| | rantnrave:// Is it possible to understate greatness? The UCONN women's basketball program has won 100 games in a row and there's no end in sight. GENO AURIEMMA has constructed a behemoth and there is no end sight. STORRS is a remarkable factory line of stars, from MAYA MOORE to BREANNA STEWART to KATIE LOU SAMUELSON. They are the modern day LEW ALCINDOR and BILL WALTON. But, sports has always had an attention hierarchy. There's the NFL, and then every other sport. But this team should break the mold. They are JOHN WOODEN's UCLA teams on steroids. Putting the spotlight elsewhere means we cannot witness the best program women's basketball has ever seen and only furthers the bias against women's sports. We need to stop ignoring them and start celebrating them-- and the networks might be pleasantly surprised by the ratings... While trying to assess the effect of PRESIDENT TRUMP's administration, most of the analysis has been hypothetical to this point. But it has cost the MLS. A MUSLIM soccer player declined to sign with the league last month because he did not feel safe in the U.S. and Trump's executive order on immigration contributed to his worries. How many more stories will come out like these? What if the NBA loses a player? What if it costs the U.S. an OLYMPIC bid? Or what happens when a barebones PATRIOTS roster shows up to the WHITE HOUSE? How will the president -- and the country -- react when the hypothetical becomes real?... The D-LEAGUE has been rebranded after a deal with GATORADE. What does the NBA get for naming it the G-League? Money, but what else? | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |
