By TANDY LAU

Amsterdam News Staff, Report for America Corps Member

West Indies cricket legend Chris Gayle isn’t a morning person. But who can blame the self-proclaimed “Universe Boss” for a late day start when the Kingston-born 42-year-old is triple-dipping as an atomic-powered batsman, chartclimbing recording artist and Jamaican cultural ambassador to South Asia.

For over two decades, Gayle dominated the international cricket scene as a star player on the “Windies,” the famed pan-Caribbean West Indies team. He’s quick to remind everyone he’s still actively competing—Gayle is playing in a tournament this week. But these days, he’s dedicated to becoming a different type of hit-maker.

“My main focus right now is [to] just get my music spread all across the globe and just try to get as big as possible—like I’ve done in cricket,” said Gayle. “It’s not going to be an easy task just being in the industry for two years now.”

“But it’s there for the taking, and it’s up to me to put in that work and get that done.”

Like the legions of amateur bakers and firsttime investors, Gayle first dabbled with new passions during the pandemic. He soon found a calling in music. There’s a recording studio in his house. His 2021 party anthem collaboration with Hindi rapper Emiway Bantai “Jamaica to India” boasts over 57 million YouTube views. And this October, his debut album “Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica: The Asian Edition” drops. Gayle won’t be the only legend on the eight-song tracklist—Newark-born rap icons Lauryn Hill and Redman represent the Tri-State area as features. For the famously self-assured Gayle, breaking into the New York market is a humbling experience. He’s an international superstar but the American cricket scene is still developing and rap and R&B will always be the nation’s musical bread-andbutter. Gayle cites Shaggy, Sean Paul and of course, Bob Marley as influences for Jamaican success in the United States.

There’s certainly plenty of love shared with South Asia in his music—Gayle spent many years playing in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi leagues. He’s played in the region for roughly a decade and a half, and while he doesn’t speak Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu or Bengali, sports is a universal language.

“Once you play cricket, they will treat you like a king,” said Gayle. “It doesn’t matter where you’re from, once you play that game, you’ll be looked upon like a national hero to them.”

And he’s fallen in love with South Asian cuisine. Butter chicken is one of his favorites. Gayle also recommends a fire pit-cooked fish he tried at a riverside eatery in the backwater Indian state of Kerala. But how does it stack up to food from home?

“Indian food is excellent, but Jamaican food is definitely No. 1,” he said, laughing. “But Indian food is amazing…absolutely amazing.”

Cannabis

Continued from page 4

the past two years.

Over the next month, OCM and the city will attempt to distribute licenses to qualifying businesses owned by formerly incarcerated individuals, or their parent, legal guardian, child, spouse, or dependent. If a person or a close family member had a marijuana arrest or conviction before March 31, 2021 and have been an owner or a partial owner of a profitable business for two years or more, then they qualify.

“As one of the Black communities most harmed by the federal war on drugs and the state’s Rockefeller laws, we strongly believe that our people must benefit economically from the legalization of the billion-dollar marijuana industry,” said

Regina Smith, executive director, Harlem Business

Alliance in a statement.

“Without tremendous resources from the city and state—especially startup capital and intensive culturally-competent, community-based, business development services— this will not happen.”

OCM’s Chief Equity Officer Damian Fagon said that the phrase ‘justice involved’ is important to finding and verifying these potential licensees and connecting them with cannabis business services.

Fagon said in order to start the conversation OCM has tapped church groups,

Black business groups, and various other venues to meet people where they are from Buffalo, Kingston, and Albany to the Bronx.

He said people who have shown interest in applying often have backgrounds in various industries, like contractors or barbers or tax accountants.

As far as the illegal market crackdown, Fagon said this is a “public health situation” that necessitates regulation so people know where products are from, what’s in them, and how they were made. Especially, with concerns of people selling fentanyl laced weed or cannabis with pesticides and chemicals in them.

“I would leave this position if we started putting people behind bars for selling a plant,” said Fagon. “But that’s not what the city did and that’s not what anyone’s talking about doing. There’s no law on the books that would put someone behind bars, but there are fines.”

Fagon added that unlicensed or illegal cannabis shops that have been operating for a while aren’t necessarily from within New York City or the “legacy community that’s been selling weed in communities” for decades. He said storefronts are often out-of-state owners, not from the culture, and looking to make quick cash. OCM has sent out cease-and-desist letters to unlicensed shops and is trying to get people to transition into the legal market.

There are nine total licenses that the state is issuing next year for those that don’t initially qualify in this round. These other licenses involve on-site consumption, delivery, microprocessing, nursery, and other areas of the cannabis industry, said Fagon.

New Yorkers can learn more about Cannabis NYC online at www.nyc.gov/cannabis or by calling 888-SBS4NYC (888-727-4692). Applications for licenses close on September 26.

After their playoff ouster, the Liberty look toward the future

By LOIS ELFMAN

Special to the AmNews

“I think there was definite growth, especially with the final games to make playoffs,” said New York Liberty veteran Rebecca Allen, the only player with the team from prior to 2019. “You really saw this grit. You saw us all coming together and also showing we had our style of play and our identity. I feel that was a massive step compared to last year.”

While the Liberty’s playoff berth did come down to the final regular season game, the team got stronger in the stretch, scoring three big wins to cement its spot. That carried into the first game of the playoffs with a win over the Chicago Sky. Although the Liberty did not advance to the semifinals, hopes are high for 2023.

It has been noted that several top players in other franchises will be free agents after this season concludes. Head coach Sandy Brondello said the Liberty is just a few pieces off from a championship caliber team. “If we get the right pieces, that will help obviously us continue our development,” said Brondello.

“I think we need a little bit more toughness,” Brondello added. “This year…our toughest player was injured the whole year, and that’s Betnijah Laney. That obviously hurt us. We had to find other ways, and you adapt to the players that you have. When we’re all on the same page, things look great. Other times, we were inconsistent.”

Laney, the team’s leading scorer and an All-Star in 2021, spent most of the season on the sideline with a knee injury. She returned just prior to the playoffs and while not quite her best still brought offensive and defensive power. This was not her first knee surgery, and she credits her support system for getting her back in action.

“We saw glimpses of just how great we can be regardless of what was going on— injury, record, any obstacle we were dealing with—and still being able to make that playoff push was really good for us,” said Laney. “Just imagine if we had all of that the entire season, we’d probably still be playing right now. That’s something to hold on to and embrace as we move into the future.”

The WNBA playoffs continue with the semi-final round now in play. In the opening games the Seattle Storm edged the heavily favored Las Vegas Aces and the Connecticut Sun defeated the Chicago Sky.

The Knicks extend RJ Barrett, but is Mitchell still in play?

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

RJ Barrett is securely a Knick for now.

Team president Leon Rose and the organization greatly pleased Barrett’s group of believers by agreeing to a four-year, $120 million extension with the 22-year-old guard, who will be entering his fourth year in the NBA after being drafted by the Knicks No. 3 overall in 2019.

Does the deal take the Knicks out of play to acquire the Utah Jazz’s threetime All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell. On the surface it doesn’t seem promising he’ll come back to the area where he honed his skills as a youth to anchor the Knicks. Born in Elmsford, New York and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, the 25-year-old Mitchell would inject the Knicks with star quality they desperately need.

They were 37-45 last season and finished 11th in the Eastern Conference, and didn’t have a single player who was a close All-Star consideration. A trade is still possible, but several reports, none confirmed, have stated Jazz CEO of basketball operations Danny Ainge isn’t extremely high on any of the Knicks’ players, notably Barrett. Which brings this column to Julius Randle.

Knicks fans should not live in a state of delusion driven by their emotional attachments to players. It is illogical that a legion of their passionate supporters have continually called for team president Leon Rose to trade Julius Randle, which is seemingly based on their view he is not all in as a diehard Knick. Especially since Mitchell is not in the fold.

Maybe it’s the thumbs down sign Randle directed toward the boisterous Madison Square Garden crowd and the suggestion they “shut the f**K up” while leading a 25-point comeback in a 108-105 win against the Boston Celtics last January 6. Leading up to that unexpected victory, fans were justifiably booing the home team, much of their discontent channeled at the 27-year-old forward, who the prior season was living a dream carrying the Knicks to the playoffs and making All-NBA Second Team.

Many fans never seemed to get over Randle’s acrimony. But he is inarguably the Knicks’ best player. But clearly RJ Barrett is the collective fan base’s favorite. The contrast in Barrett’s and Randle’s approval rating is stark even though Randle has been the more productive and impactful player. In part it is because they view Barrett as one of theirs, a homegrown player they hope will grow into the status Mitchell currently holds.

The odds he does are less than even money. Which is why the Knicks pursuit of Mitchell must continue in earnest.

S P O R T S Giants shape their 53-man roster but changes are still ahead

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

For general managers and coaches, cutting players to reach the NFL’s 53-man roster limit can be gut-wrenching. In some cases, strong relationships have been developed with players. In other situations players that are deserving of making the team are released due to salary cap considerations or a need to retain a less talented player at a position that requires depth.

For a first year general manager, assistant general manager and head coach, namely the Giants’ Joe Scheon, Brandon Brown and Brian Dabol respectively, the exercise of determining who stays and who goes can be much more painstaking than for those with experience as primary decision makers. The trio poured over granular details before trimming the Giants roster down to 53 on Tuesday, two days after their final preseason game, a 31-27 loss to the Jets at MetLife Stadium, the franchise’s shared home. The Giants open the regular season on the road September 11 against the Tennessee Titans.

More players will likely be let go or signed to the 16-man practice squad as the Giants, like most teams, are certain to pick up a few players released by other squads. Perhaps the most unexpected move was the Giants waiving third-string quarterback Davis Webb. The 27-year-old was drafted by the Giants in the third round in 2017 after playing college football first at Texas Tech, where he was replaced as the starter in 2014 by current Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, then one season at the University of California, where he was named the team’s MVP for the 2016 season.

He was behind starter Daniel Jones and second-stringer Tyrod Taylor on the Giants depth chart. It’s possible Webb could be brought back if he isn’t signed by another team. As of early yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon he was still available.

“Relative to our roster management, that’s where we went at this point,” said Daboll regarding Webb. “We’ll see how that all unfolds.” Some close followers of the Giants were not expecting wide receiver Darius Slayton to survive the cuts. The Auburn product, now in his fourth year, saw his production precipitously decline last season after catching 48 passes for 740 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games in his rookie season of 2019, followed up by recording 50 receptions for 751 yards in 16 games in 2020.

But the 25-year-old Slayton, slowed by injuries and inconsistent play at quarterback by Daniel Jones, saw his 2021 numbers dropped to just 26 catches and 339 yards and only two touchdowns. The Giants acknowledged receiving interest from other teams in possibly trading for Slayton.

In addition to Webb, other notable players released by the Giants were running back Jashaun Corbin, receiver C.J. Board and linebacker Quincy Roche.

Judge’s home run assault continues for the first place Yanks

Aaron Judge’s pursuit of breaking the Yankees single season home run record of 61 set by Roger Maris in 1961 continued in Anaheim on Tuesday night when the outfielder bashed his 51st homer of the season to help lead his team to a 7-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees avenged a 4-3 loss to the Angels on Monday, a game in which Judge hit homer No. 50.

“It’s just another number,” Judge said of reaching 50 in an interview on the YES Network after the one-run Yankees defeat. “It’s great, but I’m kind of upset that we lost. It’s a close game we could have won.” Judge’s 51st tied him with teammate Giancarlo Stanton (2017), Luis Gonzalez (2001), Mark McGuire (1999) and Maris (1961) for the most home runs before September. Barry Bonds holds the record at 57 (2001).

“It’s 50 and it’s August,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Monday. “It’s hard to wrap your head around just how incredible of a season he’s had to this point.”

The Yankees ended their threegame series with the Angels last night (Wednesday) and will begin a three-game set on the road tomorrow versus the Tampa Bay Rays. They will return home to the Bronx on Monday to host the Minnesota Twins for three games. The Yankees entered the series finale versus the Angles 79-51, holding a seven-game lead over the second place Rays (71-57) in the American League East division and an eight game advantage over the third place Toronto Blue Jays (70-58).

They started the week 17 games over .500 and remain the No. 2 seed in the American League, trailing the Houston Astros, who were 83-47 when they faced the Texas Rangers on the road last night. The Astros have beaten the Yankees five out of the seven games they’ve gone head-to-head this season. They have no more regular season matchups on the schedule.

Collegiate soccer season is in play, and Fordham University senior midfielder Danielle Etienne is excited to see the team find its rhythm. Under a new coaching staff, the team is feeling strong and showing improvement with every game.

Etienne, who grew up in New Jersey and comes from a soccer playing family, brings her international playing experience to Fordham. “Before I can even remember watching soccer games, I was at soccer games watching my dad play,” she said. As her father and brother did before her, she plays for the Haitian National Team. Her decision to do so is especially meaningful to her grandfather, who played soccer in Haiti before immigrating to the U.S. at age 19.

“I talk to my dad after every game,” said Etienne. “My grandfather will call me and say, ‘I’m so proud of you.’ That’s heartwarming and one of the reasons I wanted to play for the Haitian National Team.”

Another reason is gaining experience and skills, which each fall she brings back to her team at Fordham. “It definitely elevates my game to another level,” said Etienne. “There are different qualities that come when [the Haitian team] goes into training camp. It’s a high level and it makes you better. I’m around really strong players. They test me every time. They challenge me all the time. When I come back to Fordham, I try to bring that same thing to my team, challenge my teammates and make them better.”

In college and on the Haitian National Team, each year new players join, and familiar faces leave. Learning to adapt makes her more agile in new situations. A Psychology major and French minor, Etienne said it’s pretty easy for her to adjust to new teammates. A common goal bonds teams, she noted.

She chose Fordham because it is relatively close to home and is deeply appreciative of the university’s stellar academics. On track to graduate next spring, Etienne may take advantage of the additional year of eligibility available to any studentathlete who played in the 2020–21 school year and start a master’s degree program. Her goal after Fordham is to play soccer professionally, which her brother is currently doing with the Columbus Crew. While still a collegiate player, she hopes to help Haiti qualify for next year’s World Cup and the 2024 Olympics.

Stony Brook volleyball is ready for action in the CAA

By LOIS ELMAN

Special to the AmNews

There is fresh energy among the fall sports at Stony Brook University. The Seawolves are in a new athletic conference, the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and student-athletes and coaches want to show their skills. The volleyball team has opened the season 2–0.

“We’ve made a lot of changes going into this year in terms of mostly our defense, but also our style of play and trying to take ownership over a little scrappier identity,” said head coach Kristin Belzung. “I’m excited about how the kids have bought into it and the way they’ve stepped up to the challenge.”

Practice officially began on August 8, but most of the team arrived on campus on July 5 for optional workouts. Belzung is pleased with the core upperclassman group, noting that the junior class had their first off-season last spring. Traditionally a fall sport, their freshman year play was moved to the spring due to the pandemic.

“We used the spring to develop them as both students and as athletes. I feel they really benefited from having that spring and they’ve come into their own and have walked into this season like upperclassmen, having a little bit of ownership over the program, having a different level of confidence. That’s allowing them to really help our incoming freshmen and transfers in getting acclimated,” said Belzung.

Stony Brook is extremely demanding academically. Belzung said these studentathletes chose Stony Brook because it is a university where they can have success in multiple areas. Their work ethic is reflected both in the classroom and in the gym. Several of the players on the volleyball team are pursuing health-related fields.

Two players to look out for this season are middle blocker Saige Bradley and setter Torri Henry. “Torri is one of the most competitive people I’ve met and in a really quiet way. The value that she adds to our gym is significant because she’s constantly trying to figure out how to win,” said Belzung. “Saige is the life of the party, the person that comes in every day with the same upbeat energy. She’s super competitive and is also the cheerleader and person that keeps our gym ticking at a high level from an energy standpoint.”
