Here are the games ABC just added to its schedule, which will also be aired on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.

The style on the streets at New York Fashion Week is often an indicator of what people will be wearing as fashion weeks continue in London, Milan and Paris. Based on the crowds outside the latest round of shows, which ended Wednesday, one might wonder if individuality is going out of fashion. While there were plenty of stylish people, the risk-taking that makes it fun to document street style felt a bit sparse. Among the most exciting trends was a fresh shape for women’s suit jackets, a sort of inverted triangle with wide shoulders and a narrower body. And more than a few looks incorporated fringe, suggesting the dawn of a new era for urban cowboys.

The Chesapeake cowboys rode into St. Michael’s, Md., on a steamy Sunday in August, and the air smelled like crab seasoning and diesel exhaust, with a dash of light beer and lime. A couple thousand spectators had gathered in the Colonial-era tourist town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, about 80 miles east of Washington, D.C., to watch the cowboys square off in a competition unique to the Chesapeake Bay: boat docking. They stood elbow to elbow on a lighthouse deck. A few brave onlookers balanced, precariously, atop dock pilings without spilling their drinks. played a love song to “long-neck, ice- cold beer.”“It’s redneck like NASCAR, just on the water,” one competitor, Ronnie Reiss, known as “Reissy Cup,” said on his boat, the May Worm.

CNN —Former National Football League reporter Jim Trotter filed a discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and NFL Media Tuesday, alleging that he was let go by the football league because he publicly challenged Commissioner Roger Goodell and other executives on the NFL’s “record of race discrimination and lack of diversity.”Trotter worked as a sports reporter for the NFL from 2018 until March. Trotter’s departure from NFL Media was one of many difficult decisions — similar to decisions recently made by many other media organizations — to address a challenging economy and a changing media environment,” an NFL spokesperson said. We take his concerns seriously, but strongly dispute his specific allegations, particularly those made against his dedicated colleagues at NFL Media,” a league spokesperson said. Trotter’s claim also seeks a full-scale investigation into discrimination within the NFL, including NFL team owners. “I hope this lawsuit leads to real change across the league and in the newsroom,” Trotter said in a statement.
