Sir Elton John is more than a sport fan, he’s a sports fund – BBC Sport
In the last few weeks, he has played tennis with Andre Agassi and Martina Navratilova in Las Vegas, led the cheers for F1 champion Lewis Hamilton in Texas and been on the phone to congratulate Watford striker Troy Deeney on his first Premier League goal.

A “Salute to Service” at an Atlanta Falcons game in 2013. Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/ZUMA If you’ve been to a pro sports game recently, you’ve almost certainly seen tributes to the military, from unraveling giant American flags showing to photos and videos of servicemen and women on the Jumbotron.

Pay-to-Praise: Professional Sports Loves Our Veterans (This Is Not a Paid … – Huffington Post
So the sports moguls are getting paid for patriotic events at ballparks like the singing of “God Bless America,” surprise homecomings and “Hometown Heroes” ceremonies? This tells us more about American fakery than we want to know, and the pre-eminent place of professional sports in this era of boundless greed and the death of shame. Good for Senators McCain and Flake for pursuing the truth. It’s helpful when legitimate criticisms…

Fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel trick people into believing … – Quartz
Thanks to the ubiquitous ads by DraftKings and FanDuel, almost everyone knows that you don’t need to be a professional athlete or coach to enjoy firsthand the thrill of elite sports competition. This increasingly popular past-time has also garnered great media attention, however, as many are asking whether fantasy sports equal gambling.

A jury awarded $7.13 million on Wednesday to former Los Angeles Times sports columnist T.J. Simers, who contended the newspaper discriminated against him and forced him out of his $234,000-a-year job after he suffered a mini-stroke in March 2013. The verdict capped a six-week trial that included testimony from Simers, his former bosses at The Times and L.A. Dodgers ex-manager Tommy Lasorda. Simers, 65, sued the newspaper in October 2013,…
