NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When Liz Benn first helped establish the Take the Field program in 2018, there weren’t many people who looked like her in baseball.

According to Whoscored statistics from the 1-0 defeat, Rashford registered only 22 touches with 11 successful passes at St James’ Park.…

He even went as far as proclaiming White is “worried” about the competition the UFC now faces. While PFL certainly has a deeper roster now than it had previously, as well stars like Francis Ngannou and Jake Paul on the roster, the UFC CEO doesn’t seem all that impressed by the deal, much less concerned…

So much of the free-agent market centers on age: How long a team signs a guy for often depends on how young he is. Every year can count. Every year makes a huge difference.
