Video: Profile of Maria Mutola, 800m legend and now coach of Caster Semenya
Maria Mutola is one of the world's greatest athletes. The 800 meter champion (2000 Olympic gold medalist, World Champion in 1993, 2001, 2003 etc) competed in 6 Olympic games and is often cited as the best athlete in this event. The 800 is notorious in t...[Read on]
On the WPS: States of Suspension
Readers should already know that the WPS suspended the league for this upcoming season. (Some reports on the decision: Sports Illustrated/Associated Press; All White Kit; The Guardian.) To say that the league has struggled would be an understatement. It's...[Read on]
Soccer by Searchlight: looking for the future in the past
It's a little known fact that the earliest night matches were women's games. Amazing how far we've moved in the wrong direction. In 1920 enough people were excited by the idea of watching women play that they packed the terraces. The media thought the m...[Read on]
More Notes on a Scandal: Cultures of Compliance (the Penn State/Berkeley comparison)
The other week, my university's Chancellor sent out a message encouraging people to respect each other's differences - be they cultural, political, religious, academic, etc.  It's the kind of thing administrators generate to look like they are doing the ...[Read on]

Lament for the Injured, Pt. 2
Riyas Komu, from exhibit "Safe to Fight" (Azad Art Gallery, Tehran, 2010)Fear of ACL injury has replaced fear of intimacy as my number one issue. Plenty of people come back from an ACL tear and still play in leagues and pick-up games. But plenty also leav...[Read on]
Flat footed Solo!
I would love to know how often DWTS women are allowed to wear flats.Solo was much lighter on her feet. In fact, she seemed to enjoy the performance - she was playful. The team is moving up the ranks even as the competition gets tougher.Note that rehearsal...[Read on]
Lament for the Injured, Pt. 1
Yrsa Roca Fannberg, The Death of a Former Giant (watercolor on paper, 2009)For most of my life, I've had very specific flying dreams. Mysleeping self unlocks gravity with a perfect physical coordination. I'll be running, or dancing, and then somehow both ...[Read on]
