El Centro Cultural Cubano’s Fascinating and Comprehensive Re-Visiting of Cuban Baseball History

New York—Although it is impossible to review nearly 150 years of history in a single day, the nine hours of the conference between the honoring of Esteban Bellán at 9 AM and the tribute to Orestes “Minnie” Miñoso at 7 PM at Saturday’s X Congress of the Centro Cultural Cubano de Nueva York at Fordham [...]

Warrior Hits Home

There has been a great debate over the legalization of Mixed Martial Arts as a professional sport in New York.  One of the arguments is that it is too violent still, despite the regulations put in by virtually every state athletic commission in the country.

It’s time for DC United to grind out some wins

DC United have talked about needing to make a “move” in the standings for the last few months to make the playoffs. And while the results and performances in that same time frame have ranged from bad to brilliant, talk time is over. Too many draws, too many squandered points, especially at home to reach [...]

DeRosario’s leadership opens chances for others

Dwayne DeRosario has energized a respectable but uninspired attack and is the first DC United player since perhaps Jaime Moreno and Christian Gomez in their prime that is a true game changer and match winner.

Soehn brings memories to DC

Tom Soehn left DC United just two seasons ago, but with all of the drama surrounding the franchise since his departure, it seems like eons ago. Harkening back however, his six years here as an assistant and later head coach were not void of their own drama but quite productive. While Soehn served as Peter [...]

DeRosario and team heroics salvage short-handed tie 3-3

DC United had not won a league home game since May 4th and Toronto FC had not won a road game since defeating United in last year’s finale. So something had to give as the two squared off in the humid and heavy air of RFK Stadium on Saturday, right? Nope. Not this year. The [...]

United seeks killer instinct at home

It is a soccer cliché to go for the win at home and a tie away, but not for Ben Olsen’s DC United. For whatever reason, probably a reflection of their coach’s hardnosed attitude, United’s players come out tough as visitors and have earned their superior away record. They are well aware of their own [...]
