The natural course of events set in motion by an industry that believed it’s own myth, self-built over decades, that it’s not really an industry. Time’s up.

Big development in college athlete litigation. Federal judge in PA just denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by college athletes claiming they are employees. It's very early in the process, but this could pave the way for college athletes to be recognized as employees.

Good thread. But keep in mind: Kids in US are no different than kids in Norway. They’re wired same, have same human needs. It’s not about turning TX into Norway. It’s about pulling good ideas, wherever they exist, to build better, child-centric US system. Stay tuned…

As @markstkhlm has said repeatedly, sports occurs within a particular socio-cultural context. You cannot make Texas sports like Norway’s without changing the entire culture. I’ve lived for 3 years in Scandinavia. It’s just not the same and never will be.

The key — bringing back community—based play, delivered by qualified adults. So they and families have options.

If Simone Biles has finally gotten the sports world to begin addressing mental health, the conversation has to include - and in fact begin - with what youth sports has become and the pressures put on kids at travel tournaments every weekend from the age of, in some cases, 7 or 8.

“Go out and play” was once the norm for kids. Extreme weather is making that harder. Conversations could begin around creating a climate-resilient childhood, such as prioritizing shade and park equity so kids can have free play. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

New study: Comparison of women’s collegiate soccer header kinematics by play state, intent, and outcome. Goal kick headers average 24.3g - more than the average football hit! 😲 We should ban headers off goal kicks. I bet $ it'll be a rule in 5 years. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

CA is expecting excessive heat beginning today and into early next week. With triple digit heat expected over the next several days, make sure to stay safe by keeping hydrated, finding shade, and taking breaks. Learn how to stay safe during a heat wave at weather.gov/heat
