Cameron Brink, the second-overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, believes that younger white players in the league, such as herself, are privileged. Actually, not just privileged in the general sense, but “inherently” privileged.
Given that we’re living in the year 2024 and many Americans, especially those born in the 2000s like Brink, can’t have a discussion without bringing race into the fold, it took no time at all for race to become one of the lead talking points when discussing the WNBA.

For hockey fans who are deaf or hard of hearing, this year’s Stanley Cup Final has something special for you: a first-of-its-kind sign language broadcast.
The NHL announced that it is partnering with P-X-P, which has helped put on American Sign Language broadcasts for events like the Winter Classic, Stadium Series, All-Star Game, and even Commissioner Gary Bettman’s State of the League address.
How did last season set the stage for Florida? What keyed Edmonton’s turnaround?
Hitting a baseball is hard, starring Kendrick Perkins
Ted Williams was one of the greatest hitters who ever lived. Williams was the last player to hit .400 in a single season, and “The Splendid Splinter” had one of the sweetest swings in MLB history.
Williams once famously said that “I think without question the hardest single thing to do in sport is to hit a baseball,” a quote that many a Little League coach has relied upon to help calm a struggling young baseball player after a strikeout. This I know from personal experience.

It’s no secret that Tiger Woods struggles to navigate golf courses, but according to Collin Morikawa, he will never use a golf cart.
Collin Morikawa spent some quality time with Tiger Woods last week in Las Vegas for ‘Tiger Jam,’ the fundraiser for the TGR Foundation.
Morikawa said the 15-time major can hit any shot he wants to, but as the golfing world knows, the biggest knock on Woods right now is that he struggles to walk for 18 holes—let alone for four straight days.
I’m always a big two-sport athlete guy. It just fascinates me given how much it takes to compete at the highest level in one sport, let alone two, and come the Paris Olympics, ex-NBA player Chase Budinger will add his name to the list of two-sport athletes when he competes in the Olympic beach volleyball tournament.
Budinger played in the NBA from 2009 to 2016 and had stints with the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers, and Phoenix Suns. He then capped off his pro career in Spain, hopefully crushing some paella and various types of expensive ham.
Bryson DeChambeau finished runner-up in the 2024 PGA Championship, one shot behind Xander Schauffele. His four-day score of 20-under par made him just the third player in the 106-year history of the event to reach that mark, he led the field in driving distance and scrambling, and was third in strokes gained tee-to-green for the week.
Sure, not hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy is the big takeaway, but most would say that DeChambeau played some stellar golf at Valhalla Golf Club. Not according to the man himself.

Jack Nicklaus won The Open Championship three times, so it feels right that his Memorial Tournament will give someone a chance to play.
Similar to the U.S. Open, The Open Championship stages qualifying events worldwide.
On May 31, Pasha Eshghi appeared on the “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast and delivered a rant about New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba.
The day before, the Rangers had lost Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final to the Florida Panthers to fall into a 3-2 hole in the series. The Panthers would go on to win Game 6 to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
Caitlin Clark is the most contentious story in sports. Consequently, very few pundits and journalists discuss her honestly. That’s often what happens when conversations approach the third rail, as in race.
Still, there are a few members of the old guard in sports media who are not afraid of the social media mob or pinhead middle managers demanding they apologize.
On Monday, “PTI” hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon had one of the more honest conversations about Clark and race that you’ll find on sports television.
