BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.
Open letter to @GaytonMcK from SA Women's Hockey team player #ThatiZulu. An overdue letter. Both hockey teams have struggled over the years to get themselves to either the olympics or Hockey World Cup. The World Cup is starting in a few weeks and the teams are again crowdfunding.
R31 mil to spend on World Cup travel, tickets, suites, random exhibitions and some legacy soccer game.
-Olympic and paralympic team - always chronically under funded.
-SA Women's hockey team - crowd funding for the Olympics.
-SA Men's hockey team - self funded
-SA women's football team Banyana Banyana - continued payment issues
-National Netball team - heavily dependent on sponsors
But yeah, a good few tens of millions to spend on "exhibitions and stands".
I donโt want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I donโt want to "create an account" to see a menu. I donโt want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
King Memnon of Aethiopia was in the Trojan war and was killed by Achilles in a duel. He arrived at the war with his Aethiopian army to save Troy after Hector was slain
Atheiopia was a descriptive term for all of sub-Saharan Africa at the time
Homer describes the war as a global event with participants hailing from all over the world, specifically saying they spoke multiple languages
Troy itself was an Anatolian trading hub
The Odyssey can be adapted into a space movie and it would still be relevant. Adaptations is how we honor those works and the lessons within them
You are a small small man who views life from a lense that cheapens it
The Odyssey is not a historical story. Itโs based on an epic myth. Helen was born from an egg. All of you going on about the cast and โhistorical inaccuraciesโ sound ridiculous. Itโs a work of fiction. Go touch some grass and read a book.
FIFA is also corrupt. Weโre not dealing with some paragon of virtue here. FIFA has proven that they are prone to influence. Hell, they postponed Cristiano Ronaldoโs suspension so he wouldnโt miss any World Cup matches.
And Iโm supposed to clutch my pearls over a Trump phone call?
