Welcome back to the lineup, Kevin Givens

The opposition to the Protect College Sports Act seems to be getting stronger. Will it be enough to prevent its passage?

Brazil's 24 year World Cup drought is due to a cultural collapse. The street pitches where Pelé and Ronaldo learned the game have been paved over for real estate...and it’s no longer free - 80% of youth academies now require cash

Today Brazil has more cell phones than people and a third of kids ages 5 to 19 are overweight. You can’t replace things like the futsal courts with screens and expect to stay on top

The results are already showing at the lower level. Last year Brazil's U 20’s were eliminated from the U 20 World Cup in the group stage for the first time ever

Until this changes and Brazil recaptures their identity, the drought is not going to end

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.

It’s becoming clear that the Islamic Republic of Iran and its security services carried out mass murder in a manner that can only be compared to the Einsatzgruppen.

Obviously on a much smaller scale, but with the same logic: an almost industrial mowing down of civilians.

If you make him famous, the Iranian regime might not execute him tomorrow.

A $60 "supporter ticket" for 1.6% of seats isn't enough. Not when FIFA just set the highest ticket prices in World Cup history.

Thousands spoke up demanding that this be a tournament that New Yorkers can afford.

Here's what we actually need: end dynamic pricing, cap resale prices, and set aside 15% of tickets for local fans at a discount. The beautiful game must be for everyone.

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

Don't sleep on the return of Kevin Givens, which might've come as an unexpected positive today. The 49ers are desperate for capable bodies along the line, especially to rush the passer from the inside — and Givens is coming off his best pass-rushing season with 3.5 sacks in 2024

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Kevin Givens may be California dreaming, but he made it clear that Altoona will always be his home at heart.

Kevin Givens penetrates his gap & knocks his block back into the RB. It buys Nick Bosa & others enough time to get to the ball carrier for a short gain! #StopTheRun #49ers #FTTB

[San Francisco 49ers @49ers]

First 2+ sack game for Kevin Givens! Hear from him in the @Lexus postgame interview.
