Yahoo3 days ago
It's safe to say that Matt Rempe is enjoying his summer.
From a player to a counselor, Rempe took some time this offseason to teach kids at the Junior Rangers Summer Camp.
Rempe was mic'd up during the session as he was seen playing hockey with the kids, coaching them, and even practicing his fighting.
The 23-year-old was showing off both his charismatic personality and sense of humor that has made him loved amongst the people of New York.
Since playing his first game with the Rangers in February of 2024, Rempe has become a fan favorite, so it's no surprise that he's out there at Rangers Summer Camp.

Mother of Cincinnati player who died of heart condition wonders if his death was preventable

Cincinnati freshman offensive lineman Jeremiah Kelly died unexpectedly at 18 years old this past April. A coroner's report, according to ESPN, said that Kelly died of "cardiac hypertrophy" - a condition where the muscles in the heart thicken. Kelly's death was the ultimate shock to his mother, Chiniqua, who told ESPN that he was the "healthiest child" and "never had any issues" growing up. Despite receiving "some closure" with the coroner's report, Chiniqua wants her two other sons to see a sports cardiologist. "It just makes you want to be more aware, like if there's something that you can possibly save your child from," she told ESPN. Chiniqua said her son was relaxing at home the day before his death and was even wearing a heart monitor while doing physical activity. A spokesperson for the school told ESPN that Kelly had passed a physical before practicing with the team, which was required by the NCAA - Kelly had been enrolled early at the school and was practicing in the spring. "The Cincinnati football program and athletics department continue to mourn Jeremiah's passing," the team said in a statement. "He is deeply missed by all of us." Kelly was part of the Avon Eagles football team that went 16-0 in 2024 and helped deliver the school's first state championship. Kelly received first-team all-conference and all-district honors and was named SWC lineman of the year as a senior. As a junior, Kelly helped lead the Eagles to a 14-1 record and was teammates with current Cincinnati running back Jakorion Caffey. The Bearcats went 5-7 last season and 3-6 in the Big 12. It was Scott Satterfield's second season as head coach after Luke Fickell left for Wisconsin prior to the 2023 season.

"WNBA Loses $50 Million Every Year And Has Never Generated A Profit. You Deserve $0."- Fans Get Harsh About WNBA Stars' Statement

"WNBA Loses $50 Million Every Year And Has Never Generated A Profit. You Deserve $0."- Fans Get Harsh About WNBA Stars' Statement originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game was supposed to be a celebration, a showcase of athleticism, star power, and the league's growing reach. Instead, it sparked one of the most contentious online debates the league has ever faced. With Caitlin Clark and her fellow All-Stars donning warm-up shirts that read 'Pay us what you owe us,' the statement was meant to highlight the long-standing gender pay disparity in professional basketball. But the reaction from fans online was anything but sympathetic. One viral comment summed up the backlash bluntly: 'The WNBA loses $50 million every year and has NEVER generated a profit. You deserve $0.00.' Harsh, no doubt, but reflective of a large section of the sports-viewing public who feel the WNBA's financial reality doesn't support its stars' demand for better compensation. For context WNBA has never turned a profit in its 28-year history. While pre-2023 annual losses hovered around $10 million, 2024 saw that number balloon to $50 million, even as league revenues grew to over $200 million. It's a bitter truth. The NBA, which owns approximately 60% of the WNBA, has been subsidizing those losses since the league's inception in 1997. The WNBA's operational existence depends on that support. So when a player, even one as impactful as Caitlin Clark, takes a visible stand and demands back pay or a fair share, many fans see it as tone-deaf rather than empowering. Online, some comments crossed the line into vitriol. 'Welfare National Basketball Association,' one user wrote, mocking the league's dependence on NBA funds. Another piled on: 'Paying them nothing is still too much. They should pay the league for the privilege of participating.' While cruel, the remarks reflect a growing frustration over the disconnect between financial sustainability and perceived entitlement. Others tried to offer more nuanced takes. One user wrote, 'They don't deserve $0. DoorDash didn't make a profit for a very long time, and they paid their employees more than zero dollars.' The idea being, you can still invest in a product you believe will eventually grow, even at a loss. Still, the counterpoint is that the WNBA has had nearly three decades, and the losses have only grown. Not everyone at the All-Star Game fully embraced the message either. Kelsey Plum subtly hinted that not all of Team Clark wanted to wear the 'Pay us what you owe us' shirts. That comment sparked its own wave of controversy, especially since Clark is seen as the league's driving marketing force; her presence alone has boosted viewership, jersey sales, and game attendance dramatically. Even with the upcoming $2.2 billion media deal starting in 2026, which will inject ~$200 million a year into the league, the question remains: Can the WNBA reach profitability without massive structural changes? And do players deserve more, or is the financial reality too stark to ignore? One thing is clear, fans aren't just watching games anymore. They're watching the books.

Pete Crow-Armstrong makes young Cubs fan's hair dreams come true following lemonade stand visit

Young Chicago Cubs fan Madden and his friends opened up a lemonade stand in Chicago's Wrigleyville for a simple, creative reason related to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Madden wanted to turn his hair into what the young Cubs star had during spring training: bleach blond with blue stars all over. The youngster already had the blond part down, he and his friends just needed to raise money to pay for the stars addition. Little did the kids know that Justin Turner's wife, Kourtney, had come across their venture and got her husband to encourage Crow-Armstrong to make an appearance. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Crow-Armstrong did stop by this week, as reported by Marquee Network's Taylor McGregor, and not only signed some autographs but also gave Madden enough money to finish the hair job. Armstrong said during spring training when he already had bleach blond hair that his girlfriend Hailey's sister is a tattoo artist and he was convinced to have her add the stars to his head. He's since let his ginger locks grow out, but the blond look really made an impression on Madden. Crow-Armstrong has broken out on and off the field in Chicago this season. A first-time All-Star last week, the 23-year-old is hitting .270 with 26 home runs, 73 RBI and 28 stolen bases through 99 games. If Crow-Armstrong keeps this up, the bleach blond with stars hairdo might become a sensation in Chicago and the Cubs outfielder might have to bring it back for the rest of the season.
