Happy to share this work, written with @Simonthecurler Here we explore the creation of a sporting age order, through the valourization of the young and the disregard and diminishment of the old. Enjoy! Please message if you want to read it in full. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Scathing new report from @nbmediacoop on UNB's surveillance + regulation of anti-genocide protests. UNB's head of security told police there had been numerous complaints about 'river to the sea,' even tho literally *no formal complaints were received.* nbmediacoop.org/2024/11/14/uni…

"That the path of Canadian universities to 'political neutrality' and 'institutional autonomy' passes through the killing fields of Gaza represents a moral abdication of unparalleled proportions, and one that must not be ignored." - Viqar Husain nbmediacoop.org/2024/11/11/neu…

This isn't a surprise. Men's elite-level hockey, including the @NHL, is tightly aligned with far right view encouraged and embolden by Donald Trump.

Yeah, heaven forbid we acknowledge Palestinians are people and thus shouldn’t have their athletes murdered and stadiums desecrated as part of a genocidal campaign to eradicate them from their land. That would be real downer.

Who wants to listen to *seven people* lecture you about “how sport has intersected with the oppression of Palestinians” ?

Let me assure you it’s infinitely better than listening to even a second of trash that comes out of @jonkay’s mouth.

Who would have guessed that most Republicans would still vote for Trump despite the best efforts of the Democrats to be Republicans.

This is so vile.

Al-Bireh, West Bank — The occupation forces fired tear gas and sound bombs at Majed Asaad Stadium during a training session for the Palestine women's and youth national teams. When the IOF aren't murdering children, they're harassing them. Beyond sickening.

This is seriously fucked, though. Y’all realize that, right?

100+ women players called on FIFA to reconsider its partnership with Saudi Aramco, in light of the human rights violations committed by the country. But they won’t speak up for female Palestinian footballers getting tear gassed by Israel while they train in the West Bank.

So privileged to attend @NASSSport's excellent keynote panel on "sport in a time of genocide." Well done @nkalamb, @Derekcrim, Chen Chen & Jay Laurendeau!

Covid ripped through my daughter’s school mid-Sep and a month later we know a half dozen kids plus many adults at the school with pneumonia. It’s only Nov 1st. 😩

It's so lovely to be included @NASSSport Thank you for all your efforts to make this accessible.

This is an amazing opportunity we’re offering at @StThomasU this summer. If you know a young person who is interested in trying out @stugreatbooks in particular they’ll have the chance to do that here.

We are proud to announce a partnership with Shad Canada that will allow grade 10 and 11 students from across the country to enjoy the ShadOnCampus experience at St. Thomas University. Read more: bit.ly/4e2GKuQ

Yes, it is. Now maybe Western media should start calling it what it is.
