This page contains links
to a variety of Jewish and secular sports sites. The page is divided up by
sport and by topic. It is a work in
progress. One, I hope, that will be ever growing.
Do you know of a good
site, but don't see it included here? Post a comment or submit a link by emailing
jsportscollctr@gmail.com with the subject "Link." I'll review your
submission, verify that the link works and is appropriate for the site, and add
it to the page.
Thanks!
