There is near international consensus that Israel is committing genocide. The CIJ_ICJ had recognized that it is committing the crime against humanity of apartheid. Tennis Canada do the right thing. Players are representing their states in the Davis Cup. You must not help

We cannot keep sportwashing genocide. It must stop, and Canada should not participate in this event.

👏 Sports boycotts are a legitimate, just & effective response to apartheid -- in the present (Israel's participation in the upcoming Davis Cup) and past (South Africa's participation in tennis in the 80s). Tennis Canada

David Cooper of CIJA says we’re just a “small mob of extremists.” Guess we’ll see about that.

Who Is Extreme? 1/7 Who is extreme? Those calling for an end to the chaos— or the staunch defenders Of war, Of famine, Of starvation, Of bodies buried beneath rubble, wailing women, and the cries of children?

Bravest athlete on the planet. Mohammed Ahmed shows us what it means for an athlete to live and speak with integrity and courage. May many other athletes break silence and follow the lead of this truly inspirational hero.

The post claims Canadian research organization RSC // SRC signed an agreement to deepen research ties with Israel – at a time when many Israeli universities and researchers are directly involved aiding genocide and war crimes, including the destruction of every single university

Funny how a “small mob of extremists” were able to command a reply from Tennis Canada and the ITF within eight hours. What happens if the mob grows?

Allowing Israel to compete in international sporting competitions is unconscionable. We can and should use sport to put political pressures on states enacting genocidal violence against others. If that view makes me an "extremist" so be it.

Absolute cowardice from Halifax city Council. Slipped in a vote to approve Davis Cup funding with no public discussion after hours of in camera discussion hiding from their voters. More discussion on a stadium than on genocide. Truly disgusting! Let them know!

“Israel must not play as they starve and murder Gaza.” Listen to El Jones’s scathing indictment of Tennis Canada and Halifax Regional Council. No tennis for genocide. Cancel the Canada-Israel Davis Cup match.

Amnesty International sent a letter this morning calling on FIFA and UEFA to suspend Israel from football competitions.

After positive peer reviews, 2 reads by UTP's lawyer, a few edits to appease the lawyer, and a new title, I finally have the green light on "the Don Cherry book." "Hockey Divides: White Working-Class Masculinity and a Canadian Icon" is coming to a bookstore near you in 2026.

Finally a good news media story about hockey culture and masculinity. There are plenty of them and this is great to see.
