In 2011 I launched Ruling Sports as a sports law blog. Since, I've written for major publications, interviewed top athletes and saw the ins-and-outs of sport. Now, I'm reimagining Ruling Sports. The trailer for my new podcast, Ruling Sports, is live: open.spotify.com/show/0kVjW83A5…

This is why we can’t have nice things. I was trying to take a picture of the lobster roll I ordered in Maine and well, this happened 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

This my favorite LeBron story. During the Finals in 2014, the locker room was filled to the brim with everyone huddled around his locker. A camera man literally moved me out of the way. LeBron saw. He looked at the guy and said, “apologize to her.” It. Was. EPIC.

Friendly reminder @ussoccer: The US Women's National Soccer team is ranked 1 & they're paid less than a team that just missed the World Cup.

There are 510,000 NCAA athletes. Charlie Baker says less than TEN are transgender. It is absolutely wild that Congress can fast track this, yet for over four years it has fumbled the employee status, F-1 visa and other NIL issues impacting schools and over 100k NCAA athletes.

NEW: The House is fast-tracking a bill to ban trans athletes from competing in women's sports. The bill, which was reintroduced Friday, is part of a rules package that makes 12 bills a priority for the new Congress. frontofficesports.com/house-to-fast-…

Everything I’ve seen from this rally is the antithesis of Christianity. It is disgusting, vitriolic and hateful. If you want to support it, that’s on you. But we don’t know the same God if you believe God has sent this.

I’m sorry. If this is your team, you don’t deserve the respect of decent people until you condemn this ugliness that your leaders keep putting on stages for you to cheer. Until then, I’m assuming you’re sitting there clapping along to this, too.

Huge allegation against USA Gymnastics in a lawsuit filed by Olympian, McKayla Maroney. Maroney alleges USA Gymnastics paid her to not speak about being sexually abused by a team doctor. If true, this is unforgivable and USA Gymnastics should pay huge punitive damages.

Women can commit domestic violence. The allegations of violence against FIU TE, Jonnu Smith, are heartbreaking:
