Truly a decent human being.
And here his is - just barely out of the hospital after breaking his hip - at 95 years old- thinking of others.

Most of the English 2019-20 football season (everything not in the Premier Leage. EFL and National League) has been cancelled. All the teams that were likely to be promoted are not happy about this.
About the only solution that I can think of is to cancel the 2020-21 season and finish this season next year. It doesn’t solve the problem of contracts expiring at the end of June, but I don’t think there is a legal and ethical solution for that.

Never a huge fan of Newsom, but I certainly don’t envy him now, or what he has to now do for the good of his State.

One quibble:
Newsom was at the forefront on other progressive issues, including tackling homelessness in San Francisco throughout his tenure as mayor
The only thing he tackled as mayor was his chief of staff’s wife. He ran on a punitive proposition that massively cut funding for homeless with the promise of “services” that never materialized because they were never budgeted.

It isn’t like the teams at the bottom of the Premier League were going to get relegated quietly. The interconnections between all the leagues – not only promotion and relegation, but also international competitions and the player transfer window – makes this a very complicated proposition. (My wife, a huge Leicester fan, is convinced that this is going to screw Leicester by eliminating their European hopes this year, while by next year all their best players will have been poached by the rich teams.)
In the US we’ve solved this problem by playing our major sports in self-contained bubbles.

A Church in the suburbs of Rio opens the door to solidarity.
Parish in Vaz Lobo offers daily meals and bath to help around 50 homeless people. They are asking for donations (groceries, grains meat etc.) to keep their work.
Rio - In the midst of chaos, hope. A Catholic church in the Vaz Lobo neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio, opts for a path contrary to the pandemic: instead of closing the doors, the temple opened as a form of solidarity.
Every day, in Paróquia Cristo Rei, the priests offer lunch, bathing and new clothes for about 50 homeless people that roam in the region.
