Lexi Thompson’s PGA Tour debut comes with a chance at history and to pierce through golf’s sexism

Some MLB owners are ready to pick a fight with other MLB owners that they’ll take out on the players and fans

The Harlem Globetrotters want an NBA franchise ‘right now’
The NBA is thinking about expanding. The likely destinations? Seattle and Las Vegas. Both make sense for a myriad of reasons.
