Fans are betting thousands of dollars that someone will toss a sex toy onto a WNBA court . and then claiming that they will toss a sex toy onto a WNBA court. This won't end well for leagues or bookies. by me for @opinion.

Very interesting article re how social media is transforming dance.
startribune.com
Many find inspiration on social media for styles such as improvisational dance, but is it a safe way to learn training and techniques for ballet?

I've wanted to write about professional cornhole forever. ESPN just gave me the excuse I've been looking for.
Baseball lovers angry ESPN delayed the All-Star Selection Show for the bean bag-throwing competition should gain some perspective, writes @AdamMinter (via @opinion)

President Trump is barring Chinese entities from buying U.S. farmland. As I explained in 2022, the "solution" is likely to cause more problems than it solves. Fortunately, there are better ways to protect national security, and farm country. for @opinion.

Foreign ownership raises legitimate fears but national food security is enhanced by outsiders who seek economic opportunity in rural areas.

Tennis can do a lot more to help players targeted by angry gamblers.
Tennis's governing bodies are calling for gaming operators to take more action against individual gamblers, but that’s not enough to address the abusive messages players receive, writes @AdamMinter

ESPN just called China's Hansen Yang, picked at #16, in the #nbadraft, the night's biggest surprise. Back in May, I explained why nobody should be surprised. @opinion.
bloomberg.com
At 7 feet, 2 inches tall and 249 pounds, Hansen Yang will undoubtedly be an asset on the court. But what he can deliver off it is even more crucial.

What’s remarkable about Melissa Hortman, the state legislator who was shot and killed last week, is not how she died, but how she worked and lived.

Congress wants to bail out the NCAA, too. Don't do it, I say, for @opinion.
It was a mistake for Congress to introduce two bills that would allow the NCAA to regain its long-contested authority over college athletes, writes @AdamMinter
