Why the Texas Rangers keep choosing controversy over inclusion
The franchise says everyone is welcome. So why keep making moves that suggest otherwise?
The Texas Rangers' determination to maintain antiquated beliefs is not only bad business -- it's purposely excluding people they preach to include.

A Texas soccer player went to an immigration meeting. He never came back.
"We've been playing for him."
Heartbreaking read from my colleague @lvannsports.bsky.social. Mauro Henriquez, an 18-year-old Houston ISD student and team captain for his school’s soccer team, is in ICE custody. Now, his team is playing without him — and for him. www.chron.com/sports/highs...

A Texas soccer player went to an immigration meeting. He never came back.
"We've been playing for him."
For nearly two months, Miguel Gusart has looked at an empty chair in his Spanish classroom at the Sam Houston Math, Science and Technology Center every day, confused.
"I just don't agree with the 50 days—he's just kind of stuck there and I don't understand."

She met Kobe right before he died. Now she's a star hooper for Rice.
"He told me to just 'Keep going.' I was like, 'Dang, I really just met Kobe Bryant.'"
6 years ago, Aniah Alexis met Kobe Bryant after playing his daughter, Gigi, at a 🏀 tournament. Kobe and Gigi died the next day, and Alexis now plays basketball for Rice.

The next big sport at Texas colleges might surprise you
'I tell our girls on the recruiting trail all the time: Nebraska doesn't need role models from Texas,'
I talked to several volleyball coaches about the state's massive presence in the NCAA tournament & how it has grown over the years. Since then, Texas A&M has advanced to the Final Four for the first time in school history.

Apparently, ESPN isn't using the correct acronym for SFA on its broadcasts
"We're the standalone game on ESPN 1, national television... I'm sure it'll say SF Austin."
Ahead of Stephen F Austin's appearance in the FCS quarterfinals, I talked to the school's director of marketing about the problem with ESPN not getting its name right on the scorebug -- the impact is bigger than you think.
