Quote of the Day

I want to think, all the walks I want to take,

all the books I want to read, and

all the friends I want to see.

Be Thankful for the Courageous

We'll be hearing more on the Don King case in December. It's taken people with an incredible amount of courage to step forward and tell their stories.

There have been many more posts (and reader comments) since then.

In April of this year, a post on the outcome of the trial went up. Read it here.

The site mentioned in the post is scheduled to be opened back up after an upcoming hearing.

Goodell Joins Title IX Reform Movement

Former "Animal Lane" d-man Brian Goodell has joined the Board of Trustees at the Fairness in Sports Foundation.

Goodell was an Olympic Gold Medalist, World Record Holder, and NCAA Champion.

As a member of the UCLA men’s swim team, Goodell has been trying to bring men’s swimming back to UCLA since it was dropped in 1994 - the same year the university eliminated its men’s and women’s gymnastics programs. The school restored women’s gymnastics a few months later; however, it would not reinstate the men’s programs despite the number of Olympic and NCAA champions they produced.

Check out their post on the new swimming complex being built at UCLA here.

While your at it, check out MOMMSS (Moms On a Mission to Save Sports) here.
