Italy President Sergio Mattarella congratulates 3-moves draughts World Champion Michelle Borghetti.

It doesn't happen very often when politics pay attention to checkers and it is a great thing that Miki try to beat this attitude!

I wish it would happen that mind sports were honored.

Then I read yesterday that at the University of Alabama, the university president is paid about $500,000 and the football coach is paid about $6,000,000.

Is there something wrong with this picture, and does it say something about our values?
