Natasha Cloud asks for the Capitals and the Nationals to step up and use their platform.
"It's time that our white counterparts also step up. It's not just us Black athletes that need to step up and use our voice."
Serena Williams has won 23 major titles (2nd most all-time) and played in 32 title matches, and Venus Williams is still here taking pictures on a digital camera.
The Williams sisters are something else

Rui Machida and her 'new translator' Myisha Hines-Allen handing out Japanese snacks to the media after practice.
Myisha told me that Rui wants me to know "Myisha is her favorite teammate"
There has been 1,420 best-of-seven series in MLB, the NBA and NHL.
Only once has the road team won the first six games: the 2019 World Series

Rui Machida came to the Mystics this season despite not speaking any English.
Her teammates have embraced that challenge and are finding ways to connect with their Japanese teammate.
Mike Thibault says that Elena Delle Donne has taken a step forward in her recovery and progressed to live work at practice with the Mystics.
She's now doing some of the contact drills and live-action.
I should clarify that in no way do I think Juwan Howard should be absolved here. This is not the first time he’s been involved in altercations.
But the “this is a bad look for Michigan and the sport” crowd should have been shouting from the rooftops when Few got the DUI.
George Mason earns their first win over a ranked opponent since beating
#18
Kansas State on 11/22/2007.
The Patriots were 0-11 against ranked opponents in that span, with three coaching changes.
That Rui Machida ➡️ Elizabeth Williams connection still finds itself in practice.
Kennedy Burke said when playing with Rui, "the most important thing is is to always have your eyes up because she's going to be looking."
There weren't many signs that VCU was going to be looking for a coach this offseason but they were ready at the drop of a hat to make an offer for the best option in the market.
VCU's athletic department operates as arguably the best mid-major in the country.
VCU will be hiring Utah State coach Ryan Odom, sources told CBS Sports. A deal is not yet done, but the transition is not expected to take long. VCU athletic director Ed McLaughlin has a longstanding relationship with Odom and, per sources, made overtures earlier this week.
Life update: Starting Monday I will be working full-time at

with the digital team.
Super excited to be continuing my work in bigger role with an outstanding group of people.
A monster win for George Mason at Dayton, one of the hardest places to win at in the A10. The Flyers are 78-19 at home since the 2010-11 season. At 12-8 (6-1), George Mason is not only a threat for a double bye, but the A10 regular season title.
Stephen Strasburg's night has been ridiculous for the Nats.

Oh, and he just passed Jacob de Grom for the most strikeouts in the NL.
Rui Machida says she has so many things she'll remember from this Mystics season but she'll remember the "hype" her teammates and the arena had when she would make a shot.
JUST IN: There is a new seat for the George Mason all-time blocks leader. A.J. Wilson tied George Evans' record-setting mark of 211 blocks today against George Washington with two blocks.
Wilson got his mark in 113 games, Evans set his in 116.

George Mason is a completely different basketball team with Josh Oduro healthy.
Tonight he dropped 31 pts, but the inside-outside game he sets up for the Patriots is enormous. His vision is incredible for a big man.
George Mason shocks St. Bonaventure in Fairfax. Shooting 46% from deep and 15 made threes kept the Bonnies at bay. Don't look now but the Patriots are now in second place in the A-10.
Can confirm

's report that this will be the new George Mason University logo that will be replacing the shooting star-featured logo that has been used by the athletic department for years.
In the past two coaching cycles, the Atlantic 10 has really upgraded their coaches. A lot of promising years ahead for some key programs:
Archie Miller, URI
Frank Martin, UMass
Chris Caputo, GW
Kim English, Mason
Kyle Neptune, Fordham
Mike Thibault says the Mystics were not in a position to use their 'core' designation for Emma Meesseman.
Said the team wanted a "reliable future" going forward, which Myisha Hines-Allen represents.
Announced paid attendance for a Wednesday 11:30 am preseason game between the Mystics and Lynx:

For the first time in program history, the George Mason men's basketball team has knocked off a ranked opponent at home.
Patriots down
#16
Dayton 71-67.
George Mason shows some fight at No. 6 Kansas (minus Remy Martin) and falls 76-67.
Lots to like of the effort and mentality from the Patriots, they did not come in scared of the challenge. Also, Ticket Gaines (15 pts, 12 rebs) is quickly becoming a fan favorite in Fairfax.
Mike Thibault says he took photos of the TV when Ariel Atkins and Tina Charles were getting their gold medals at the medal stand.
Wanted to add the photos to his collection.
There's going be an exciting guest joining the broadcast booth with us this evening for 's coverage of

Hint: he's an Ivy League graduate, an AUDL investor and hosted a popular science TV show in the 1990s.
I expect the messaging from the university to be that it will grow on you after time.
I first saw the logo a few months ago when and I feel the same way I do know: it stinks. A logo adaptation felt necessary from the current identity, but I think this is the wrong direction.
Big win for the Wizards over the Utah Jazz 121-112. Washington has their best 3-point shooting night of the season as Porzingis and Kuzma combine for 52 points.
Mike Thibault calls the Mystics' injury situation "the worst in 50 years of coaching. This has been the worst I've ever been through. It's frustrating and it's hard for everyone, not just me."
George Mason locks up their first EVER victory at George Washington 81-65. Freshman Jordan Miller with a career-high 17 points and three other players with 13+ points.
Nice rebound for them heading into the A-10 Tournament. Patriots finish 17-14 (11-7).
Yesterday
@MasonWBB
ended their 2017-18 season with a loss in the WNIT Second Round. Here is what they accomplished:
-1st postseason win
-Program record in wins (24)
-3rd postseason appearance ever
-Most conference wins (11)
-Longest home winning streak (13 games)

Kim English to Providence, Tony Skinn to George Mason, Dave Paulsen to Holy Cross and now Duane Simpkins to American
A lot of Mason connections getting jobs this hiring cycle.
We are living at a time with Alex Ovechkin, Serena Williams*, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Lewis Hamilton and Dianna Taurasi dominating their respective sports for a whole decade.
I don't think everyone realizes how rare the past several years have been.
With that last assist Otis Livingston II becomes the first Patriot to record 100 assists in all four of his seasons while at

Natalie Butler has been selected 30th overall in the 2018 WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings. It is my understanding that she will be the 3rd
@MasonWBB
player to ever play in the WNBA.
BREAKING: George Mason is naming Nena Rogers as interim Athletic Director, according to a source.
She is replacing Brad Edwards who will be leaving his position on Oct. 12.
Natasha Cloud: "Any other team in the W, if they lost three starters, what would they be? They wouldn't be in the playoffs, so (this season) says a lot about our team."
FINAL: Mason 81, VCU 80
Ian Boyd hits his 3rd straight game winning basket, Goanar Mar with a career-high (26 pts), and Mason is in 4th in the Atlantic 10.
Wow.
Anthony Cowan Jr. has a new podcast coming out that will be with other CBB players. He has some pretty cool guests lined up including Cassius Winston, Myles Powell, Luka Garza, Markus Howard and Xavier Simpson.
Mike Thibault says Rui Machida's future in the WNBA will be dependent on how aggressive she can be on offense.
All season the Mystics made a push to gain her confidence as a shooter.
George Mason gets their 5th-ever win over a Big Ten opponent by beating Nebraska at the Cayman Islands Classic.
Yep, this is for real. They're 7-1 with a DOMINATING 85-66 win over a Power 5 opponent.
Huge night for George Mason to down their rival VCU and crush their at-large hopes, but for fans this has to be incredibly frustrating development. How is this team 3-8 in the A-10?
Rui Machida posted a career-high 9 assists last night in the Mystics loss to the Sky in 21 minutes.
It was the most action she's seen since May 13 and the most she's seen when coming off the bench.
No. 5 George Mason survives 61-57 over No. 12 GW
Justin Kier with his best overall performance in the Green and Gold. He recorded 26 pts (10-14), 8 rebs, 5 asts.
Guys are going to be tired tomorrow, but the 3rd straight A-10 QF for George Mason.
Now that the George Mason job is officially open, here are some names I am keeping an eye on:
Tony Skinn
Kimani Young
Christian Webster
Mike Jones (UNC-G)
Jason Williford
Amir Abdur-Rahim
... and a darkhorse candidate:
Eric Konkol
