NOT a terrorist group.
Fear of conflict is 1 of the 5 dysfunctions of a team. Teammates who trust each other can give & take honest feedback. Great teams aren’t afraid of conflict. That’s how you grow. Two competitors who hold each other accountable and want to win can fuel a championship run.
Congratulations
@Arike_O
WNBA first team 👊🏼and
@SkyDigg4
WNBA 2nd team 🙌🏼- so proud of both of you for the way you represent ND on and off the court ❤️☘️
Happy Mother’s Day to my shero, my mom. Thanks for role modeling what strength and resilience looks like. And thanks for letting me know that wherever my journey takes me you will always be there to welcome me home because “Home is where the heart is” I love you mom ❤️
BREAKING: WNBA legends Yolanda Griffith and Lauren Jackson, college basketball legend Pearl Moore and former WNBA president Val Ackerman have been named to the 2021 Naismith Hall of Fame class.
Congratulations to Vivian stringer on your 1000th win tonight. An amazing accomplishment for an amazing woman. You started as a trailblazer and ended up a legend. Thanks for all you do to promote and empower women.
@rutgerswbb
Playing the point is not something you can learn overnight. It takes a combination of a high basketball IQ, an unselfish attitude, a willingness to be accountable and great leadership skills.
Great to catch up with
@Arike_O
and
@mmabrey1
after a great Wnba season 🔥and before they head off to play overseas 🙌🏼love it when our alums come back “home” ❤️🍀
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
Tired of thoughts and prayers after another school shooting? If The majority of Americans favor a ban on assault rifles Y hasn’t it happened? Take a look in the mirror. If u voted for a GOP senator YOU are part of the problem. Nothing changes if we don’t vote to protect our kids.
First semester teaching in ND Mendoza College of Business is officially in the books 📚(pun intended😉). What an honor to be part of this faculty and to work with the next generation of leaders. Thoroughly enjoyed my class 💚 hope they learned as much as I did👩🏻💻👩🏻🏫
Maya Moore’s retirement brings back memories from the best rivalry in WBB. In her last game vs ND in the 2011FF she scored 36 pts including the last 12 of the game.We hung on to win thanks to Skylar’s 28, but what an amazing competitor. She was unstoppable. Good luck from ND🏀🍀
Congratulations to Tara Vanderveer
@StanfordWBB
on passing Pat Summit for most wins in Wbb history. A phenomenal accomplishment in your HOF career. 👊🏼🙌🏼
But could we talk about regionals??? They are supposed to be at neutral sites. I know the attendance hasn’t been great so let’s try something new - but holding a regional in someone’s backyard every year??? That has to change.
Congratulations to Tara Vanderveer
@StanfordWBB
for setting the record for most wins in ncaa men’s and women’s basketball history. An amazing accomplishment 🙌🏼. I’m sure Pat Summit is looking down from above and smiling😇
During this week of thanksgiving - I’m thankful I never worked for anyone who would ask me to choose allegiance to them over doing what is right. “One of the truest tests of integrity is it’s blunt refusal to be compromised.” Integrity matters
