When Paris last hosted the Olympic Games in 1924, just over 4 percent of the competitors were women. “The struggle for equality, equal opportunity and inclusion have not necessarily been a linear one, but certainly I think we have come a long way," @ProfCooky tells @TheStephSy

“Good Game” launched today! Check out where all the magic happens—a place I affectionately call my “Radio Hole” (we still doing phrasing?). Cool neon sign, foam walls, absolutely no air flow or A.C. I’m gonna be sweatin’ like a sore ass in spin class 😂 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/goo…

"Apparently there's no joie de vivre allowed for you in sports if you are a Muslim woman who chooses to cover." My latest for @cbcsports is on the hijab ban in France and how gender parity at the Olympics is selective at best. cbc.ca/sports/olympic…

Filing under “it’s never too late” to talk about women’s sports… ⁦@espn⁩ made a separate category for ⁦⁦@CaitlinClark22⁩ in its scrolling ticker. Anyone seen this before- with other athletes? Or is the #caitlinclarkeffect

After winning major tournaments @USWNTPlayers echoing @dawnstaley’s post-game interview, use their platform to support lgbtqia+ and trans rights. Proving what winning truly means. This is the new era in women’s sports. Advocacy for equality for all athletes. U.S.A.! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

A statement from USWNT Players.

The NFL is stoked the 'Taylor Swift effect' is growing its ratings & profits. But what will it mean for the women the league is silencing? Check out this clip from our new doc Behind the Shield w/ Dave Zirin. bit.ly/48kydAH @EdgeofSports @melanietc @meganimbert


Baby, let the games begin… @taylorswift13

Looks like ⁦@StephenCurry30⁩ cited me in his senior thesis on gender equality in sports. Excited to see the research in #Underrated. Hope it helps move the needle for all girls and women. ⁦@StephenCurry30⁩ let me know if I can be of more help in your efforts! 💯
