Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war

To support my family from here 👈👈

Seeing a take that's incredibly baffling, yet incredibly interesting in how baffling it is.

I managed to see someone merge the essence of the extremely questionable traits of athletes based on race pseudoscience, football/soccer eurocentrism, and American sporting aspiration/endeavour.

Genuinely impressive how such a mangled opinion can come out of a person

US sports teams should have to recruit locally. I don't want to know which franchise is better, I wanna know if Chicago balls harder than NYC

Cardiovascular collapse, catastrophic leg injury, and exercise-induced sudden death are constant threats. All who died on their race day last year were reportedly deemed sound by track vets. Some connections seemed to blame the horses themselves by claiming their horse “took a bad step” resulting in a broken leg. It’s an excuse that is often used to explain away breakdowns – but it is a claim worth questioning, considering racehorses’ athleticism and overwhelming drive to protect themselves.

Two-year-olds and three-year-olds are young horses. Young horses who are overtrained and raced while also being denied generous recovery time – and who spend the majority of their lives in a stall without space to roam – are predisposed to breakdown because of degraded bone and tissue integrity. The current approach in American racing is less one of preservation and a symbiotic growth/training relationship, and more a kind of patch-as-we-go.

"Arizona’s ban on transgender athletes has been blocked by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which called the 2022 law “the essence of discrimination.”

Supporters of the so-called Save Women’s Sports Act claimed that the law protected girls and women in schools and colleges from “unfair competition.” However, the federal court found that pre-pubescent trans girls and trans girls on puberty blockers have no significant physical advantages over cis girls their own age, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“[The law] to ensure competitive fairness and equal athletic opportunities for cisgender female athletes cannot be squared with the fact that the Act bars students from female athletics based entirely on transgender status,” Judge Morgan Christen wrote in the court’s 3-0 decision.

“[The law] permits all students other than transgender women and girls to play on teams consistent with their gender identities,” Christen continued, “transgender women and girls alone are barred from doing so. This is the essence of discrimination.”

Two trans girls, an 11-year-old soccer player and a 15-year-old swimmer and volleyball player on puberty blockers, sued to overturn the law; 18 states signed court arguments in favor of the law, and 17 states signed arguments against it.

A lower federal court also ruled against the law, and the two court rulings against it can now be cited as a legal precedent to help other trans girls play sports. However, Arizona could also appeal the decision to be heard by an 11-judge panel on the appeals court or ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the matter.

“A student’s transgender status is not an accurate proxy for athletic ability and competitive advantage,” said Rachel Berg, a lawyer with the National Center for Lesbian Rights who represented the two girls in court. “Our clients are thrilled to be able to continue to play on girls’ sports teams with their friends while this case proceeds to trial.”"

Behind the scenes, women in football see Spain scandal as part of systemic problems The aftermath of this year’s Women’s World Cup final has raised issues that many have known about for years. Change could be slower than expectedThe staff uniform for Uefa’s Euro 2020 championship (held in 2021 after Covid interrupted the original schedule) included beige trousers considered by many staff to be – how can we put this politely? – see through. According to Sally Freedman, a marketing and communication manager for Uefa at the time, many female staff members chose not to wear the full uniform, ditching the beige clothes for more modest blue jeans.On her first day in jeans, Freedman remembers a male senior staff member encouraged her to wear the Uefa-issued trousers the following day. This was not an intervention by the fashion police. According to Freedman, the staff member wanted to personally “check” if the clothes were indeed see through.
