Samuelson’s Olympic marathon win was a game-changer for women’s sports

Report: Chargers expect WR Ladd McConkey, LB Khalil Mack to play vs. Ravens

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to continue competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship scheduled for later this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by nine current players who are suing the Mountain West Conference to challenge the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Judge Crews referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player in his ruling and noted that no defendant disputed that San Jose State rosters a transgender woman volleyball player. He said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting that the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a forfeit in league standings. He also said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 – making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a political campaign year. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. San Jose State is seeded second. The judge's order maintains the seedings and pairings for the tournament. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without providing further details. Crews served as a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him to serve as a federal judge in January of this year. ____ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.

MITCHELL — Nothing could’ve prepared Alex Kretzschmar for the experience the last several months has brought. But after a full season at the helm of the Dakota Wesleyan University football team, Kretzschmar is ready to turn the page to 2025. ADVERTISEMENT Kretzschmar, who has served on the Tigers coaching staff since 2022, has officially been the Tigers’ head coach since February, following former head coach Ross Cimpl’s promotion to become DWU’s athletic director. Under his guidance, DWU overcame an 0-3 start to finish the season at 4-7, playing .500 football from the team’s bye week on Sept. 21 to the end of the year. Overall, the Tigers’ ground game averaged the third-most rushing yards per game among Great Plains Athletic Conference teams, while also having five players garner all-GPAC recognition for their performances this season. With the 2024 campaign in the rear view, Kretzschmar recently sat down with the Mitchell Republic to reflect on his first season as head coach along with the team’s offseason plans, with his answers below, edited for clarity: Q: Overall, for you personally, how did your first season as DWU football’s head coach go? AK: It was definitely a learning experience, and being a first-time head coach, there’s a learning curve. I didn’t make any decision haphazardly or lightly, analyzed it and got feedback from my coaches with everything we did. There’s a reason for everything we did and why we did. Sometimes, some things worked and some things didn’t, and that’s the way it is. I’m sure any head coach would say that. I enjoyed it. It was a lot different than being a coordinator, an assistant, and being a position coach. Q: What’s been the biggest piece of advice you received that’s helped you along the way as the season progressed? ADVERTISEMENT AK: “Go with what your gut is telling you and don't try to overthink it. Whatever happens, own it, move on and then try to make it better. Make decisions as they come.” Obviously, you always want to kind of be looking a few steps ahead and being ready for any different possibilities. Ultimately, you can't predict the future. You have to make decisions with the information you have and go forward. If that information changes, then you adjust, reassess and move forward from there. Q: This season, the Tigers finished 4-7 after an 0-3 start. Looking back, what was one thing about this group that stood out the most? AK: They were willing to take that look in the mirror and say, “What do we need to do to be better? What is truly holding us back?” Those are hard conversations for some guys but to their credit, the whole team was like, “We have to change. Otherwise, it's going to be more of the same.” Our bye week practices were intense because the guys were putting in full effort and competing. It made those three practices extremely fun. We had to make that correlation of why they’re having fun is because they were out there competing and that's what we needed to continue to do throughout the season and we'd start to see the results. Q: Which game this year is the most memorable from the standpoint of the players executing the game plan to how everyone acted throughout the full 60 minutes? AK: From the standpoint of "Let’s go out here and get this done," that was our Oct. 5 win against Hastings. The guys had a little bit of a different fire behind them. They were ready to go out there and compete. We ran into some adversity prior to the start of the game and the guys responded well. We were able to cause a turnover on defense and get the ball back. On that next drive, we were able to go down and score, and that kind of spawned everything. In the second half, we started with the ball, ran three plays for 70 yards, and kind of just went from there. ADVERTISEMENT Q: Looking ahead, what did you tell the Tigers players to focus on during the offseason, and how do you see potential recruits fit in with what the team is trying to achieve? AK: We're going to play the best players that we can. Even the guys that were starters realized they have to level their game up and work to get better. It starts in the weight room and working on skill development outside of the weight room, such as getting faster, getting quicker, all that type of stuff and getting in better shape. We're recruiting high-character individuals who will represent our program at the university well and trying to recruit the best football players we can. One of the greatest compliments anyone that plays this sport can get is, “That guy's a football player.” You have to be able to have guys that can play certain positions, but ultimately, we're looking for young men that want to go out there and compete. Q: What do you ultimately want to take away from this season? AK: You never know when you're going to be called to do something, and when you are, you have to be all in. Last year at this time, I would never have thought that I was going to become the head coach. This opportunity presented itself because of an opportunity that was presented to coach Cimpl. There's always things that you can do better. There's always things that you can continue to work on and make your strengths stronger and, but then also continue to work on your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. That doesn't happen unless you go all in. All the credit goes to the players. They worked hard, got better, and grew as individuals, teammates and as a team. The reason why coaches get into this is because of seeing that growth in players and seeing them reach their full potential. ADVERTISEMENT

Brighton draws 0-0 with Brentford in lackluster Premier League encounter

The Christmas night episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 574,000 viewers on TBS, down 8.2 percent from last week. It’s the lowest audience total for the show since November 27 and is the fourth-lowest viewership Dynamite has done in its regular time slot in 2024. Dynamite drew a 0.18 rating in the 18-49 demo, finishing second on the prime time cable charts. That’s down 5.3 percent from last week but ties the second-highest rating the show has done in that category since November 20. The episode was taped in advance from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and aired after the end of TBS’ annual 24-hour marathon of “A Christmas Story.” Dynamite went head-to-head with a Christmas night NBA game on ESPN that topped the cable charts with a 1.00 rating in 18-49, averaging nearly three million viewers overall. As compared to the same week in 2023, Dynamite’s overall viewership was down 31.9 percent while its 18-49 rating was down 41.9 percent. Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for Dynamite, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 5.4 percent in overall viewers but steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages."Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Mr Trump made the announcement in a post on social media, calling him "one of the most successful businessmen in the country". Mr Stephens is chairman, president, and CEO of Stephens Inc, a privately owned financial services company with its headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to the firm's website. Mr Trump said his pick for ambassador "has built a wonderful financial services firm, while selflessly giving back to his community as a philanthropist". He added: "Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full-time. I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top diplomat, representing the USA to one of America's most cherished and beloved allies." Mr Stephens is a longtime Republican donor who reportedly gave to conservative groups that opposed Trump in 2016 but then supported him in the 2020 and 2024 races. He was also a top campaign fundraiser, known as a "bundler", for the Republican party's presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 US election, according to reports. The Senate is required to confirm Mr Stephens as the choice for ambassador to the UK. During his first presidential term, Mr Trump selected Robert "Woody" Johnson, a contributor to his campaign and the owner of the New York Jets football team, as his representative to the United Kingdom. Mr Trump has already named many of his nominees for his cabinet and high-profile diplomatic posts, assembling a roster of staunch loyalists. Over the weekend, Mr Trump announced he intends to nominate real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France.

ALBANY — A new law aims to end harassment of domestic violence survivors in their motor vehicles through remote manipulation of global positioning satellite devices, automatic starters, temperature controls and more. The bill passed by the Legislature earlier this year said domestic abusers are "weaponizing" the growing remote control technology to harass, stalk and threaten survivors of domestic violence. The technology can be a small device hidden inside a vehicle or installed in the vehicle by the manufacturer or dealer to help locate the vehicle when it’s lost or stolen. The technology can then be operated through a computer or smartphone application and control several operations in a vehicle as well as identify where the car is parked or traveling, according to the legislation. Assemb. Linda Rosenthal (D-Manhattan), the bill’s Assembly sponsor, said that before this law survivors who were harassed by the remote technology would have to go through a lengthy process and cost of securing a court order of protection. "Abusers were trying to continue to harass their victims in this newish way," Rosenthal told Newsday Friday. "The way they were doing it was by tracking them to see where they were going in their car."

"This gives them a tool to escape continued harassment," Rosenthal said. At least 26 states including California and the District of Columbia have adopted similar measures in recent years, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The Senate sponsor said abuse by the remote control devices took away what is supposed to be a safe space for survivors. "Domestic violence survivors already have more than enough to deal with," said the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn), on Friday. "They need and deserve places where they can feel safe and secure. The last thing they should have to worry about is the frankly terrifying idea that even their own vehicle might become a tool for their abuser to stalk and harass them." The new law is also intended to help law enforcement clear a hurdle in trying to make a case against an abuser who uses the technology to harass, stalk or threaten, according to the law. Cases were hard to prove because car dealers or manufacturers — not abusers — controlled who had access to the remote control technology. `The new law, however, will require car manufacturers and auto dealers to remove an abuser’s access to remote vehicle technology when a survivor makes a request. The survivor must show proof of ownership and the abuser’s access to the remote technology must be done at no cost to the survivor. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the bill into law. It’s effective immediately. The New York Times and CBS New York have reported several cases in which women felt threatened by use of the remote technology. "For all of the positive uses of GPS, the expanded use of GPS-enabled devices has also increased the inappropriate use of technology to monitor or track a person’s location," states WomensLaw.org, a Brooklyn-based group of lawyers, teachers and advocates for survivors of domestic violence. "As GPS technology has become cheaper and more advanced, small and easily hidden devices can include GPS technology and make it harder to know which devices have tracking capabilities, enabling abusers to misuse the technology to track your location," the group stated. Under New York’s law, vehicle manufacturers and dealers in New York state must also provide information on websites and in cellphone applications on how to terminate an abuser’s access to a vehicle’s remote technology. Any manufacturer or dealer who fails to comply with the law could face a $500 civil penalty, according to the legislation. "My bill takes a simple, common sense step to ensure abusers can’t use this tech to harm people," Gounardes said in announcing the bill signing Friday. Much of the concern involves the use of GPS devices to stalk or confront survivors, according to NCSL. GPS devices can be installed in or attached to a car and data can be transmitted to a domestic abuser. The devices had gained popularity as a market for parents to keep track of their teenagers behind the wheel.

West Ham break Newcastle’s spell to lift pressure on Julen Lopetegui

ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers issue same demand over exit as campmate sparks furySan Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and top backup Jordan Mason are being placed on injured reserve. McCaffrey left the snowy field in Buffalo on Sunday night after a 5-yard gain that was preceded by him heading to the sideline in apparent pain at the end of an 18-yard run. McCaffrey was diagnosed with a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee and did not play in the second half. The 49ers also lost Jordan Mason, who emerged in a starting role with McCaffrey out the first two months of the season, to an ankle injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mason has a high-ankle sprain, which typically requires a recovery window of 4-6 weeks. Those moves push rookie Isaac Guerendo into the RB1 spot. He scored the team's only touchdown at Buffalo. The IR slots in San Francisco are manned by multiple starters, including wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and safety Talanoa Hufanga. Mason had a team-leading 789 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns. Being placed on IR means he's not eligible to play until the regular-season finale at Arizona. McCaffrey had 53 yards on seven carries on Sunday night and caught two passes for 14 yards before exiting. He was playing in just his fourth game of the season after missing the first eight because of Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year last season, when he led the league with 2,023 yards from scrimmage: a league-leading 1,459 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns plus 67 catches for 564 yards and seven scores. McCaffrey hasn't scored a touchdown in his four appearances this season. He has rushed for 202 yards on 50 carries and caught 15 passes for 146 yards. "It was frustrating," Shanahan said after the game. "He had a great week of practice and I could feel his urgency and stuff and thought he came out great, looking really good, and it looked like he just got his shoestring there. ... I hurt for him, and tough for our team not having him." The 49ers (5-7) played without defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) in the 35-10 loss. San Francisco has lost three in a row heading into next Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears (4-8) in Santa Clara, Calif. San Francisco resides two games behind the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (7-5) with five games remaining on the schedule. Seattle and San Francisco split their season series. --Field Level Media

AUSTIN, Texas — It's a chance to walk across the graduation stage without having to walk through debt for the rest of their lives. While the reaction has mostly been excitement about the University of Texas system to expand its free tuition program , some state lawmakers claim it's an abuse of power. UT system chairman Kevin Eltife said the expansion to their "Promise Plus" program is a game changer. "This is so meaningful for so many people," Eltife said. "There are so many people who think they don't have the opportunity to go on to higher education. They think it's out of their reach." The expansion will provide free tuition to families who make less than $100,000 annually. The board started the program in 2019, providing free tuition for families who made less than $65,000. But with the cost of living and tuition rising across the nation, the board wanted to make a change. While the reaction has mostly been excitement about the University of Texas System Board of Regents plan to expand the free tuition program, some state lawmakers claim it's an abuse of power. After the announcement, State Rep. Brian Harrison posted on social media that the move was "an absolute abuse of power by executive branch bureaucrats" because the "Legislature never approved it." But for many others, the expansion of this program is a sigh of relief. "People are celebrating this. This is a relief," said founder and CEO of Access College America Dale Price. "This is a relief. Parents are really, really excited that they now have opportunities that send their kid to college that is not going to put them in debt for the rest of their life." Price owns a college consulting agency and works with incoming college students and their parents. He said getting rid of the barrier to higher education is going to open up many new doors for them. "That alone is going to be great because if they want to continue their education for grad school, or maybe they want to look at making a housing purchase, they have these opportunities," Price said. "They're not taking this debt with them to the grave." Now that the board has taken their official vote on the project, $35 million will be immediately going to each of the UT campuses for financial aid. The Board said more than 7 million Texas families will be eligible for this expanded program. The board also said they're not done with the project and will continue to look for ways to build on the endowments to increase the income level they provide free tuition to. Meanwhile, nearly a dozen members of the Texas House reportedly issued a letter to Eltife asking for clarification and more information regarding the program.LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Broncos are 0-4 in Las Vegas, but in a matchup of teams heading in opposite directions, Denver has more at stake than trying to end a series skid. A victory over the Raiders puts the Broncos that much closer to an unexpected playoff berth, playing with a rookie quarterback and just a year after they went 8-9. The Broncos are 6-5 and coming off a 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons , and would be in the playoff field if the season ended entering Week 12. Not bad for a team given a win total of 5 1/2 games at BetMGM Sportsbook. “Everyone understands the significance of where we are at this point in the season,” Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said. The situation is quite different for the Raiders. They are 2-8, on a six-game losing streak and decimated by injuries. Las Vegas could enter this game without its top two running backs and a reshuffled line on offense, and defensively, the Raiders could have two linemen, three cornerbacks and a safety out of action. “Just been having some bad breaks, but nobody feels sorry for us,” Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said. "Nobody feels sorry for me. You’ve got to roll out there with 11 players, and that’s what we’re going to do come Sunday.” The Raiders are badly in a need of a franchise quarterback and are in a logjam for the top pick in next year's NFL draft. Denver showed with this year's draft how valuable landing such a QB can be to an organization. Bo Nix was selected 12th — one spot ahead of the Raiders — and he is pushing for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was this week's top AFC player and rookie after completing 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in the rout of the Falcons. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach (Sean Payton) and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field and what we can execute," Nix said. "Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle.” Raiders tight end Brock Bowers also could have a say in who wins the season's top offensive rookie award. He is second in the NFL with 70 catches and his 706 yards receiving is 10th among all receivers. His numbers from a historical perspective are even more impressive. Bowers, the 13th pick in this year's draft , is fourth all time among all tight ends in catches through the first 11 weeks and he and Jeremy Shockey in 2002 are the only rookies at that position to have more than one game with at least 10 receptions. “This week's a brand new week,” Bowers said. “I've always got something to prove.” Payton still isn't entirely comfortable splitting carries between running backs Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime. Asked how he determines the right balance in his rotation, Payton said, “That's the $6 million question. It’s difficult. We know kind of what we have with those three players. I think it’s always hard to feed three. "I'm used to — and it’s easy — to feed two. So we kind of do that a little bit. I thought Javonte had some really good runs (last week). Certainly the game ends and we’re like, ‘Gosh, we have to get Jaleel more touches.’ So it’s a tough, but a good problem to have.” With injuries to running backs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps), 10-year veteran Ameer Abdullah could get the start for the Raiders this weekend. He has just 17 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown this season and started just one game his previous six seasons. “I see myself as a starter,” Abdullah said. “I think every guy in the room does. I consider myself the best back on this team just like every back does. This is my opportunity to go out there and put my best foot forward.” Patrick Surtain II had a pair of interceptions, including one he returned for 100 yards and a touchdown, in the team's first meeting this season and that fueled the Broncos' 34-18 win in Denver . Both of the passes were intended for Bowers, who caught a 57-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Surtain isn't expecting the Raiders to avoid him Sunday, however. “You don't want to go into a game thinking they're not gonna throw it your way,” Surtain said, “because it's the pros at the end of the day, everybody's ready, everybody's capable.” AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Englewood, Colorado, contributed to this report.
