John Terry sends a heartfelt message to ‘John Telly’ Yaw Dabo, wishing him and his Dabo Soccer Academy the very best and adding that he hopes to visit them in Ghana one day 🇬🇭✨
Thomas Partey being denied entry because of rape charges forces us to confront a difficult truth: the game has been more comfortable protecting accused players than protecting women.
When similar fouls get different punishments depending on who commits them, we are not talking about football rules; we are talking about class and hierarchy inside the game.
For Apocalypto, Mel Gibson cast primarily Indigenous people from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, many of whom had little or no previous acting experience. To add to the film’s authenticity, the entire movie was performed in the Yucatec Maya language.
