Nothing new from China, remember the circus around NBA after the infamous tweet about Hong Kong.

I was thinking about posting that the NBA and EPL now find themselves in similar situations. Disney is also about find itself in the same situation when they release “Mulan” (the live action remake that looks good, but that I won’t be seeing).

in past few days (something like 2 weeks) one name made the headlines here everyday (no exaggeration here, I mean it), and that's an Italian coach Andrea Stramaccioni, he was coaching the 2nd most popular team of Tehran and Iran, Esteghlal (which happens to be my childhood favorite team :d) until he left his club few days ago.

 

because of good results and also his character he quickly became extremely popular between the fans but then exactly the same week he brought Esteghlal to the first place (after 6 years), he just left his club ! and that caused a national crisis here ! :facepalm:he left because his club can't pay him properly, money is not the issue, the issue is how to pay him because of the sanctions !

 

even after 2 weeks and they already played 3 matches without him (and his assistants ) and already lost 5 points. the club can't and won't hire another coach simply because they are afraid of their angry fans !

If you want you can take Stramaccioni forever :p Honestly I don't like him, I remember his awful work with the Udinese few years ago...

:d as Inter fan I also remember him very well and first he signed with Esteghlal I told my friends this is not a good signing, but he turned out to be very successful. (after a very poor start) even though it's not about just results, his team was playing good and fans also liked him as a person. and I'm sure you know, the level of football is different, an average coach in Italy is considered a great coach here :d and he is young for a coach and it seems he is improving.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
