It is not a diversion, however a mirrored image, a mirror picture. The wars between nations, sometimes settled on battlefields, generally in stadiums. In Roque Babauta, we see echoes of Vivian Richards, John Carlos and Tommie Smith, Muhammad Ali and others who stood for issues that sometimes waited simply outside the consciousness of the time and fought in opposition to the prejudices of the time. In their fights, and with Roque’s gamble, his problem to essentially the most highly effective nation on this planet, he is reminding us that there is a lot more at stake in sports than just the score.

USC’s resurgence as college football’s most hated team: ‘Sports needs villains’

LOS ANGELES — Berry Tramel is on the phone, rattling off the first month of USC’s schedule with ease.

The Oklahoman sports columnist knows Sooners fans don’t have much faith in Rice on Sept. 3 but are more hopeful Stanford or Fresno State can score an upset over the Trojans in the subsequent weeks. Or maybe Oregon State in Corvallis in Week 4?

Tramel is confident most Oklahoma fans have committed USC’s early schedule to memory. He’s even more confident in what their feelings about the Trojans will be this fall.

Although his recent results in the octagon haven’t been his best, “The Notorious” isn’t ready for his last MMA memory to be one of him getting stretched out of the cage.

1. With the NFL preseason coming to an end this past weekend, Monday marked a reset of the football calendar.

Major cuts are coming, rosters will be set and the next game we’ll see will be the regular-season opener between the Bills and Rams on Sept. 8.
