The N.Y. TIMES goes with, "It’s a Long Leap From Sports Team Owner to U.S. Senator." With the Bucks' Alex Lasry dropping out of the U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin, he has "learned there’s a difference between making fans happy and appealing to voters." There are "plenty of former athletes and coaches who have made the jump from the playing field or the sideline to Capitol Hill: Bill Bradley, J.C. Watts, Tom Osborne and, more recently, Tommy Tuberville." But it is "much less common for the owners of sports franchises, whose faces are not so familiar, to inspire the same level of electoral fandom."
Also:
- It might take a World Juniors boycott to truly reform Hockey Canada.
- Pittsburgh tourism execs would "love" to join Chicago in staging NASCAR street race.
- USATF President Vin Lananna shows no interest in hogging the spotlight.
- Simone Biles' clothing collection passes the test for style, inspiration and confidence.
- THE RINGER on LIV golfers, organizers and sponsors' "complicity and deflection."
