It’s 11/11/11…make a wish? How about thanking a veteran? Sports labor battles are not only occurring in the United States. The Israeli women’s basketball league is currently on strike. I am already looking forward to the 2012 World Baseball Classic…if Israel is able to successfully lobby its way into the event. Kudos to Shawn Green, […]
