| | rantnrave:// Wasn't watching CAVS-CELTICS Tuesday night when GORDON HAYWARD fractured his ankle. News came quickly, though. TWITTER exploded. People shocked how horrible it was. Turned to TNT to see how the game would proceed, how BOSTON would cope, but hoping I wouldn't see replays. Went out of my way to avoid replays. NBA games aren't the place for gore. Get enough of that with NARCOS. Is there a point to re-showing gruesome injuries? How much news value is there to the replay? The injury is news. Is the video? Is it voyeurism? CBS showed two replays of KEVIN WARE's injury in the 2013 NCAA TOURNAMENT and in slo-mo. Who hasn't seen the JOE THEISMANN hit? What's the point? GETTY has a photo of Hayward's mangled foot in its collection. Should media run it? Maybe it depends on the sport. In basketball, these injuries are freak accidents. Remembered because of how rare they are. If you wanna see it, you can find it on your own. They aren't representative of the sport. Is that an argument for showing ugly injuries in football, where breaks and tears and dislocations are a more significant part of the game? To show them to remind viewers how physically destructive the sport can be? And boxing, and hockey. NFL RED ZONE just moves on when there's an injury, flipping from one game to another. Out of sight, out of mind. Feels like how the NFL treats the injured. In some sports we can't forget how players get injured. In others we forget all too fast. Do we need to see it again, though?... The #MeTOO movement has no boundaries and it has a high-profile athlete as a spokeswoman. OLYMPIC gold medal gymnast MCKAYLA MARONEY alleged she was molested by former US GYMNASTIC team doctor LARRY NASSAR. He's been accused of sexual abuse by more than 125 women... CHRISTIAN DAWKINS is a hustler at the heart of the FBI's NCAA fraud investigation. YAHOO SPORTS' PETE THAMEL profiles the 24-year-old snared by the feds and unravels some of the mystery on how college basketball's financial scheme works. It's CATCH ME IF YOU CAN x BLUE CHIPS... CHRIS LONG puts his money where his mind is... Always time for sportsmanship... RICK PITINO has no knowledge of anything people say Rick Pitino did wrong. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |

| NBA players and owners have a chance to reset an uncomfortable conversation about systematic racism when the season tips off this week. The league has watched with great interest at how the NFL has struggled with Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem, seeing a protest initially motivated by racial injustice and police brutality transformed into an argument about a perceived disrespect for the American flag and perceived anti-patriotism. | | |

| Stan and Jeff Van Gundy make up the most unlikely power duo in the NBA. Neither of the basketball lifers has the look of a typical basketball power broker. One is known for his rumpled suits and off-the-cuff manner; the other is a balding 55-year-old with an acerbic wit. | | |

| The 21-year-old Maroney accuses Larry Nassar, former doctor for USA Gymnastics, of molesting her beginning at age 13 and continuing to do so throughout her time in the sport – including during the Olympic Games in London. She accuses him of giving her a sleeping pill on a trip to Tokyo, and then giving her “treatment” in his hotel room. “I thought I was going to die that night,” she writes. She was 15 at the time. | | |
