A follow up to an earlier post: The Sports Frog blog argues that the women players at Wimbeldon should make even more than the men because they a play a better game.
I was led to this post from the Sports Law Blog - they have some great stuff on there if you don't already read it - particulary on racial issues.
USA Today has an article on Native American tribes that own sports teams or invest in sport ventures - including the Mohegan Tribe in Conn., which became the first non-NBA owner of a WNBA team - the Connecticut Sun (the team I followed this past summer for a book I'm working on about how the media covers women's sports).
Speaking of the Sun - they announced on Wed. that they are trading one of my favorite players - Taj McWilliams-Franklin - she's a class act. Sigh.
Today it was announced that Wimbeldon will finally pay women and men equal prize money.
The New York Times had an article yesterday on how women athletes are embracing their bigger, stronger, and faster selves.
The New York Times profiles Yelena Isinbayeva - a Russian pole vaulter, who I had never heard of - and according to this piece, I'm not alone - she is pretty amazing and "has broken 19 world records (both indoor and outdoor) and won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens"
