"While Caitlin is fantastic and I think she's going to have an incredible career in the WNBA, there were women who were worthy of coverage prior to her, and I will not be silenced when it comes to that." - @McNuttMonica sets the record straight on the WNBA and Caitlin Clark

MLB using “a newly integrated statistical database covering records from Negro Leagues that operated from 1920 to 1948. The formal acceptance of the data comes three-and-a-half years after MLB officially recognized the Negro Leagues as major leagues in December 2020”

Half of Canadians are women. Yet we “know less about almost every aspect of female biology than we do about male biology”. There are sex-based differences in disease, diagnosis, response to treatment and outcomes. I asked the government questions on women’s health.

Canada will put Viola Desmond on the $10 bill for refusing to move her seat, but then people don’t want to support @SarahJama_ when she refuses to move her seat. Always want to celebrate Black protest once Black people are safely dead.

Remember when Naomi Osaka was fined for refusing to speak to the press at the French Open? And now this today. Female athletes should not have to endure and navigate situations like this. Ever.

France's ban on hijab in sports is not only a violation of Sports and Rights, it is a stain on the event and the hosts. If only the IOC had the courage to act. Forcing women out of clothing is as violent as forcing them into it.

The Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC), which independently investigates abuse allegations in elite Canadian amateur sports, has made public a registry of adults who have been sanctioned for misconduct. The registry, which went live today, lists five people - three linked to Volleyball Canada, one to Skate Canada and one to Rugby Canada - who have been suspended for issues including sexual maltreatment and boundary transgressions including grooming. The registry also lists 21 people who are facing provisional sanctions, which are temporary suspensions imposed on a person who is subject to an investigation. The OSIC mostly investigates complaints linked to national team programs. While some national and provincial sport organizations such as Athletics Canada and the Ontario Volleyball Association already maintain public registries, others including Hockey Canada have refused to do so.

A public registry documenting adults who have been sanctioned for misconduct in Canadian amateur sports is scheduled to go live this week. It's unclear how much detail will be included about why people have been suspended or banned and the registry, maintained by the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner, will mostly feature people linked to national team programs. While some national and provincial sport organizations such as Athletics Canada and the Ontario Volleyball Association already maintain public registries, others including Hockey Canada have refused to do so.
