Newly-elected IOC chief Kirsty Coventry comes with some baggage despite being Thomas Bach's preferred successor. The former Zimbabwean minister of sport must tackle key issues in the coming months. #SportsAndPolitics #PoliticalGeography #SportsGeography bbc.com/sport/olympics/artic…
Your friendly reminder that sports is NEVER apolitical. #SportsGeography espn.com/college-sports/stor…
You had to know this was coming with nationwide conferences. I don't expect anyone to care or advocate for more geographically compact leagues, but this is interesting research. #SportsGeography #ClimateGeography

It's maddening to see that Georgia is still one of the least friendly states to craft breweries. #BeerGeography

It's clear that changes in #NCAAHockey are going to affect junior hockey in the U.S. and Canada. #SportsGeography

UFL expansion will be interesting, especially looking at what markets are considered. However, pieces that list a city population and not the MSA population clearly don't understand the process. #SportsGeography

Leagues and teams often play neutral-site games with no intention of expanding to that market, but #PWHL is probably taking a different route as a still very young league. #SportsGeography

For my Nebraska friends, here is a great thread that recaps the key state-level results from last night.
Start your morning catching up on all the Nebraska election news you might have missed, starting with a stunner on the competing abortion initiatives.

Great piece explaining why corporations sponsor major events on the heels of the @nycmarathon this weekend. #SportsBusiness fortune.com/2024/10/31/new-y…
I bet the State College airport would gladly expand its runway if James Franklin made a donation. #SportsGeography #Realignment

The state of major college sports conferences is beyond ridiculous, but the Pac-12 and MWC battle for the West is the epitome of stupidity. #SportsGeography

Even if you didn't know Everett, we are all a bit worse off because he is no longer with us.

Soccer and sovereignty claims are an interesting intersection of things, but not a shock given Spain's long-term claim on the territory. #SportsGeography

Happy 76th anniversary to the #Paralympics!
Originally begun as a way to engage the many veterans and civilians who were injured during WWII, these games have evolved into a global movement featuring over 4,000 athletes from around the world competing in 549 medal events.
Today the Paralympic Movement turns 76! 🎉
On this day, 29 July 1948, the first ever Stoke Mandeville Games took place.
To our founder, Sir Ludwig Guttmann, thank you for being a pioneer and visionary.
#Paralympics
ALT A photograph of Sir Ludwig Guttmann in front of the Stoke Mandeville Games sign. The sign reads: the aim of the Stoke Mandeville Games is to unite paralysed men and women from all parts of the world in an International sports movement, and your spirit of true sportsmanship today will give hope and inspiration to thousands of paralysed people. No greater contribution can be made to society by the paralysed than to help, through the medium of sport, to further friendship and understanding amongst nations."
There's always an intersection of sports and politics, whether we expect it or not. #SportsGeography
