Thinking of Mark Bingham, gone 25 years today. His bravery, before and during Flight 93, changed the world. His efforts to build gay rugby helped it flourish in the wake of his death, giving so many men a space they needed. villagevoice.com/field-of-qu…

But I also thought of him frequently over the last year, as @kylegoon embedded with the Ferals, part of the gay and inclusive @BmoreFlamingos rugby club, to tell the story of trans women healing and thriving through, of all sports, rugby. thebanner.com/sports/rugby-b…
A trans ban came to rugby. Baltimore’s Ferals played on.

In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing with other women at all levels. Something interesting happened: Many teams refused to listen.

Not long after our story ran and exposed the people we wrote about to the internet culture war mob, members of the Flamingos boarded a plane bound for Australia and a gathering of thousands of friends who'd also found joy and peach in rugby — at the 13th Bingham Cup.

I caught up with CJ Abrams on the 50/50 split between second base and shortstop, and what it means for him the rest of this season. Paul Toboni also discussed what he's seen from the All-Star shortstop of late. thebanner.com/sports/nationa…
Nationals’ CJ Abrams will now split time between second base and shortstop

Nationals’ CJ Abrams will now split time between second base and shortstop

“Because I see myself as a shortstop and [think] that I can be a great shortstop,” Abrams told The Banner on Tuesday. “Being able to have a chance to show [the front office] that, it is big."

This fascism. This isn’t even an argument at this point. They are attacking the media openly.

FCC Chair: Trump is winning. Look at the results—PBS and NPR defunded. Joy Reid, Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta, John Dickerson are gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN will have new ownership as well.

Tremendous news for our industry — and people I've admired for so long — that The Athletic was able to staff up in D.C. Somebody asked if it changes our plans for @AllBannerSports. It does not.

We're looking to hire a Commanders reporter, a Nationals reporter and a columnist/general assignment reporter to get things started. We want people who relish the idea of working in the same market as Svrluga, Kilgore, Jhabvala, Buckner, Wallace, Nusbaum/etc.

They're incredible. People, and journalists. Want to get where they are? Compete against them. There's no better training. The Post's sports staff had such camaraderie. That was the magic of it all. We're trying to foster it, too. Interested? Reach out.

We're so excited to be adding an extraordinary talent like Andrew to our growing sports staff. Listening to him talk about stories and how he wants to approach coverage left me thinking only one thing: He's the perfect fit for the community-building journalism we love.

So people know – @spencernusbaum_ and @andrewcgolden do an amazing job on the Nationals beat for the Washington Post. They deserve better.

More on the WaPo situation: The sports section was told not to book travel arrangements for its Nationals beat writers to cover spring training, according to two sources. There are two beat writers for the Nationals.

I generally get along with Mike, so I’m really struggling with his assessment that Justin Tucker “made some mistakes” earlier in his career that are similar to mistakes other people make in their lives. It’s extremely dismissive of the 16 therapists who spoke to the Banner.

We were lucky enough to have Mitchell cover the NCAA Tournament for us twice. Each time, he wrote a story that was top 5 in a national competition. He's a star.

In 1993, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a Home Run Derby ball off the warehouse at Camden Yards, becoming the first and only player to do so. Why has no one done it since? I spoke with 3 physicists, @mike_petriello, @sigmejdal and #Orioles OF Heston Kjerstad to try to get an answer 🧵

Maryland Eastern Shore’s baseball team had lost 55 straight games. They went 0-48 last season and hadn’t won since 2023. Today, they beat Towson to snap the longest losing streak in the country.
