...cope with the change, clubs in both codes are increasingly appointing Maori and Islander men to their administrative staffs. "I think that's a really good idea," says Tuqiri. "We do hear and interpret things differently at times. It's not racism, but it can be easier to talk to someone of the same cultural background." Justifying his decision to leave Canterbury, Williams said the club was underpaying many of the players, and "I think it is my duty to speak up, especially for the Polynesian boys...
...Rove's access to his old employers and peers makes his job easier, but it also carries risks.

Now, that's a metaphor - but it's also good tax policy. Unlike John McCain, I want to make it easier for rich people to go to heaven...
Players may just have to accept the inferior stuff, however, since the ITTF is on a crusade to make table tennis more fan - and viewer - friendly. Releasing fewer toxic fumes into the air is one step. They also want to make the action a little easier to follow. After making its Olympic debut in Seoul in 1988, officials decided it was too hard to follow the fast-flying ball as it zipped from one end of the table to the other, so for the 2000 Games, they increased the regulation ball size to 40mm so even the most glassy-eyed...
