Checking in on Summer Sports, with Ibrahim Abdul Matin

The World

At this point in the most summers, Sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin would be turning his attention to the first glimmers of football season, and to Tiger Woods, the shining star of golf.   But with an NFL lockout, a looming NBA stoppage, and a little firecracker from Northern Ireland taking over the links… It’s a very different sports summer.   So what DOES a sports-watcher watch?   According to Ibrahim: Dodgeball, Cycling, and Badminton.
