Kushner Regrets FIFA Deal; Trump Lawsuit Over Trans Athletes Tossed

Jared Kushner's brother, Joshua Kushner, has expressed regret over his firm's involvement in FIFA President Gianni Infantino's controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. Joshua Kushner stated that his investment group failed to fully grasp the political complexities of global football and would not have participated had they anticipated the strong reactions from the football community. This comes as a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration that sought to prevent California from allowing transgender youth athletes to compete in school sports according to their gender identity.

The lawsuit, which the Department of Justice had pursued for a year, aimed to force California to ban transgender girls from women's sports. The dismissal represents a significant setback for the former administration's stance on LGBTQ+ rights in sports. Meanwhile, the ongoing discussion around sports and politics continues, with a commentary piece reflecting on the 10-year anniversary of Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protests and their lasting impact on the discourse surrounding athletes' activism.
