We polled a bipartisan sample of 1,417 U.S. adults, with @YouGov, about all sorts of sports/politics questions. Here's just one of the things we found out:
NEW: The NCAA tells us ZERO trans student-athletes are now competing in women's sports. Why does 15% of America think there are tens of THOUSANDS? "Politics are winning on the back of fiction."

I will share my thoughts from a coach. Everything makes sense when the film is paused. We have very little control after the playcall. So the SOB call here might be "Elbow" but after that you don't tell a player where to be every single second of the play - they make plays themselves. Film afterwards instructs future situations, but even then you can show your film 50 hours of film and never replicate this exact situations, each individual possession is different. Should Bam 45 cut here? Maybe. Should Wiggins stay deep corner opposite? Probably. Should Larson continue opposite corner and then Bam can cut into space? Sure. Should Giannis read the low tag and spray? Ya. But all of this is happening so quickly, by the time they realize it the turnover already happened. New team, new spacing, new roles all make offenses look like this. There are 20+ ideas you could come up with on offense to create weakside action or counters, but reality is it's messy, especially adding new players in the early season. You teach film and clean it up but the players ultimately make those decisions.
Genuinely wtf is this 😭 This has to be instructed right?

Would hate to see it but gotta maximize the window you have right now. I can’t take another postseason of watching the Sixers get torched on the boards and 2nd chance points

Sixers played like booty cheeks tonight and I absolutely hate all the missed free throws but I am impressed with Detroit defensively. They play really great individual defense

They're doing it again. Dean Wade and LeBron James get to the basket and Philly is now on an 18-2 run to cut the deficit to 58-53. The Pistons led this game by 21 late in the 2nd Q, but Philly is on the run again. Timeout, JB Bickerstaff. #Sixers

Just can’t get over the buy-in already… Look at this freaking ball movement, man. Few things more enjoyable than watching an unselfish team where the ball is just popping, swinging from one side of the court to the other. Also, what a behind the back dime from Embiid. Sheesh.

Tyrese is correct. Thats why it’s best for pro athletes to keep a low profile on how they move. LeBron has done that for years. To many athletes want to be all over social media then complain about what comes with that.
Tyrese Maxey says making friends is hard when everyone can look up his salary but he doesn’t know who to trust “It is hard. I wouldn’t even just say to date. It’s hard to get friends and build relationships with people because of who you are. And, like you said, the internet is a crazy place now.” “People can hide behind that screen and say whatever they want to say, and put whatever face they want to put on, and whatever body, whatever, you know. And they can change themselves.” “And you can’t. Basically, everyone knows everything. Everybody knows who you are. Everybody can Google you, look up your salary, look up how much you make, look up where you live.” “It’s a scary time, man. So you just gotta be careful. I try to be as careful as I can.”
