Qatar’s BeIN sports network has been unblocked for its customers in the United Arab Emirates more than a month since it was caught up in the Gulf crisis. Du and Etisalat, the two UAE-based telecommunications providers, on Saturday confirmed in text messages and emails to their subscribers the reinstatement of BeIN channels which have the rights to broadcast hugely popular European football leagues. “We would like to advise that…

Sixteen years ago, the federal government passed a law aimed at creating a bit of stability in the lives of homeless students. Kids whose families lacked a consistent address, migrating between shelters and friends’ couches, could sidestep standard residency requirements and remain at one school despite their transient lives. But for a growing number of Seattle athletes, the intent behind the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act has been turned upside down….

The “Little Giants” squad taught me that teamwork makes the dream work! It’s summertime, which means kids are out of school, the ice cream truck is constantly chugging around the block, and you may accidentally ingest a bottle’s worth of sunblock by September. One of my favorite things to do during the summer (aside from going to the beach) is watching my nephews, who are really into baseball and soccer,…

Malcolm Jenkins doesn’t run your typical summer camp. For the second year, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation teamed up with Drexel University’s ExCITe Center to host elementary and middle school students from the Philadelphia Promise Zone to provide them with the ability to learn using the S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts, athletics, and math) method. After a successful one-week pilot program in 2016, the Young Dragons Summer S.T.E.A.M. day camp was…

Tim Fedewa’s dropped sandwich led NASCAR to revoke the Kevin Harvick spotter’s credentials during practice for tomorrow’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. NBCSN caught Fedewa asking the team to send someone else up to the spotter’s stand after the incident, which took place this morning at IMS. Harvick’s car is sponsored by a brand whose sandwiches ought to be hurled from rooftops or simply thrown in the garbage, so we’re surprised…

Dan Marshall set out to make a game based off a single tweet, where he admitted to having very little knowledge of how soccer is played and, frankly, not caring to learn. The result of that exercise is Behold The Kickmen (on Steam for $4), an irreverent caricature of soccer that somehow makes the full loop around to being one of the most accidentally excellent takes on the virtual pitch. It’s…

Great Britain won a combined 33 medals across the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics British Cycling will retain £43m in public funding after its national council approved governance reforms in an extraordinary general meeting. A 75% majority was required to pass the changes, demanded by sports minister Tracey Crouch to make governing bodies more independent and diverse. As part of the deal, a board place will be created for the…

A week ago, I wrote about how both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros are in rare historical company this season. According to FiveThirtyEight’s Elo power ratings — which measure a team’s strength at any moment — each is playing roughly as well as the fabled 1927 Yankees played. But this season’s top-heaviness extends well beyond just the Astros and Dodgers. Each member of MLB’s ruling class this season…

Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment Saturdays usually bring us plenty of afternoon baseball. That’s not the case this Saturday, though, as only two of the day’s 15 games feature an afternoon start time. It’s not a day filled with an overwhelming number of aces, either. Then again, fewer aces means more mid- and lower-level hurlers who will help us out on the hitting side, and that’s certainly…

Composite of still photos from YouTube. Anthony Scaramucci, hours after formally accepting a position as President Trump’s new director of communications, offered a fairly unique assessment of why he’s confident in Trump’s ability to get things done: He’s clutch at sports. “He’s the most competitive person I’ve ever met,” Scaramucci said. “Okay? I’ve seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire. I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden…

RELATED: Full schedule for Indianapolis A new on-track schedule debuts this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, designed to streamline the preparations and preliminaries for Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams. The adjustments, however, have meant no shortage in interactive activities, putting the sport’s stars front and center with their fans. NASCAR’s faithful came out in bunches Friday, braving the summer heat for a new Fan Fest celebration ahead of Sunday’s Brantley…

Brent Dewar’s Twitter biography leads with his heart: “Car guy.” How he got there is the story of life-altering exposure to speed from his childhood, what started as a proving ground for the future President of NASCAR. His father was a high school principal — a great man, Dewar says, “but probably the biggest non-car guy you would ever meet.” As a boy growing up in western Canada, nearby circle-track…

Astros rookie Yuli Gurriel had a career-high four hits, including a home run, and Houston received a gritty pitching performance from Mike Fiers in an 8-7 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Colin Moran hit his first major league homer and first triple for Houston, and Brian McCann also went deep. The Astros took an 8-2 lead into the ninth before Adam Jones hit a two-run double off…

America has spoken, and the New York Yankees are the country’s most-hated baseball team. It’s no surprise that one of the most successful sports franchises in the world with 18 division titles, 40 American League pennants and 27 World Series championships — all Major League Baseball records — continues to be disliked by baseball fans. FiveThirtyEight conducted a survey asking 989 self-described baseball fans from June 30 to July 8…

After three days of competing at VTV Baseball Complex in Castaic, 18 players were selected Friday for the 2017 12U National Team, and two of them hail from the Santa Clarita Valley. Kai Caranto of Santa Clarita and Gregory Pierantoni of Valencia were among those chosen from 36 candidates for Team USA, which will play in the U-12 Baseball World Cup in Taiwan later this…
