The Berlin Swimming World Cup is set to introduce something the majority of level-headed folks have been calling for: an ‘open category’ for transgender swimmers.
World Aquatics made the announcement about the open category on Wednesday, roughly 14 months after the world swimming governing body effectively banned transgender athletes from competing against the gender they identify as.

Ronald Acuna Jr. is on pace to establish the 35-homer, 75-steal club, but another stat shows the NL MVP frontrunner’s ascent into the stratosphere of historic hitters.
By any account, Odell Beckham Jr. has had a successful NFL career. The 30-year-old took the league by storm in his debut season in 2014, winning the league’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award while making his first of three consecutive Pro Bowls with the Giants. He won a Super Bowl title with the Rams and has made a life-changing amount of money—though, by at least on former All-Pro wide receiver’s account, he could have made even more had injuries not sidetracked his trajectory.

The BMW Championship returns to one of the most historic venues in golf, the North Course at Olympia Fields Country Club outside of Chicago.
20 years ago, Jim Furyk claimed his only major championship victory by winning the U.S. Open on the North Course at Olympia Fields.
Only four players finished under par that week, as the USGA forced Olympia Fields to lengthen its North Course prior to the 2003 U.S. Open.
Texas Rangers reliever Aroldis Chapman has had a bounce-back season in 2023, which has seen him returning to the fireball-throwing lefty that terrorized hitters throughout the beginning of his career.
The latest proof of that came in Tuesday night’s victory over the Angels when he struck out Luis Rengifo with a 102-mph sinker that looked as unhittable as it sounds.
Chapman, who has been throwing nasty stuff like this all season, made this look way too easy once again.

Venus Williams will make her 24th U.S. Open appearance later this month after the United States Tennis Association issued the 43-year-old a wild card for the event.
Williams, who is currently ranked 533rd in the world, made her return to the court earlier this year after she was sidelined for six months due to injury. Williams has won the Grand Slam event twice, once in 2000 and again in ’01, and reached the final one other time in 1997—her debut at the tournament. She has also reached the quarterfinals or better 12 other times.
Williams will be joined by former world No.
Money solves all problems, right? This motto seems to be the formula being used around college football these days as we transition into a new era in the sport. What happens over the next twenty years could be a replication of the NFL model, which is unfortunate.
As we’ve all seen over the last few years with expansion, college football is being led by money, not what’s best for the sport. The Big Ten adding USC and UCLA was the tipping point of a new era, with conference presidents looking to add television viewers on the West Coast.
Colorado coach Deion Sanders takes great pride in his players being smart, tough, fast, disciplined and having strong character.
However, when a fight breaks out among players in practice, he believes players should stick up for their teammates, especially if the player directly involved in the fight is a key contributor to the team. When a fight broke out during the Buffaloes practice session on Tuesday, Sanders was not thrilled when he saw two of his players “walk off the field” to avoid the scuffle.
“He just fought.
