Charlotte, Nashville, and Wichita are hosting early-round games in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament—but LGBT advocates say North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kansas allow discrimination against LGBT persons on religious or other grounds.

Here’s a look at some of the athletes, events, and storylines worth watching at this year’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The games will begin on Feb. 8 and continue through Feb. 25.

Perhaps the most shocking revelation in former Olympic sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross’ book Chasing Grace is not that she ran in the 2008 Summer Games just two weeks after having an abortion.

According to the four-time gold medalist, abortion is common—if unspoken about—among women in her sport: “I literally don’t know another female track and field athlete who hasn’t had an abortion,” she writes, “and that’s sad.”

The Dallas Cowboys call themselves “America’s Team.” The slogan is central to the Cowboys’ brand and immense nationwide popularity.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones surely aims to keep it that way. Perhaps that’s why, in response to the trend of NFL players kneeling during pregame performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest racism, police mistreatment of African-Americans, President Trump, or whatever else, Jones told his players to stand during the national anthem, or sit during the game.

We’ll report next month about winners and losers in the highly publicized National Anthem War, but stories of theological progress and regress don’t get much attention. The National Football League has dozens of stories of theological progress and regress. Here are capsules on Ryan Succop, Britton Colquitt, Aaron Rodgers, and Benjamin Watson/Tony Dungy.

Kurt Warner was to football what King David was to royalty: David went from shepherd to king, and Warner rose from lowly grocery clerk to superstar NFL quarterback. At 46-year-old Warner’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last month, he capped his acceptance speech by praising Christ: “His last moment was for me, mine is for Him. Thank you, Jesus!”

Stephen Vogt may be Major League Baseball’s most unlikely two-time All-Star.

Now the Milwaukee Brewers’ backup catcher, Vogt didn’t catch on full time with a major league team until he was almost 30. After the Tampa Bay Rays drafted him out of a small Christian college in 2007, he spent all or parts of eight seasons in the minors before joining the Oakland A’s full time in mid-2014.
