I hope that this ISL can be good for the national team. I am honoured to be an ambassador for the league and thank you for choosing me,” said the Juventus legend....

Putorti shared the voicemail on his social media accounts on Monday, saying that he wasn’t sure whether or not he should release the anonymous message. “As an out gay person, I was really excited to announce my campaign for Congress during #pride and knew what I was getting into. Less than a week later, I got this anonymous voicemail full of hate and homophobia. [Trigger warning.] While I’m not surprised, it’s not ok,” Putorti wrote....

Two of the losses, against the Warriors (42) and Nets (26), come by a combined margin of 68 points with the latter defeat coming after Brooklyn went on a 43-8 run in the second half. In addition, they were suiting up without star guard Zach LaVine, who is rehabbing after tweaking his knee against the Wizards last week. Not to mention the fact that the Cavaliers are a team that had won their previous five and are one of the league’s best defenses....

The Kings center was steamed at picking up a third personal foul Sunday against the Warriors, so the chair got assaulted. MORE: Warriors-Kings Game Center Worse for Cousins, he picked up a technical foul after his inner Odell Beckham Jr. (or DeMarcus Cousins, if you prefer) came out. Boogie’s outburst had a larger-than-usual audience, too: The game was being streamed live in India, where it was Monday morning.

“The only leverage we have vis-à-vis China is if all the world’s democracies could really unite and stand together and make a formal and informal alliance of democracies,” Rasmussen said. “Together, the world’s free societies represent almost 60% of the world economy. That’s a formidable force that will create respect if we can unite, and I think that’s the only leverage we have.” Rasmussen served as NATO chief from 2009 through 2014, and before that as prime minister of Denmark from 2001 to 2009....

A GoLocal reporter briefly interviewed the senator on Friday in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The local station also questioned Whitehouse back in 2017 about his membership to Bailey’s Beach Club, which is formally known as the Spouting Rock Beach Association. “I think would be nice if membership changed a little bit, but it’s not my position to do that,” Whitehouse said in 2017. He told the reporter he would “take that up privately” when asked if he plans to pressure the club to expand membership....

President Joe Biden is right: Democracy IS fragile. Secretary Blinken, on the other hand, is wrong. Elections are not the “first step” in building a democracy. And where elections are fraudulent, coercive or outright anti-democratic, the United States has no general obligation to simply “respect the results.” Consider the current Middle East electoral calendar. Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, says he’s holding an election in May with five candidates—including himself—running for president....

Republicans are hoping to seize both chambers of Congress, allowing them to torpedo U.S. President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda. By comparison, the Democrats are looking to pull off an upset by focusing on abortion, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, and election integrity after the January 6, 2021 attack on Capital Hill. According to British bookmaker Betfair, the odds are strongly against the Democrats winning a surprise Senate landslide of 55 seats or more....

In the original Demon’s Souls release for the PS3, multiplayer was limited to as many as three other players beyond the host. Two Blue Phantoms at a time could be brought into the game, as well as one Black Phantom invader.

"Beyond that, I don't think while I'm around here you're going to see Friday night games," he said. "Down the road? Who knows?" There are other questions hanging over Delany and the rest of the college athletics. Former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter and the United Steelworkers recently announced plans to form the first labor union for college athletes. Hearings before the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago to determine if they are employees by federal law concluded this week....

The ruling comes after one D K Bose sought to know from the DSA the status of various complaints received by the association against its office bearers from girl footballers of the national capital. When no information was provided to him, the petitioner approached the Central Information Commission (CIC). The football association claimed before the CIC that it did not come under the Right to Information (RTI) Act as it was not defined as a “public authority”, hence, it was not answerable to queries posed by Bose through his application....

Announced at IFA 2018, this is a 14in Chromebook that’s a laptop/tablet hybrid (does what it says on the tin, essentially) and boasts a couple of premium features you won’t find on many other Chromebooks.
