Not a bad idea. If the team isn't going well, you can head to the tailgate area for a brew....

I went down to a DC United game when Wayne Rooney was playing there. It was a nice little stadium and good fun. Rooney scored two goals, one on a penalty...

When I was working at a small-town newspaper in the '70s and early '80s and covering local high school sports (along with the school board and several...

I think the legislative vote made the prevailing sentiment crystal clear. The PIAA either represents the will of the vast majority of its membership,...

It is not a major sport at the high school level. Basketball would get 10 times the attendance of baseball at most high schools....

The portal hits everyone. It's sad to see money creeping in at the D2 level, but it was inevitable. That's going to make it harder to build back up once...

Many, many years ago when I was attending Ship, most of what became the PASSHE schools had a large majority of women as they were basically teachers'...

It's fast growing at the high school level, but it's also another sport you would have to fund at the college level, and I doubt it would bring in serious...

So you'll have a sport with only three PASSHE members actually involved. Interesting....

West Chester had done a good job to get to the final in a sport where Southern teams have an obvious advantage. Give the league's geographic footprint,...

I can't speak for black people, but I think the old Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben depictions were stereotypical in a way that was uncomfortable for many of...
