Venus Williams hails “beast” Megan Rapinoe on Title IX anniversary
On the 50th anniversary of Title IX , the landmark legislation mandating equal opportunities for men's and women's participation in sports, tennis champion Venus Williams hailed soccer star Megan Rapinoe, calling her a "beast."

“Cruelty is the point”: Tearful Megan Rapinoe blasts Roe v. Wade decision
Megan Rapinoe emotionally denounced the Supreme Court overturning national abortion rights as intentionally "cruel," saying the bombshell decision would "affect everyone in the entire country." The Olympic gold medalist made the remarks Friday during a pregame news conference ahead of the U.S. women's national soccer team ( USWNT ) match. Rapinoe joined the chorus of abortion-rights voices speaking out against the nation's highest for court striking down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. "I think the cruelty is the point, because this is not pro-life by any means," she said. Rapinoe said the "way of thinking" behind the decision is accompanied by a lack of action on gun laws, as well as support for childcare, food assistance, health care and other social services. Speaking to reporters, Rapinoe encouraged people to "understand the intersectionality of" the Court's decision, linking it to a broader assault on the rights of women, as well as LGBTQ communities. "You can … [Read more...] about “Cruelty is the point”: Tearful Megan Rapinoe blasts Roe v. Wade decision
Megan Rapinoe Backs Trans Athletes, Says ‘Your Kid’s High School Volleyball Team Just Isn’t That Important’
Soccer star Megan Rapinoe defended biological males competing in female sports in an interview with Time Magazine published Sunday. “I’m 100% supportive of trans inclusion,” Rapinoe said when asked about bills which banned biological males from competing in women and girls sports . “Frankly, I think what a lot of people know is versions of the right’s talking points because they’re very loud,” Rapinoe continued. “They’re very consistent, and they’re relentless.” Rapinoe told Time that sports was not as important as inclusivity of transgender athletes, and that the lives of trans kids were at stake in the debate.

Athletes react to Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade
U.S. national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe expressed her anger Friday over the Supreme Court’s decision to strip the nation’s constitutional protections for abortion, decrying an erosion of rights that women have had for a generation. “I think the cruelty is the point because this is not pro-life by any means,” said Rapinoe, who was close to tears at times as she expressed her outrage. The always outspoken Rapinoe was joined by some of the country’s leading sports figures in publicly sharing their dismay, anger and concern after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a woman’s constitutional right to abortion. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James tweeted that the ruling was about “power and control,” and he retweeted a couple of posts about the effect of the decision on Black women. In a joint statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said the leagues “believe that women should be able to make their own decisions … [Read more...] about Athletes react to Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v.

An ER Doctor’s ‘Third Way’ Approach to the Gun Crisis
Nearly 15 years ago, a young man who had shot himself in the head with his father’s gun was wheeled into the emergency room where Megan Ranney worked. Despite her team’s best efforts, the patient died. “It was the first firearm suicide I’d ever taken care of,” Ranney, an emergency physician and public-health expert in Rhode Island, told me. In the days after, Ranney found herself wondering about the circumstances that had landed that boy in her hospital. What had made that gun so easily accessible? Why had he reached for it? What had failed to stay his hand? In the decade-plus since, many, many more firearm injuries have crossed her path—“truly, I can’t even count the number of folks I’ve taken care of who have been shot,” she said. Each year, guns kill tens of thousands of people in the United States; on Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman added at least 21 more to 2022’s horrific tally, when he entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and opened fire in a fourth-grade … [Read more...] about An ER Doctor’s ‘Third Way’ Approach to the Gun Crisis
Prince William Capitol riots letter got different response to Meghan, Harry
Prince William's heartfelt letter to the partner of Capitol riot police officer Brian Sicknick delved into U.S. politics but did not draw the criticism often levelled at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . The Duke of Cambridge's gesture clearly touched grieving Sandra Garza who told CNN on Friday that he had "reached out to honor Brian's memory." The move was well-received in the British media, with the Daily Mail noting how it "breaks from the royal tradition of not weighing in to politics at home or overseas" but without explicitly criticizing him. The wider commentariat also did not subject William to the kind of backlash that Harry and Meghan have faced when straying into U.S. politics, which at its height included calls for them to stripped of their royal titles. One factor may be sensitivity towards the tragic loss of Garza's partner. However, Meghan was subject to criticism from a more limited number of commentators after a visit to Uvalde to pay respects to Texas … [Read more...] about Prince William Capitol riots letter got different response to Meghan, Harry
