I can’t put into perspective what it means for me to be a Black woman professor at a top journalism program. In college, I had no Black woman professors. Seeing is believing and representation matters. I’m privileged to carry the torch and be what I didn’t see in the classroom.

I feel bad for Max Kellerman. Man is just trying to live his life and work and he has to keep seeing himself tend on social media for old issues & slander. In the end I hope Max wins. I enjoyed him. Was he perfect ? No but none of us are. But he’s worked to get into his position.

Dangerous narrative Kim Mulkey is setting. By not answering media questions and averting the Angel Reese situation, it has allowed people to craft, create and spin their own narrative on her. Her “protection” is looking like alienation, which makes Reese have to fend for herself.

For folks that don’t get it calling Lamar Jackson just a “great athlete” is highly offensive. The man is a top QB in this league. Time and time again talk love the goal posts for him and time and time again he exceeds expectations but it’s not enough. Put respect on man’s name.

Eric Bieniemy really took a chance on the Washington Commanders, just to have players go and tell that he's too "intense." For a team that missed the playoffs last year is there really such a thing as too much intensity? Don't you want a coach to make you practice and play better

This is why I love when people speak. They usually end up telling on themselves. Coach Phil Jackson is no different, mind you folks were just asking for Black people not be killed.
As the great Maya Angelou said, "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time."
Phil Jackson says he hasn’t watched the NBA since the Bubble:
“They even had slogans on the floor and the baseline. It was trying… to bring a certain audience to the game, and they didn't know it was turning other people off. People want to see sports as non-political.”

Sean Payton was never an advocate for Russell Wilson. Time and time again Coach showed us who he was undermining and embarrassing him.
