Wanted to find a way to cover Israel’s War in Gaza that felt appropriate as a sports journalist.

my texts are blowing up with this tweet — and I am confident this will not be handled appropriately because sports teams are so bad at crisis comms — but the most appropriate thing would be for JJ to publicly acknowledge and apologize for doing this.

This requires a full investigation by the Lakers, by Duke, and by sports media. If the allegation is true—and I have no reason to believe it isn’t—this is only possible in a team/institutional culture that would condone that kind of language.

Transferring children away from the target group is in the definition of genocide and something we've been rightly appalled with when Russia steals Ukranian kids. I hope someone is keeping an eye on the Evangelical agencies as they like to steal kids who aren't orphans and weren't given up.

The complete massacre of athletic figures and destruction of athletic facilities in Gaza is yet another facet of this atrocity.

Israel simply should not be permitted to compete in the Olympics or any other international competition.

An estimated 21,000 children are missing in Gaza. This is separate from the 14,000 children who have been documented as killed (murdered).

The depravity speaks for itself.
