Congratulations to @nyu_journalism’s @FirstAmendWatch for launching the SLAPP Back Initiative, a tracker that documents alleged SLAPPS.
SLAPPS are meritless or malicious legal actions that can silence critical voices, including journalists.

NEW: The U.S. Center for SafeSport has banned Brendan Kerry, a prominent Australian figure skater, for "sexual misconduct involving a minor." @DanMurphyESPN and I have details from the confidential summary of the investigation. espn.com/olympics/story/_/id…
New from Dan and I: The system for safeguarding athletes in U.S. Olympic sports might be on the cusp of a major revamp, with an independent commission set to propose sweeping changes and lawmakers saying they are standing by to act.
Some in Congress say it's time to rewrite laws aimed at keeping athletes safe from abuse. Soon, they'll be armed with a two-year review of USOPC and SafeSport and some ambitious recommendations for a revamped system. Details with @pamadden:

Loved the @TJQuinnESPN & @PabloTorre deep-dive on Putin's use of sports as an instrument of political power & influence on @espn Daily. I would also submit for your consideration our investigation of chess as a Russian asset: fivethirtyeight.com/features….
According to the Mueller report, chess was an unlikely nexus of characters central to the Trump-Russia drama & may have represented another avenue of Russian outreach to the Trump campaign: abcnews.go.com/Politics/muel…
