NHL: Edmonton Oilers lost the opening game of the Stanley Cup Finals to Florida 3-0; they play tonight again in Florida.

A Spaniard wins the French Open (Tennis); also this weekend: lots golf and auto racing AND the Belmont Stakes.

I conclude that CC posters here would rather argue politics and other issues and prefer to ignore sports.

Well, sure, if you present it like that.

Have you considered posting some AI-generated 'Sports Art'.
That's always a crowd-pleaser.

There are tried and proven methods when it comes to advertising and generating interest.

Both genders enjoy images of attractive people of the opposite sex.

Men are a little more visually oriented than women, while women have stronger reactions to their other senses, but only to a degree.

And yes, the world needs more images that make people smile, if only for a few seconds, rather than the endless series of 2-minute hates that we are often exposed to.

JP, you are a really excellent photographer. I think your work speaks for itself, don't listen to the haters.

Besides, cheerleading is a sport, well, ...sort-of a dance-sport combination.

I hear you Duk but the history of women portrayed like this dates back to the 1500's (in western art and visual language) I appreciate the taking the break part but the image just perpetuates a crappy sterotype that little girls feel they have to aspire to and that is why I made the comment. If youre a reader pick up a copy of "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger. Its old but its a good primer. Its also based on a bbc show so you can find the shows on youtube

Boston is now up on Dallas in the NBA Finals 3-0 and is on the verge of Championship #18, putting them one ahead of the L.A. Lakers with the most NBA Titles.



Btw: RIP Jerry West



For the Stanley Cup, Florida goes to Edmonton, up 2-0 and they play tonight.
