Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe
Individually they’re amazing, but together they’re one of the greatest couples in sports. Bird won her fourth WNBA title with the Seattle Storm last month, and while in the Wubble she led the can’t-get-rid-of-her, let’s-help-her-lose movement to boost Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is now in a runoff against Republican Senator and Atlanta Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler. Rapinoe proposed to Bird in late October, and there may or may not have been happy squeals at this laptop when we saw that news.

Hill saw yet another Black man, this time Jacob Blake, shot by police officers in an incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin, about an hour south of Milwaukee. After protests began, teenager Kyle Rittenhouse came to Kenosha from out of state, allegedly shot three people, killing two, and was able to return all the way to his home before he was arrested. Hill had had enough, and desperate to do something, told coaches he wouldn’t play that night’s playoff game. His teammates followed, setting off a historic walkout.

The standard-bearers for athlete activism began the year negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement that raised wages, improved travel, and even provides a daycare stipend. Inside their Wubble, they dedicated their abbreviated season to Breonna Taylor, the woman slain in her own home by Louisville police, kept pushing for civil rights, and helped turn Warnock from a face in a crowd to front-runner.

I am thankful for Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence, and soccer referee Mike Dean. All for purely selfish $$$ reasons.
And I just like that kid Trevor.
What a steaming pile of manure.
You:
“It’s Christmas Eve, and I’m in the mood to post a steaming pile of s**t.”
Is this the same scribbler who enthused about the incomprehensible ghetto babblings of the latest addition to the broadcast booth?
OHMIGAWD!
Yep
Breonna Taylor, the woman living with her drug dealer boyfriend and actively involved in his business... shot when her boyfriend fired on the police.
When I first glanced at this I thought it said "Yahoo Sports Communist"! It's bad when they need 3 "journalists" to write one propaganda article.
We haven’t watched one sports event since the first kneeling. it’s been fabulous.
I can’t explain silence.

There are many great athletes. Most are four-legged and eat hay, oats and peppermints and perform at venues like Saratoga, Gulfstream, Laurel and Del Mar.
