The Jewish Sport Report: This legendary Jewish sportswriter has a story to tell

In this week’s Jewish Sport Report, 92-year-old sportswriter Jerry Izenberg opens up about his new memoir and an Israeli rugby team responds to its exclusion in South Africa.

Jerry Izenberg covered 53 Super Bowls. His memoir covers his Jewish Newark upbringing.

In his 17th book, the 92-year-old reporter chronicles the bond he and his father shared over baseball and hating the Nazis.

Rugby’s governing body ruled that South Africa’s exclusion of Israel was not discrimination. The Israeli team is skeptical.

World Rugby concluded that the decision to disinvite an Israeli team from an international tournament was made due to security concerns.
