Taboos softening in macho world

SportsAnna: Hockey and professional sports generally have been considered one of the last bastions of homophobia. It's a hyper-masculinized world where gay slurs fill the air, conformity is required and career prospects are so fragile that everyone goes along to get along.

Spirit of Jake Plummer: John Daly Guest-Blogs

SportsAnna: A few weeks ago, Spirit of Jake Plummer tracked down one of its favourite athletes, John Daly, hoping he could give us an inside look at this year's PGA Championship. When we found Daly, face down in a pool of urine wearing only a g-string made out of candy, he quickly agreed.
'Aren't you the guy who lost at the Olympics?'
08/12/2008 03:22pm - via http://www.theglobeandma... - Details
SportsAnna: Eventually even the most decorated Olympic athlete is forced to tackle the frightening prospect of landing a postpodium career. Some keep on the straight and narrow, and pursue a coaching career in their sport. Others try something totally different.
No, Mark Spitz Will Not Go Quietly. And Why Should He?
08/12/2008 08:02pm - via http://deadspin.com/5035... - Details
SportsAnna: It's easy to write off Spitz as an egocentric lout. But people tend to forget that in the early '70's Spitz was considered by many the greatest athlete in history, and it has to be hard to give that up without a fight.

SportsAnna: The Olympics are known for bringing people, cultures and sports together. And the athletes' village is where the sculpted bodies really unite.

Mongolia 2, Canada 0

SportsAnna: Wow, Canada really sucks. And as a country with the "just try your hardest" mentality, nobody seems to care too much about this epic failure. 332 athletes, yet none can produce a single medal.
Olympics: PM not ready to give up
08/15/2008 06:46pm - via http://slam.canoe.ca/sla... - Details
SportsAnna: Canada has yet to bring home any medals from Beijing. Opposition MPs say that while our athletes are setting Canadian records and giving us much to be proud of, the time has come to invest seriously in sports.
Politics unravels aboriginal athlete's plan to wear traditional garb
08/19/2008 03:28pm - via http://www.theglobeandma... - Details
SportsAnna: The tasselled, traditional Metis garment has fallen victim to the political winds of the first Olympics to be held in authoritarian China. Athletes are under too much pressure to avoid statements of any kind, lest the Games' hosts be offended.
Gay Olympians in short supply

SportsAnna: Some gay athletes fear that coming out would bring disapproval from fans and team mates, others worry about the damage to endorsements. Unwarranted media attention could also detract from their performance.

SportsAnna: In bloated, panting-for-breath retrospect, it was crazy to think I could match Michael Phelps. Not in the pool, of course. That would just be stupid. No, I had the audacity to think I could tackle Phelps at the kitchen table.

Broadcasters earn Olympic gold in tear-jerking
08/21/2008 04:30pm - via http://olympics.thestar.... - Details
SportsAnna: We're 13 days into the Beijing Games and sob-story overload is starting to kick in. You wonder why those Chinese police are carting off protesters when the real guys who should be in custody are the announcers who keep making over-wrought references to athletes overcoming career-threatening hamstring injuries or season-ending hangnails.
