  • Henry Cotton, MBE. the Public Schoolboy Who Changed the Face of Professional Golf
    Henry Cotton, MBE. The public schoolboy who changed the face of professional golf. Barred from a clubhouse, he picknicked from the boot of his Rolls Royce out of a hamper from Fortnum & Masons. Married to an Argentinian heiress Sir Henry Cotton lived life as he loved it - luxuriously and to the full. Friend of Kings, partner to Princes, no one has done more to bring the game within reach of all levels of society. The year ended sadly with the death of one of golf's greatest characters, Thomas Henry Cotton, a month short of his 81st birthday. Controversial to the very end, Henry will no doubt revel in his last poser to officialdom, whether he will in future be referred to as "the late Sir Henry Cotton" or just plain Henry Cotton MBE. At least the long awaited recognition was given to him and he knew a month before he died. No man gave more or fought harder for the professional game and this applies not only to golfers but greenkeepers as well. Latterly, his playing days over, he took an increasing interest in course design and maintenance and was a regular visitor to new constructions and irrigation schemes all over the country, discussing with a considerable depth of knowledge the needs of the greenkeeper. Although spending winters at his beloved Penina, Henry made England his home for the summer to attend the Open Championship and Test Matches at the Oval and Lords. In between he squeezed in his personal appearances, usually for a fat fee - and who can blame him! The stories of Cotton are legendary and no doubt someone is already compiling a best seller of his life interspersed with a host of anecdotes.

Prof. Dr. Owen Miller August 2020 Professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) founded the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in 1954. The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.
