winker? i hardly know 'er

the more i think about the new professional women's baseball league the sadder i get. groundbreaking in many ways, but by aggressively marketing themselves as groundbreaking, their silence on the most obvious exclusionary issue in sports today is all the more egregious. without any kind of explicit statement or policy in the matter, all that's left is speculation. there's rumors of trans women being quietly turned away from tryouts. it's a can that they're kicking down the road for as long as they can, but the worst part is that i can't entirely blame them for trying to avoid the issue as long as possible. the truth is that if they allow trans women to play, it will open their fragile and fledgling national organization up to unsurvivably expensive lawsuits from an unfriendly federal government and its extremely resource-rich allies, not to mention the uniquely dangerous threats and harassment that they will surely get from a full third-to-half of the country: .it's a pattern of attack deployed against school districts and athletic orgs all across the country, over and over, even in "safe" states like mine. this women's league is not the MLB and surely does not have the means to weather this level of targeted hostility and surely does not have the means to guarantee protection to their players, especially any trans ones. meanwhile, banning trans women from playing, it makes a very small and already unprofitable section of the population upset. it depresses me that, if i was trying to make the first ever racially integrated women's baseball league in american history, it's a no-brainer for the sake of lasting more than one season. and it depresses me that the most that i can hope for is that any official of the organization would just honestly admit to these circumstances when asked instead of trying to weasel out of it. or, yknow, instead of actually being glad to exclude us anyway.

must i need a reason to hate an athlete like is it not enough to just let my intuition tell me “you hate this man.” and be done with it

Okay new rule for David Stearns. No guys who’ve played for the brewers in the last three years unless their name is Tyrone Taylor.

this dumbass forgot to factor in the devil magic to his statistical models. Point and laugh!

Devin tried to make cookies but made a bunch of noise, triggered some smoke alarm and just put the speaker volume up too high. Now the whole bullpen is up trying to shut down the mixer that feels possessed and won’t turn off, the Spotify that is lagging and doesn’t pause so you just hear Mo Bamba at volume 100.
