Sports: Diverse kinds: Some opening thawts

Sports Diverse is a blog of wide sports interests, and international--on athletics, sportsmen, sportswomen, sports kids, and games and teams of all sorts. But the author, Sportikos, can only catch-as-catch-can events (mostly on TV), sports news, and shorts vidclips like those on YouTube. I'm not getting to live games much these days, perhaps that will change. Some friends give my clues and hints on what to watch and what's coming up next. Hat Tips in advance to all of 'em.

I'm also interested in the philosophy of sports, athletics (to play on the word) as an intellectual discipline and therefore potentially interactive with reformational Christian philosophy an international movement of thinkers who are in principle pro-sports. As such, Sports Diverse will occasionally take on sports perverse with critical remarks on those drastic deviations from what is good and normative about amateur, collegiate, olympic, and professional sporting life in its many aspects. And that includes the ethical aspect in relation to a reformational philosophical ethics of sports.
