The London TIMES goes with the header, "Football must be less insular to benefit from outsiders' expertise." With Sir Jim Ratcliffe bringing in Ineos Dir of Sport Sir Dave Brailsford to help run Manchester United's football operations, it "is Brailsford’s calling, now, to prove that indeed" his skills as a cycling guru "are transferrable" to soccer. Can you "move from one sport, where your expertise is absolute, to another where it is not?" There are test cases in this report that "suggest that you can, though the question also has to be asked in reverse: not 'can you make it?' but 'is the sport ready to allow you to?'"
Also:
- The WNBA and USWNT represent the best of Martin Luther King Jr.'s beautiful vision.
- Is the Sphere a money-maker? Jury still out on financial success.
- Boos of Jerry Krause at Bulls’ Ring of Honor ceremony should have been expected.
