Men’s College Gymnastics in Boise
Great news.
The Board of Directors (including Sho Nakamori) for the Boise Men’s Gymnastics Foundation (BMGF) has voted unanimously to operate its collegiate men’s gymnastics program as an independent team for the 2021-2022 season, free of affiliation with any specific university. …
Coach Chris Nagy has also announced that the program has adopted the Golden Eagle, a bird of prey native to the Boise area, as its mascot. The Golden Eagles’ new logo pictured above also reveals the new program’s iconic black and gold color scheme.

human rights in Qatar
Some boycotted World Championships hosted in Doha.
I did go. Hopeful that Qatar will be a leader of Muslim nations in improving human rights. Soon.
The 2022 World Cup is a MUCH BIGGER deal.
I expect changes to be made. Quickly.
- Norway donned shirts that said “Human rights on and off the pitch.”
- Germany spelled out “human rights” on their shirts.
- The Netherlands wore shirts that said, “Football supports change.”
