Sorry abt the sound
Ich verstehe fast nichts - die Verbindung ist schlecht.
George Baldock played for Greece, because of his Greek grandfather. Greece wanted to postpone the game but UEFA forced them to play.
Ok, the Dodgers beat the Padres to advance to the next round of the baseball playoffs. The announcer is interviewing Kike Hernandez after the game
Announcer: Youâve been on 8 other postseason Dodger teams, what makes this team different?
Hernandez: Um, is this live?
Announcer: Yes, we are live.
Hernandez: I guess it is because we donât give a fuck!
I love Kike! Heâs so great!
He hit a clutch postseason homer while with one of the other 8 postseaon Dodgersâ teams. Heâd had a phone call with his mom that day, and sheâd told him to hit one outta the park. Never a slugger, Kike promised he would, while thinking âUmmmmâŚâ b/c unlikely.
Sure enough!
And so ends my Sportsball watching season in Detroit.
Football in Texas is a cult
Thirteen cheerleaders at Evans Middle School in Lubbock, Texas are suffering from first and second-degree burns on their hands after they said their cheer coach made them perform âbear crawlsâ and âcrab walksâ on a hot outdoor track as punishment.
The girls, who are all eighth graders and on the âredâ team for the squad, told KTLA sister station KLBK/KAMC they were punished for performing a cheer at a football game that she didnât want them to do. They said the coach found it âdisrespectful.â
What came next for the parents and the kids was a nightmare.
âI had asked [my daughter], âAre you okay? How was school?â She put our stuff down in the car, went to sit down and said, âMom, you want to know how my day was in cheer?â I said, âYeah.â She told me that they got a punishment, and shows me her hands,â Angel Thompson, a mom of an Evans Middle School cheerleader said.
The girls were told to do the bear crawls and crab walks for a mile, but most werenât able to continue after two laps due to the pain, some even got physically sick from it. The girls said the punishment happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 2 p.m. One of the parents went to the track to check the temperature that afternoon and said it was at least 125 degrees.
âWe told her our hands are burning, and she said she didnât care, and she made us go back down on the track,â one of the cheerleaders, who asked to remain anonymous, said.
We need our liberation heroes: now more than ever. And the greatest compliment I can pay Carlos, Smith, the late Peter Norman, and organizer Dr. Harry Edwards, is that they all had tough lives in the aftermath of their actions. Some of them made political choices one may disagree with here and there. But none ever made you feel ashamed for proudly putting this iconic picture on your wall and identifying with their struggle. As Dr. John Carlos once said at Occupy Wall Street âI donât regret my actions. Iâd only regret it if I had done nothing.â
The media â and school curricula â fail to address the context that produced Smith and Carlosâ famous gesture of resistance: It was the product of what was called âThe Revolt of the Black Athlete.â Amateur Black athletes formed OPHR, the Olympic Project for Human Rights, to organize an African American boycott of the 1968 Olympic Games. OPHR, its lead organizer, Dr. Harry Edwards, and its primary athletic spokespeople, Smith and the 400-meter sprinter Lee Evans, were deeply influenced by the Black freedom struggle. Their goal was nothing less than to expose how the United States used Black athletes to project a lie about race relations both at home and internationally.
OPHR had four central demands: restore Muhammad Aliâs heavyweight boxing title, remove Avery Brundage as head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), hire more African American coaches, and disinvite South Africa and Rhodesia from the Olympics. Aliâs belt had been taken by boxingâs powers that be earlier in the year for his resistance to the Vietnam draft. By standing with Ali, OPHR was expressing its opposition to the war. By calling for the hiring of more African American coaches as well as the ouster of Brundage, they were dragging out of the shadows a part of Olympic history those in power wanted to bury. Brundage was an anti-Semite and a white supremacist, best remembered today for sealing the deal on Hitlerâs hosting the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. By demanding the exclusion of South Africa and Rhodesia, they aimed to convey their internationalism and solidarity with the Black freedom struggles against apartheid in Africa.

Dumbass. I think he still has a condo in Trump Tower Chicago
This is a huge deal, and yet I had to scroll so far down on the Guardianâs website to find the headline to post 
This is the first time in 90 years that Britain came even close to winning the Americaâs Cup, and it seems most werenât even aware it was happening.
At least New Zealand is ecstatic! Itâs a very well deserved victory, too, both for the engineers and the sailors.
Well, this is awkwardâŚ
Maybe, but isnât there also a good chance of impaired judgment due to multiple brain injuries? (Not that I think that would excuse his actions.)
Cutler probably has one of the highest blow-to-the-head counts of any NFL quarterbacks, especially while playing in Chicago with its notoriously bad offensive line.
