Now it's officially spring.

The only GOP congressman Iβve seen so far saying this
Sports columnist Jim Souhan has some strong words for the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team:
"They also reminded us that there is a vast difference between winning games and being a hero."
I like a lot of these, but I like them a lot less at the prices they're going for.
I get that costs are rising, but turning fans into walking billboards in your community is generally a good thing. That's easier if the jersey is more affordable.
It was never about fairness in high school sports, it was always about destroying trans peopleβs lives
1. Womens rosters should be expanded to six
2. Men need to further support the women curlers in their lives, particularly those with small children
Eric Ramsay walked away from a *very* good thing at Minnesota Utd to take charge of West Brom towards the bottom of the Championship. No wins in 9 games and he's sackedβjust a couple of days after the 2026 MLS season kicked off. Timing is cruel.
Couldnβt do it on a rainy day (home to) Stoke
in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
I once went to a D1 school around the time Unsportsmanlike Conduct came out and I was talking with the AD and his people, and they asked me about how to asses the culture of their program. My answer: "Do all the athletes feel like the men are superior to the women? Start there. It all start there."
In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

Jessie Diggins finishes 5th in her final Olympic race β the first women's 50km at the Olympics.
It's a race she helped push for after decades where the men raced 50km and the women only got to do 30km.
No medal today, but a huge victory.

In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the β89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?
Coming in Friday's @startribune.com: Team USA is golden again. www.startribune.com/2026-winter-...
5 women, one women's team, and one mixed team have won Olympic gold medals for Team USA at these Olympics. Meanwhile, just one individual male athlete and no men's teams have won gold medals for Team USA
Makes you wonder: when will America start investing in men's sports
