“He’s using you to do something else…He’s always going to co-opt.” - Megan Rapinoe on Trump.
The “College Sports Roundtable” is today at the White House.
It’s the latest examples of how the sports world and athletes keeps letting Trump make fools of them.

My latest on the waste of time that’s taking place at the White House right now.

10 best college basketball teams I’ve ever seen:
90/91 UNLV
1996 Kentucky
1998 Carolina
1999 Duke
2001 Duke
2008-2010 UConn women (90-game win streak)
2011 (Before Kyrie’s toe injury) Duke
2014-2017 UConn women (111- game win streak)
2015 Kentucky
2025 Duke
I’ve screamed for years — and wrote columns/made TV & podcast appearances — about how these athletes view HBCUs as subpar and only a want to coach at them because a PWI wouldn’t take them serious.
Eddie George & DeSean Jackson have been the only ones to prove me wrong.
Stop this.
ICYMI from this week:
I wrote about why Jaylen Brown needs to keep his foot on the neck of Beverly Hills.

And about how white people across the globe are obsessed with yelling the N-word at Black people.

Another Black person had the N-word shouted at him.
Happy Black History Month. (Insert sarcasm.)

From yesterday
A few days ago, we found out it happened at a HS basketball game in Michigan.
Before that, an awards show in London.
I wrote about how white folks keep yelling the N-Word at Black people — during Black History Month.

Children and teens watch and imitate vile behavior.
My latest:
Read it.
Share it.
Sit with it.
Discuss it.
Then read it again.

“Brown has become a reminder of just how powerful sports can be when athletes use their platforms for change. Ironically, this is taking place when it has felt like the “athlete activist” had gone extinct.”

They shut down his event for no reason.
Lied about why.
Then “apologized.”
I wrote about how law enforcement has overreached during this administration, and why Jaylen Brown has to hold their feet to the fire.

editorial cartoon depicting white woman screaming at Black teenager integrating her school on left and New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis screaming at Black Rep. Al Green as he was escorted out of the state of the union for silently holding a “Black people aren’t apes!” sign on the right. cartoon caption is “same shit”

Instead of centering that harm, the cultural conversation has pivoted, and suddenly the white man is the fragile one while Black anger and side-eye are the problem.

While Trump continues deploying language that dehumanizes entire communities, the Democratic Party keeps responding with symbolism.

“Duke is never the underdog!” - Quinn Cook
TV personality Stephen A. Smith has floated a presidential run.
His ambition isn’t disqualifying — but when the motivation is rooted in self-promotion and personal gain, we have to question it.
@carronjphillips.bsky.social goes deeper.

“The legacies of other Black figures who ran for president — Obama, Harris, Frederick Douglass, Shirley Chisolm, Carol Moseley Braun — highlight the ridiculousness of the idea that Smith is qualified to throw his hat in this race.”

Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns paved the way for Obama. A Stephen A. Smith campaign would encourage more incompetence.
I wrote about how Jackson’s death highlights the absurdity of Smith’s political aspirations.

We’re really close to living in a world where Indiana has 2 NFL franchises and Illinois has zero.
