Morning Hot Reads: Excused From Debate

The GLOBE & MAIL writes under the header, “How The NHL Escaped The Brunt Of The Concussion Debate.” The NHL “exists in two conceptual spaces: It's a Canadian game but an American business.” Its head offices are in N.Y., and for the past 40 years, it has been “run by Americans.” Twenty-four of its 31 clubs “pay their taxes” to DC. Despite that “domestic pedigree, professional hockey isn't seen in America as one of that country's cultural products.” It is a “foreign game played by foreigners.” This is why hockey “exists largely outside the concussion continuum, at least in terms of the debate.”

The DAILY CALIFORNIAN writes for the second year in a row, Cal’s athletic department will “receive a bailout from the chancellor’s office to close its deficit, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of the department.” If the department uses all of the funds “available from the chancellor’s office” Cal aAthletics will have received about $100M in “bailouts, subsidies and annual student fees” since FY ’10.
