Jenna Dumanski: Huge Kevin Harvick fan, hero at home – Nascar
DOVER, Del. — The hardest decision most 8-year-olds have to make on any given day is how to spend recess. A few years ago Jenna Dumanski faced the choice of whether or not she’d be the one to donate a life-saving bone marrow transplant to her 8-month-old brother, Tommy, who had been diagnosed with a rare hereditary immunodeficiency disease. Jenna knew what she had to do, and didn’t look back….

Typo, not looks blamed for soccer team’s disqualification – 1011now
SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (WOWT) – The Nebraska State Soccer Association is apologizing to an 8-year-old girl who says her team was disqualified from a youth soccer tournament because she looks like a boy.

A truly sexist minor league baseball promotion: ‘Hourglass Appreciation Night’ – Washington Post
The Ogden Raptors want their fans to appreciate the hourglass, and not in a “time is fleeting, enjoy every sandwich” kind of way. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ affiliate recently announced plans for “Hourglass Appreciation Night,” an Aug. 11 promotion that was so misguided that it was quickly deleted from the team’s website. The Internet never forgets, though, and the news release initially lauded the night by praising baseball for being…

A girl with short hair was kicked out of a soccer tournament because she ‘looks like a boy’ – Washington Post
It’s not hard to spot Milagros “Mili” Hernandez on the soccer field — she’s the girl with the short, not-quite-pixie cut and the outsize talent. She’s been playing since she was 5, but the 8-year-old was bumped up to a team full of 11-year-olds after running circles around girls her own age in Omaha. Her biggest concern in life is soccer; she wants to play in high school, then college,…

9 NFL teams that should wear throwback uniforms full-time – FOXSports.com
I’m probably in the minority on this, but Dallas’ uniforms are not great. There are two different grays, two different blues, and neither of them match the other. At home, they wear white jerseys with blueish gray pants, but on the road they wear navy jerseys and silver pants. It’s their traditional uniform set that hasn’t changed in years, but their Thanksgiving throwbacks are so much better. The white…
