1. Scandalous pastors don’t speak for me — Morehouse included.

2. “Leadership” can’t start/end a boycott — the people do.

3. I don’t remember that place extending a public apology.

4. Where are the receipts?

5. Your drama shouldn’t be more memorable than your sermons.

“Silver, Kornet & Horford are performative allies. They’re neighbors who would report you to the homeowners’ association for missing shingles in the middle of a tornado. They lose sight of the bigger picture by being fixated on minutiae.“

“(Silver) is taking the easy way out by diverting attention from the real issues…Kornet and Horford used this situation as a catalyst to discuss the “mistreatment of women,” when they’ve stayed mum about the men they’ve played against who have attacked/threatened women.”

Miles Bridges & Jaxson Hayes are still in the league. A coach was connected to organized crime in a FBI gambling investigation.

But, chicken wings and rap music crossed the line?

I wrote about Magic City and the absurdity of Adam Silver and the NBA.

You Got ‘The Look’ from Hillary Clinton? Just go home. You're done.

my latest for @contrariannews.org - as MAGAs on the house oversight committee peppered her with ridiculous questions, Hillary Clinton gave many of them *the look*, her now-famous indication that you are a fool.

You do not want to get *the look*.

Between the injuries to Duke, Michigan & Texas Tech, this March Madness is Arizona & Florida’s to lose.

ICYMI from this week:

I wrote about Friday’s pointless meeting at the White House.

The absence of college athletes proved that Trump can summon whomever he wants whenever he wants.

Duke packed Carolina up.

Then we won a chip and sent them country boys back to Skegee!

“He’s using you to do something else…He’s always going to co-opt.” - Megan Rapinoe on Trump.

The “College Sports Roundtable” is today at the White House.

It’s the latest examples of how the sports world and athletes keeps letting Trump make fools of them.

Reason #7383837483838 why I keep telling people that “celebrity coaches” at HBCUs ain’t it and never will be.

“It’s the ultimate meeting that could have been an email.

“Scratch that. It’s an email that should have stayed a draft.”

I’ve screamed for years — and wrote columns/made TV & podcast appearances — about how these athletes view HBCUs as subpar and only a want to coach at them because a PWI wouldn’t take them serious.

Eddie George & DeSean Jackson have been the only ones to prove me wrong.

Stop this.

ICYMI from this week:

I wrote about why Jaylen Brown needs to keep his foot on the neck of Beverly Hills.

carronjphillips.substack.com/p/jaylen-bro...

And about how white people across the globe are obsessed with yelling the N-word at Black people.

From Award Shows to Basketball Games, Caucasians Keep Shouting the N-Word The obsession with uttering the one word that should never be said is peak white rage.

Another Black person had the N-word shouted at him.

Happy Black History Month. (Insert sarcasm.)
