KMBC Editorial: KC Current’s new stadium makes history [Video]

It is fitting that the KC Current’s new stadium opened during Women’s History Month.Not only is CPKC Stadium the first in the world built specifically for a women’s pro sports team, but the moment is a historic leap forward in professional sports.For too long, female athletes played in the shadow of their male counterparts.For generations, high school marked the end of most women’s competitive sports career.We believe a new era is upon us an era of visibility, equality, and opportunity.With the KC Current playing in the new stadium, we can now cheer on professional female athletes competing at the highest level at a venue with first-class amenities in front of sellout crowds.KC Current players are role models who will inspire young girls to dream without limits.We are celebrating this event in a new special airing on KMBC 9.Watch Chronicle “A Pitch Fit for a Queen” airing April 10 at 9 p.m.Congratulations KC Current and thanks for making more dreams a reality.

Quick-acting NYPD officers saved the life of a woman who attempted to jump into the East River. A passerby noticed the woman, aged 19, looking upset and sitting on the wrong side of the fence lining the river on Sunday 17 March and notified three nearby police officers. One officer is seen talking to the woman before she lowers herself towards the water. Inches from being swept by the East Rivers current, she can be heard screaming for officers to let her go. The three refused, holding onto her until harbour units arrived safely below. One officer told ABC News that he has since spoken to a worried family member who assured him the young woman was responsive and improving.
