major cities, with an estimated 2,000 citizen casualties.

He took time out to praise the Ukrainian resistance, noting they “are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days, weeks and months will be hard on them,” he lamented. “Putin has unleashed violence and chaos. But while he may make gains on the battlefield, he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.”

Then it was time to deal with other pressing issues, including the ongoing pandemic, which has to some degree lessened, and America’s rescue plan. He noted that the economy had created over 6.5 million new jobs, which like many of his comments brought the audience to their feet with applause. The economy, he stressed, has shown its strongest growth in nearly 40 years. “Invest in America,” he said, attempting to speak above the ovation. “Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not from the top down. Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up, and the wealthy do very well. America used to have the best roads, bridges and airports on earth.”

Keeping a focus on his achievements, he boasted about the improvement of the infrastructure, and the need to “buy American products.” Expanded efforts in technology, the broadband, more emphasis on electric vehicles, were among the items that had been addressed and would be given even more attention for development.

Interestingly, when the MSNBC cameras focused on Rep. Gregory Meeks, the House Foreign Affairs chair, Biden underscored his concern to make America stronger at home and abroad.

It took him some time to get to another key talking point during his hour-long speech, and he placed the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the proper context of saluting Justice Breyer’s long service in the Supreme Court and the need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. And there was no pause in the applause when he spoke on the importance of immigration. He said that a pathway had to be provided to give Dreamers citizenship, “those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.”

Toward the end of his speech, he cited the importance of lowering the price of prescription drugs, the opioid crisis, and the need to end the spread of cancer, which he put in a personal context, recalling the death of his son, Beau.

And as the cameras focused on three military men in uniform, Biden said, “I’m also calling on Congress to pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and the comprehensive health care that they deserve.”

The litany of challenges he voiced could all be overcome because, he said, “We are the only nation on earth that has always turned every crisis we face into an opportunity. The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.”

The “American people are strong,” he declared. “This is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.”

By VINCENT DAVIS Special to the AmNews

Ukraine, the second largest Eastern European country that borders the east and northeast areas of Russia, roughly 4,800 miles away from New York City, is now over a week into defending itself from an invasion by Russian military forces. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, is solely behind the death and destruction taking place in a country with a thriving sports culture.

With 40 miles of Russian tanks currently rolling threw Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and bombs creating devastating destruction, it’s highly unlikely that Ukrainian sports fans are concerned about how many points their countryman, Toronto Raptors forward and University of Kansas alumnus Svi Mykhailiuk, dropped on the Brooklyn Nets Monday and Tuesday nights in the teams back-to-back games.

Prior to the start of last Thursday’s game between the NBA’s Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets, players from both teams locked arms and held a moment of silence in solidarity for Ukraine and its native son Alex Len, a 28-year-old Ukrainian-born center for the Kings. Len played college basketball for the University of Maryland and was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns.

Vitali Klitschko, 51, the former WBC and WBO heavyweight boxing champion, is the mayor of Kyiv and the head of the Kyiv City State Administration. He’s held both offices since June of 2014, and has been active in Ukrainian politics since 2005. He retired from boxing in December 2013.

“I am Ukrainian, and I am a fighter,” Klitschko declared in an interview on Monday conducted at Kyiv’s town hall. “Our strongest force is the will and desire to live in a free country, and we have chosen the direction we want to go,” the mayor stated, adamant and defiant in his defense of his homeland.

“We want to make sure that our values are going to be implemented rightly into our society, and no one else is going to decide for us how we should live.”

Vitali’s brother, Wladimir, who will turn 46 later this month, is also a former heavyweight champion of WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO and is similarly politically active.

FIFA, the International Federation of Association Football, and UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations, known here as soccer, have issued a joint statement announcing the suspension of Russia’s teams from their organizations.

“FIFA and UEFA have today decided together that all Russian teams, whether national representative teams or club teams, shall be suspended from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice.”

The announcement was made on Monday by the Bureau of the FIFA Council and the Executive Committee of UEFA, the highest decision-making bodies of both organizations.

The International Olympic Committee’s executive board recommended that sports federations ban Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from competing in events following Russia’s invasion. Belarus has supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The IOC executive board stated the action was taken “in order to protect the integrity of global sports competitions and for the safety of all the participants.” The National Hockey League (NHL), the largest American sports League with foreign players, issued a statement that read it “condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” and urges a peaceful and quick resolution.

“Effective immediately, we are suspending our relationships with our business partners in Russia,” the declaration continued, “and we are pausing our Russian language social and digital media sites. In addition, we are discontinuing any consideration of Russia as a location for any future competitions involving the NHL.”

MLB cancels Opening Day as the labor dispute persists

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

Given the contentious history of Major League Baseball labor disputes, when the owners made the determination to institute a lockout of the players at midnight on Dec. 2, 2021, when the league’s collective bargaining agreement expired the previous day, halting all business including the signing of free agents, the ominous signal that the start of the 2022 season could be postponed was glaring.

Unable to reach a deal by this past Tuesday’s 5 p.m. mutually accepted deadline between the pertinent parties, the seemingly inevitable became official. Opening Day, originally scheduled for March 31, has been shelved. Spring training, which was set to start Feb. 26, already has been delayed.

“I had hoped against hope that I would not have to have this particular press conference in which I am going to cancel some regular season games,” said MLB Commissioner Rob D. Manfred Jr. on Tuesday evening addressing the media at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida, site of the negotiations.

“We worked hard to avoid an outcome that’s bad for our fans, bad for our players, and bad for our clubs. I want to assure our fans that our failure to reach an agreement was not due to a lack of effort by either party. The players came here for nine days and worked hard, they tried to make a deal and I appreciate their effort.” Tony Clark, the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, also expressed his disappointment with the outcome of the talks. “Today is a sad day as a former player, as a fan; for our game, today is a sad day,” he lamented. “We came to Florida to navigate or negotiate for a fair collective bargaining agreement. Despite meeting daily while here in Florida there’s still work that needs to be done. We are seeking improvements to our CBA because significant improvements are needed. “We’ve made no mistake,” Clark expounded, “about that fact over the course of the last three or four years based on what we’ve seen on the field and off the field…But the reason we are not playing is simple. A lockout is the ultimate economic weapon…In a $10 billion industry the owners have made a conscious decision to use this weapon against the greatest asset they have—the players.”

The players are seeking several changes, most significantly an increase in the Competitive Balance Tax threshold, which essentially serves as a de facto salary cap, that would begin at $220 million per season and escalate in later years of the agreement, a minimum salary of $700,000, and reconfigured service time provisions, allowing players to reach free-agency sooner than the previous CBA afforded.

There have been nine strikes and lockouts in MLB history, the first in 1972 and then before the current impasse in the 1994-’95 season as well in which 938 games and the entire postseason was canceled. Each labor conflict left deep scars on the sport.

Clark encapsulated baseball’s dire state of affairs, a game in critical need of growing its appeal to a younger fan base that over the past four decades has lost a substantial portion of the under 50 years old market share to the NFL and NBA.

“The game that a lot of baseball fans have grown up knowing has changed,” asserted Clark, who played first base for the Mets and Yankees in 2003 and 2004 respectively. “The value inherent, and how players are respected and viewed has changed. Players have been commoditized in a way that is really hard to explain.

“The game has continued to be damaged and is again damaged today as a result of a lockout that was started by the league…”

Nets celebrate HBCUs with joyful display

By LOIS ELFMAN

Special to the AmNews

“I’d sum it up in two words, ‘Black joy,’” said Jackie Wilson II, chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer for BSE Global, parent company of the Brooklyn Nets, following the team’s exuberant celebration of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). While Wilson did not attend an HBCU he is a proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi, one of the Divine Nine, a group of Black fraternities and sororities that performed the Divine Nine Stroll at halftime.

“I think that it is our responsibility in the diverse borough of Brooklyn to use our platform to amplify the culture, but also bring awareness and educate,” said Wilson. “I was especially looking forward to my fraternity brothers coming in and showing up.

“This is not a check-the-box activity,” he added. “We’re looking to have a lasting impact and use our platform to really bring about meaningful change.”

Throughout the month of February, the Nets celebrated Black History Month with a series of United Games honoring the legacy and impact of Black pioneers. On Feb. 24, before the game the team hosted a panel discussion about HBCUs for nearly 1,000 local students followed by an HBCU College Fair at which 16 institutions took part. “The topic was about the HBCU experience and how it shapes young Black minds and empowers them,” said Wilson. “We talked about the support system that oftentimes exists within HBCUs. It’s bigger than coming there for an education. It’s coming there for holistic learning to help you become a more empowered person.” Hampton University alum Yakik Rumley said the event recognized the history and the culture of the HBCU experience. He spoke with high school juniors, seniors and their parents at the College Fair. “It was exciting and I felt proud,” said Rumley. “Watching the Divine Nine Stroll brought me back to my college days, seeing all those people step.” At the conclusion of the panel discussion, historical questions were posed to the students in attendance. Those who gave correct answers were given a free admission waiver to apply for the common application for HBCUs. Also, the ThurMembers of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority take part in the halftime Divine Nine Stroll good Marshall College Fund gave a (Photo courtesy of Mike Lawrence/@mikelawrencesports) book scholarship. “We have several employees, including a member on my team, who graduated from Florida A&M University,” said Wilson. “Those employees were at the Florida A&M table not only talking about how Florida A&M set them up for success, but also changed the way they viewed themselves.”

Nets and Liberty team up with Xbox to inspire young fans

Special to the AmNews

Rising sports journalist Pepper Persley, a 10-year-old New York native, will host the digital series “Jnr. Ballers,” a collaboration that the Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty have with Xbox. The series will showcase the sense of community that young people find in gaming and the stories will hopefully inspire basketball fans.

“It was really awesome to be a part of,” said Persley, who always brings the good questions to press conferences. “I love that they’re doing something to try to highlight the stories and the dreams of kids. I think that’s super awesome and I don’t think it’s done enough. I’m grateful that they came to me to host it and promote it. I love what they’re doing with it.” Six kids from the NYPD Community Center in East New York were selected to participate in programs designed to create real-world paths to achieving their personal dreams. The episodes can be found via the Nets’ twitter page, @BrooklynNets, for the remainder of the NBA season and then switch to @NYLiberty at the start of WNBA season. “I love playing 2K [the NBA video game],” said Persley, who is determined to play college basketball. “It was awesome to be in that space with fellow kids. When I’m doing my journalist work, I’m usually with a lot of adults, so it was great to be with other kids and have a ball.”

The Jnr. Ballers are Hollis Hobbs, Lyric Leftwich, Jabarii Mitchell, Samantha Rodriguez, Leah Rodriguez and Kerick Tejada. All are gamers, but Hobbs, Mitchell and Tejada also have hoop dreams. There will be videos in which all the participants share their dreams. Persley said they had a good time doing the photo shoot and filming the promotional video. Liberty player Betnijah Laney was at Barclays working out and came to greet and talk with them.

“We were on the practice court just playing around,” said Persley. “We were in awe being able to come out of that tunnel [that leads to center court] just like the Liberty and the Nets do. It was a great experience for all of us.”

Persley hopes the digital series garners a few extra WNBA fans. “I try to promote it,” she said. “Hopefully, there will be kids who see what I’m doing and…see they can watch the WNBA and look up to the players.”

Seton Hall University guard Lauren Park-Lane earned the season’s final #BIGEASTwbb Player of the Week honor for the 2021–’22 basketball season. She and her fellow Pirates are now heading into the Big East Tournament, which starts tomorrow. It’s been a good, not great, season for Seton Hall, but the team has clearly been building steam as the season progressed. Division I teams now have post-season play in their sights. It’s been a strange and demanding season. It began on time and on schedule, but was upended when the Omicron variant led to numerous cancellations and reschedules. In January, Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman told Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, “We’re doing the best we can to be competently reactive to the outbreaks.”

Here is a look at a few local teams with winning records as they head into their respective conference tournaments. In Manhattan, Columbia University has one more Ivy League game to play before heading into the Ivy League Tournament next weekend. Currently 11–2 in conference play—Columbia’s best-ever Ivy League record—the only conference team to roar louder than the Lions has been the Princeton Tigers, currently an undefeated 12–0 in Ivy League action with two games this weekend.

Manhattan College in the Bronx is 12–6 in MAAC action with two more conference games to play. The MAAC Tournament starts on Tuesday. Fellow Bronx resident, Fordham University, is 8–6 in Atlantic 10 play with its conference tournament starting today.

Over in Brooklyn, St. Francis College is having an outstanding season with a 12–5 record in NEC action. The Terriers have their final regular season conference game tonight. In Staten Island, Wagner College is also having a good season. With one conference game remaining, the Seahawks are 9-8 in NEC play. St. Francis is second in the NEC standings and Wagner is fourth. The top ranked team is Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, which has already secured the regular season title, the Knights’ first since 1993. The Northeast Conference Tournament kicks off on Monday.

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

Arguably the most compelling and dramatic four weeks of basketball is underway as the aptly named March Madness NCAA basketball spectacle is underway.

The Division I men’s season will culminate at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Monday, April 4, with the two semifinal games played on Saturday, April 2. With seven of the top 10 ranked teams in the AP poll losing last weekend, the first time in the history of the poll that has occurred, the results sent a clear message that the tournament is wide open with no clear favorite.

Some of the power programs such as Gonzaga and Baylor, who met in last year’s championship game with Baylor walking away with the title, Kentucky, Duke and Kansas are all well stocked and primed for a the Superdome on the season’s closing night.

One of the most compelMike Krzyzewski, who announced last June he would be retiring after this season. Division I with 1.123 victories and five NCAA championships. Duke, currently ranked No. 4 at 26-4, is led by 6-foot-10 freshman forward Paolo Banchero, a projected top three pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

Madison Square Garden is preparing for the Big East Tournament which begins next Wednesday and ends on Saturday, March 12. St. John’s went into its game versus Xavier last night in seventh place in the conference with a record of 15-13 overall and 7-10 in Big East games. The Red Storm will play their final regular season game at Marquette this Saturday.

Iona may have the best chance of the local teams to make it to the NCAA’s field of 68. The Gaels, under the direction of head coach Rick Pitino, a 2013 inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, are 24-5 and at the top of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (16-2) when they face Manhattan College tonight on the road.
