Rio reveals Man Utd’s ’teacher’s pet' A report published by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee found that football clubs in particular are not doing enough to challenge homophobic abuse in stadiums. It said that a survey found 72 per cent of people had heard homophobic abuse, while noting that there are no openly gay footballers in the professional leagues. Those found guilty of chanting homophobic abuse should be banned for between one and two years, the report says, and added that football has failed to reflect “the significant change in society’s attitudes to homosexuality in the last 30 years”....

Antibiotics are often necessary, and some people may also need to have pus drained from the infected tissue by their healthcare provider. This article discusses the symptoms and causes of paronychia, how it is diagnosed and treated, and how you can reduce your risk of developing this infection. Paronychia Symptoms Paronychia symptoms are similar to those of other infections and may include: RednessPainTendernessSwelling After a few days of these early symptoms, pus begins to collect under the skin or nail....

Following his impressive outing against Danish side Copenhagen in the Europa League on Thursday, the Ghana international put up another commanding display in midfield to help the Rojiblancos to a 2-0 victory in the Spanish topflight. It was goals from Diego Costa and Kevin Gameiro that secured three points for Diego Simeone’s men at Wanda Metropolitano. For Partey, he did not just see out the game with a Man-of-the-Match performance but also cooked an impressive piece of stat....

When Britain and China hammered out their 1984 agreement to terminate Hong Kong’s colonial lease, the deal was presented as a technicality. The colony’s ultimate loyalty might switch from London to Beijing, but the essence of life as a free and open gateway to the world would survive. So much for official myths. The city has already been transformed in myriad ways - it’s moved closer to China economically and culturally, if not politically....

On Monday, the Proteas found themselves in a great position to square the series. They were 241 for 3 in a chase of 370, but lost their last seven wickets for just 33 runs to fold up for 274. Reflecting on South Africa’s disappointing show, Mark Boucher was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo: South Africa’s fielding in the series, otherwise their strong suit, was also below par. In Pakistan’s second innings at Rawalpindi, South Africa grassed the chances of Mohammad Rizwan (who went on to score a century) and Faheem Ashraf....

Both teams are coming off losses in their respective last games and have been pretty inconsistent in the ECS this season. Pakcelona CC made a rousing start in the ECS by comprehensively beating Fateh CC. However, losses in their next three games meant that they lost the plot. With just one other win apart from the one in their opener, Pakcelona CC will hope to exit the tournament on a high....

Bhutto and a handful of her senior aides are stuck for at least one week, it seems. Government officials gave the lame excuse that the super security clampdown was for her own good, leaking news that a suicide bomber was on the loose, a terrorist similar to the killer who blew himself up next to her motorcade in Karachi last month, killing some 140 people, a fraction of the tens of thousands who had turned out to welcome her back from eight years in exile....

Heading into the semi-final against Australia, Pakistan are the only side who are unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2021. They topped Group 2 with five wins in as many games. However, that would count for little in the knockout clash. Babar Azam’s men will have to bring out their A game again. There was a fitness scare for Pakistan as Mohammad Rizwan and Shoaib Malik missed the team’s training session on Wednesday with mild flu....

The Italian outfit became renowned for their revolving door policy during Maurizio Zamparini’s time at the helm. Milan & Barca in Deulofeu talks He stepped down as chairman in February after overseeing more than 40 managerial swaps in 15 years, but his departure hasn’t changed the club’s tendency to bin coaches. Lopez has been relieved of his duties after just 10 games in charge, although he did suffer seven defeats during that run, with at least three goals conceded in each of those reversals....

According to a question-and-answer session on the Palia Discord channel with developers from Singularity 6, the game’s character creation tool will stray away from forcing players to choose gendered options and instead make those options available to everybody. Hairstyles, clothing, and body types are available to both in Palia, but each body type has a particular set of faces associated with it. Developers said these some of these faces are “more masculine-presenting” while others are “more feminine....

Palia’s announcement trailer presented it as an open-world fantasy game in which players interacted with their friends and strangers. However, Palia’s devs seem wary of that description. Instead, the devs describe Palia as “open but curated” and even “more curated than open world.” One dev describes that they’ll be using geometry to gate players, rather than invisible walls. As such, Palia’s open spaces will be explorable but smaller than the trailer may have conveyed, but still big enough that environmental traversal is a big part of the game....

In a statement made Monday, Mayor Dave Kerner, a Democrat, said the information provided in the segment was “intentionally false” and claims that he offered to refute the report but was declined by the program. “I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information—it was intentionally false,” the statement read. “I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 minutes declined....

The PaMu Quiet are true wireless and active noise-cancelling in-ear headphones. You’ll get great sound paired with useful features like ANC, IPX4, cVc 8.0, and Qi wireless charging. While the form factor and design are a matter of personal taste, what’s objectively not so great is the battery life and the overall size and weight of the charging case. Moreover, at the Indiegogo price point of $89 ($159 after) these earphones aren’t cheap....

While Pandey remained unbeaten on 79 off 48 balls, veteran Dhoni made 52 off 28 deliveries. The duo shared 98 runs for the fifth wicket in just 9.2 overs to take India to the commanding total. Sent into bat, India were dealt a severe blow in the first ball of the second over when Rohit Sharma was caught plumb in front of the wicket for a duck by Junior Dala (2/28)....

Dhawan made a brilliant century in the victory over holders Australia at The Oval on Sunday but was unable to field after being struck on the thumb while batting. With uncertainty over how long Dhawan will be out of action, wicketkeeper-batsman Pant will fly to England. Pant will be on standby in case powerful left-hander Dhawan can play no further part in the tournament. A BCCI statement released on Tuesday said: “Dhawan is presently under the observation of the BCCI medical team....

But on Thursday, the 22-year-old finally scored his first career goal just 1:26 into the second period. McCoshen, who got the pass from Connor Brickley, tied the game up 1-1 with his goal. Not only was the goal his first in the big leagues, it also marked a huge turning point for the Panthers. Vincent Trocheck found the back of the net just 90 seconds later, and then Jared McCann scored seven minutes into the second period to give Florida a 3-1 lead against St....

P.J. Walker launched a 62-yard Hail Mary to DJ Moore, who managed to catch the pass five yards into the end zone. That tied the game at 34-all and positioned the Panthers to win the game with an extra point. There was just one problem. Moore ripped his helmet off after the score in exultation. That resulted in him getting flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. That made Eddy Pineiro’s extra point a 48-yard attempt instead of the usual 33-yard length....

The Panthers are trying to deal Smith, who turns 35 in May, to avoid taking a $7 million salary cap hit in 2014. At that current contract, it will be difficult to move a five-time Pro Bowler coming off a season with diminished returns (64 receptions, 745 yards, four touchdowns). PHOTOS: Steve Smith: The Panthers legend through the years Wide receiver is a big positional need for Carolina, which is working to build on an NFC South-winnning season and become better around quarterback Cam Newton....
