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 https://t.co/Q8MFROxVzM

Your friendly reminder that sports is NEVER apolitical. #SportsGeography https://t.co/aNDjYgcdI5

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

@GaStateAlumni Is one way to standout by using ALT text with images on social media?

Land development or lack thereof comes to #MiLB and threatens the future of another team. #SportsGeography #UrbanGeography https://t.co/YJ6YzS2Lpy

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

@TeamPillen Why are we wasting state dollars on this mansion when you don't live there? @SenatorRicketts didn't live their either, but funds went to maintain this place. Sell it off and deliver the property tax benefits you promised!

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.

@gabybori When people are so far removed or unaware of their ancestors and steps they took to assimilate, it's easy to assume an individual MUST adopt ONE identity.

Great piece explaining why corporations sponsor major events on the heels of the @nycmarathon this weekend. #SportsBusiness https://t.co/SbROfPTVjZ

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

@USRepMikeFlood @TeamPillen @SenatorFischer @SenatorRicketts @RepAdrianSmith @RepDonBacon Can you explain why carpetbagging @LindseyGrahamSC was in MY state to collude with MY representatives about this issue?!

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

@gabybori Nebraskans don't really use it either, so whenever I do, people know I'm not originally from here. Granted, I don't care because it's a MUCH better word than the options.
