Proposed Tennis Rule: Limit on How Long Server Can...
I was watching Nadal v Cilic today. There was one point where Nadal was in position to serve for some time. Cilic stepped out and called for Nadal to reset.
This was not an extreme situation, and I only remember it happening once. But Novak Djokavic used to do this a lot.
As the ESPN commentators pointed out, this is akin to a batter stepping out of the batter box when MLB pitchers take too...

We need to defend ethnic studies →
The year has started off badly for those of us who value the teaching of history, diversity, free thought and respect for others.

Some people are speculating on whether or not political rhetoric of...

This list is not comprehensive. Please tell me what I’ve missed in the comments. The people and events here are not listed in any specific order.
