SWAMP RABBITS ANNOUNCE 2024 KELLY CUP PLAYOFF ROSTER

23 players begin the quest to hoist Patrick Kelly's Cup in the Upstate By: Mark Binetti, Greenville Swamp Rabbits GREENVILLE, SC—The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, the proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, announced the 2024 Kelly Cup Playoff Roster with the ECHL. Earlier this evening, the roster was formally introduced to the team's fans at their official Playoff Kickoff Party at Harley-Davidson of Greenville. The following players will represent the Upstate in the quest for Patrick Kelly's Cup: FORWARDS (12) - #7 Tanner Eberle - #9 Brett Kemp (Reserve) - #16 Ethan Somoza - #17 Josh McKechney - #18 Carter Souch - #19 Colton Young - #22 Quinn Olson (Reserve) - #24 Ben Freeman – CAPTAIN - #27 Anthony Beauchamp - #39 Brannon McManus - #51 Zach Tupker - #77 Nick Prkusic DEFENSEMEN (9) - #3 Joe Leahy - #5 Tyler Inamoto - #10 Max Martin - #12 Jake Flynn - #13 JD Greenway - #21 Bobby Russell - #23 Max Coyle - #29 Logan Britt (Reserve) - #81 Sam Jardine GOALTENDERS (2) - #31 Luke Richardson - #68 Jacob Ingham PLAYOFF ELIGIBLE LIST (4) - #14 Wyatte Wylie (D, currently with AHL Ontario) - #15 Nikita Pavlychev (F, currently with AHL Ontario) - #44 Ryan Francis (F, currently with AHL Ontario) - #45 Ryan Bednard (G, currently with AHL Ontario) Playoff Rosters consist of a maximum of 24 Players – a 20-man active roster and a four-man reserve list. Upon submission of its Playoff Roster, each Member is required to include: - At least 17 active, available (i.e., not injured or on recall) skaters to its Active Roster, and at least two (2) eligible goaltenders to its initial Playoff Roster. - A list of all other Players who meet the Playoff Roster Eligibility requirements but who are unavailable at the time that Playoff Rosters are due to the League Office due to recall to the AHL or NHL. The Playoff Eligible List may only list Players who are unavailable due to recall. All other players (i.e., injured Players) must be listed on a Member's initial Playoff Roster (active roster or reserve list) to participate in the Playoffs. Throughout the Playoffs, but before the start of the Kelly Cup Finals, as the recalled Players listed on a Member's Playoff Eligible List become available (due to assignment, release from PTO, or their respective AHL teams' seasons having ended), Members shall be permitted to supplement their initial Playoff Rosters with Players listed on their Playoff Eligible Lists, up to a maximum of 24 Players total. Once a Member has named a total of 24 Players to its Playoff Roster, or the Kelly Cup Finals have begun (whichever comes first), the Member's Playoff Roster shall be fixed for the duration of the Playoffs (barring emergency conditions). A Player who has finished the Regular Season on Injured Reserve may still be named to a Member's 24-man Playoff Roster and will be eligible to participate in the Playoffs once his full IR time has been completed (provided all other playoff eligibility requirements have been satisfied). Once a Player has completed his remaining IR time, he will be activated and placed on the Member's Active Roster. Emergency conditions shall be established when the Member's playing strength is reduced below two (2) goalkeepers and sixteen (16) skaters because of injury, illness, recall, or suspension by the League. However, should a Member release a Player(s) from its Playoff Roster, its emergency conditions will drop by the same number as the Players they release. Only amateur Players may be signed and added to the Active Roster under emergency conditions. The Swamp Rabbits, 2024 South Division Champions, now look forward to the beginning of the 2024 Kelly Cup Playoffs, taking on the Orlando Solar Bears in the South Division Semifinals. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is Sunday, April 21st, slated for a 3:05 p.m. EST puck drop at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Travis Kelce "Tru Kolors" Partners with Chiefs for Exclusive Collection

Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, owner of brand Tru Kolor's, and client of A+A Sports Management, has partnered with the Chiefs to develop an exclusive collection. And as of January 12th, the collection dropped in perfect timing for avid football fans to take advantage. Travis Kelce Who is Travis Kelce? Kelce is a tight end drafted to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. Moreover, he's a standout athlete whose high-caliber performance on the field has solidified his worth in the industry. According to the Chief's official website says,  "Kelce Became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach the 500-reception plateau, doing so in 95 career games played."  And that's a mere fragment of the records he's broken. Additionally, his impressive skill level has led to numerous Pro Bowl nominations. And he was instrumental in the Chief's Superbowl win in 2020. Respectfully all of these achievements together this has earned him the distinction of perhaps one of the most extraordinary tight ends to play the game. Travis And Fashion Football is not the only thing Kelce knows. Kelce also contributes his talents to the fashion world with a signature brand, Tru Kolors. With the help of A +A, Kelce was able to bring the sports brand to the world. And through his brand, Kelce has shown another side of himself, a unique, highly expressive, and creative individual. It is with an aesthetic "expressive with pop colors and bold features" that he has sought to connect people. In Kelce's words, "I think colors are a unique way to connect people and an amazing way to express yourself. We're all in this together..." And that is part of what sets the brand apart. Tru Kolors Limited Capsule Collection The recent Tru Kolors release is being hailed as the first-ever player/local club merch collaboration. And it is said to be an inspired piece with Chief fans as the muse. This unique collection is definitively bold with a nostalgic flair. But, most of all, it's a gift of appreciation and deep admiration for the "Tru-Chief Fans." As Kelce expresses, "I love fashion, football, and the unwavering energy of the Chiefs Kingdom, so having the opportunity to design a capsule for the playoff season is a major moment." For fans of the Chiefs, of football, or expressive fashion, check out the unique but limited Tru Kolors collection here. Or visit nflshop.com.

So a couple of things I learnt from listening to the A Reckoning at Bon Appetit podcast episode by Sporkful where they interviewed both Nikita Richardson and Sohla El-Waylly:

- Sohla repeatedly kept asking to get paid for her videos in literally every single zoom meeting every week with Matt Druckor and he strung her along for months saying that she’d get it the next day. So, all that myths about how people of colour and women get paid less because we don’t ask for more can fly right out the window, because Sohla asked repeatedly and they never paid her.

- Sohla says Matt Druckor is the reason why Priya was always pigeonholed into making only Indian dishes. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining and hating on Priya for that in the tags, so I really hope those people are thinking twice now, because it’s not her fault.

- Amanda Shapiro literally stole an article from Nikita Richardson and got paid for Nikita’s work (so, a Black woman’s months and months or work) and not only has she not addressed this or any other part of the controversy on her twitter (twitter.com/aswordmaven), but she has now been promoted to Interim EIC of Bon Appetit despite this! Also Nikita was never actually compensated for this work, they just told her they owed her.

- this is so messed up

[sohlaelwaylly]

Summarizing some new points from the Sporkful 'Reckoning at Bon Appetit' podcast episode ft reporter Rachel Premack, former staffer Nikita Richardson, and current BA assistant editor Sohla El-Waylly

- Sohla had already heard about the race issues at BA but questioned them because of the YouTube videos and gaby's journey from a dish washer to test kitchen manager (+ the fact that she was also featured in videos and got opportunities). She sees now that was BS

- BA treats poc as sidekicks to pull in to appear diverse

- Sohla would try to have a meeting with producers once a month to push diverse food but would get turned down

- Multiple staffers say that one of the biggest obstacles of getting prominent poc and diverse food featured was Matt Duckor, Condé Nast's head of video, who earned a bonus based on the performance of BA videos (so "the more clicks, the more he stood to gain")

- "[Duckor] was the problem to be honest, he was a much bigger problem than Adam."

- Duckor only wanted Priya to cook indian food

- Given that she had to make videos at home, Sohla was also the one who had to set everything up (lighting, sound, videos, etc) and every week she brought up payment for her work but Duckor would lie straight to her face and refuse for MONTHS

- BA promised to hire a full time black person to be in their videos SIX MONTHS AGO but never followed through

- When Rapo held the zoom meeting to "apologize" for the brown face (through only a couple of sentences), Sohla literally told him she wanted him to resign, AND THEN other people started to speak up and agree

-The contract Duckor offered Sohla AN HOUR after she posted publicly on Instagram about the pay inequality (which Duckor had been pushing back for MONTHS) included backpay but she refused to sign it until everyone who shoots videos for the test kitchen is compensated.

- Molly sent Sohla a really heartfelt email acknowledging her complacency but Brad seems to have JUST FOUND OUT racism is real

- There's a small group (of 7 people) who are working to rebuild and address these issues. They also made sure that of the few poc who are on that team, they are always present ("in that room")

- The original statement from BA was much stronger and concrete but they had to negotiate with corporate, HR and PR.

- Internally they are holding themselves to the original statement but for legal reasons it didn't go through. THEY WERE UP UNTIL 11PM fighting over words

- Demands: increase pay for poc on staff ie. everyone on the team makes living wage

- Sohla's experienced one of the highest highs of her life when Adam resigned, Duckor resigned and the business insider article came out. She believes things may finally start to change

- Sohla has a new video series concept she hopes to host for Bon Appetit once she starts getting paid for her work (!!!!!!!!!)

BA’s Reckoning

Yes, I stole this title from the Sporkful podcast. You should check it out!

So just a reminder the whole thing that kicked this off was when Tammie Teclemariam tweeted the photo of Rapoport in brown face (yes its brown face its a purposeful caricature of Puerto Rican ppl, his girlfriend called him her papi in the caption as well) saying he should simply write the article on Puerto Rican food then (the issue was Illyanna Maisonet, a Puerto Rican food writer, got rejected rudely by Rapo for her pitch to write about Puerto Rican food) Which brings up the larger issue of BA being racist and not covering any other dishes besides Eurocentric ones, and the ones that aren't Eurocentric are almost always either whitewashed or done by white people which is what happened with Masionet’s article (this is where Amanda Shapiro and Meryl Rothstein come in).

This led to a zoom meeting where Rapo made a shitty apology leading Sohla El-Waylly’s instagram posts, where she condemns Rapo, talks about her 50k salary despite having 15 years of restaurant experience (She ran a fucking restaurant and 50k in NYC is pathetic), being hired to help white editors, and not being paid for ANY of her video appearances (none of the poc you see in videos have been compensated including the zoom videos). Which has led to many people at BA being exposed for being terrible (Conde Nast is the parent company and owns BA, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Allure, Glamour, Wired, Epicurious,Teen Vogue among other things... also take note how most of these have consistently been criticized for their racism or “race problems”)

ANYWAY here’s a general guide of what each BA person has done, this is in no way comprehensive, feel free to investigate on your own, always fact check and form your own opinions!

Adam Rapoport: Brown face, not paying his non-white employees for their video appearances, treating his assistant Ryan Walker-Hartshorn (a black woman) like shit (she was working overtime and was barely making rent with what he was paying her), he's sexist (see every video with Molly) and racist (mixing up Sohla and Priya Krishna and never apologizing) and more!

Check out the Business Insider piece, twitter (Tammie’s, Christina Chaey’s, and Priya’s), Sohla’s podcast and interviews, and someone made a compilation of Rapo being condescending I think

Matt Duckor: Disgusting, racist, homophobic, sexist all around terrible person, probably the most obviously terrible of the bunch (see Rick Martinez’s insta plus Duckor’s own tweets), strung along Sohla for months saying that her pay was “stuck in legal” so that she would keep appearing in videos, gave Sohla a contract when this stuff first started happening to try and shut her up, HE is the one deciding pay for everyone at BA and was the one not paying poc for video appearances.

Check out Rick’s Insta, Twitter for Duckor’s tweets (screenshots bc he deleted his account)

Carla Lalli Music: First off, ppl are pointing out she was condescending af to a lot of her guests on her show (except for the white ones). The racism at BA did not start nor stop with Adam Rapoport and guess who was editor in chief before him? Yup, Mrs. Carla Lalli Music! Necessary amendment: Carla was the food director NOT the editor in chief and she is currently an editor at large... still a powerful position though and I think the sentiment still stands. She had a pretty pathetic twitter thread about how she should’ve done more but was focused on the sexism/focusing on women, strange because she also sent that shitty email to two women along with Delany and Brad after the two of them, Delany, and Brad were talking in the kitchen, telling them not to enter the kitchen without permission (not enforced on Brad or Delany obviously, only the two women who happen to not be white) I misread the article, Brad was a part of the convo, he did NOT receive the email, and didn't respond to the articles request for comment.. he fucking works in the test kitchen, i’m an idiot and that's on me

Business insider and her twitter 

Alex Delany: I have a post with the screenshots of the confederate flag cake he made himself because he felt the “need to express some southern heritage in cake form. Such a glorious cake...” for his friend moving to South Carolina, the lovely vine with the classic “F*g is a bundle of sticks joke” also have a post discussing that, he’s wildly underqualified for DRINKS editor and overpaid, also his girlfriend is Allegra Lorenzotti whose mother Eva Lorenzotti, is in Jeffery Epstein’s black book which is concerning (though who knows maybe Delany is dating a different wealthy Allegralo), also those sexist tweets

I have screenshots from Tumblr, ppl have the vine on twitter along with the sexist tweets (he deleted his twitter and Tumblr btw)

Andy Baraghani: There are screenshots of Alyse Whitney’s (an asian woman) twitter thread saying Andy purposefully undercut her articles multiple times because of a petty feud with Antoni from Queer Eye by using his friendship with Amanda Shapiro (Whitney’s editor) to kill the story, which is shitty and brings up the bigger picture of BA being cliquey and getting in with a friend of a friend and such which is just a toxic work environment

Amanda Shapiro: Puerto Rican food article, Alyse Whitney’s articles, she’s a perpetuator of the toxic work environment, stealing Nikita Richardson’s work and getting credit and pay for it (pls check out her twitter and the articles with her), also racist, should not be in charge

Chris Morocco: Made one (1) basic post (simply a reply to Molly calling him out actually) at the beginning of all this agreeing to not be in anymore videos until his coworkers got paid/backpay, he said he was complicit (duh) but also that he had no idea this was happening, but guess what? He is the one that hired Sohla for only 50k! There is a whole can of worms about how little Sohla was hired for despite her experience plus talent along with her current pay and Chris is a part of that. Also both his gumbo video and Halo Halo recipe are downright disrespectful at BEST and they should not have had a white man doing them (again with the white people doing articles/videos that can be EASILY given to someone whose actually part of that culture) and before anyone says anything yes the gumbo was for Chris’s show (strange how only white ppl get shows or in Andy’s case unless you’re friends with a higher up) still doesn't make the video less disrespectful, also he’s SAID he is friends with Anna Wintour (head of vogue, and a racist “there’s no room for black women” the reason the vogue challenge is happening)

Brad Leone: Himbo status permanently revoked, “Brad who just found out racism is real”(Sohla said this in the Sporkful podcast) is NOT acceptable for a 35 year old white man whose coworkers are suffering in a clearly toxic work environment, the screenshot with “I didn’t sign her contract she did” is NOT how you respond to your coworker being underpaid and disrespected by the company she works at because she is not a white man. I do not like him anymore, he has made apologies but ignorance to this extent is willful and I don't completely buy it the rumors he was upset Delany was going to be fired/would quit if Delany was fired/was mad at Sohla is not something I was able to confirm but based off of what I’ve seen he really needs to prove himself to be better, he can stay if that’s what his coworkers want but he is on thin fucking ice

Stuff I can't accredit to a single person, but BA is racist: 

NIKITA RICHARDSON, pls check her out on twitter

They sent Sohla to interview black chefs (bc BA has a bad track record) because she was the darkest and there were literally NO black chefs working at BA

Making Priya only cook Indian dishes (which were kinda whitewashed) I actually think this may have been Duckor

Tokenizing the poc staff (they would make them be in the kitchen when filming the white hosts shows and push them in front of the camera to highlight nonexistent diversity)

Paying Hawa Hassan only $400 for her video (probs also Duckor)

[ireallydontcare5]

I'm listening to The Sporkful podcast and it really pissed me off how they did Nikita. She was in the middle of a piece when they not only laid her off but later on convinced her to give them the contact info of the person she was doing the piece on and then had a white writer do the article. When Nikita called them to let them know, "hey that was my piece", all they said was "we owe you one". That burns.

Founded in 2017, “Made by History,” originally aimed  to “shine a light on why so many Americans feel so aggrieved” in the era of President Trump and invite scholars to contribute articles, applying a historical perspective to modern times. 

Of the nine universities listed as sponsors, three confirmed to Campus Reform that they provide monetary support. Virginia Tech reported spending $10,000 a year, the University of North Carolina Press "a few thousand dollars spread out over the last few years," and Chapman University "some financial support in return for advertising."

The “Made by History” about page promises that contributing scholars “won’t distort or weaponize history” to advance an agenda, as so often happens at the “hands of politicians and commentators.” Yet many contributing authors are activists who push Critical Race Theory, queer theory, and other leftist ideas in their scholarship.

Nikita Shepard, who wrote the article “Anti-trans legislation has never been about protecting children,” studies and teaches “histories of LGBTQ communities, gender and sexuality, race and social movements in the United States” at Columbia University.

Shepard argues that rhetoric about protecting children from life-altering surgeries and hormone blocker drugs lies “in efforts to defend white supremacy.”

“Tracing the ugly history of conservative efforts to combat school desegregation, welfare, reproductive freedom and gay and lesbian rights by claiming threats to children helps us understand why politicians today think they can gain votes by brutalizing vulnerable children in the name of protecting them,” Shepard writes.

Similarly, Marie-Amélie George, a professor at Wake Forest Law, penned an article against religious liberty.

After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Catholic organization over the city of Philadelphia, because they were excluded from the city's foster-care program, the "Made by History" series tweeted that "This ruling may harm the very children that the state is charged with protecting."
