Chris: Nicely, I don’t know if the TVs are working within the newsroom but. So Wednesday, this could possibly be an issue as a result of that’s the subsequent listening to. We’ll need to hurry up and get thought, however

Laura: it’s at all times enjoyable to be in a newsroom in a communal area when that form of stuff is happening. Cuz it’s just like the, Hey, did you hear that?

Mm-hmm, form of, uh, it it’s while you’re glad that you simply. Are, you already know, it’s just like the adrenaline pumping newsroom form of

Leila: feeling. Let’s be sincere. Everyone seems to be so completely satisfied to be within the newsroom once more. That’s any work getting completed after we’re [00:01:00] all collectively.

Chris: anyway, really I believe there’s a lot of work getting completed.

Me. Individuals are gathering

Leila: and information you’re it’s it’s that form of work. It’s the, it’s the

Laura: dialogue. It’s not essentially exhibiting up on the web site on the precise second. Proper? It’s the opposite

Advertisement

Leila: sort. Yeah.

Chris: No, it’s the creativity, the creativity, the synergy, our reporting, and helps new reporters study the tradition and all that.

Yeah. Blah, blah. all proper. Let’s get began. Ohio is taking seemingly without end to get sports activities playing launched prefer it did with medical marijuana. How does Ohio examine to different states? Lisa? We have been simply curious to see if we’re laggards in all the pieces we do

Lisa: in Ohio. Nicely, we’re form of in the back of the pack, however there are some states that took quite a bit longer to roll out their, their, uh, sports activities betting.

Michigan took 399. And it was one other couple months earlier than that they had, uh, you already know, on-line playing. Um, Tennessee took 489 days from the time their laws was signed, [00:02:00] however they needed to construct their, their, uh, playing and on line casino factor from scratch. Cuz they didn’t have legalized playing within the state in any respect.

Advertisement

At the very least Cleveland does have on line casino playing. Um, on the brief facet, Iowa took solely 89 days. So just below three months to get theirs going and our subsequent door neighbor, Indiana a couple of hundred. 16 days, however yeah, in Ohio we’re ready. I imply, we’ve to have it up and working by January 1st of subsequent yr. So we, we’ve to hit that deadline.

Not that we did with me, medical marijuana, however, uh, it has been via that can be 374 days for the reason that invoice was signed in December, 2021. Um, there’s a. Enormous gauntlet that this course of has to go to, uh, lobbyists for bar homeowners. Andy hear says there’s numerous cooks within the kitchen and he’s proper. There’s the on line casino management fee that establishes guidelines and applicant {qualifications}.

Then there’s the frequent sense initiative that opinions the proposed state guidelines for enterprise results. The joint [00:03:00] committee on company rule assessment. Indicators off on the principles. And that features state lawmakers on that panel. After which the Ohio lottery fee that it regulates betting kiosks at bars and eating places.

They need to approve the kiosk distributors and pre-approve the companies that can have these kiosks. After which. The Ohio improvement division certifies if smaller corporations or smaller counties reasonably can assure or doc 4 million visits earlier than approving bodily websites in a few of these smaller counties.

So yeah, an enormous gauntlet to run via between now and January 1st. .

Chris: Yeah, it does appear that we’re at all times sluggish. On this case, you, you do hope they dot all of the I’s cross all of the Ts. There may be room for corrupt issues to occur right here and by placing in very robust guardrails and really clear techniques, in the event that they’re doing that might make this a greater, a greater play for Ohio.

Hey, and a minimum of they didn’t put the unemployment workplace answerable for it, cuz then it

Lisa: would by no means get completed effectively. And, and to be [00:04:00] honest, they have been saying, as a result of some states did a phased rollout the place they’d, you already know, do on-line first after which bodily, you already know, issues later. However you already know, Ohio officers say a phased rollout may have left bars and eating places out of the motion for a lot longer.

In order that they figured a common begin date for all kinds and, and varieties of be betting is the very best.

Chris: Okay, you’re listening to immediately in Ohio, we questioned final week, whether or not duplicity by the Houston Texans would possibly give the Browns a strategy to negate the controversial commerce for Deshaun Watson, with all of the controversy involving this quarterback, are the Browns attempting to get out of this mess, Layla?

Advertisement

No,

Leila: no, by no means. You recognize, the Browns seem like totally dedicated to their man. They’re not wavering from the metal. Let me remind everyone seems to be a completely assured 230 million contract. The Browns do have protections constructed into this contract that allow them to void it. If points come to gentle, that might stop him [00:05:00] from fulfilling his duties, however even the twenty fourth lawsuit.

Filed Wednesday towards Watson accusing him of sexual misconduct. Hasn’t given the Browns pause on both the contract or their commerce, which included sending three first spherical draft picks and three different picks to the Texans in change for Watson and a sixth rounder. Though the Texans will quickly be added to these lawsuits as a defendant accused of enabling Watson’s misconduct.

So Mary Kay Cabot says, at this level, it’s virtually a foregone conclusion that the NFL will droop Watson from the league both for a particular variety of video games or indefinitely. During which case he’d need to miss the whole 20, 22 season and he’d have to use for reinstatement afterward. He may be refind, however just about solely legal prices may change the best way the Browns really feel about Watson at this level.

And nobody expects that to return to go. Within the meantime, he’s simply schmoozing his teammates. He took all of them on, you already know, in all [00:06:00] bills paid journey to The Bahamas. They, they, they love him. They love him.

Chris: You recognize, I’ve acquired to inform you, I, I ship out a textual content message every morning about one thing we’re engaged on.

And final Thursday I despatched out a textual content concerning the Sean Watson and I acquired blitz by responses. And this isn’t a sports activities factor. This can be a information textual content, however greater than 150 responses on Friday, I despatched one thing else out individuals, as a substitute of responding to what I stated and stated, you already know, I need to discuss someplace about Watson and I acquired, you already know, in all probability one other 50 and it’s overwhelming.

They don’t need this. They, they, they, there are folks that suppose the Hass have made the worst choice within the historical past of soccer groups. There are individuals now calling for them to promote it as a result of it’s irrecoverable and it retains coming. And I simply, I I’m shocked that how vehement that is. And you already know, there, I believe they gambled that this is able to go away, like numerous sports activities controversies, however this one simply retains constructing.

I hold getting messages from individuals. When, for those who simply take a look at the ladies, [00:07:00] that’s, you already know, virtually all of ‘em are saying I’m completed with this workforce. I can’t consider they’ve betrayed me. I’ve been a fan without end. I’m shocked that they’re, they’re so able to say we’re standing by him as a result of they could have an out, they could be capable of get out of this.

And the truth that they haven’t any need to is a little bit of a shock, cuz it is a nightmare for them, proper. He’s in all probability not gonna play this yr. Proper. I imply

Advertisement

Leila: actually for the reason that begin of the me too motion. Are you able to consider anything like this? Are you able to consider another establishment or firm or, I imply, that, that has stood by somebody below circumstances like this?

I, I can not,

Chris: it’s worse. They went and recorded. You’re proper. That’s proper. These

Leila: circumstances below these circumstances,

Chris: proper? Yeah. I I, I simply, and, and it it’s so overwhelming what individuals need to say. So I used to be shocked at Mary Kay’s story. It’s similar to, oh no, they’re all in. They’re all in it. What, why, what are you considering for those who [00:08:00] have a attainable out, why wouldn’t you a minimum of discover it?

Advertisement

Uh, as a result of he won’t play this yr or subsequent yr. Who is aware of how lengthy this can go and also you gotta suppose there’ll be one other grand jury as a result of extra ladies are coming ahead and, you already know, ultimately. There could possibly be legal prices can be, which might be a recreation changer. Mm-hmm

Laura: I, I agree with all the pieces you guys have stated.

I additionally did learn Ted’s column Ted weight loss plan’s column on Sunday mm-hmm and I don’t typically say I agree with Ted and I don’t agree with all the pieces Ted stated, however I do suppose there’s an enormous contingent of brown spans that. If he will get to play they usually begin successful that it gained’t matter. And as unhappy, as disgusting as that’s, I do suppose that sentiment is on the market.

Agree, agree, overwhelming as the opposite stuff is. Positive. And I believe that they’ll lose numerous followers, however I believe there are different individuals that can facet with successful and, and the workforce for

Leila: stadium is not going to be empty. That’s certain. Proper.

Chris: I heard from folks that. I’ve I ha can’t keep in mind the final time I’ve disagreed with Ted [00:09:00] died in, however I believe he’s completely unsuitable on this case.

Uh, I believe Ted was manner

Lisa: off the mark. Oh, wow. I disagree with you. I believe he’s, you already know, I imply, there have been legal NFL gamers, you already know, which have really been convicted of a criminal offense and are nonetheless allowed to play. So yeah. And their followers are nonetheless going to the sport. So I believe Ted’s form of acquired his finger on it.

There, he goes to the sport, so he would know. I, I

Leila: don’t suppose that he ought to, I, I don’t consider the Browns, clearly. I believe this was a horrible selection and sure, and I don’t, if I have been a Browns fan, this is able to be the top of my, of my dedication to the Browns. And I, I believe, you already know, have numerous buddies who have been in the identical place, however I believe Ted is appropriate that numerous Browns followers is not going to lose their loyalty over this.

So I don’t suppose the stadium’s gonna be empty.

Chris: Mm-hmm [00:10:00] okay. You’re listening to immediately in Ohio. what do police take into consideration the talk over placing extra restrictions on gun tales, a debate that has been raging after some excessive profile mass shootings, Laura, it seems just like the, the leg, the legislators in Washington have provide you with a deal to do a few little issues.

Mm-hmm uh, however we wished to get. The concept of the police, as a result of they’re those that’ll be coping with any carnage that outcomes from the free wheeling gun local weather. And is it immediately or tomorrow? That hid carry is now permitless in Ohio.

Laura: I, I consider it’s immediately, immediately. And. And that is the ideas was the FOP.

Nicely, really I shouldn’t say the FOP, the police chiefs have been towards this invoice when it got here out, the legislation enforcement stated, you already know, we’re for the second modification, however we’re not for this invoice as a result of it depends, permits individuals to hold weapons with none form of coaching. And that’s. You recognize that they’re, they’re very cautious of what this might imply.

Advertisement

So [00:11:00] Olivia Mitchell and Kay, Remington talked to a bunch of police officers about their emotions they usually do really feel conflicted they usually did foyer towards this. They stated, we’re all for freedom of speech, however we don’t need somebody yelling fireplace in a crowded theater that was Lakewood captain William Albrecht.

It’s the identical with second modification legislation enforcement helps it, however like the liberty of speech, there needs to be frequent sense concerned when one thing is selecting to legally train this. Proper. So. As a result of below pers carry the, throughout the site visitors stops drivers, don’t have to inform officers that they’ve a weapon until they’re requested first, which you gotta suppose that’s gonna be the very first thing they begin asking, they usually can carry a weapon with out coaching.

When you’re 21 and older, that had been required, uh, six in a classroom and two, one organized for anyone to do it earlier than.

Chris: So that you suppose that’s gonna be the primary query please ask, can they pull you

Laura: over now? You have got a, can I see your license? I believe it’s gonna be, do you could have a weapon?

Advertisement

Chris: Wow. That’ll be, uh, that’ll be fascinating.

I did, I obtained a be aware from a reader over the weekend that stated, you already know, with all of the discuss permitless carry [00:12:00] individuals have the concept that that’s simply freewheeling. Anyone can seize a gun, however there are some fundamental obligations that anyone with. A gun has. I imply, you’re supposed to maintain it locked up and away from kids and also you, you may’t simply level it round willy-nilly they usually prompt that we put collectively a listing of the essential obligations you could have, in case you are a firearms

Laura: proprietor, a good suggestion.

Nicely, simply, I agree, however is {that a} duty or is {that a} legislation? I imply, the entire level of the hid carry coaching was to show you to be a accountable gun.

Chris: proper, however since you’re not getting that coaching now, they’re suggesting that, that we may assist do a public service. If we lay out a number of the fundamental obligations you do have when you’re carrying round a firearm or in possession of a firearm.

So it’s one thing we in all probability ought to do in all probability ought to have completed it earlier than immediately. you’re listening to immediately in. With most primaries over within the November contest, largely set, not for the legislative [00:13:00] places of work in Ohio. We’ve our first take a look at which candidates have probably the most marketing campaign cash to spend who’s forward in the important thing statewide races for Senator governor and chief justice of the Ohio Supreme court docket.

Nicely, uh, the

Lisa: article didn’t have any, uh, figures on the Senate. So, I assume we’ll ignore that one. However, um, so yeah, taking a look at these races, um, and the cash that they’ve raised, the Republicans are clearly out raised within the Democrats right here in Ohio for governor Dwin. He raised 2 million within the final three months.

He has 7 million available. He spent about 3.1 million on the first election, his democratic C opponent N whale raised half of what he raised within the final three months at 1 million, however she spent about 520. Thousand on the primaries. And she or he solely has about $728,000 in money available, however she owes about half of that to marketing campaign distributors, wanting on the secretary of state race.

Frank LaRose raised about $321,000. He has virtually. $2 million within the financial institution, his [00:14:00] democratic opponent, uh, Cincinnati Councilwoman, Chelsea Clark. She raised a mere $26,100 solely has $34,800 in her marketing campaign chest for legal professional common, Dave Yoast. He raised 150, $2,000 within the final. Three months near $2 million in his financial institution.

After which his, uh, democratic challenger parer state consultant, Jeff Crossman. He solely has about $129,700 in money available. He raised about 54,000 within the final. Three months wanting on the chief justice race, Republican Sharon Kennedy. She raised about $186,000, however she has $812,000 in money. Um, that compares to her democratic, uh, challenger, Jennifer Bruner.

She has about, she raised about the identical sum of money within the final three months, however she solely has about 400,000 in money on.

Chris: what, and also you’re proper. The federal places of work have a distinct [00:15:00] deadline. I shouldn’t have requested concerning the Senate. The, the, the issue with these figures is that a lot cash is spent by exterior teams that this may be deceptive.

Just like the, within the chief justice race, we count on tens of millions of {dollars} to be spent on that by exterior teams, attempting to assist steer that race. That it, that could be a bit tougher to trace. Uh, so, so sure, they elevate their cash, they put their message on the market, however in the long run, it’s, it’s extra a product of, of outdoor

Lisa: forces.

Advertisement

Proper. And evidently the skin forces are largely betting on Republicans this time. I imply, Democrats are drawing some out of state cash, however not practically as a lot.

Chris: all proper. You’re listening to immediately in Ohio. Cleveland is shifting forward with a considerable capital spending price range, greater than 50 million.

What’s it gonna pay for Layla?

Leila: Nicely,

yeah, metropolis co metropolis council permitted this listing of tasks final week and, and the one which. Courtney Stealy signaled on that she thought readers would discover most [00:16:00] pleasant after all, is the restoration of the historic Euclid seashore arch that also stands at what was as soon as the doorway of the previous lake entrance amusement park.

Advertisement

On Cleveland’s Northeast facet, it’s going to be restored after which relocated. Additional into the grounds of the U of Euclid seashore, which is now occupied by the Cleveland Metro parks. It was constructed between 1895 and the Nineteen Twenties. It form of is dependent upon who you ask and, and the, the amusement park closed in 1969. So we thought numerous nostalgic Clevelanders would like that concept, however that’s simply one of many tasks that Justin bib is, uh, has pitched.

Uh, the west facet market is gonna have 4 and a half million {dollars} price of repairs. Hearth station repairs, some recreation facilities are going to get, uh, full renovations. The police sta stables will get $2 million in, in, uh, website repairs and development and, uh, and issues like that. So she has the entire listing of tasks on, on cleveland.com.

Chris: Is that this, that is their [00:17:00] ever, they bond the cash each couple years. They usually, they put a poor lot of it into the capital. Precisely. This isn’t

Leila: stimulus. No, no. Yeah. And actually, evidently there was, there have been fairly a couple of tens of millions that have been left over from previous tasks that, uh, both, you already know, they put aside cash for value overruns that by no means got here to go, or, you already know, they simply had a bit of bit left over that.

Moved ahead into this price range and have been in a position to perform a little bit additional with it. Uh, metropolis council was type of scratching their heads about that, you already know, like, wait a minute. Does this imply that we missed out on not utilizing this surpass tasks, however you already know, metropolis, the town was like, you hear. We we’re gonna spend this on really fixing up our metropolis.

Don’t don’t don’t second. Guess it like, effectively, let’s transfer ahead. And, uh, and, and do do what’s proper with this cash. So, so yeah,

Chris: there was all proper. I’m I’m not a local Cleveland deer, although I’ve been right here for. Nearly half my life. So, so for the native Clevelanders, what’s the significance of that arch?

Nicely, [00:18:00]

Lisa: I oh, oh, okay. No, no,

Leila: please. Lisa, I don’t know a lot about

Advertisement

Lisa: Euclid seashore. Oh, okay. Yeah. And Euclid seashore was the place we went as youngsters till it closed in 1969. So anyone in my age group and, you already know, boomers of a sure age, that it’s an enormous deal. And for those who see the place the arch is now, There are residences behind it.

I imply, you already know, it has no bodily connection to the precise Euclid seashore park now as a result of the amusement park, after all, you already know, sh once they shut that it shrank the world. So, yeah, it’s sitting simply, like I stated, in entrance of some condo buildings. .

Chris: So this was a standard Nineteen Fifties period form of amuse park.

Laura: Yeah, it, it was, and it had, you already know, it had an enormous coaster that drew individuals. I imply, it began like Cedar pointed, individuals have been coming to the seashore for the water after which it simply grew and grew and grew. And at one level it was like this big political Mecca too. Like, that is the place all of the politicians would cease by once they have been campaigning.

I believe Kennedy was there at one level. So, um, yeah, it has an enormous. [00:19:00] Essential position in numerous Cleveland’s reminiscences of like good occasions and summer season. And

Advertisement

Chris: that’s the one the place the carousel was preserved and yeah, that’s

Laura: now on the Western reserve historic affiliation. So,

Chris: okay. Gonna protect that arch you’re listening to immediately in Ohio, what are the info within the unusual story of a hello school scholar who may spend a very long time in jail over the dying of a child?

She says she has no reminiscence of getting. Laura Corey Schaffer wrote a narrative that raised very critical questions concerning the proof used to steer her to take a responsible

Laura: plea. Yeah. This can be a fascinating story. Um, a 19 yr outdated school, freshman she’s 4 foot 11, and about 110 kilos had no thought she was pregnant.

Advertisement

She thought she had unhealthy interval cramps. She thought she was constipated. After which she gave beginning in her dorm toilet in October of 2019. And the newborn was present in a trash bag later. The query. Is whether or not the newborn was born reside or nonetheless, nonetheless born. [00:20:00] And so the medical expert’s workplace used this take a look at referred to as a float take a look at, uh, wanting on the lungs to see in the event that they floated.

And this concept can be if that they had air in them, in the event that they floated that the newborn had been alive exterior the womb, however. This has been used for the reason that 17 a whole lot, however it’s wildly, broadly, uh, considered discredited as a result of there’s numerous ways in which air could possibly be pressured into, uh, child’s lungs,

Chris: proper? Simply, simply the, the beginning course of.

Mm-hmm as a result of it’s can, can squeeze there’s a pure, um, uh, import. And I believed it was fascinating that our very personal coroner, the man that runs the workplace has signed an affidavit saying it is a discredited take a look at. And but. It was his workplace that used this to say, this child was born alive.

Laura: Proper? Trigger the Portage county medicals examiner went to the Cuyahoga county examiner to make use of this.

Advertisement

And also you’re proper. He’s amongst 46 medical experts, coroners [00:21:00] professors and forensic pathologists who signed a letter that stated, this isn’t legit, however they nonetheless used it in court docket. And, um, I, I perceive it’s such a bizarre case as a result of she. Completely didn’t know she was pregnant and never even after the very fact, she saved saying I wasn’t pregnant.

She’s been identified with psychosis, native amnesia. She’d been admitted into the hospital psychiatric unit. So I don’t suppose we’re coping with somebody who, you already know, can inform us what occurred right here, however she faces a jail sentences as much as 16 and a half years in jail based mostly on her plea to involuntary manslaughter.

What’s bizarre is there was simply one other case two weeks earlier than she was set to go to trial that in Giah county, they convicted a 51 yr outdated lady of homicide for leaving a new child in a dumpster in 1993, it took her this lengthy to be came upon who she was. And so perhaps that form of performed into, effectively, let’s simply plead responsible as a result of she’s getting life in jail.

Chris: Yeah. Though, is that basically one of the simplest ways to serve [00:22:00] justice? No, I don’t scare the defendant so badly. That they take a plea. I imply, up till then, the protection was saying you don’t have proof, this, this child was born alive. Mm-hmm that the, the take a look at you’re utilizing is just not lifelike. And if they’d’ve been in a position to go to a jury, they could have been in a position to discredit it.

However with what the Juga county lady acquired, they acquired scared. And they also took a plea that that’s not justice that’s that’s playing, you already know, within the case

Leila: of this, this school lady, it strikes me that. Preponderance of the proof of her psychosis must be sufficient in her protection as a result of it doesn’t matter if the newborn was born alive or nonetheless, I imply, her, she, if she was psychotic when this occurred, I imply, that, that’s actually the query, proper?

uh, yeah, completely.

Laura: And, and, and what hazard is she to society at that? I imply, she must be

Leila: ized hazard to herself. She must be hospitalized. Precisely. I imply, I, I lined instances like that. I keep in mind a [00:23:00] case I lined. The place, uh, there was a mom who drowned her two kids, um, and he or she was hospitalized, uh, in, in per perpetuity.

I imply, that was, that was her sentence that she was deemed to have been. Uh, and I believe it was the one case I, I ever recall the place, the place that was the result. She was not in jail. She was. You recognize, that was the

Advertisement

Laura: sentence, proper? Like what good goes to return of sending

Leila: this. Proper. And so is it actually the query of whether or not or not, you already know, ought to she be actually going through a legal cost at, you already know, legal sentence like that we must be discussing?

I imply, clearly the psychosis is the, is the query, proper? I, I don’t know. I

Chris: am. Nicely, however, but when the newborn was not born alive, then there isn’t any crime, or I assume there’s abuse of a corpse or one thing like that. I, I, I, I believe that the, the prosecutors, the detectives, that they had an obligation to determine that out earlier than continuing.

You’re proper. What she’s. Obtained psychosis. She wants remedy. But when the newborn wasn’t born [00:24:00] alive, it is a fully completely different case. They usually haven’t confirmed the newborn

Advertisement

Laura: was born alive. They haven’t, however Corey Schaeffer wrote the story and he did a extremely good job speaking to individuals. They usually stated there are generally no strategy to know, such as you, that scientifically you can not show this a technique or one other.

And

Chris: so then you could have the presumption of innocence on this nation. So for those who can’t show a criminal offense occurred, you don’t simply say, effectively, let’s go together with the crime occurred. You go. The crime didn’t occur, proper? It looks as if a, a extremely miscarriage of justice by the Portage county prosecutor’s workplace. Nice stuff by Corey Shafer, take a look at the story.

It’s on cleveland.com. You’re listening to immediately in Ohio. Does Cleveland abruptly have a Seattle fetish what’s with all of the Alaskan air tickets being offered to go there. Lisa, this isn’t a kind of tales that. Looks like a pure, effectively,

Lisa: apparently the Cleveland Seattle route is fairly busy anyway, however, uh, Alaska airways is beginning a brand new day by day nonstop route between Cleveland and Seattle begins this [00:25:00] Thursday.

Advertisement

That is the primary time that they’ve had a nonstop path to Seattle since United closed its hub at Hopkins in 2014, the airport has been working diligently to get day by day yr spherical service again for a number of years. Seattle is the highest market. Unserved by nonstop service from Hopkins. So even with out Alaska’s service, 300 individuals a day fly between the 2 cities.

The Alaska service will add 178 seats every manner. And this comes regardless of Alaska slicing their summer season schedule by 2%, as we all know, all airways are affected by staffing, shortages, canceled flights, and numerous them are trimming their summer season schedule.

Dawn Staley offers insightful commentary on Caitlin Clark's Olympic snub

Dawn Staley offers insightful commentary on Caitlin Clark's Olympic snub


In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, the media was saturated with contentious arguments about Caitlin Clark’s omission from the U.S. women’s basketball team. The debate devolved into a pointless back-and-forth, exploited for cultural warfare.

The debate centered on the paradox of Clark being both highly qualified and overlooked. While arguments were rooted in both basketball performance and external factors, the discussion spiraled into a full-blown media frenzy. That saw the likes of Stephen A. Smith, Colin Cowherd, and Tony Kornheiser vehemently criticize Team USA for passing on such a significant marketing opportunity, let alone talent.

As other sports media figures suggested, NBC could have capitalized on Clark’s popularity by hiring her as an analyst if ratings/marketing were a primary concern. However, other considerations likely influenced the decision, and it might have proved challenging to justify overlooking established WNBA players who have already cut their teeth in professional basketball and with Team USA.

In any event, the discourse ultimately reached its plateau, as Clark’s going to Paris wasn’t in the cards. But that discourse has come back to life, thanks in part to NBC’s Mike Tirico, who asked South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley, a member of the USWNT selection committee, about her read on Clark being left off the team.

“As a committee member, you’re charged with putting together the best team of players — the best talent,” she said.
“Caitlin is just a rookie in the WNBA; she wasn’t playing bad, but wasn’t playing like she’s playing now. If we had to do it all over again, the way that she’s playing, she would be in really high consideration of making the team because she is playing head and shoulders above a lot of people.

“Shooting the ball extremely well; I mean, she is an elite passer. She’s just got a great basketball IQ. And she’s a little more seasoned in the pro game in a couple of months than she was two months ago.”

It shouldn’t be surprising that Staley handled this situation with grace and offered insightful perspective on Clark’s significant growth since the initial snub. Whether her development is directly linked to the Olympic omission is irrelevant, but Staley’s acknowledgment highlights why she has such a high standing in women’s basketball.

Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland gets $49M makeover: Can it compete with the big leagues?

Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland gets M makeover: Can it compete with the big leagues?


CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The newly renovated Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland celebrated its grand opening and expansion on Friday after an 18-month, $49 million project.

The revamped space boasts massive, sun-drenched ballrooms, flexible meeting rooms, and a rooftop terrace with stunning city views.

But the question remains: Can this revitalized venue compete with larger convention centers in cities like Las Vegas and Chicago?

The former Global Center for Health Innovation, once considered a “ghost town,” has been transformed into a modern event space.

A spokesperson for the convention center said the failed Medical Mart project provided an opportunity to “reimagine that space as part of the convention center.”

The county hired a third-party company to assess the best use of the space, ultimately deciding that bigger, more flexible convention space was the key to attracting major events and boosting the local economy.

Mayor Justin Bibb hailed the renovation as “an amazing example of Cleveland’s economic comeback.” The center has already booked 62 future events, showing promising signs of success.

However, Cleveland faces stiff competition. Las Vegas boasts 3 million square feet of exhibit space and hosts over 20,000 conventions annually.

Chicago’s McCormick Place has 2.6 million square feet, and even San Antonio’s convention center offers over half a million square feet.

While the Huntington Convention Center has seen a slight increase in conferences this year, hosting 59 compared to 55 during the same period last year, it remains to be seen whether this makeover is enough to secure Cleveland’s position as a prime convention destination.

19 News will continue to follow this story and assess the impact of this major investment on Cleveland’s economy.
