⚠️ Muslim Man Killed Defending Woman From Islamophobic Attack
Belgium — A Muslim shopkeeper who stepped in to defend a Muslim woman from racist and Islamophobic abuse on a Brussels tram has died after being beaten so badly that he succumbed to his injuries.
Driss Atouane, who managed a supermarket in the Schaerbeek district, intervened after a man directed racist and anti-Muslim remarks at a woman aboard Tram 55 in the municipality of Evere.
According to the victim's relatives, Driss was struck from behind with a heavy object after confronting the attacker. He collapsed to the ground, where the suspect continued to kick him until several young men intervened to stop the assault.
Driss, who remained conscious after the attack, was taken to Brugmann University Hospital in Schaerbeek. His condition later deteriorated and he fell into a coma before dying on Sunday morning.
JOSÉ MOURINHO: "I had captains who were not leaders. I had one at Porto, Jorge Costa. One day, we were losing a match against a team called Belenenses, we were down 2-0 at halftime. I was walking to the locker room, and everyone saw I was furious.
When I was about to enter, Jorge Costa told me, ‘Wait outside for two minutes, please.’ He went in, closed the door, and did the dirty work for me. Then he opened the door and said, ‘Coach us.’ Because in the locker room, he did everything I would have done.
We won 3-2. He was a centre-back, had never scored goals in his life; that day, he scored two. Captain and leader are very different things. You can’t buy leaders. You can’t manufacture leaders. And when you have them, your team is one step ahead."
If this were Iran, the world would be calling it oppression.
German police brutally assaulted a peaceful pro-Palestine woman.
Horrific scenes, and they are doing this on behalf of Israel.
@Footballtweet This is an unfair representation of football and the changes in the amount of international competitions #fifa has introduced. Credit to Kane but he is in an era where he has been the only decent English striker for years. So it was a nobrainer he "had" to play.
A message to Sony and Playstation from me, a lifetime fan:
PS1 was the first console I ever had for myself, and I have loved and played on every playstation console and handheld.
Through my years, I have over 700 games across all ps platforms and over 300 platinum trophies. I buy and play games, because Playstation is my favorite place to play ä.
Please Sony, all I ask for you is to care. To care about the fans like me who love physical media. It's the feeling of having physical discs that I can't describe. Putting into the PlayStation and playing it, no better feeling
As a long time fan, all I ask is that you care. The goodwill I once had is getting smaller by the day and the company that was innovative, fun and made the games I love is not the same anymore.
If you have any heart left, please show that you care. That's all fans like me ask you to do.
Thank you for reading if you did, whoever you are. This came from my broken heart today. I don't have much energy to give, I feel sad.
“It was a difficult shot,” photographer Joan Monfort told The Athletic. “We can say I sweated some blood to take it."
In December 2007, Monfort took a photo of a 20-year-old Lionel Messi, who had begun his Barcelona career just over three years earlier, and Lamine Yamal — who was five months old.
It was published in a 2008 charity calendar organised by Barcelona’s club foundation and newspaper Diario Sport, with the money raised going to UNICEF and other charities around Catalonia.
As part of a yearly initiative back then, members of the Barcelona squad were photographed alongside children. Hundreds of families collaborated, and most of the photos have now been forgotten, beyond the treasured private memories of those who took part.
It just so happens that Yamal, Barca’s star of the future, was paired with Messi, who would go on to win the Ballon d’Or eight times.
