View more opinion on CNN. London (CNN) When I first heard back in February that the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) was considering banning Russian and Belarusian players from Wimbledon following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I was surprised. After all, most other major leagues have allowed individual Russian athletes to continue to work in their respective sports -- whether it's the NHL in the US and Canada, European football leagues or the World Tennis Tour. Patrick McEnroe I have gone back and forth on whether the AELTC made the right decision. But after plenty of conversations with people at both ends of this political -- because it is political -- argument, I have reached a conclusion. The club made the wrong call. On Monday, the oldest and … [Read more...] about Opinion: Why Wimbledon’s Russian and Belarusian player ban is the wrong call

5 Politics & Government KONKOL COLUMN: The level-headed pastor's message of civility is the only reason to pay attention to the Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Mark Konkol , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Replies CHICAGO — There hasn't been a spotlight focused on who might survive the seven-way Republican primary for U.S. Senate from Illinois that insiders believe only allows the "winner" to get clobbered by incumbent Democrat Tammy Duckworth in November. Voters aren't paying much attention, either. A recent poll found 66 percent of expected Republican voters were still undecided in early June. For me, there's only one reason to care: the candidacy of the Rev. Anthony Williams. Williams is running on one issue: Making America healthy. "That means addressing civilian violence as a public health crisis, pushing our nation to the center and remaining calm, cool and steady," he said Wednesday. Williams' … [Read more...] about Anthony Williams’ GOP Senate Campaign Pushes To ‘Make America Healthy’

DENVER (AP) — Joe Sakic was so busy relishing and reminiscing that he nearly missed the team photo with the Stanley Cup before racing over just in time to join the on-ice celebration at Amalie Arena. The general manager of the Colorado Avalanche joined fellow Denver icon John Elway in leading his team to a championship from the front office two decades after winning a pair of titles during his Hall of Fame playing career. A star captain and center when the Avalanche won it all in 1996 and 2001, Sakic secured a third Stanley Cup championship Sunday night as the architect of the star-studded firebolt of a team that dispatched the back-to-back defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.

The next generation of quarterbacks is coming. And some — like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen — have already arrived, becoming the marquee players of today’s NFL. And there are quite a few who are blossoming before our eyes. Eight of the league’s top-12 quarterbacks now reside in the AFC, which should indicate how tough that conference will be this year. That means quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa need to step up, or get left behind. If Tagovailoa doesn’t move into the top third of NFL starting quarterbacks in the next season or two, the Miami Dolphins will have wasted their time on yet another average starting quarterback. Here’s a ranking of all 32 starting QBs in the league: NFL Elites — Put these quarterbacks on any team and they are likely advancing to the postseason. 1. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes Mahomes, who turs 27 in September, is athletic, has a cannon for an arm, and has already proven he’s a winner (53-13 record) in his four seasons as an NFL … [Read more...] about Omar Kelly: Where does Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa rank among NFL starting QBs?
