Two days after DiJonai Carrington was ejected for blasting Sophie Cunningham in the face and then posting “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on social media, she checks into the Sky's next game. No discipline from the WNBA. No public explanation. Nothing but silence.

Skyline High School, which has a trans-identifying male on its girls volleyball team, is currently playing for a spot in the Michigan state tournament. The principal of Skyline is following me everywhere I go inside the gym.

Victor Wembanyama once again crosses his arms during the US National Anthem ahead of Game 5.

3 Colorado State volleyball players took a knee during the National Anthem, including Malaya Jones, the player accused of conspiring with SJSU transgender Blaire Fleming to injure SJSU co-captain Brooke Slusser.

It’s over. Colorado State defeats San Jose State to win the Mountain West and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA is breathing a huge sigh of relief as transgender Blaire Fleming’s college career comes to an end without an NCAA Tournament berth.

Boise State defeats Utah State in four sets and they must now decide whether to play against San Jose State and transgender Blaire Fleming in the semifinal on Friday, or forfeit and end their season and hopes of reaching the NCAA Tournament.

I asked Rick Pitino, who coached in the NBA near the height of the league's popularity, why college basketball's popularity is at an all-time high while interest in the NBA is declining. "The resurgence of St. John's."

The CEO of Jimmy’s Famous Seafood, John Minadakis, told OutKick that he was the author of the of mega-viral tweet reply to HuffPo's ridiculous post criticizing people who were celebrating Team USA's gold medal win. And you'll never guess where he was when he sent it.

Ann Arbor Skyline, with a trans-identifying male, just punched its ticket to the “Elite 8” in the Michigan Division I high school state volleyball tournament, the highest level in the state.

Steelers players did a mock CPR celebration after their sack of Deshaun Watson.

I asked President Trump about Stephen A Smith potentially running for president. “You have to have a high IQ to run for president. I don’t think he has that.”

ESPN broadcast "encourages" viewers to go listen to Cheryl Reeve's "incredibly thoughtful" comments about how biological males should be allowed in girl's sports and locker rooms and how children should have their bodies mutilated to support "gender ideology."

I asked South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley if she supports transgender women (biological males) playing women's college basketball. "If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play."

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

I asked President Trump about MLB owners pushing for a salary cap. Trump: “If you don’t have a salary cap, you don’t have a sport.” “They had a chance to implement one a long time ago but they blew it.”

Iowa players holding hands during the American National Anthem. LSU players left the court before the anthem was performed.

Kim Mulkey said her team didn't intentionally leave the floor prior to the playing of the United States National Anthem. "Honestly, I don't even know when the anthem was played. We kind of have a routine [for leaving the court at a certain time]."

After the game, I asked Brittney Griner if it was possible that she said "f***ing white girl" after fouling out against the Indiana Fever, even though she couldn't remember what she said. "I know it wasn't that because I wouldn't use that type of language," she said.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents &amp; friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents &amp; better friends."

Fever head coach Stephanie White refused to address the letter sent by several members of Congress to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert about the treatment of Caitlin Clark by other players and whether it's racially motivated. "We're not affiliated with any of those groups."

Caitlin Clark once again condemns "racist rhetoric" on social media. She also says she can’t remember the last time she read a DM and enjoyed getting booed at Golden State. “I just try to block out the noise the best I can.” Other WNBA players should take her advice.

Dan Hurley told me the first thing he did after he got off the court was to go into a bathroom stall and pray. “The first person I need to talk to was God.”

Caitlin Clark was asked about the controversy surrounding biological males in women’s sports. She said leagues and governing bodies should find solutions, added that it isn’t discussed in the Fever locker room and declined to offer her personal view.

CSU coach Emily Kohan says three of her black players have knelt for the national anthem for five years, since the "Black Lives Matter" movement started, and Kohan fully supports them. "They've stood their ground for saying that this is something that they believe in."

I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft. Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."

Playing for Team USA is the only thing that can get Justin Thomas to set aside his Alabama allegiance for Auburn star Jackson Koivun. Once the Presidents Cup is over, it’s back to business. “I love him to death, but I hope he has a terrible Saturday after Thanksgiving.”

One of the coolest moments I’ve ever witnessed. The ENTIRE arena sang the US National Anthem in unison. The ending is impossible to describe…

We keep hearing about social media threats to Black WNBA players. But as @DanDakich and I discussed, Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Paige Bueckers had actual stalkers who were arrested. Three White players facing documented danger. That should be the much bigger story.

I asked Kim Mulkey if she and her LSU Tigers planned to celebrate Easter Sunday as a team. "You'd better believe that we will do that. Thank you for asking that," she responded. She said she asks all the players to pray, regardless of their religious affiliation or God.

I asked Dan Hurley about how his Catholic faith shapes him as a coach. "My faith, in tough times, gives me the strength to endure the difficulties, the challenges that life presents... it gives me a humility to not celebrate these great successes and to live with humility."

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
