The problem of sexual abuse in youth sports is more like a DNA marker than an acknowledged crisis.

The latest blip confirming long-proposed reforms held in a permanent holding pattern was the April sacking of Ju’Riese Colón , CEO of the U.S. Center for SafeSport .

The commission urged Congress to gut the 1978 Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act .

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is well-versed in grandstanding without follow-through.

He got elected to the Senate in 2010 over Linda McMahon , the erstwhile CEO of WWE , the pro wrestling company.

McMahon has refused to go away; under Trump 2.0 she is what passes for secretary of education.
