Market bias limits black athletes in endorsements
A Chicago Bears star rejected a $7500 sports advisory offer after learning a white quarterback earned $15000 for the same role. Agents say advertisers fear markets biased against black athletes, though some progress has occurred as more blacks gain top earnings in sports. Prominent players like Sayers, Robertson, Aaron, and Gibson highlight ongoing disparities in endorsements and outside deals.

Bernice Gera poised to become first female pro baseball umpire
Bernice Gera, a 38 year old housewife, is set to become the first woman to umpire a professional baseball game this Friday in Auburn New York for the New York Penn League matchup between Auburn and Corning. She plans to work the bases and then call balls and strikes, facing skepticism from the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues while she pursues contract approval. Her husband supports her bid and she notes players have occasionally spoken to her with inappropriate remarks but she aims to be judged as an umpire first.
