NEW: A federal bill would ban private equity firms from investing in youth sports, specifically targeting "vulture practices" like consolidation, bundling and stay-to-play.
In announcing the bill, lawmakers repeatedly called out Black Bear Sports Group. https://t.co/YPguPQt9ch

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Great article on the NRL contact training changes from 2 of the best in concussion research Dr Alan Pearce & Dr Stephen Townsend:

@randomusrrhaaa@justnictings Mate you’re fighting ghosts. No one is saying extra games are good. It’s simple, less sub-concussive blows = less stress on the brain. If they reduced the number of games it would also be a great move. That doesn’t make this move any less good
NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo has joined chairman Peter V’landys in declining to rule out the ARL Commission engaging directly with Super League clubs if a central vote goes against them.

Remember those giddy days oil P&D's?
I just noticed it was on 4-20 that pretty well sums up the whacky day
Where these budding oil traders that day?
Andrew Abdo: “What we’re putting forward is definitely a model where there’s a change. Similar to the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC), where you have independent directors thinking about the long-term decisions of the game, that is something we would absolutely be putting forward in terms of changes here if we were going to invest and drive, hopefully, positive growth.”

Pendant ce temps en Nouvelle-Zélande, les NZ Warriors remplissent le Sky Stadium (34 500 places) pour un match de NRL quand les Hurricanes, bien qu’extrêmement intéressants sur le terrain, ne vendent que 13 000 billets face aux Blues la semaine dernière.
C’est vraiment à se poser la question du futur du rugby quand on sait que ce sont les Océaniens qui dirigent le rugby à XV mondial actuellement, à savoir Brett Robinson, président australien de World Rugby, et le Kiwi Mark Robinson nommé "Chef du Rugby" à la fédération international alors qu’il présente un bilan médiocre comme directeur général de la fédération néo-zélandaise.
