Last year, SEN Radio sacked senior journalist Peter Lalor over tweets that expressed solidarity with Palestinians.
Usman Khawaja, in response, refused to do an interview with SEN in solidarity with Lalor.
As Khawaja announces his retirement from cricket, he leaves behind a legacy that goes far beyond his numbers.
Khawaja was a bloody good cricketer. He won't be ranked among the greats of all time.
But he's been a much better role model than most of our cricketing gods could ever be.
In his retirement press conference, he speaks about the importance of speaking out on issues outside of cricket.
He reiterated his support for Palestine, and called out politicians for sowing hate and Islamophobia.
Sadly, we don't make cricketers like that anymore.
You'll be missed Uzzie. At a time most cricketers prefer to stay quiet, worry about endorsements and shy away from controversies, you walked the talk.
At a time most of our cricketers towed the line of the government, you spoke up even if it meant it made you unpopular in some sections.
On field, you were brilliant. Off the field, you were even better. Happy retirement, Usman Khawaja, you'll be missed ❤️
I am sorry but #arneslot dont know why he is here in liverpool. I am happy that we have a hectic schedule Please lose every match to sack that bloody idiot. Pathetic football to watch from liverpool.
The world can move on without the United States.
100 years ago, the British Empire dominated global commerce, commanding more than 20% of the world’s wealth. Many believed its sun would never set.
200 years ago, France bestrode Europe’s stage, its armies feared, its culture envied. Napoleon declared himself immortal.
400 years ago, the Spanish crown reigned from Manila to Mexico, its treasure fleets groaning with silver and silk. The kings thought their glory would last eternal.
Each empire proclaimed itself indispensable. Each was ultimately eclipsed.
Power wanes, influence migrates, and legitimacy dies the moment it’s assumed rather than earned. Should America forfeit the world’s respect, it will discover what every fallen empire learned too late:
The world moves on. Always.
Professor Marandi didn’t let Propagandist Yalda Hakim push a single Israeli narrative.
He calmly exposed exactly how the Western media are selling the war against Iran.

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo could face action from the English FA after removing his shirt to reveal a religious message during his side’s win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Netherlands international fired past Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the 34th minute and took off his shirt in celebration, revealing a vest with the message, “I belong to Jesus” on the front.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) laws of the game — which the FA follows — prohibit player’s equipment from containing “any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.”
“The player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or by FIFA,” IFAB adds.

A dream come true. A perfect day. I went to watch Liverpool FC, my team since childhood, since the days of Rush and Barnes, play at Anfield. I got to see the one and only Mo Salah play live. I watched Liverpool beat West Ham at home on their way to another Premier League title!

Saudi Arabia will not be renewing the 50-year petrodollar agreement with the United States.
Instead, they will be selling oil in multiple currencies, including the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan.
This should be treated as a black swan event, but you wouldn't know it because the U.S. government is more focused on investigating tire tracks over an LGBTQ street intersection.
Remember, the revolution will not be televised.
🚨🇦🇷 Leo Messi on being part of the squad for World Cup 2026: “It depends on how I feel, how I am physically, and being realistic with myself”.
“There's still a lot of time left... in quotes, 'a lot and a little,' because it goes by quickly, but there is still some time and I don't know how I will be at that moment”.
“Age is also a reality that is there, even though it's just a number”.
“The matches I will play now aren't the same as those I played when I was in Europe competing every three days, either in the Champions League or in the league, whether in France or Spain”.
“But it depends on how I feel and what I feel being alongside my teammates, and seeing if I am still up to the level or not... let's see!”, he told @polloalvarezok.
