Sports In Society

We start this week by looking into the crazy NBA summer and a bit of college basketball news as well. We also touch on the soccer transfer market and the Ronaldo vs. Messi conversation. Finally we have a few thoughts about ESPN's body issue and Sergio at Wimbledon. Then we discuss the strike of the Aussies in the cricket world and Sagan being out of the Tour de France. Our main topic today is whether we should be subsidizing sports, especially stadiums. For our "I think" pieces, we discuss the joy of amateur sports and cycling while wishing for more.
