Newly-elected IOC chief Kirsty Coventry comes with some baggage despite being Thomas Bach's preferred successor. The former Zimbabwean minister of sport must tackle key issues in the coming months. #SportsAndPolitics #PoliticalGeography #SportsGeography bbc.com/sport/olympics…

Your friendly reminder that sports is NEVER apolitical. #SportsGeography espn.com/college-sports…

You had to know this was coming with nationwide conferences. I don't expect anyone to care or advocate for more geographically compact leagues, but this is interesting research. #SportsGeography #ClimateGeography latimes.com/environment/ne…

@GaStateAlumni Is one way to standout by using ALT text with images on social media?

Land development or lack thereof comes to #MiLB and threatens the future of another team. #SportsGeography #UrbanGeography thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/orioles…

It's maddening to see that Georgia is still one of the least friendly states to craft breweries. #BeerGeography wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…

It's clear that changes in #NCAAHockey are going to affect junior hockey in the U.S. and Canada. #SportsGeography sportsnet.ca/ohl/article/us…

@TeamPillen Why are we wasting state dollars on this mansion when you don't live there? @SenatorRicketts didn't live their either, but funds went to maintain this place. Sell it off and deliver the property tax benefits you promised!

With hundreds of cheerful Nebraskans in attendance, today we lit the Capitol Christmas Tree and welcomed families into the Governor’s Residence for the annual Hometown Christmas festival. Sadly, both events were disrupted by a small but loud group of radical “Justice for Palestine” protestors. I am grateful for the State Patrol, Lincoln Police, and Capitol Security personnel who maintained order and provided security for the parents and children who came for a joyful day. Faith, hope, and Christ’s love prevailed over the anger and vitriol spewed by the protestors, and it always will throughout the Christmas season.

UFL expansion will be interesting, especially looking at what markets are considered. However, pieces that list a city population and not the MSA population clearly don't understand the process. #SportsGeography pfnewsroom.com/column/ufl-exp…

Leagues and teams often play neutral-site games with no intention of expanding to that market, but #PWHL is probably taking a different route as a still very young league. #SportsGeography espn.com/nhl/story/_/id…

For my Nebraska friends, here is a great thread that recaps the key state-level results from last night.

What does a 32-team #NBA look like? #SportsGeography cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-e…

@gabybori When people are so far removed or unaware of their ancestors and steps they took to assimilate, it's easy to assume an individual MUST adopt ONE identity.

@geoSteven it’s so hard for people to put two and two together 😂

I wonder why it’s so hard for people to understand that you can be of multiple races lol. My husband is a proud black man, but he is multiracial on his dad’s side. My daughter is multiracial and multiethnic. Mixed race/ethnicity/culture is a thing 😉

Great piece explaining why corporations sponsor major events on the heels of the @nycmarathon this weekend. #SportsBusiness fortune.com/2024/10/31/new…

I bet the State College airport would gladly expand its runway if James Franklin made a donation. #SportsGeography #Realignment footballscoop.com/news/james-fra…

The state of major college sports conferences is beyond ridiculous, but the Pac-12 and MWC battle for the West is the epitome of stupidity. #SportsGeography cbssports.com/college-footba…

@USRepMikeFlood @TeamPillen @SenatorFischer @SenatorRicketts @RepAdrianSmith @RepDonBacon Can you explain why carpetbagging @LindseyGrahamSC was in MY state to collude with MY representatives about this issue?!

It’s time to return Nebraska to winner-take-all. The Nebraska delegation stands with @TeamPillen and Speaker Arch. Read our full letter here 👇

Even if you didn't know Everett, we are all a bit worse off because he is no longer with us. schaudtfuneralservice.com/obituaries/rev…

@gabybori Nebraskans don't really use it either, so whenever I do, people know I'm not originally from here. Granted, I don't care because it's a MUCH better word than the options.

@geoSteven New Mexicans dont say it out here so i stick out like a sore thumb lol

yea?
