McAfee sure is lucky he’s a man in sports if this is what turned him into a whiny baby; handling the criticism women get would be absolutely unbearable.

The wildest part about Pat McAfee's weird comment about the University of Utah is the video that provoked it... *this* is the video that broke him:

Look at you, Skye Blakely! Bronzes today on vault and uneven bars. That’s four medals in four events for her, with the balance beam still to come Sunday.

so the xx/xy group plan to 'protect women's sports' by infiltrating supporters' sections, whining online about being called names, then posting photos and trying to dox teams' most passionate fans? at this point not treating them like a hate group akin to the proud boys or kkk is willful ignorance.

Some hateful folks in the North End have their messaging blocked by flags and lead to a “Trans Lives Matter” chant

#Olympics Some Olympedia news. For the 1st time in memory the possible pending doping disqualification lists stands at just 4 people. 3 weightlifters and a rower all from the 2016 Rio Games.

Nancy did not mince her words here. "The U.S. men are a likeable bunch. They work hard, and no one can ever question how much they care. But they don't give out medals for congeniality at the Olympics or world championships."

U.S. women’s biggest competition was supposed to be Russia until Dutch officials denied their three best gymnasts visas. I’m no fan of lifting bans on Russia while it’s still raining hell on Ukraine. But host countries deciding who they like and don’t like is super problematic.

Bauers said earlier this week that he saw his first MLB game at Dodgers Stadium but didn’t have great memories of the place. Lost HS title game there, got swept last year. Got some pretty good memories now.

Not great!
