No kidding, right? She keeps saying that she wants the “discussion about socialism in this country” but never really says anything thoughtful (or factual?) about...well...anything really. It is simultaneously completely surprising and unsurprising that she was educated at both Stanford & Yale.

Plus, Watson transferred from Duke to UGA...so *maybe* Duke actually wasn’t thrilled with him being there. Or maybe Watson had some issues being at the same school that welcomed Richard Spencer and Stephen Miller - and whose founding story was about Washington Duke starting his tobacco fortune off his last Confederate…

For folks interested in learning more should check out Dr. Kevin Dawson’s _Undercurrents of Power_. Dawson explains/details how swimming and aquatic activity has long been a part of the African (diaspora) life, up to and including being forced to work as highly skilled divers & swimmers when enslaved in the US - and…

huh. interesting. thanks!

Wait. He called himself Captain Wales? As in Harry Wales?

That is so much better than Captain Windsor (which is what I assumed it be).

This interview with ESPN offers a *little* more specificity. Not as much as I’d like, to be honest, but it’s a little better than the video here: https://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-womens-world-cup/story/3867349/why-you-wont-see-ada-hegerbergthe-worlds-best-playerat-the-womens-world-cup

You should read the links that Moskovitz provides to research studies - especially the work by Karkazis & Jordan. (Oversimplified summary: While testosterone *may* help some people in their athletic endeavors, there is no reputable scientific study finding that the presence of naturally produced testosterone helps you…

Roger Pielke, Jr. - a professor at University of Colorado - and Katrina Karkazis - a research fellow at Yale - are both really good on twitter (and in other places) about this topic too.

As usual, your writing on a topic about sport & gender is illuminating and informing without over-simplifying. Hogshead-Makar posted that Quillette article (which, as you note is based on bad science from a bad data set) on the facebook page of an academic organization of which I am a member. For all of the reasons…

Maybe...but at this time relative to their elections, both Bush II and Clinton had already served as governors. They had actual political *work* to point to while building a national name. So, while I get your point, I am not sure it is the same.

I don’t believe you: Nobody on this site ever hates to tell someone that they’re wrong.

Also: James was a 1/2-brother (at best) so Jesus’s family is far from “traditional” - and as Whitlock states those produce the best products & prodigies.

Also also: your hang time joke is very good.

Another possible follow up for Jason Whitlock: “Only child? Broken home with no siblings to learn how to work things out? Yeah, of course Jesus of Nazareth was a loser who didn’t peak until he was 33 - and only had one good year.”

haha....I’ve heard it both ways! (oops)

India is in Asia.

Jeff Conine?

It’s also worth checking out Louis Moore’s books on race & sports. *We Will Win the Day* and *I For a Living*

I’m a sport studies scholar who doesn’t know much about this area of law. I put this same idea to my lawyer brother. He’s a patent & copyright lawyer, but he thought that although he didn’t know of any specific cases in this area, it could be a compelling legal argument. I’d appreciate seeing a lawyer make this…

So....what exactly is going on with Infrastructure Week?

This is a good point. Another observation about many of these folks’ ideas about colleges/universities: none of them seem to have really spent any time on college campuses in the last few years. I have worked on or around college campuses for almost two decades now and, based on my experiences, none of these students…
