☆ Dartmouth men's basketball team votes 13-2 in favor of first labor union for college athletes

Romeo Myrthil #20 (C) of the Dartmouth Big Green watches as his team play against Columbia Lions in their NCAA men's basketball game on February 16, 2024 in New York City. The Dartmouth Men's Basketball team voted 13-2 in favor of becoming the first-ever labor union for college athletes on Tuesday afternoon. The vote could present a huge shakeup to the National Collegiate Athletics Association's (NCAA) model, which currently only allows college athletes to financially benefit from their role on teams through name, image and likeness. "Because Dartmouth has the right to control the work performed by the Dartmouth men's basketball team, and the players perform that work in exchange for compensation, I find that the petitioned-for basketball players are employees within the meaning of the [National Labor Relations] Act," Sacks said in a statement. This isn't the first time a college athletics team has made a bid to be recognized as employees.

☆ Mohamed Kayongo: Former Ugandan boxing champion looks to the next generation

(CNN) Former professional boxer Mohamed Kayongo first got into boxing while spending time in the Ugandan government's army barracks, after the army had rescued him from the rebel groups that abducted him and trained him as a child soldier. Now, by mentoring young people in both Minneapolis, Minnesota in the US, and in his hometown of Kampala, Uganda, Kayongo is training the next generation to discover their own independence through boxing. Kayongo took up his role as a coach at Minneapolis' Northside Boxing Club after retiring from a successful career in boxing. In 2003, he launched a career as a professional boxer in Minnesota, eventually receiving US citizenship. "Once I got the freedom, I had to retire so I [could] pass it on to this coming generation," he said.
☆ Lesein Mutunkei: This teenager in Kenya is hoping to catch FIFA's attention -- but not for his football skills
  + stars: | 2022-07-26 | by ( Natalie Kainz | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
When Lesein Mutunkei scores a goal, he plants 11 trees – one to represent each player on his team. That same year, Mutunkei started Trees4Goals to mobilize young athletes in his region to take up his pledge of planting trees every time they score. He leads into a football game, and ends with a tree planting session. “It was almost a race to plant the trees,” Mutunkei said. Mutunkei receives messages from young athletes across the globe, saying they read his story and took up the challenge of Trees4Goals.
