Worth noting: Brooke Slusser, the player involved in the lawsuit against her own teammate (who is trans), didn’t talk to WaPo or SF Chronicle or ESPN. The NYT is the first non-Fox News/Outkick/Fox affiliate she’s talked to. Which says a lot about what the NYT has become: a safe space for transphobes

The NYT is out here letting people misgender their trans teammate in the paper of record while not including any trans voices in the story at all. Just out here amplifying the hate from the bigoted side without doing anything to challenge it. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/u...

And a team (possibly) winning a conference championship because of teams refusing to play them is a story anyway.
@julietmacur.bsky.social is just another Vichy Times whore.

I dumped the Times 2 years ago... I haven’t looked back.

VICTIM STABBED 28 TIMES....
“Mindy’s opponents claim that she can flip over cars, fell a tree with a single swing, and even that she once drank 156 beers in a sitting”.
I guess partly it's a function of vertical leap, but there's also a lot of magical thinking.
CIS women are now being attacked for having masculine qualities. Some people are born with physical advantages. That's life.
The average speed of 50mph seems to match what the average is for professional women's players. No idea how college athletes compare to professionals, though.

"Excellent journalist" and "writes anti-trans hit pieces" don't go together, for me.
Doesn't matter; I've kicked the Vichy Times to the curb, period. Never again.
She chose evil.
Only kind of fun, though
