IN MEMORY OF ESPN DESIGNER
THEO CAVINESS, 1975-2018
Finding
Strength
Senior writer Mina Kimes on the
importance of Aly Raisman’s voice:
I remember where I was when I saw
Raisman speak at Larry Nassar’s
sentencing hearing in January: sitting
on my sofa, glued to the television.
Afterward, I texted a few of my female
friends, all of whom were equally
riveted by her speech. When I started
working on this story, I rewatched her
statement, then went back and asked
those friends why Raisman’s words
had resonated so deeply with them.
Everyone I spoke with pointed to the
beginning of the speech, when she
stares directly at Nassar and tells
him that he’s “nothing.” Women
across the country were inspired by
that striking, powerful moment.

Raisman was one of 156 women who
delivered victim impact statements at
Nassar’s sentencing hearing.

reporter Tisha Thompson on the
aftermath of a murder-for-hire plot
I instantly spotted the giant three-tier
trophy when boxing trainer Ramon
Sosa first opened the storage space
where he keeps all the police evidence
from his case. The trophy looked like
hell: busted up, falling apart, leaning
against the box containing the watches his wife used to
pay for his murder. It was special, Sosa said, because
his kids gave it to him as a thank-you for everything he’d
done for them. Which is why his wife had thrown it out
into the rain and allowed it to fall apart. This story
allowed me to go deep into a bizarre, bloodless crime
and the profound damage that it wreaked upon those
left behind.

Senior writer Steve Wulf on discovering
hope amid tragedy in Parkland, Florida
In 2007, I did a piece on the Virginia
Tech marching band after a mass
shooting claimed 32 lives at the school.
In 2013, I wrote about the Newtown
High School girls basketball team
playing for a community in shock over
Sandy Hook. And in Parkland, I again met extraordinary
people whose strength and grace reminded me of our
best nature. With the Scott Beigel story in particular,
I was heartened by the inner beauty of the students,
teachers, loved ones and Scott himself. Damn a world
that allows this unspeakable evil to repeatedly happen.
But bless the people who turn tragedy into another
story altogether.

Joy and heartache sit on opposing
sides of a fragile fulcrum.
For 42 years, everywhere he
went, Theo Caviness delivered
joyous gravity.
He committed remarkable
visual journalism, discovered
obscure, delicious music and dove
into nonsensical, spontaneous
conversations with hilarious gusto.
He punctuated strategic conversa-
tions with the phrase “Cool, cool,”
and he lopped off reckless social
media exchanges with the
ever-incisive “Yooooooooo.”
While Theo had ferocious
pride—in his young family, in his
hometown of Philadelphia and in
his Eagles—he balanced that pride
with astonishing humility, always
finding nourishment in feedback,
always praising friends and
colleagues whose virtues might
otherwise go unnoticed.
The quintessential “Good
Brother,” Theo served as mentor,
role model and celebrant of the
virtues of African-American
communal life. He simultaneously
amassed an astonishingly diverse
and devoted collection of … well,
let’s call ourselves what we are:
fans. We’re Theo fans.
We now find ourselves navigating
a world without his unending
kindness, negotiating a new lesson
in balance.
Grief, for now. Gratitude? Forever.
