Scoop: the WNBA regular season is poised to expand from 44 regular season games in 2026 to 52 games over the life of new CBA, per verbal agreement with terms still to be ratified. @soshnick sportico.com/leagues/basket…

The IOC strictly mandates athletes hold passports for the nation they represent. It's a requirement that has scrambled the competitive fields for many sports (cc: ice dancing) Now Italian baseball faces new challenge: sharply curtailed citizenship laws sportico.com/leagues/baseba…

Team Italy, the @WBCBaseball semifinalist, already has begun preparations for the @WBSC Premier16 qualifier in October. Marco Mazzieri, Italian federation president, is looking for Italian passport holders to play in the event, the first step in @LA28 qualifying. @WBSCEurope

New @Sportico MLB team valuations are out. Yankees & Dodgers both top $9 billion. Revenue multiples jumped from 6.6 to 7.2 but still lag other sports leagues as MLB faces trio of challenges in labor, revenue disparity and media distribution puzzle.

Altogether, the timing of the Italian baseball team’s success and its spotlight on the Italian diaspora comes as the question of Italian identity has never been more politically relevant. Full story for @Sportico sportico.com/leagues/baseba…

Meanwhile, children of immigrants who were born & raised in Italy find it virtually impossible to become citizens. A referendum was held last year that would have eased their path. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni urged a boycott, and the referendum failed npr.org/2025/06/09/g-s…

The dinger-hitting, espresso-chugging Italian baseball team is lighting up the WBC and showcasing Italian-American culture. But hours after the Azzurri went 4-0, a court in Italy affirmed a new law that cuts off citizenship for millions of people in the Italian diaspora ⬇️

Everyone knows Team Italy is mostly comprised of Italian-Americans. Less known is the fact their WBC success coincides exactly with the Italian government reforming its citizenship laws. On baseball, politics, and the question of who, exactly, is Italian: sportico.com/leagues/baseba…

Yes, the espresso-in-the-dugout is a good bit. “Nessun Dorma” playing in the stadium when Italy hits a dinger might be even better.

NYC -Lake Placid would be roughly equivalent to Milan-Cortina spread out Olympics hosting model in terms of distance and transit accessibility between clusters (5-7hrs, no direct rail or flight) I wrote about the pros and cons of the spread out model here sportico.com/leagues/olympi…

New: Gov. Kathy Hochul tells reporters today she's on board with a committee to formalize a NYC-Lake Placid winter olympics bid: “I am excited about it. I think we are primed to bring the games to New York,” Hochul said. nypost.com/2026/03/09/us-…
