Kahleah Copper will represent the Mercury in the WNBA All-Star Game today in Chicago.

Copper was not an initial All-Star selection but was named a replacement for Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum who is injured. Copper becomes just the eighth player in the team’s 30-year history to be named to multiple All-Star Games with the Mercury, the other being in 2024.

If Copper balls out, she could become the first Mercury player to ever be named All-Star Game MVP.

U.S. vs. Mexico: ‘War’ that ends at final whistle in Glendale

OPINION — On Saturday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., the United States’ men’s soccer team will play Mexico at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. On paper, it is a friendly. Nobody in my family has ever used that word for this game. Mexico can lose to the United States in almost any sport and take it well. Basketball, baseball, a bad night in the ring. We shake hands and go to dinner. Soccer is different.

Trump, GOP don’t embody the Cowboy Code

OPINION — I used to be a Republican. I voted for Ronald Reagan. To me, Reagan embodied the Cowboy Code of actor singer Gene Autry. The code included that the cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man or take unfair advantage. He must always tell the truth. He must help people in distress.
