Barry Bonds' wife files for divorce | People in Sports
Barry Bonds: Court records in Los Angeles show the the baseball slugger's wife of 12 years filed for divorce Thursday.
Barry Bonds: Court records in Los Angeles show the the baseball slugger's wife of 12 years filed for divorce Thursday.
Liz Watson cited irreconcilable differences, and documents state the couple has reached a settlement agreement.
Details of the agreement were not included in the initial filing. Watson, who withdrew a separation petition that was filed in June, is seeking joint custody of the couple's 11-year-old daughter.
Bonds' first marriage to Susann Margreth Branco ended in a highly publicized divorce in 1994.
Arsalan Kazemi: The pressure is great on Rice's 6-foot-7 freshman, the first Iranian-born athlete to play NCAA Division I basketball.
"If I play good they're going to go after other players in my country," said Kazemi, 19, who leads the Owls in rebounding. "If I'm not playing good, they're going to say: 'They don't have any basketball if he's the first one. They don't have any other good players.' "
Kazemi's path to the U.S. began at the West Asian games in Tehran in 2007, when he earned most valuable player honors for leading Iran's under-17 national team to the title and gained the attention of Anthony Ibrahim.
A Lebanese who has worked as an NBA broadcaster for Middle East telecasts and owns a travel agency in Houston, Ibrahim brought Kazemi to the U.S. in 2008. He helped enroll him in a prep school in North Carolina to play basketball and improve his English enough to get into college.
"It was kind of amazing to be the first one to do something and make history," he said. "It's pretty good."
