It’s understandable if names such as skateboarder Sky Brown, Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol or French Open champion Iga Swiatek don’t ring an instant bell. Just wait, though. By the time 2021 ends, they could be making an even bigger name for themselves. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena, File)
For some, the sky’s the limit, which also just happens to be the title of the book written by 12-year-old British skateboarder Sky Brown.
For others, it’s no stretch that big things appear ahead. Exhibit A: 7-foot-2 Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol and his roughly 7-8 wingspan.
So many potential stars in the making. So many stages for them to shine. One of the biggest will be this summer during the Tokyo Games, which were postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
By the time 2021 ends, a new crop of names will start to become even more familiar. So let’s name-drop a few (sorry, Trevor Lawrence, you’re already too big of a name for this list):
the woman s u.s. national soccer team is continuing this ongoing dispute and now the u.s. men s the president of the federation is saying women, it s not true. you are getting paid more than the web tom mcmahon. what is going on the problem is that the man generate more revenue. the winners get $400 million in the woman get about $30 million in prize money, but right now the man came out and they said we pay men more over the last - dachshunds 2002, for the women they have 34 million. they said wait a second. that is part of the pro league, end. the u.s. soccer is financing a pro league for the woman and paying them win or lose with bonus structure. the men don t get that. to me they have to come out with his and hopefully it will be
morning some at pentagon want permission to speak more publicly about the u.s. drone program. the wall street journal says some top defense officials plan to present chuck hagel with a proposal that will let them publicly defend drone strikes. the administration in the past has kept most details secret for fear of giving too much information to potential targets. so, what if terrorists tried to take over a u.s. nuclear missile launch silo? turns out, armed security forces at the 341st missile wing in montana were put through a drill last summer simulating exactly that kind of attack. and as pentagon correspondent barbara starr tells us, it didn t exactly turn out well. reporter: john, christine, it was last summer at an air force nuclear base in montana when a security group, a small team of air force security experts, failed an inspection. it was an exercise, training about what to do if terrorists took over a nuclear missile silo and tried to get to a nuclear weapon on the base
because i find out this news. the united states world cup roster s officially set, but missing from the team is landon donovan. the greatest player in u.s. soccer history. so, what s going on here, joe carter? explain it to me. please justify it because it is unjustifiable. and if you ve heard john berman scream, you know. i ve heard him scream a couple of times, so i do know, as a matter of fact. this really speaks to, guys, the great amount of american soccer talent that s available, the big pool of great soccer players. because when you look at landon donovan, he s played more games, or at least second all time, scored more goals than any other player on a u.s. national soccer team. so, he is certainly what you d think to be a very vital part of the history moving forward. but really, this is a coach s decision here. jurgen klinsmann is clearly saying here that he s got the best 23 guys, and landon donovan does not fit into the needs of
