"When you put #money, attention, and #intention to creating a more equitable environment, people will shine... #InvestinWomen. We are beyond capable of achieving at the same level as men, but we can't do it without equitable access to the resources we need to perform and do our jobs well." Sarah Brock post: https://lnkd.in/e7e_X4-V "Bravo Doris Burke! In a time where we are witnessing and celebrating tremendous #growth in women’s #sports, it was great to see an absolute legend get the accolades that she is due. Doris has kicked down doors throughout her #career and has never lost her humble demeanor and thoughtful approach to calling a game.., I will never forget Doris' willingness to share her #insights and take the time to be real, to be authentic in a #business that undoubtedly hasn’t always give her that same grace. So, as I channel my inner Lizzo, there is only one thing to say, it’s 'About Damn Time!'" Ramsey Baker repost of this post: https://lnkd.in/eim37xvW “Anyone who is authentically working in women’s sports genuinely understands that #representation matters, both ethically and economically." Anthony Baldini repost: https://lnkd.in/eKriaqKj "Being clear on where you stand regardless of setting is key. To truly align with targeted and oppressed communities is to be in the fire with them." Ifeoma Ike, Esq. repost: https://lnkd.in/eCNSzYGK Let's support ALL women and girls as they step onto the courts, fields, mats, stages and sets of work and life! #Talent is an asset class. We must #InvestDifferent and when we do we all win!

MLB needs better Umpires. NBA needs better Refs! And they both need more of them? NFL needs help too. Ever wonder why we hear NOTHING about how you become a Ref or Umpire in the Pros? It's a business and it's a "Good ol Boys" mentality where they protect one another and clear you out of the way if you break ranks! I had a buddy who made it to the NBA Ref level. Supposedly, the best of the best, right?! He lasted a few years. It's political as hell! His skills were important. But his loyalty kept him his job. They see and they know their mistakes! Why don't we FANS know the following: What's their experience? Where'd they get that experience? Who are they? How are they measured skill-set wise? How many errors do THEY make? Fans pay their salary ultimately! Fans deserve the best but seldom get it! How many times do you watch a game and yell, "GOOD CALL!?" Yeah, right...not many. Some, but few, are Great. Who is the Mendy Rudolph of the NBA today? Who is the Jim Joyce of Baseball today? Not even a part of people's conversations! But it sure as hell used to be!!

How many more examples do we need to understand that corporate lobbyists control Congress for profit only. The lack of knowledge in these facts is getting stupid.

Me last week, "Scottie Scheffler is really good at golf." Nelly Korda, "Hold my beer." 21,000+ fans show up at the Bell Centre to set the attendance record for women's hockey. Caitlin Clark's Fever jersey outsells entire Cowboys' roster (yay!). Fanatics says new stock won't arrive for a few months (boo!). Women continue to rock the #sportsbiz. But, I digress. We're here for the weekly Nice Guy/Gal awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/edbkuGKU  #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing
