Last year, Djokovic, Pospisil and 60-odd ATP players announced the launch of the PTPA on the eve of the US Open in a move that caught tennis’ governing bodies by surprise. The PTPA was criticized for not including women from the outset. Since then, the PTPA and Djokovic have repeatedly clarified that they have been talking to the WTA players and that they intend to represent players on both tours....

Kick It Out branded the chant as “racist” after it was heard during a home encounter with Everton, but despite urges from both the club and the player not to sing it, United fans were heard singing it as the 24-year-old Belgium international was on target against Southampton in Saturday’s 1-0 win. Now, through agent Mino Raiola, Lukaku has reiterated his desire for the song to stop. “He would like this song to stop....

The ad, which was seen on Saturday by Newsweek, shows handwritten notes from migrant children against the backdrop of a childhood growth chart. The heart-wrenching statements from children include: “They took my mom and dad,” “I don’t know if I’ll ever be home again,” and “Will my mom remember me?"—while showcasing that every day that a child is stuck at the border, they will continue to grow without their families....

Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, WWE Divas often competed in swimsuit contests on RAW and SmackDown. Paige joined WWE’s FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) development system in 2011. At the time, the company’s up-and-coming female Superstars were booked in the same way as main-roster women. Speaking on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, Paige recalled how the bikini competitions made her “so mad.” Unlike some of her FCW co-workers, Paige already had a wrestling background when she joined the developmental system....

Get 11/2 for Bayern to win the Champions League The Bundesliga champions were dispatched in ruthless fashion by Vincenzo Montella’s side thanks to goals from Franck Kessie, Hakan Calhanoglu and a double from Patrick Cutrone. Bayern suffered a penalty shoot-out defeat to Arsenal after conceding a last-minute Alex Iwobi equaliser and have only two more pre-season games against Chelsea and Liverpool before the DFL-Supercup against Borussia Dortmund on August 5....

In a post-fight interview following UFC 261, Kamaru Usman was asked why he chose to inflict further damage on an already downed opponent. According to Usman, those punches were ‘super necessary,’ which is exactly what Masvidal said when he was asked the same question following his knockout win over Ben Askren in 2019. Usman said that even though Masvidal was probably out cold, it was the referee’s job to step in and end the fight, declaring Usman the winner....

The former Aston Villa defender has claimed that Arthur’s loan deal at Anfield simply has not worked out. He stated that the Brazil international was brought in by the Reds to help them out amid their injury crisis but he has himself struggled for fitness.

At UFC Vegas 18, Cory Sandhagen knocked out Frankie Edgar with a brutal flying knee. The up and coming bantamweight contender used his height advantage and caught Edgar within the first 28 seconds of the fight. Taking to Twitter, Petr Yan seemed quite impressed with Cory’s quick-fashion win. However, also reminded everyone what Yan’s upcoming opponent Aljamain Sterling did to Sandhagen at UFC 250 when he submitted him within a round....

Much like the recent Call of Duty games, one of the most addicting parts of Titanfall is leveling up your pilot, in a similar fashion to leveling up a character in a role-playing game. One Titanfall player took the leveling process so seriously that he’s already maxed out his pilot and become the game’s first Generation 10 player. Reddit user DownTuClown shared some screenshots to backup his claim that he has successfully leveled the world’s first Generation 10 pilot....

[HTML1] As the fact that both the Xbox One and PS4 line-ups are lacking becomes clearer and clearer, there’s a good chance that the next year will feature several big hitters being re-released for next-gen systems, with bigger and better graphics, and more responsive physics. In other words, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition may just be the first of many “definitive” re-releases. The developers at Crystal Dynamics haven’t let the mere promise of improved visuals do their work for them, however, as the very first trailers showed that a brand new Lara was created specifically for next-gen....

[HTML1] Long considered one of the premier series in the historical turn-based strategy genre, Total War has prided itself on immersing gamers in various time periods and allowing them to engage in tactical, cerebral warfare. While some of the entries have taken liberties with history, the series has ultimately always been grounded in reality. That’s all set to change with the recently announced Total War: Warhammer. Gone are the days of Roman centurions and Japanese shoguns....

In a video shared by user beastie25 (@bellieofthebeast), BGP the bulldog can be seen attacking a stuffed pig.

Is It Common for Dogs to be Scared of Cats?...

One of the most common types of games on the iPhone or iPod Touch is tower defense, but Tower Assault: Curse of Zombie Island breathes life into an otherwise over-developed genre. While it doesn’t quite hold up to the cult following of Plants vs Zombies, it does lead the pack in a reverse form of defense games. Although the storyline is brief, having detailed context is rare in many mobile games....

Scientists have searched for genetic causes to health disparities between blacks and whites but have had limited success. The strongest evidence to date points to social-environmental factors such as poverty, health care inequities and racism. Our society is plagued by racism and racial inequality which is not fully recognized by all, according to a recent study showing that many Americans overestimate our progress in fixing racial inequality. On the other hand, more Americans (65 percent) are aware that it has become more common for people to express racist or racially insensitive views, according to a U....

In a viral Reddit post titled, “My job called my family ‘incentive’,” Redditor u/59raccoons recounted a tense conversation about a recent change to their schedule, and explained how their manager justified the seemingly unreasonable adjustment. Posted on Reddit’s popular r/antiwork forum, the post has received over 26,000 votes in just 8 hours. Writing that they had previously voiced their displeasure with their new schedule, the Redditor said that their new business hours would prevent them from spending time with their family....

Arsene Wenger took his out-of sorts side to the Amex Stadium hoping to ease some of the pressure on his shoulders, but further criticism has rained down on a team low on confidence and stuck firmly in a rut. Back-to-back defeats to Manchester City had seen uncomfortable questions asked in north London, with the Carabao Cup surrendered at Wembley with little resistance. Arsenal fared little better against the Premier League leaders in an immediate rematch at Emirates Stadium, with Wenger facing a barrage of abuse in the wake of two disjointed displays....

The 30-year-old forward is yet to savour senior international success with his country, with final heartache having denied him the opportunity to complete a remarkable haul of honours. Messi does, however, have another shot at cementing his status as an all-time great this summer, with his presence alone considered to have Argentina in contention for football’s biggest prize. Tevez believes his countrymen will be in contention, with there only two sides capable of competing with the Albiceleste if they perform to their potential....

The 33-year-old held a special press conference to announce his exit from Camp Nou, having won 31 major trophies during his time at the club. Iniesta joined Barcelona as a 12-year-old in 1996, working his way through La Masia before breaking into the first team in 2002-03. By his third season with the senior side, he was an integral part of the Barcelona midfield, helping lift his first La Liga title in 2004-05, and then completed the league and Champions League double the following season....

Del Potro hasn’t played since losing to compatriot Federico Delbonis in the first round of the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires earlier this year, having missed the entirety of the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Although he hasn’t officially announced his retirement yet, it’s unlikely that the affable 33-year-old - plagued by persistent injuries - will take the court again. The ‘Tower of Tandil’ - as he’s affectionately nicknamed - rose to a career-high of World No....
