Sports was not in our immediate game plan (heh) when we launched The 19th, but over the years it has become clear how these stories belong in our coverage. So game on! We’re launching a sports desk and looking for a sports reporter. Learn more and apply here: https://bit.ly/4i5Cn7B

Great news! Jazzy did NOT give herself a concussion when she ran into a wall during a bout of the zoomies.

Loved this. No one knows what a real market size is as far as MLB is concerned. Always made me angry when the SF Giants would be called "big market" while the Oakland A's were "small market" despite being in the same media market. Oh and follow @jenramose.online for MLB stuff. You won't regret it.
it's The Small Market World Series — but what is a small market actually? I break that down for y'all here ⤵️ leftonbase.beehiiv.com/p/what-small...
alright so since this loser in my replies also called these women "Barbie dolls" I am going to make this very extremely clear: this is actually sexist and misogynistic! if you're supposedly a "feminist," women should be allowed to take on any career they want! please do not be like this loser!

The lockout is 40 days away. When it comes to a salary cap, everyone at the World Series — commissioner, players, owner, union leader — is saying, well, exactly what you'd expect. Trevor Megill: "No cap, no floor, it’s not happening." www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

there's a lot of variation with market sizes in the grand scheme of everything. @bmmillsy.bsky.social explains more ⤵️ leftonbase.beehiiv.com/p/what-small...

I wonder why Attanasio, a member of the MLB labor relations committee, might be saying this
@JonHeyman tweeted Brewers owner Mark Attanasio tells us why baseball, while in a “great place,” needs a cap. “It’s been 44 years, and … there’s a sense in the community it might be another 44 years.” YouTube: https://t.co/EhvCFLNyss Apple: https://t.co/SftQwb6Ru2 Spotify: https://t.co/Ur244TPkrQ

From @sararuberg.bsky.social: Student journalists were talking to UMD athletes. Then police showed up. www.thebanner.com/education/hi...
hmm: "Steinbrenner added that the aim for the money from Apollo was to provide the Yankees with more “financial stability for years and years to come.”" thinking about how Steinbrenner is on the labor relations committee. I'm sure that's not at all connected
Hal Steinbrenner: No plan to sell Yankees despite $2.6 billion Apollo deal
