THEIR VIEW
Americans are
microchipped in
land of the free
Just a short time ago, some of us born in the
land of the free and the home of the brave were
horrified by a sci-fi nightmare that we were told
would never, ever happen:
That someday, Americans would
John
eagerly
allow their wise corporate
Kass
masters
— and eventually their
Contributing
government
overlords — to install
columnist
computer microchips in their bodies
to “help” them.
That future is now at a vending machine development company in Wisconsin.
The company, Three Square Market, will soon
hold a “chipping party” for loyal employees who
volunteer to have a chip inserted into their hands.
Most great ideas begin with a party. I’m hoping
the chip party in Wisconsin features cheese. Many
mammals like cheese, including humans.
“Eventually, this technology will become standardized, allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities,
etc.,” chief executive Todd Westby said in a statement.
Please don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not upset
about this. I’m not at all upset at all.
In fact, I’m overjoyed.
Yes, I admit that I was once sickened by the
notion of Americans wanting to be chipped, just
as many Americans were once sickened by slavery.
But chipping isn’t exactly slavery, per se, is it?
It’s voluntary.
My former opposition to human cyborgs linked
to computer networks was most likely the residue
of old, now thoroughly discredited ideas.
Ideas like “the primacy of the individual” and
“freedom” and “liberty” and other socially awkward concepts generated in a now mostly forgotten place once broadly called the “West.”
But those idiotic notions will soon be gone.
Pundits and broadcast news executives — and
Hollywood movies and TV shows — take great
liberties with the lash, whipping away those subversive ideas born long ago.
America is changing. We’re quickly abandoning old fuddy-duddy notions, and becoming New
Americans who don’t mind being herded into
doing what’s best for us and our countrypersons.
So I’m on board. I’m pro-chip.
Why? For one thing, I don’t want to be shamed
as a “science denier” and be mocked by liberals
who once thought me “different.” Now that I’ve
bent the knee, and am publicly pro-chip, will I be
invited to lunch?
The benefits of chipping Americans are simply
endless.
What corporate or political leader wouldn’t
want a happy, chipped workforce and happily
chipped citizens, so proletariats might be more
productive in their daily lives?
If Americans are all implanted with chips, we
could control immigration, we could vote more
easily, even in the primaries, and our wise masters
would know how we voted.
If Americans became chippers, we’d pay our
taxes more efficiently. We might even receive
much social praise and tax credits too, for allowing independent experts to check our bio-rhythms
against what we read online to measure our reactions to subversive ideas.
Chipping will eventually become the standard,
with Republicans and Democrats joining to offer
tax incentives to businesses to chip their employers.
And, as workers clamor to be chipped to save
their jobs, the federal government will expand the
service, and soon we’ll all be joined, together, in
harmony, with help from the U.S. Department of
Chipping.
According to the Wisconsin company, the chips
inserted in their workers will help them open
security doors, store personal medical information, log into their computers and more easily
purchase snacks.
Who doesn’t want to easily purchase a snack of
tasty vending machine cheese?
What’s even nicer, it’s been promised that
employers would never use the chips to track
workers.
Cynics might infer that once the federal government gets involved — first with passport chips to
protect against terrorism — that some politicos
might use the technology to nefarious advantage.
But who’d ever dare do that?
“I wouldn’t mind if I were chipped,” said a lawyer I know. “I’ve already got a phone. And I’ve got
nothing to hide.”
That nothing-to-hide business is certainly a
powerful argument indeed, especially in this modern age where our federal agencies can read our
thoughts as we type them, and Americans nervously self-censor troublesome concepts.
The Fourth Amendment? What’s that in comparison to being a part of a team? Not that I’d
ever complain about the wise masters chipping
me. I too, have nothing to hide. Please don’t hurt
me.

THEIR VIEW
Fix nation’s health care from the middle
The following editorial
appeared in Newsday on
Tuesday, Aug. 1:
Any health care plan
that satisfies only one
of our major political
parties is never going
to satisfy enough of our
nation’s people.
Democrats proved
this with the Affordable
Care Act. The party
passed the plan without
a Republican vote in the
House or the Senate,
and seven years later
it’s clear that the law
largely cost Democrats
control of both chambers
of Congress. Now it’s
Republicans’ turn to call
the plays and to leave
Democrats out of the
huddle. But even while
holding majorities smaller than the Democrats
had in 2009, and with
less-than-unanimous support in its own fold, the
GOP has been unable to
pass health care reform.
The party has, though,
managed to craft its own
deeply unpopular legislation.
It’s time to understand
history, rather than doom
ourselves to repeat it. It’s
time the parties worked
together to craft a plan
that can satisfy more
Americans and, more
important, provide for
their needs.
And maybe this is the
beginning. In his inspiring return to the Senate
floor last week, cancerstricken GOP Sen. John
McCain, known for his
bipartisanship, said each
side “must give a little
to get a little.” Then he
personally drove the last
nail into the coffin of the
GOP’s current plan.
On Monday, a collection of 44 House
members called the
Problem Solvers Caucus,
half Democrats and half
Republicans, released its
own starting point for a
plan. It includes stabilizing the individual insurance market, repealing
the 2.3 percent tax on
medical devices, moving the mandated size at
which companies must
provide insurance from
50 workers to 500 and
creating groups of states
in which insurance could
be sold across state lines.
Other groups are also
working on consensus
ideas, from making pre-
miums for people who
buy their own coverage
tax deductible to letting
states have more options.
Rep. Thomas Suozzi, the
New York Democrat who
is vice chairman of the
Problem Solvers, said,
“What’s more important
than the specific proposals is that we’re working
together, because that’s
what people want. This
is serious stuff. People
are scared.”
Americans are caught
in the middle of GOP
extremists who claim
they can improve care
by taking away people’s
coverage and Democrats
who demand single-payer
universal coverage. It’s
going to take a solution
from the middle to set
the nation free.

with killing a black man “executed” him after a car chase, then
planted a gun in the slain drug
suspect’s vehicle as an excuse for
opening fire, a prosecutor told a

convicted in such deaths.
A key issue in the trial is the
unloaded .38-caliber revolver that
another officer later found inside
Smith’s rented Buick. Three
cartridges were next to the gun.
Stockley has said he unloaded
the weapon as a safety precaution
after shooting Smith.
Assistant Circuit Attorney
Aaron Levinson said Stockley
shot Smith five times, including
once while standing 6 inches from
him, which Levinson called the
“kill shot.” He said Stockley then
returned to the Buick multiple

With no cupcakes early, OSU rushes to get ready
G-Jun Yam | AP
After five seasons in Columbus, Urban Meyer has won a third national
championship (to go along with two from Florida), a conference title and two
division titles. For 2017 Ohio State is favored to take the Big Ten title and
compete for another national title.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer
said opening the season on the
road against a Big Ten opponent brings another level of
urgency to preseason practice.
Usually there are lesser opponents scheduled for the first
couple of games, which Meyer
said gives the team a chance to
work out the bugs. This season,
the Buckeyes open on Aug. 31
against Indiana at Bloomington, then come back for the
home opener nine days later
against Oklahoma.
“We are not playing preseason games,” Meyer said
Monday, referring to the usual
early home games against outmanned opponents. “We are in
the Big Ten conference, Game
One. So sometimes I’ll count
those games as a chance to
get guys ready. We don’t have
that luxury this year. This year,
you’re in it.”
Along with the NCAA rule
changes that eliminated twoa-day practices, adjustments
had to be made to the practice
schedule to get the team ready
to go. Teams were allowed to
start practicing earlier this year
to get as close as possible to
the 29 sessions allowed. Ohio
State has 28 scheduled before
the opener.
Preseason camp opened last
week, and the players put on
the pads for the first time on
Thursday. After a scrimmage
Saturday, coaches will get serious about building their depth
charts, Meyer said.
“It’s all culture at this point,”
he said. “That’s that whole
thing, the go hard. Because
there are going to plenty of
mistakes. The player that
(when) something good does
not happen and they revert
back to the fundamentals and
all the training they’ve been
through, those are the guys
that play. That’s what I look for
now.”
Ohio State was eager to get
started after how the season
ended last year, a 31-0 pasting at the hands of eventual
national champion Clemson in
the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s
Eve.
“I don’t think I feel a negative
vibe,” said Kevin Wilson, the
former Indiana coach hired as
offensive coordinator to help
shore up the Buckeyes’ passing game. “But I did feel from

Darvish, Gray dealt on busy trade deadline day
By Ben Walker
Associated Press
Yu Darvish and Sonny
Gray headed a parade of
prized arms on the move
Monday, leaving little
doubt on trade deadline
day: Top teams made a
big pitch for the playoffs.
All-Star Brandon
Kintzler, Addison Reed
and Justin Wilson were
among the many relievers swapped before the
cutoff. There were 14
deals involving major
leaguers — all six division leaders got someone new.
“We’re trying to go
from good to great,”
New York Yankees
general manager Brian
Cashman said.
The Yankees bolstered
their rotation by getting
Gray from Oakland for
three minor leaguers.
That swap came a day
after the AL East leaders
acquired starter Jaime
Garcia from Minnesota.
The Los Angeles
Dodgers, owners of the
best record in the majors
and the top payroll, gave
up three minor leaguers
for Darvish. The Texas
ace will join three-time
Cy Young Award winner
Clayton Kershaw, cur-
rently on the disabled
list, as the Dodgers
try to reach the World
Series for the first time
since their 1988 title.
“We’re not going to
be lining up our playoff rotation quite yet,”
general manager Farhan
Zaidi said.
Los Angeles also
added relievers Tony
Watson from Pittsburgh
and Tony Cingrani from
Cincinnati.
A few stars mentioned
in trade speculation
stayed put — Orioles
closer Zach Britton,
Detroit starter Justin
Verlander and San Diego
reliever Brad Hand,
among them.
“We just didn’t line up
at this time,” Padres GM
A.J. Preller said, adding
there was “no rush” to
make a move right now.
Teams had until 4 p.m.
EDT to make trades
without waivers. For the
rest of the season, players can be dealt only if
every other club passes
on a chance to claim
them.
A year after the
champion Chicago Cubs
and Cleveland used
deep bullpens to reach
the World Series, several teams boosted their
relief corps. As did the
Cubs and Indians.
Chicago got Wilson, a
valuable lefty, along with
backup catcher Alex
Avila from Detroit. Avila
was traded away by his
dad, Tigers general manager Al Avila.
“Obviously you
think, well, he’s your
son so you probably
feel even worse. Not
really. Nobody likes to
go through trades,” the
Detroit GM said.
“Actually, the person
that’s going to be really
worse off, it’s not so
much my wife, it’s my
mom — Alex’s grandmother. She’s the one
that might be the most
angry,” he said.
Joe Smith, who
relieved for Cleveland
from 2009-13, was sent
from Toronto to the
Indians.
“A lot of fans of Smitty
in this organization, so
getting him back will be
a lot of fun,” Cleveland
manager Terry Francona
said.
NL East-leading
Washington got Kintzler
from Minnesota — the
Nationals recently
acquired relievers Ryan
Madson and Sean Doolittle from Oakland.
The Houston Astros,
already running away
with the AL West,
plucked lefty Francisco
Liriano from Toronto.
He’ll help patch a rotation that’s deal with injuries to Dallas Keuchel,
Lance McCullers and
Collin McHugh this year.
The contending
Boston Red Sox added
Reed, who had been
serving as the New York
Mets’ closer. Reed is 1-2
with a 2.57 ERA and 19
saves in 21 chances, and
he joins a bullpen that
includes dominant closer
Craig Kimbrel.
Like a lot of other
executives, Red Sox
president of baseball
operations Dave Dombrowski was on the
prowl for pitching.
“We liked a lot of the
guys. We were inquiring
about a lot of the guys,”
he said at Fenway Park,
adding, “My list is long.”
How long?
Dombrowski reached
into the left pocket of
his suit jacket and pulled
out an 8x11-inch piece of
paper. He then counted
— by ones — “20 righthanded relievers that
were on our list at one
time or another, and a
lot of lefties, too.”

Woman says she had
teen relationship
with Pete Rose
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A woman said she had
a sexual relationship with Pete Rose in the 1970s,
starting when she was 14 or 15 years old, according to her sworn testimony submitted to a court
Monday.
The testimony was presented by the defense as
part of a federal lawsuit Rose filed last year in Philadelphia against a lawyer whose investigation got
baseball’s all-time hits leader kicked out of Major
League Baseball for gambling.
Rose contends John Dowd defamed him in 2015
by saying on the radio that the former baseball
great had raped young teen girls during spring
training. Rose, 76, has acknowledged having a relationship with the woman beginning when she was
16, the age of consent in Ohio.
Rose’s lawyer Ray Genco said the woman’s claims
are unverified.
“At this point it’s just a big distraction,” Genco
said. “It tips me off that (Dowd) really can’t defend
himself.”
The attorney also accused Dowd of dragging
“Pete’s name through the mud.”
Rose alleges in the lawsuit that Dowd damaged
his reputation and endorsement deals during a July
2015 interview on WCHE-AM radio in West Chester.
Dowd investigated Rose in 1989 for gambling
on the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team,
a violation of baseball’s rules. Rose accepted a lifetime ban, and the Hall of Fame decided in 1991 that
anyone on the permanently ineligible list could not
appear on a Hall ballot.
Dowd said during the radio appearance that Rose
associate Michael Bertolini told investigators he
“ran young girls” to Rose during spring training,
which Dowd called “statutory rape every time,”
according to Rose’s lawsuit. Bertolini’s lawyers
have denied that.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe in Monday’s
filing, said Rose called her in 1973, when she was
14 or 15, and they began a sexual relationship in
Cincinnati that lasted several years. She also alleges
Rose met her in locations outside Ohio for sex.
Rose acknowledged in a statement accompanying
Monday’s filing that he did have a relationship with
the woman, but he said it started when she was 16.
He also states they never had sex outside Ohio.
At the time, Rose was in his mid-30s and was
married with two kids.
Dowd’s lawyer David Tobin said he couldn’t comment on the latest filing.
Rose, who lives in Las Vegas, had applied for
reinstatement to the game in 2015. Not long after,
Dowd was asked on WCHE-AM whether he found
Rose to be a likable person.

when chaos was going
around them, you could

he’s turned into being a

Meyer said he expects
senior tackle Jamarco

leaders on an offensive

time last year in passing

Jones kept his cool

Injury report
Meyer said running
back Mike Weber has
been limited in practice
because of a tight hamstring. Weber rushed for
more than a 1,000 yards
as a freshman last season
and is expected to again
be the starter.
“We’re just being cautious this early out,”
Meyer said, “So he’s practiced a little bit (Monday). He’s on the mend.”

Associated Press
Give us action, and
make it fast. The lords
of sports know how
Americans like their
games.
To keep fans engaged
— in the stands or on
TV or mobile devices
— the NFL, NBA and
Major League Baseball
have taken steps to
shorten games. Now it’s
college football’s turn.
Last week, the Pac12 announced a trial
in which some nonconference games on its
network this season
will feature shorter halftimes — from 20 to 15
minutes — and fewer
commercials. The MidAmerican Conference
also is picking up the
pace, and ESPN said
it would place greater
emphasis on getting in
and out of commercials
on time and adhering
strictly to 20-minute
halftimes on games it
televises.
All this comes after
the average game length
in the Bowl Subdivision
increased to a record
3 hours, 24 minutes in
2016.
Professional and college sports and their
TV partners are wise
to watch the clock,
University of NebraskaOmaha sociologist Dan
Hawkins said.
“Outside of big cultural events like the latest
‘Game of Thrones’ episode, we seem to have
passed a tipping point
where most people are
satisfied consuming
media on demand at
their own convenience
and in relative isolation,” Hawkins said.
“But there is a strong
social aspect to watching sport — interaction
with fellow fans, the
immediate and unpredictable nature of sport,
the fear of spoilers from
social media or other
sources — that still
make sporting events
Danny Moloshok | AP
Southern California fans sleep at the end of an NCAA college football game against Arkansas
State on Sept. 15, 2015, in Los Angeles. To keep fans in the stands and those watching on TV or
mobile devices engaged, the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball have taken steps to shorten
games. Now it’s college football’s turn.
best consumed in the
moment. Clearly, sports
leagues are afraid of
losing this advantage
if the product becomes
boring for enough fans,
and they’re now finally
reacting to that.”
The NBA this month
unanimously approved
several changes, with
the intent of speeding the final minutes
of games. In college
basketball, the NCAA
experimented with a
couple of time-saving
measures in the NIT.
Professional baseball
uses a 20-second pitch
clock in the minor
leagues, and Major
League Baseball now
allows intentional walks
to be signaled without
throwing pitches.
The NFL, with an
average game length of
about 3:09 last season,
this year is reducing the
number of commercial
breaks per quarter and
is changing the protocol for handling video
reviews.
Longer college football games can be attributed to an increase in
scoring, offenses that
favor the pass over the
run and the introduction of video review a
decade ago.
Last year, average
points-per-team hit 30
points for the first time.
The game clock stops
for point-after touchdown kicks and 2-point
tries, and a TV commercial often comes before
the ensuing kickoff.
Per-team pass
attempts reached 30 for
the first time in 1999
and have been under
that mark only one season since. Incomplete
passes stop the clock.
Four of the five teams
with the longest games
were in the Big 12,
where huge offensive
numbers are common.
Texas Tech averaged
an FBS-high 54.4 pass
attempts, and the Red
Raiders scored and
allowed more than 43
points a game. No surprise, they played the
longest games in the
country at an average of
3:48.
MAC Commissioner
Jon Steinbrecher said
his goal is to shorten
his league’s games from
last year’s average of
3:25 to 3:20. There is a
directive for the secondhalf kickoff to happen
right after the halftime
clock strikes zero,
and officials are being
instructed to set the ball
quicker after each play.
Some stadiums will
experiment with TV
timeout clocks so fans
will know how much
time remains until the
ball is in play after a
media break.
Nick Dawson, ESPN’s
vice president of programming and acquisitions, said game length
probably is more of a
concern to conference
and school administrators than to TV people
because the schools are
worried about keeping
stadiums full.
Reducing the number of ads run through
a game is unlikely
because of the giant
rights fees the networks
pay for the games, but
Dawson said there are
ways to tighten telecasts.
“Over the years you
tend to get into sort of a
rhythm of a commercial
break being 2 ½ minutes, but you might ask
for a little extra time
on the back end to do
a certain content piece
or graphic or something
like that,” he said. “In
the moment it doesn’t
seem like much. You
start to add that up 10,
11, 12 times a game
at 30 seconds a pop,
it starts to materialize
into a real amount of
time.”

Johnson receiving
increased role in
Browns’ offense
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Undersized running
back Duke Johnson has never backed down from a
challenge.
That mindset is serving him well in his third
training camp with the Browns.
Johnson, who has 114 receptions for 1,048
yards in two NFL seasons, is the top candidate to
serve as Cleveland’s slot receiver.
Browns coach Hue Jackson believes the 5-foot9 speedster can be a dual threat catching passes
over the middle, as well as out of the backfield.
“If coach says, ‘Go,’ I go,” Johnson said Monday following the team’s walkthrough practice.
“I asked for more opportunities and they’ve been
given, so now I have to make the best of them.
That’s my job to do it.”
Cleveland envisioned Johnson as a featured back
when it picked him in the third round of the 2015
draft. He rushed for a school-record 3,519 yards at
Miami (Fla.) after being the consensus No. 1 prep
prospect at the position.
Isaiah Crowell, however, established himself as
the starter, making Johnson the change-of-pace
back. He has been limited to 291 total offensive
touches and 737 rushing yards.
Jackson plans on increasing the former figure by
using Johnson in the slot, which had been Andrew
Hawkins’ role before his February release.
“Duke is going to do everything, honestly,” Jackson said. “He is a weapon for us, and we’ll line
him up in different places where we can get an
advantage with him. He has to bounce around to a
lot of different (position) rooms. That’s why I said
we ask a lot of him, but he has responded well.”
Johnson admitted being frustrated at times last
season — he also returned 17 punts for a modest 6.6-yard average — but saw things differently
after watching game films. He spent the spring
analyzing every play from the Browns’ franchiseworst 1-15 season.
“I saw that I didn’t make enough plays for the
team, just not being mentally ready,” said Johnson, who has one lost fumble in 32 games. “I kind
of knew what (the defense) was going to do, but I
didn’t do enough when it came to game-planning
for myself.
“This year, I want to be more productive, and I
believe I will be, granted that I just continue to do
what I am asked from the coaches.”
Jackson has been pleased with the early results,
expressing optimism that the quick-witted Johnson can handle whatever responsibilities he is
given.
“He is doing sensationally,” Jackson said. “Duke
is a terrific football player. Glad he is a part of our
organization and team. He is very valuable to what
we do. Hopefully, we can give him a chance to be
what he can be.”
NOTES: Jackson said he will use the Browns’
intrasquad scrimmage Friday to determine the
quarterback depth chart entering the preseason.
Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and rookie DeShone
Kizer have been taking practice snaps, in order,
during camp. “It is Day 5 into this situation, and
we’re going to just keep working,” Jackson said. “I
want to go through the scrimmage and see where
we are from there.” … Tight end David Njoku,
who was the No. 29 overall selection from Miami
(Fla.), caught a touchdown and dropped another
potential score during a goal-line drill. … Defensive lineman Caleb Brantley — a sixth-round pick
from Florida — will miss two weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger.
Grand jury declines
rape charges against
Raiders’ Conley
CLEVELAND (AP) — A grand jury in Cleveland has decided not to charge Oakland Raiders
rookie Gareon Conley with any crimes after a rape
investigation.
Spokesman Ryan Miday of the Cuyahoga
County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement
Monday that the grand jury declined all possible
charges for Conley after being presented the facts
and circumstances surrounding the sexual assault
allegations.
“I’m excited for him,” Raiders general manager
Reggie McKenzie said from training camp in
Napa, California. “It’s tough on a young man like
that to go through this. I’m excited for Gareon and
the Raiders for the process to work. We’re excited
and now we can move forward.”
Conley is a defensive back who starred at Ohio
State. He was accused by a 23-year-old woman of
sexually assaulting her in a Cleveland hotel room
April 9. Conley’s attorney says the sex was consensual. Conley has cooperated with the investigation
and said he passed a polygraph test.
Conley signed a four-year contract Friday with
the Raiders, who said they did enough research
before the draft to be comfortable with taking
Conley with the 24th overall pick.
“We just trusted our process really,” McKenzie
said. “We felt going into it with all the information we got it would come out this way. I’m glad it
worked out.”
Conley is currently on the physically unable to
perform list because of a shin splint injury suffered
in June. McKenzie said he could be back on the
field in a few days once he is able to run without
pain.
The Raiders are expecting a big contribution
from Conley to bolster a secondary that struggled
last season and allowed an NFL-worst 61 pass
plays of at least 20 yards.

LA deals for 2028 Olympic Games
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Los Angeles has
reached an agreement
with International Olympic leaders that will open
the way for the city to
host the 2028 Summer
Games, while ceding
the 2024 Games to rival
Paris, officials announced
Monday.
The deal would make
LA a three-time Olympic
city, after hosting the
1932 and 1984 Games.
With the agreement,
the city is taking “a major
step toward bringing the
Games back to our city
for the first time in a
generation,” Mayor Eric
Garcetti said in a statement.
He called it a “historic
day for Los Angeles, for
the United States” and
the Olympic movement.
The agreement follows
a vote earlier this month
by the International
Olympic Committee to
seek an unusual deal to
award the 2024 and 2028
Games simultaneously.
Paris is the only city left
to host the 2024 Games.
The Los Angeles City
Council and U.S. Olympic Committee board of
directors will consider
the agreement in August.
If approved, the IOC, LA
and Paris could enter a
three-part agreement,
clearing the way for the
IOC to award the 2024
Games to Paris, and the
2028 Games to LA. The
IOC vote is scheduled
for September, in Lima,
Peru.
In a statement, the
Paris bid committee
welcomed the announcement in Los Angeles but
stopped short of confirming the obvious, that
Paris is in line for the
2024 Games.
“Paris 2024 is proud to
be working together with
the IOC and our friends
in Los Angeles to reach a
positive solution for both
cities, the Games and the
whole Olympic Movement for 2024 and 2028,”
committee co-chair Tony
Estanguet said.
In embracing what
amounted to the secondplace prize and an 11-year
wait, LA will receive a
financial sweetener.
Under the terms of
the deal, the IOC will
advance funds to the
Los Angeles organizing
committee to recognize
the extended planning
period and to increase
youth sports programs
leading up to the Games.
The IOC contribution
could exceed $2 billion,
according to LA officials.
That figure takes into
account the estimated
value of existing sponsor
agreements that would be
renewed, as well as potential new marketing deals.
The delay to 2028
opens a host of questions
for Los Angeles, which is
looking at the prospect of
retooling its multibilliondollar plans for more than
a decade into the future.
It would face challenges
from maintaining public
interest to recasting deals
for stadiums, arenas and
housing that have been in
the works for months and
even years.
Speaking with reporters at a soccer stadium in
Carson, just outside LA,
Garcetti said the 2028
proposal was the better
of the two, promising to
bring hundreds of millions of dollars in additional benefits.
The deal “was too good
to pass up,” the mayor
said.
He also suggested the
IOC would easily ratify
the 2024-2028 deal in
September.
LA and Paris were the
last two bids remaining after a tumultuous
process that exposed the
unwillingness of cities to
bear the financial burden
of hosting an event that
has become synonymous
with cost overruns.
LA was not even the
first American entrant
in the contest. Boston
withdrew two years ago
as public support for its
bid collapsed over concerns about use of taxpayer cash. The U.S. bid
switched from the east
to the West Coast as LA
entered the race.
But the same apprehensions that spooked
politicians and the local
population in Boston
soon became evident in
Europe where three cities
pulled out.
Uncomfortably for IOC
President Thomas Bach,
whose much-vaunted
Agenda 2020 reforms
were designed to make
hosting more streamlined
and less costly after the
lavish 2014 Sochi Games,
the first withdrawal came
from his homeland of
Germany.
The lack of political
unity for a bid in Hamburg was mirrored in
Rome and Budapest as
support for bids waned
among local authorities
and the population. It was
clear they did not want to
be saddled with skyrocketing bills for hosting the
Olympics without reaping
many of the economic
benefits anticipated.
Just like in the depleted
field for the 2022 Winter
Games which saw Beijing
defeat Almaty, the IOC
was left with only two
candidates again.
With two powerful cities left vying for 2024,
Bach realized France or
the U.S. could be deterred
from going through
another contest for 2028
if they lost. Bach floated
the idea in December
of making revisions to
the bidding process to
prevent it producing “too
many losers,” building
support that led to LA
and Paris being able to
figure out themselves
how to share the 2024
and 2028 Games.
The dual award of the
games relieves the IOC of
having to test the global
interest in hosting the
Summer Olympics for
several years until the
2032 Games are up for
grabs.

West Virginia prep coach
accused of soliciting resigns
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia
high school football coach who led his team to three
state championships has resigned after being charged
in a solicitation case.
Media outlets report 34-year-old Bridgeport High
coach Josh Nicewarner submitted a resignation letter
to the Harrison County Board of Education.
Harrison County Schools Superintendent Mark
Manchin says Nicewarner resigned both his coaching
position and as a teacher at Liberty High School.
Nicewarner is charged with two felonies — soliciting a minor by computer and use of obscene matter
with intent to seduce a minor.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Lt. Detective Rob Waybright has said Nicewarner allegedly sent a lewd
video to a teenage girl and asked her to send inappropriate photos of herself.
Nicewarner coached Bridgeport to Class AA football championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Ex-Marshall athlete pleads in
attack on men he saw kissing
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — A former Marshall
University football player pleaded guilty Monday to
two battery charges in an attack on two men he saw
kissing.
Steward Butler entered the plea to the misdemeanors in Cabell County Circuit Court. His trial was
scheduled to start Tuesday.
Sentencing is set for Sept. 25. He faces up to a year
in jail on each count. Media outlets report Butler
admitted Monday to marijuana use, and Circuit Judge
Paul Farrell ordered him to be drug tested weekly.
Butler was accused of punching the men and shouting homophobic slurs after seeing them kissing outdoors in Huntington in April 2015.
In May, the West Virginia Supreme Court upheld
the dismissal of felony civil rights charges against
Butler. Farrell ruled last year that Butler could not be
charged with a hate crime because it appeared that
state lawmakers intended to leave protections based
on sexual orientation out of the law.
The Supreme Court found that the definition of
the word “sex” in the state’s hate crime statute was
“unambiguous.” The justices said the statute does not
address sexual orientation and that lawmakers have
rejected every attempt to include sexual orientation
since the law was enacted three decades ago.
The high court said there have been at least 26
failed attempts to amend the statute to include sexual
orientation.
Butler was a running back at Marshall from 2012
to 2014. His best season was in 2014 when he ran for
798 yards and scored seven touchdowns.
Giants sign placekicker Mike
Nugent to challenge Rosas
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York
Giants have signed veteran Mike Nugent to challenge
rookie Aldrick Rosas for their placekicking job.
The 35-year-old Nugent played the past seven seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He made 23 of 29
on both his field goal and extra point attempts before
being released on Dec. 13.
Rosas has never played in a regular-season game.
His only NFL field goal attempt came in a preseason
game with Tennessee last summer.
Josh Brown and Robbie Gould kicked for the Giants
last season, with Gould taking over after Brown was
released because of domestic violence problems.
Gould signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a free
agent in the offseason.
Nugent also has played for the Jets, Tampa Bay and
Arizona. He has made 236 of 292 field goal attempts
and 344 of 355 extra points, scoring more than 100
points in a season six times.
NASCAR sets restrictions on
low-tier races for Cup drivers
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR has
tightened the restrictions for 2018 on Cup drivers
who want to drive in lower-tier race series.
Drivers with more than five years of full-time experience who race for points in the Cup series will be
limited to a maximum of seven Xfinity Series races
and five races in the Truck Series.
The Cup drivers will be ineligible to compete in the
regular-season finale and playoff races in each series,
as well as the Dash 4 Cash races in the Xfinity Series.
It’s a change from the rules put in place for this
season that limited Cup drivers with five years of fulltime experience to 10 Xfinity races and seven Truck
races.
Jets rookie Adams says
field ‘perfect place to die’
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets
rookie safety Jamal Adams says during a forum with
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and season-ticket
holders that if he had his choice, the football field is
“the perfect place to die.”
Fans were able to ask questions Monday during
the session, which also included Jets running back
Matt Forte. One brought up player health and safety,
coming off the largest update on chronic traumatic
encephalopathy so far. Boston University and VA
researchers reported in the Journal of the American
Medical Association last week that they found signs
of the disease in nearly 90 percent of the 200 brains
examined, including 110 of 111 from NFL players.
Adams, the Jets’ first-round pick from LSU, says
he understands the focus on safety, but would “be
at peace” if he died on the field over anywhere else
because of the sacrifice he and other players make to
play the game.
Many of the approximately 150 fans in attendance
applauded Adams’ comments.
