Wanted to find a way to cover Israel’s War in Gaza that felt appropriate as a sports journalist. Here’s my angle on Israel’s war on Palestinian Athletes. open.substack.com/pub/wideleft...

Ben Natan: Israel's War on Palestinian Athletesopen.substack.com As we approach the Olympic games and the World Cup, Israel's demolition of Palestinian sporting culture deserves its own scrutiny.

Where’s the Iie 😬

They've already killed at least 50 over the past 25 years.

How extreme heat affects young athleteswww.pbs.org Summer sports camps and pre-season training often have kids running hard in high heat and humidity. The combination can be deadly.

This shit is absolutely abusive and these coaches are personally accountable for any harm that befalls the literal kids they are subjecting to these inhumane conditions.

Thrilled to know we got water in the woke wars.

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.

Absolutely incredible conversation with Charlotte Phillips about what it’s like to play for the Palestine Women’s Soccer team in this moment. She holds nothing back.

Ep. 144: “We Hear the Voices of the Children In Gaza” @derekcrim.bsky.social + @nkalamb.bsky.social talk to Palestinian Soccer + York’s Charlotte Phillips about repping Palestine during the Gaza genocide, the student protest movement + the role of athletes theendofsport.podbean.com/e/episode-14...

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.

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. www.savethechildren.org.uk/news/media-c...

Hey look, Israel has spent at least $8.6 million to shape US and European discourse in the genocide it is committing. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

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. www.newarab.com/news/palesti...

Sad to say that number is still lower than the real numbers... and there are also kidnapped children held captive, or murdered already. Dark times...

🧵 on football, for all you fans out there.

“The 6 months where I was going through concussion symptoms and continuing to engage in football was the worst time of my life. I was depressed. I experienced suicidal ideation. I was ashamed." On former P5 OL Jabo Burrow and the toll of head injury in CFB. www.theguardian.com/sport/articl...

Universities should not subject their students to brain damage

"The game is inherently dangerous for your brain and the reality is that the sport has spent the last few decades purposefully pushing that fact under the rug. It pains me to say that." - Jabo Burrow New argument for the abolition of college football just dropped.
