Shakespeare famously said, “nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

The principle was demonstrated in a much less cryptic way over the weekend by University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball Coach, Dawn Staley. 

The queen… oops, I mean Coach… guided her team to a primetime top 10 win at LSU.

And, as you can imagine, the opposing crowd was less than hospitable. It’s why we love sports and also I would crumble if someone yelled at me?

When asked about it in the post-game press conference, she gave an answer that deserves a spot in The Louvre. Or at least a spot on a Post-It note on my computer. 

Reporter: “The crowd wasn’t very friendly to you.”

Dawn Staley: “Actually they were. They were calling me boo.”

^{Take my word for it or watch the interaction here.}

May we all find it in us to not take everything so personally. 

To let a thing or 20 roll off our backs. 

To… dare I say… be able to laugh about it?

I was already cutting out Dawn’s picture for my vision board when I saw that she wore a ‘BOO’ sweatshirt to their game yesterday.

Dawn knows that if no one is boo-ing you… you aren’t even in the game.

(And why is it always the spectators that have something to say? But that’s a conversation for another day. 😮‍💨)

Proud to be playing. And you should be too.

Love ya, boo.

OPPORTUNIST OF THE WEEK

If you’re new here and wondering why we’re recognizing a literal robber, catch up in 2 minutes here.

AMERICAN AIRLINES

Did you hear? Karma is the guy on the SUPER BOWL BOUND Chiefs.

Made official last night around 6:30pm, American Airlines wasted absolutely no time in taking advantage of the Taylor Swift Effect when they created a new flight from Kansas City to Super Bowl host city, Las Vegas…

The outgoing flight number? AA 1989. Taylor’s iconic album and well-known birth year.

The return flight from Vegas to Kansas City? AA 87. Travis Kelce’s jersey number.

Totally unnecessary and perfectly executed.

Bravo, American Airlines.
