WNBA Incidents Expose Misogyny in Sports Culture
As a coach, an uncle, and a son, I believe we must speak out against the normalization of misogyny. This is bigger than sports—it’s about the dignity and humanity of every woman.
Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

🧵1/2 📣 Rejecting #Misogyny is #Patriotism
🗣️As a #coach, an uncle, and a son, I have a responsibility to speak out against this culture of disrespect and misogyny. I call upon others in the sports and #fitness industry to do the same—not tomorrow, but today.
🚨The sexualization of #WNBA athletes, the rhetoric from elected leaders, and the constant mockery of women’s dignity by social media influencers are not isolated incidents. These are deliberate, dehumanizing actions, reflected in
2/
… in their homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
🎯Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.
➡️ We must reject this unequivocally—not just with words, but with our actions. Because true leadership is defined by integrity, and the dignity, safety, and humanity of women are non-negotiable.

📣July is Disability Pride Month, a time to recognize the strength, resilience, and leadership of people with disabilities.
➡️This month, and every month, I am committed to advancing inclusiveness, access, and pride in all abilities across the health and fitness industry, and within the broader community. - Coach Julio

- There is no room for DV in any society.
- Alcoholism is symptom of mental health issues (not addressed comprehensibly in our health system)
- Women overlooked… they are legions and social norms have to change. It’s an educational problem (formal and home schooling both), where more action/funding is required.
A work in progress… for all of us.

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?
Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.
All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.
Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).
Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).
The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Your voice matters—use it before they silence others. History reminds us: when one group is dehumanized, others are never far behind.

A deeply personal share.
I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.
Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.
Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

📣Our humanity is not negotiable.
🇺🇸🇩🇴 I want to share a quote I reflect on daily. It’s from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it feels more urgent than ever:
🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America,” Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🚨Apathy is a luxury we cannot afford.

"... the amendments that were made to the Equal Pay Act in 2020 made a real, tangible difference to women and women's pay. We had 13 successful pay equity claims that went through, and those women saw a huge difference. In some cases, up to 30%+ changes to their pay.
Today we've seen a huge step backwards, and we need to create a better world for our daughters and our granddaughters."

If you are in the group of men who think gender equality has “gone too far”, please punch yourself in the neck and disappear into a dark cave where you belong.
