Egypt Cup Cancelled Amid Sharpening Political Fault Lines

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has cancelled this season’s Egypt’s Cup as political fault lines in Egyptian soccer sharpened by the protests that last week toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak reverberated within one of Egypt’s most storied clubs.

Roland Garros Tournament To Stay In Paris… For Now

The French Open is staying put in Paris.  The French Tennis Federation has voted to keep the French Open at its traditional Roland Garros venue in Paris. This decision won a 70.13 percent of votes over the alternatives after three different voting sessions.  Three other venues, including Versailles, Marne-la-Vallee and Gonesse, were bidding to host the French Open, but the Federation voted... 

Fabio Capello Has Been A Huge Failure As England Boss

It all started so brightly. Fabio Capello was appointed manager of the English national team in December 2007, replacing the outgoing Steve McClaren. After the disappointment of the European Championship campaign, where the Wally with the Brolly was unable to guide England through qualifying, the Italian mastermind took over and the future looked bright for English football. He had a resume that would... 

Tiger Woods’ Dubai Spit Wad WAS a Big Deal and Here’s Why

Big deal or no big deal? Fact is, the spitting incident involving Tiger Woods on Sunday in Dubai WAS a big deal. The reasons are very clear. We’re talking about major cultural differences between Middle East countries and the United States. Ask anyone who has traveled abroad in the land of sand and there’s a huge list of “no-no” behavior.

Tiger Woods and the 25 Most Beloved Players in Golf History

Golf is the one sport that anyone can play at any age. Yes, you can argue for other sports, but only golf provides the common man an opportunity any time. You are never too old or young.

However, he still... 

Indian GP Update: Overtaking Could Go To a Whole New Level

FIA race director Charlie Whiting visited the track recently along with Federation... 

Tennis Is Dismal At Best: The Concerning State of the Sport in America

This year’s Australian Open should leave the United States Tennis Association (USTA) more than a little alarmed about the future of American tennis in general and at grand slam tournaments in particular. After the fourth round of play at the year’s first major tournament, there remained precisely zero Americans in the field of players vying for either the men’s or women’s singles... 

Kim Clijsters Shows the Malaise That Has Struck Women’s Tennis

Kim Clijsters is the new world No. 1. And deservedly so, out of everyone who is playing, she is the best, and the only player capable of matching her, Serena Williams, has been on a very long injury sabbatical. While I am not her biggest fan, I respect what she has done during her comeback. She has won three majors and lifted herself out of the semi-mocked group of one-slam wonders. She has brought... 

Tiger Woods Spitting: 10 Worse Things Tiger Could Have Done in Dubai

Tiger Woods spitting on the green is the latest horrible thing that Tiger has done. If you read the sports headlines today, you would have thought the golfer slaughtered a unicorn on 17 and then dumped out a box of Girl Scout cookies.  Look, the man spit…on grass. Can we get some perspective here? I understand that there is a level of decorum in golf absent from other sports, but Tiger has...
