Today’s issue of The Sports Examiner reads:
● U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee ● Two Congressional hearings are scheduled this week as follow-ups to the report of the Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics, primarily focused on continuing questions of athlete abuse.
On Wednesday (20 March), a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Data Security, will have a 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time) hearing titled “Promoting a Safe Environment in U.S. Athletics.”
On Thursday, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will have a hearing on “Timeout: Evaluating Safety Measures Implemented to Protect Athletes” at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.
The Associated Press reported on draft legislation that would follow up on the Commission report recommendations for federal funding for SafeSport, a new federal agency to govern youth sports and create a fully independent Athletes Advisory Commission. The name of the “Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act” would also be changed.
The Associated Press article, written by Eddie Pells, is titled “Olympic law rewrite calls for Public Funding for SafeSport and federal grassroots sports office.”
Would the name of the “Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act” also be changed??
The Final Report of the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics suggests the “Ted Stevens Olympic and Paralympic Sports Act.”
AP’s Eddie Pell proposed the “Ted Stevens Olympic, Paralympic, and Grassroots Sports Act.”
A decade from today, the Act could be changed to the “Ted Stevens Olympic, Paralympic, Deaflympic, Special Olympic and Enhanced Games Sports Act.”
Stop suggesting!
Just think of either the “Ted Stevens Olympic Sports Act” or the “Ted Stevens Sports Act.”
Read my reason in my issue - Ted Stevens Olympic and Paralympic Sports Act-??????? (dated March 15, 2024)
