Nearly 100 former Boston U soccer players unite in support of coach against Alex Cooper's sexual harassment claims
Boston University's soccer players are backing the team's former longtime soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, after Alex Cooper made damning allegations against her. Cooper, host of the popular 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, claimed in a Hulu documentary that Feldman sexually harassed her and alleged that school officials ignored her when she brought it to their attention. Ninety-nine former Terriers stars came forward as a 'united group' to share their own experiences with Feldman, who retired after in April 2022. They said as a group that they 'categorically never felt unsafe,' according to a letter obtained by TMZ. 'We were never at risk of or witness to inappropriate behavior or anything that could be characterized as sexual harassment,' the letter read. 'As a leader, she approached every day with professionalism, making decisions in service of the success of the team. [Feldman] has remained an important part of our lives, and we shall stand by her.' Cooper claimed that Feldman asked inappropriate questions about her love life in the mid-2010s, and she alleged that she was benched for not disclosing certain intimate information. Her family then approached school officials over the matter, but nothing came of it. 'I felt a lot of anger — anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,' Cooper said in the doc. Cooper claims that she considered filing a lawsuit over the alleged harassment but ultimately chose not to. Boston University released a statement last week denying any wrongdoing. 'Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,' the statement read. 'We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office. 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.' Cooper was a midfielder for Boston University from 2013-15 and has since become one of the most popular podcasters in the country. Her Unwell Network and 'Call Her Daddy' podcast vaulted her into stardom since her departure from Barstool Sports in 2021.

Red Sox raise doxxing concerns to police after Rafael Devers trade, officials say
Boston Red Sox fans are apparently taking their frustrations out on social media after the Rafael Devers trade. Shortly after the Sox completed a three-game sweep of their arch-rival New York Yankees, they sent Devers, who homered on Sunday over the Green Monster, to the San Francisco Giants. The writing had been on the wall for some time after the Sox signed third baseman Alex Bregman, and eventually, Devers refused to play first base. Devers has only been a designated hitter all season. However, despite the clear friction in the clubhouse, Devers was the face of the franchise and the last man standing from the 2018 World Series championship team, apparently leaving some Sox fans in dismay. In the wake of trading Devers, Newton Police said they were made aware of reports that "some members of the Red Sox have been victims of doxxing on social media due to a recent trade." Police told Fox News Digital in a statement that they were "notified by representatives from the Boston Red Sox Organization," but they are "not investigating any online threats." The Red Sox did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. TMZ Sports first reported the doxxing. In speaking with reporters on Monday about the trade, Breslow actually said "there's a real chance" that at the end of the season, they will have "won more games" without Devers than with him. The Giants took on all $250 million remaining on Devers' contract. With lots of cash now available, and a team that is right in the postseason race, Breslow said the front office will continue to look for ways to improve the team, with a middle-of-the-lineup hitter a new need. "For some reason, this team (is) an example where the whole was not greater than the sum of the parts," he said. "And being great teammates and sacrificing and stepping up for each other and embodying this shared vision, we believe that those are principles that we need to be faithful to. "And so, at the end of the season, I think we could look back and say we've won more games than we otherwise would have, because of the way that this roster is now able to come together."

Exposing disrespect in The Hobby
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 13: Rafael Devers #11 of the Boston Red Sox looks on in the tenth inning against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park on June 13, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by) Let's talk this week about disrespect. Not about disrespecting each other, but the things in the industry that tend to get too much heat from us collectors. What do I mean? We'll, let's start with: Authentic Autos : Ok, let's run through a scenario on this one: I have two cards for sale; The first is a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander autographed Prizm rookie card. In 2018 he signed a bunch of stickers that Panini eventually took and then put one of those stickers on a rookie card and put it in a pack. SGA never once handled the card. The second is a base SGA Prizm rookie that a fan handed to him after a game and he signed and handed back to the fan; the card was then authenticated by PSA, so we know it's legit. Yeah, you'll pay 3x for the sticker auto because it's 'the real version' instead of paying for an actual card that he hand-signed. I get it, I would too, but are we not giving Authentic Autos the love they deserve? Centering : Just ask my buddy Dave Gonos, who brought this one to light in a recent conversation he had with Michael Salfino . Instinctually we tend to poo-poo centering because 'hey, it's not my fault the card isn't centered!' Everyone spends too much time looking at the corners and not enough time focusing on centering. Second-Year Cards : Everyone is rookie chasing these days. I know the product hasn't been out too long, but a Victor Wembanyama second-year base Prizm has a pop of just five PSA 10s. As opposed to his rookie Prizm which has a pop of like a million or something. Talk about 'rare.' Tennis Cards : Ok, hear me out - we are currently witnessing the greatest generation of young tennis players and it may well be that Carlos Alcaraz will go down in history as the greatest to ever do it. Pin this email and come back to it in like 16 years. If he's not I'll buy you a beer. Yo! MTV Raps 1991 Cards : There will never be another set like this. Never. And you can get a wax box of 36 packs for under $40. It basically has the 'rookie' card of every rapper from the early 90's and prior. Kingfisher 1936 Typhoo Tea British Birds and their Eggs Cards: These are cards from 1936… of birds… and their eggs! And you can get the complete set for under $10. The Nightengale's (probably) rookie card is in this set! Someone held onto them for almost 90 years and is like 'hell yeah, time to make $8 off these bad boys!' 1929 Carreras Famous Women - Florence Nightingale Cigarette Card : Speaking of… you can get a Florence Nightingale rookie card for under $15 . Nightingale is the GOAT nurse. Bro, don't come at me with 'Mary Seacole was doing the same thing but as an independent nurse, bro!!' That's a garbage take. Give me Nightingale in her prime. No disrespect to Mrs. Seacole, of course. I know it's been over 24 hours at this point but with the Red Sox trading Rafael Devers this might be the last opportunity to get a decent return on his cards. Whenever a superstar gets traded his/her new fanbase tends to pounce on any rare or rookie cards of that player. That heat cools off a few days after, but you might be able to still hit the tail-end of the 'run on' Devers cards. This week in 'can't stop, won't stop': ladies and gentlemen, Gamestop is back . They did over $211 million in increased collectibles sales in Q1. This is cool . This collector collects all baseball cards that have Fenway's Green Monster shown on the card. Love it. The closest thing I have is a collection of every card that shows the Menendez Brothers sitting courtside at a Knicks game. Killer set! I'm super excited about this news . We have WNBA Downtowns coming. Obviously, Caitlin Clark is the big get, but right behind her has to be the Paige Beuckers rookie Downtown. That actually might fetch a resale value close to Clark's. The Wyatt Langford 1/1 Rookie Debut Patch Auto sold this weekend for $183,000 at Goldin. Which makes it the third all-time highest sale for a Debut Patch 1/1 card. I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money, but – you know what, actually, I can get behind this. Advertisement The Rookie Debut Patch Auto cards are super cool looking and Langford at 23 years old is already showing some pop in his bat. Nice buy by the buyer, who hopefully was Langford himself. Fanatics Fest is back, baby. Get pumped. And according to Michael Rubin this year's is going to be '10-times better' than last year's. I know it's easy to be cynical about these celebrity, star-studded events but to be honest stuff like Fanatics Fest and The National are a big part of what make the hobby thrive. It brings the sports and entertainment worlds together, it fosters and facilitates community and more importantly it focuses on creating experiences that engage and entice young collectors.
