After announcing that Vanessa and Kobe Bryant had filed for divorce, the LA Times reported that the Lakers star’s soon-to-be ex-wife stands to collect a “windfall” during their settlement. Vanessa could indeed be awarded up to $75 million, but according to a blog post at the Times today, a reader pointed out — and rightly so — that the use of the word “windfall” smacked not just a little bit of sexism. more › See the original post here: LA Times Polices Itself Over Sexist Writing

It’s time for the new-look Los Angeles Clippers to take the big stage in their first regular season game against the Golden State Warriors. After acquiring All-Star point guard Chris Paul in the shortened offseason, the Clippers gave a brief preview of just how electrifying CP3 and Blake Griffin can be. With the additions of Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups, maybe, just maybe, the Clippers might be the team to watch in L.A. On the other end, it’s also a special night for the Warriors as former NBA guard and ESPN broadcaster Mark Jackson makes his debut as head coach. Despite an injured ankle, guard Stephen Curry plans to play after participating in the pregame walk-through. So how many alley-oops will we see from the Clippers? 6? 13? Will the Warriors stay strong at home? Or will the Clippers show us more of what’s to come? Stay tuned here for live updates throughout the game and tweet to @HuffPostSports to join in the conversation. The rest is here: Clippers vs. Warriors LIVE

OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland Mayor Jean Quan says the city would try to prevent future shutdowns at the port if port officials picked up the $1.5 million tab for the hundreds of police officers that would be needed. Quan also told the Chronicle that the city would probably not be able to prevent port closures anyway since a handful of protesters could sneak around police lines. Anti-Wall Street protesters blocked longshoremen from reporting to work for nearly 24 hours on Dec 12, shutting down much of the port. Police mostly stood back during the demonstration.
