W Series might promote gender equality but you can still have the wrong passport. Another case of USA refusing to issue a visa for a Russian athlete. We've seen this with tennis players & the Eugene DL fiasco lately. Yeah, tell me more about women rights now

Sure enough, with the trade deadline upcoming next week the Miami Dolphins are apparently trying to get a trade with Houston for DeShaun Watson. Washington FT are rumoured to be the destination where Tua Tagovailoa ends up.

Amateurs. It's obvious IOC doesn't give a flying rat about Tibet. These protests were much stronger before 2008 SOG and obviously achieved absolutely nothing. World has moved on from the Tibet issue some time ago already. Nobody likes to fight a losing war for too long.

Nobody cares what happened in 1968 anymore. Today's sport and Olympic Games is all about money anyway. You can't sell me progress and use examples from 53 years ago. Not in an era when TikTok is king Must be a real boring day in the gossip columns if old NBC clips are making news.

3 hours and 3 minutes. The crowd sure got their money's worth!

That was Match of the Season stuff for sure. I was really pulling for Paula to win it! Tremendous result!

Jacksonville Jaguars' 20 game losing streak is over as they beat Miami Dolphins 23-20 at Tottenham Stadium. The Tua Tagovailoa experience in Miami might be heading for the exit door as the team falls to 1-5 and DeShaun Watson still around for a trade regardless of the off-field issues.

Jags kicker Matthew Wright bend it like Roberto Carlos today!

Red Sox hit two Grand Slams in consecutive innings to even the ALCS at 1-1. Meanwhile Braves win 3-2 in the first NLCS game helped by Chris Taylor base-running error in the top of the 9th.

It will be Victoria Azarenka vs Paula Badosa in the Indian Wells final.

Nope, COTA was build specifically to provide a long-term US venue for F1.

We'll have to see if Australia, Japan and Singapore actually take place. Especially Australia where covid lockdown measures are downright insane by this stage.

Dodgers beat Giants 2-1 in the Game 5 decider and advance to NLCS. Julio Urias only came in as reliever in the 3rd inning (most pundit & fans expected him to start) and Max Scherzer got the save after Cody Belinger drove in the go-ahead RBI in the top of the 9th.

The most difficult task for NFL players? Getting the jersey off after the game

Swedes announcing retirement out of the left field becomes a norm. Kajsa Kling, Maria Pietiae-Holmner were also fairly premature to say the very least.

Yeah, but FIS taking whatever excuse Norway comes up with shows clear intent. If they busted Johaug for the lipstick excuse then why completely ignore looking into Bjoergen's case? Imgaine if those were Russians. FIS would bend over backwards to dig into the case. The Symbicort Empire lives on!

Marit Bjoergen admitted in her autobiography she had a positive test for nandrolone in 2017 but FIS turned a blind eye And you wonder why nobody outside Norway gives a fuck about cross country anymore.

Mass murder using bow & arrow... in 2021? So Norway went from Breivik to medieval methods now?

Before Jabeur only one Arab woman made WTA Top 100 - Selima Sfar. Mayar Sherif has since joined them as the third one. Unlike ATP, Morocco hasn't produced any noteworthy female players over the years (they seemingly have Tunisia instead).

Amanda Coetzer (CH #3) is the highest ranked female player from Africa ever (in singles). There were more in doubles (Ilana Kloss, Liezel Huber and Cara Black were all #1 in doubles).

Poland hangs on to win 1-0. If we beat Andorra in the next game (kinda probable) then Albania would have to beat England on the road to prevent us from securing 2nd place with one game left after that.

Albania vs Poland (0:1) has been resumed in the 78th minute.

Poland scored in 77th minute. Albanian fans started throwing bottles on the pitch and the match is suspended.

Well, Top 5 for Sakkari would really be crazy given she's won a grand total of 1 WTA title so far. She's not that good but WTA is a mess right now anyway.

Beatriz Haddad Maia bounced #1 seed Karolina Pliskova just minutes ago. Haddad Maia is back after doping suspension and profited from LL spot in MD. And she's into R4 of Indian Wells! Defending 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu is out after losing to Anett Kontaveit. The fall from grace continues and Andreescu's 2019 season appears to be a complete flash in the pan.

I still remember Osrblie hosting World Cup in the 1990s. The Duszniki-Zdroj venue is undergoing an ownwership change which for some reason resulted in the IBU Cup calendar drop.

Commonwealth Games have cut down mandatory events from sixteen to two: athletics & swimming. Another sign how this event is basically expendable in modern era. They can always go with "urban" events for kids and e-sports for teenagers?

2052    Doha even hotter with climate warming 

2060    Doha even hotter with climate warming

 

The international sporting federations also have to agree with the Olympic Games dates as well as the IOC.

 

These are just some of the international sporting federations for outside sports that have not wanted a Doha Olympics in that extreme heat:

 

• World Athletics
• World Rowing
• World Triathlon
• International Canoe Federation
• Internation Federation for Equestrian Sports

 

Money is not going to sway these IOC and these International Sporting Federations to risk their athletes health and lives by agreeing to their outside events to be held in the July/August Doha extreme heat.

 

Sorry buddy, but your views are delusional.

 

 

Your are stuck in recency bias tunnel vision. You really believe the IOC heat rules will stay there forever? Or NBC will ban SOG from being held in November forever too? Whoa! I don't have anything to add here.
