First and foremost: If you have Windows Media Player, check out this PSA from basketball hottie Steve Nash. “When the Suns get hot, that’s good. But when the earth gets hot, that’s bad.” Swoon!
Second and, uh, secondmost, there’s stuff out there about Beijing 2008 and London 2012. But there will be stories about the environmental impact of the Olympics ad nauseum in the future (perhaps even some from me!). Wouldn’t you rather read about the potential drawbacks of building a youth football field out of toxic coal ash in Versailles? (The one in Kentucky, that is.)
Third and thirdmost: If you haven’t already, check out our list of green sports stars, then get on our case about whom we missed. But please, no more soccer-bashing comments, like this one from fvanoly: “any activity that three year olds can do well and do as a team isn’t a real sport.” Them’s fightin’ words!
Also in sports-list comments: This reader suggests that Nascar should make a “sport villains” list. This writer disagrees. Meanwhile, Formula One looks to curb its emissions. Discuss.
(There’s a poll after the jump!)
Sorry, the poll you are seeking no longer exists. If you’re in a voting mood, suggest a poll and you might just see it on the site.
