Long-time fan of @edgeofsports.bsky.social and this kind of story is why: He looks deeply into the larger social and cultural phenomena of sports and the way they affect all of us.

That’s a single Dem staffer who can be hired away by like Andy Beshear for $400,000. I understand it why people like that and I agree but that’s not who he is. In real life he’s a guy whose lipstick prints on the ass of Ben Shapiro are visible from space.
