Really happy to see such a high profile (and extremely religious) women’s basketball coach reflexively and confidently answer “yes” to this attempted gotcha question
For the first time in 20 years, the NBA began its season with no Black-owned franchises. In fact, there’s been only one Black majority-owned team in league history 🏀
A century ago, one of the top pre-NBA professional franchises began play in Harlem thanks to the efforts of a Black business owner named Bob Douglas.
I’m here like many people escaping Twitter. I’m hoping there’s a mass influx. I mostly use social media as a way to curate my interests.
I’m an IT Product Manager living in the US Midwest. I’m into women’s #basketball, American #football, and #technology in general. I’m a stereotypical US dad coaching my kids sports teams
I'm a comic book writer in the #UK, making Cyberpunk and Space Opera #comics with my wife - illustrator, Jennie Gyllblad. (And our faithful #dog, who QAs every page via sniffing.)

Video games, LeBron James, tattoos, and copyright law, in one story? The internet is really spoiling us today. @polygon reports on a long-drawn-out case in which tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden is suing Take-Two Interactive Software, makers of the NBA 2K video games, over the use of tattoos he made for LeBron James that were reproduced in games from 2016 to 2020. Hayden's attorney argues that Take-Two "painstakingly copied" the designs. Take-Two's team says that James' tattoos are a very small part of NBA 2K, and that James has licensed his own likeness to Take-Two, so a ruling in favor of Hayden would mean James would have to ask Hayden for permission to license his own being. Here are all the details, plus background on other cases in which tattoo artists have sued video game companies. What do you think?
I can’t find anything to disagree with. Those kids and their coaches deserve to be in a safe place. The Mayor of Coeur d’alene and the governor can say all the words they want, but the hate mongers have a haven that’s at least as old as I am. They’re there. They’ve been there. And they’ll stay there as long as they’re allowed.

I have no idea if anyone reading this likes to play Fantasy Basketball but I'm running a 12 team league and we have a couple of spots open!
Ask me anything if you have questions about how it works, or just go ahead and sign up if you already know how to play. It's a free league, we have managers from all over NA, but we're open to everyone.
Eventually, Hoopfeed will leave Xitter completely. Thanks to all of the fans here on Mastodon for the follow and engagement! You are appreciated and admired for stepping away from the hellscape of a platform where racism/sexism/misogyny/homophobia/transphobia and hate-filled rhetoric continue to rise unabated!
We wanted to start our own instance but it is too costly right now. So we're going to stay on mastodon.social for the time being.
A good column by Sally Jenkins. Collegiate women teams have been playing #Basketball since at least the 70s. Apparently out of spite, the #NCAA doesn't "count" records set before 1981 (pre Title 9) by collegiate women athletes. This as Caitlin Clark closes in on a scoring record. I'm astonished by NCAA's erasure. Meanwhile, NCAA recognizes football records going back a hundred years, before there was an NCAA.
