Statement from Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin. Maybe my favorite response thus far.

Holy crap. The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds have cancelled their game tonight in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. To have this movement enter the world of baseball is like seeing a rock smash through a tank. It's damn near unfathomable.

It's history, not a wife in a hospital bed. You can't just walk away.

There was this NFL qb who was protesting this, saying you can’t cheer for us on the field and not give a shit what happens to us off the field. Other players joined his struggle. It was a whole thing. Not sure what became of him. Hey look! Red Zone!

This officer seems to have struck a handcuffed (and compliant) Tyreek Hill multiple times. On a busy street in Miami in the middle of the day. Unacceptable. Fire this idiot. x.com/chrisoIIey/sta…

Just consider how this was originally reported. Whenever the police are involved, the lie always comes first. Unwinding the lie then takes heavy work.

Philadelphia Eagles wise receiver Torrey Smith said in February that most of his teammates wouldn’t go to the White House. Here was his reason. Sounds about right.

Coaches leading high school prayers is deeply coercive. If you don’t understand that, then you didn’t play high school sports.

Just heard from Fadi that I was the first journalist in Paris to interview him. That staggers me and it says so goddam much. He has a story unlike any athlete in Paris and yet remains deliberately unheard. Makes me want to holler.

Just interviewed Fadi Deeb, the only Palestinian Olympian from Gaza as well as the only Palestinian Paralympian. An incredibly kind, incredibly resilient human being. Thank you to @leylahamed for the introduction.

As a Jew, I want to welcome anyone who wants to criticize a lobbying coalition funded by arms manufacturers, evangelical Christians, and allies of the right wing edge of Israeli politics. Criticizing AIPAC is not anti-Semitic and it’s absurd that this even needs to be said.

Just spoke to Gregg Popovich who called Trump a "soulless coward" for lying about Obama & Bush not calling families of fallen soldiers...
