LOUIS ORR, former Syracuse University basketball legend, has died at 64. Growing up in Syracuse, I loved and steadfastly supported/suffered as a Syracuse University (SU) Orange basketball fanatic! And "Louie & Bouie" Louie Orr & Roosevelt Bouie fueled that passion and led SU to national prominence!
I remember hitchhiking to Skytop Park Courts (near Manley Field House) & Onondaga Park Courts (Southside Syracuse) as a high schooler and experienced the rare thrill of playing pick up games against "Louie & Bouie". Louis Orr was my childhood basketball idol and his passing has brought back so many high school memories of why & how vicariously I lived for SU basketball, feelings that I had long since forgotten since SU move into the ACC. Oh, how I wish SU had remained in the Big East. RIP Louis Orr.. ...

2022 FIFA World Cup Soccer
Has anyone considered the historical geo-political matchup dynamics of this World Cup?
US vs. Iran, US vs. England, France vs. England. Morocco becoming the 1st ever African & Islamic majority nation to reach semi-finals by beating neighboring Spain & Portugal and now will play France (as a former French colony)? Not to mention the questionable choice of host nation, Qatar!
Just my perspective that I believe competition & sportsmanship can overcoming nationalistic anger/conflict, reinforcing that athletic competitions can create nationalistic joy, build bridges & connecting humankind. Thoughts? ...
