Bruce Pearl resigned from Auburn basketball to run for senate in Alabama.

Here's how he explains October 7, which he calls "one of the world's biggest holocausts" (note that he literally has *nothing* to say about Israel's genocidal violence against Gaza).

www.yahoo.com/news/videos/...

"Palestinian terrorists were protesting over the fact that they don't have their own state. Well, there are 22 Arab states right there in the Middle East. Most of these Palestinians and Gazans are either Jordanian or Egyptian or whatever, but because they're not allowed to have their own state in the state of Israel, they're going to go ahead and commit these atrocities and they've been doing it since 1984. This was the worst."

Students just discussed first half of The End of College Football by @nkalamb.bsky.social and @derekcrim.bsky.social and they're like... "can it be this grim?" while also saying, "yeah, some of this happens to us too" or "I was told that [FB team] basically makes it possible for me to be here"

Leyla provides further confirmation.

More on this story: European sources CONFIRM several football associations are pushing for the vote to take place next week.

If it passes, Israel would most likely be KICKED OUT of all international football competitions.

Next week could change history.

It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.

I have heard this independently confirmed from another source.

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week.

I feel so awful for everyone on this site.

I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life.

But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves.

I’m so worried.

CNN Business piece reads:

“For example, Canadian independent journalist Rachel Gilmore posted that she is "terrified" about retaliation from Kirk's "far-right fans" after the shooting.
That post is the first listed on the anonymous website, including a part where Gilmore said she hoped Kirk survives. She said in a video online that she did not celebrate Kirk's death and said she hoped he survives in another post. She also said she received a
"tsunami" of threats and called the last 48 hours of her life "a living hell."”

This is nothing more than a smear. The National Post and CIJA are collaborating to sportwash a genocidal state and they are defaming anti-violence protesters to do it.

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this.

I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder.

I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post.

These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose.

This is really bad.

It’s incredible to see praxis in action, but more work is to be done.

CBC is sportswashing genocide by broadcasting this.

Tennis Canada is sportswashing genocide by hosting it.

CANCEL THE MATCH.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · Sep 9

The Davis Cup tie between Canada and Israel is now going to take place behind closed doors per Mossad request.

However, thanks to the collaborationism of the CBC, it will still be available to view.

The CBC is just as culpable as Tennis Canada for this sportswashing depravity.

Genocide deniers seem to have no shame (and are incredibly sloppy).

This is defamatory, which is likely the least of the issues for organizers.
