The movie tells the story of how Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro signed Michael Jordan to a shoe deal, and how the Air Jordan shoe line went on to become one of 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 shoe lines in history.
"Air" can teach us a number of valuable business lessons.

Women have a dramatically lower risk of sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (Sr SCA)
1. More people are taking up sports, however, there is a concern about Sr-SCA. A recent study compared the rates of Sr-SCA in women & men in Europe.

2. Out of 34,826 sudden cardiac arrests (SCA) between 2006 and 2017, 760 (2.2%) were sports-related.
Only 54 (7.1%) incidents of SCA occurred in women as compared to 706 in men.
Men had >13 times higher incidence of Sr-SCA as compared to women (0.19 vs 2.63 cases per million).

From Doping to Display: How Russia Weaponizes Sports and the Olympics for Propaganda Purposes
Russia’s use of sports and the Olympics as propaganda tools has become increasingly evident in recent years. 1/12
Russia’s use of sports and the Olympics as propaganda tools has become increasingly evident in recent years. 1/12
One of the most prominent examples of Russia’s weaponization of sports is the country’s state-sponsored doping program, which was implemented to provide its athletes with performance-enhancing drugs and then concealed from international authorities. 2/12
In 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency banned Russia from participating in international sports competitions for four years as a result of this program. 3/12

2/5 I think that the Armenian and Turkish peoples can communicate more in the fields of #sports, #art, #humanitarian, #business.
In this way, the Armenian and Turkish peoples, who have a difficult history, will gradually restore their trust.

Ovlivňování sportovních událostí (match-fixing) už dávno není o Iváncích a kamarádech,co můžou mluvit. Toto jednání ze sportu nevymizelo,ale v posledních 15 letech jej co do závažnosti a objemu mnohonásobně předběhl match-fixing spojený se sázením👇

Korupce spojená se sázením&praní špinavých peněz prostřednictvím sázení na ovlivněné sportovní události patří mezi hlavní nelegální aktivity org. zloč. skupin.Odhady: 82% všech sázek na sportovní události je nelegálních a 80% z nich je vsazeno u málo/zcela neregulovaných sázkovek
Stupně regulace sázkových trhů se ve🌎 liší. Vedle liberálního přístupu k sázení (s přiměřeným stupněm regulace) jak jej známe z 🇨🇿, existují sázkové trhy, které jsou regulovány minimálně nebo vůbec. V některých zemích (např. Čína) je sázení zakázáno úplně. 👇
"it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game," that well-known bromide about #sports and sportsmanship (@mtaibbi and @NateSilver538 may or may not remember this clichéd phrase) is ultimately a statement about *ethics*. or morality, if you like.

@elonmusk and @NateSilver538 and @mtaibbi, and their entire reactionary movement, have habituated themselves to rolling their eyes at talk of "morality", even though they do try to pretend to be moral. they always fail; Elon Musk defends "free speech" through censorship.

the *cynical* way in which the @elonmusk / @mtaibbi / @GOP conspiracy have used #FreeSpeech as a slogan for their activities, even as @RonDeSantisFL and @GregAbbott_TX and other fascist politicians do their best to rip education and journalism to shreds, is their weakness.

Cricket is one of the oldest and fastest growing sports around the world.
Here are 5 reasons why I'm bullish on the future of cricket:
Here are 5 reasons why I'm bullish on the future of cricket:
1. Growing popularity
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, with an estimated 2.5 billion fans globally.
Since 2007 there has been a 700% increase in cricket participation in the USA alone.

2. T20 format
The T20 format has been a game-changer for cricket, with the average attendance at Indian Premier League (IPL) matches increasing by 18.8% from 2018 to 2019.
The format has also helped attract a younger audience, with 66% of IPL viewers being under the age of 35.

I've been talking about how Western culture tends to loathe its children, and how a large subset of the West thinks that the best way to raise children is by hurling abuse and threats at them, military boot-camp style.
that reminds me of this poor guy: Todd Marinovich.

he's one of those sad sacks who ends up on "NFL's Greatest Bust" lists. his pro football career followed a rather familiar trajectory: he'd been schooled into a star football player, seemed really impressive (if erratic) in college, and then bombed on the national stage.

and then decades later people laugh over amusing #sports #journalism pieces about what a massive flop he was, and maybe search YouTube for some amusing clips of old games in which Marinovich threw an interception, or whatever. (I didn't find any myself.)

this was from the so-called "Romantic" era of modern #chess, when grandmasters were still working out the higher-level rules of chess—the "heuristics" that govern what we think of as chess strategy. the concept of "the center", for example, is just such a heuristic.

"the center" is a slightly vague term even now, in #chess. the sort of fool who thinks that everything has rigid definitions might draw a sharp line around the squares d4, e4, d5, e5 and define that as "the center", but center play *may* involve nearby squares as well.

#chess fans might remember Claude Bloodgood, a chess master and *convicted murderer*. he murdered his mother in 1969 (so far as I know this is not disputed, although I can't find any details about the crime) and got a capital sentence in 1970, later reduced to a life term.

#chess mavens may know Bloodgood because he was an advocate of Grob's Attack, a questionable but tricky flank opening: 1. g4, which inflicts an open wound on the first player's Kingside in exchange for some tactical complications. it's not...good.

it's for "club play", as they say—i.e. it's the sort of trick you pull against a weak player in a low-stakes game, hoping that they'll fall for some trappy sideline.
anyway, Claude Bloodgood was a fan; he wrote a book about it, "The Tactical Grob": houseofstaunton.com/the-tactical-g…

Hundreds of athletes have dropped dead FROM THE VACCINES so these demonic nutcases had to do their thing, again. I am sure these numbers are conservative: theburningplatform.com/2021/12/16/318…

Here, I present the milestones of my past 2-year #running journey
2. I completed 10,163 km of running in the past two years (6th Nov 2020 to 6th Nov 2022: 731 days), at an average of 13.9 km/day. This included 648 runs of 10k or longer, 110 runs of half marathon (21.1 km) or longer and one marathon (42.2 km).
3. I usually run at a pace of 7:15-7:30 min/km and my best pace is 5:45 to 6:00 min/km. My PB in 10 k is 57:03 min and in HM 2:04:41 hours. I cherish the #Ladakhmarathon HM the most, which I finished in 2:24:33 hours (on 11 Sep 2022).

i.e music, #fashion, #beauty, film industry, media, #Sports, #gymming and show biz etc. If we go for majority of views, Venus and mars conjunction usually delays a marriage,a person may remain unmarried if there is involvement of either Saturn or nodes Aspect on this
conjunction in either D1 or d9. If the person is married the native may not have a normal home life due to spouse working in different city or different work culture; however the conjunction itself does not cause any multiple partners either before or after the marriage .

This is a thread on the tradition of #wrestling in #Pune. The city was once known as a centre of wrestling. Even in those conservative times, these akhadas or wrestling schools acted as melting pots.

The vastads or wrestling coaches included both, non-Brahmins & Brahmins. Their students too cut across communities.
Having recently sat down to think & note all types of sports (team vs indiv, contact vs non-contact,etc) that could handle a “third (tr*ns) category,” I am concerned about the impending chaos in #sport.
Even “open” is tricky.
It really seems best to stick w/ binary MALE & FEMALE.
Even “open” is tricky.
It really seems best to stick w/ binary MALE & FEMALE.
If someone identifies in a particular way to the point where they interfere with their own body - hormones & surgeries - that’s not on #sports. That’s a choice made by an individual athlete no different than choosing to retire. In a truly “inclusive” society a feminine male…
…should not have to blink at remaining in the MALE #sports category irrespective of conceptual identity or ideology. And we know that most female-born athletes who identify as men or NB stay in the female category already (and would do so even IF the was a third category!). So…
Every minute you overthink, you are spending energy better used somewhere else.
