- my heart is heavy for Joseph Ossai. he’s 22 years old & put his whole being into winning this game but arrived at the biggest moment of his life one second too slow. if you raged, gloated or said “how could he” think if this was your son, brother or friend.
- with the death of Dwayne Haskins still unfolding, i encourage all of us in the media to reflect on how we can cover athletes as human beings more than “pieces,” “assets” and commodities used to obtain more money and glory.
- Iverson leading the comeback with Kobe guarding him. Kobe hitting Js over Mutombo down the stretch. Marbury coming up clutch. This is what an All-Star game should look like. These dudes wanted to win! Thank you @Ballislife for digging in the crates:
- A giant in her field has passed. She authored the study showing that white job applicants with a felony record were more likely to get an interview than black applicants with NO criminal record at all. Rest in power, Dr. Devah Pager 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
- Today is the 45th day of Dannielle Brown's hunger strike. She is seeking access from Duquesne U. to all records related to the death of her son Jaylen, who police say jumped from his 16th floor dorm room. My story about her plight for @TheUndefeated: theundefeated.com/features/mothe…

- At Olympic press conference for only black woman to win individual swimming medal, I'm the only black journalist. 🤔
00:00 - Yo @WatchJRoss, I just asked @usainbolt about your 40-yard challenge. Here's the 🐐message to all y'all chasing his crown:
00:00 - no disrespect at all to Colorado. but Deion framed him coaching JSU as elevating Black colleges that have been systematically drained of resources and talent. now he has become Exhibit A of why HBCUs struggle.Replying to @jessewashingtonHope you get a chance to visit boulder. It's a special place.
GIF - if the destination was Florida State or another top echelon team, i’d get it. but Colorado? that cheapens what Deion Sanders built at Jackson State and sends a message that a bad football program at a white college is better than the best HBCU. this ain’t it, Prime.Sources: Deion Sanders and his associates have spent the week recruiting on-field staff, support staff and transfer portal players to Colorado. While a deal isn’t finalized, Sanders has been preparing for his exit to Boulder for after the SWAC title game. espn.com/college-footba…
- Replying to @dspin65when i finally saw him with his helmet off and realized how young he was i was like, wow, this requires a different lens.
