"Chris spoke about "resistance through joy," which struck a chord amid the heaviness of the world today-that joy itself can be activism, community care, and forward motion. Jonathan shared that he grew up with no role models in cheerleading, yet through courage and authenticity he has now become one, opening doors for a new generation of young male cheerleaders. Danielle emphasized sustaining a movement beyond the moment, and the importance of taking up space with confidence."
"November has a way of bringing sports to life in every corner of the Bay Area. This month took me courtside and community-side-from Pride Night at Chase Center to a powerful San Jose Sports Hall of Fame celebration and major news from the Bay Area Host Committee as we prepare to welcome Super Bowl LX. And that was just the beginning."
November brought sports to life across the Bay Area with events emphasizing community, inclusivity, and legacy. Golden State Warriors Pride Night included Above the Rim, an Accenture-sponsored panel featuring Danielle Thoe, Jonathan Romer, and Chris Mosier. Panelists promoted "resistance through joy," courage, authenticity, sustaining movements beyond single moments, and taking up space with confidence, urging people to reward themselves for showing up. After the panel, attendees learned of an LGBTQ-focused USA House planned for the FIFA World Cup next July. The 30th Annual San Jose Sports Hall of Fame induction at SAP Center celebrated sports legacy with a sold-out crowd. The Bay Area Host Committee announced major Super Bowl LX preparations.
