We need to get away from celebrating coaches with a history of breaking athletes.
We wouldn't accept if from a Doctor...
"Sure you lost 8 out of 10 patients, but those other 2, best suturing I've ever seen!"
No, they'd lose their license due to negligence.
And that's what it amounts to...
* Lack of athlete monitoring
* Lack of individualized programming
* A lack of basic smarts.
Negligence.
Sport should be no different.

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11.
His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school.
Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.
In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy.
I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."

What a dreadful generation of wet, weak, snowflakes this shower are. An embarrassment to 300 years of parliamentary debate. Would sooner cry for apologies and sackings than actual mount a defence of their own policies.
EXCL: 36 Tory MPs and Lords have decided Lineker’s suspension isn’t good enough.
They’ve written to Tim Davie demanding a full apology “without reservation” from Mr Lineker.
They also want an independent investigation.

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would anger Tory politicians & the rightwing press - No. This is not a joke theguardian.com/media/2023/m…

This week 10 years ago was one of the maddest weeks of my life. Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon & I resigned from our job in radio that we’d had for the previous 7 years. We were told not to come to the office again, our desks would be cleared & our belongings sent to us. (1/10)

If you feed people conspiracy theories, don’t be surprised if you lose control of the crowd. Today’s @TheSundayIndo column…

Did the @IrishTimes really publish a story about a protest organised by the fascist National Party and quote their representative without mentioning his party affiliation once?

Brilliant turnout at the Stand Against Racism rally at the GPO, no blocking traffic, no bigots, no misinformation 🇮🇪

I was 10 years a public rep and am 20 years an activist, advocating for public housing, struggling to help constituents find housing and demanding real policy responses to the crises.
None of these figures popping up at anti-migrant protests have ever lifted a finger to help.

I am absolutely horrified by this comment about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson. The hatred. The obsession. The mention of her naked. This proves everything M&H are saying.
Absolutely jaw-dropping, terrifying misogyny & abuse here from Clarkson.

This is really shocking. There is absolutely no way this man would have spoken to a man in this way.
Absolutely shameful lack of respect.

By Thursday, Doha feels like its cruel self again, the exhausted workers are close to collapse, with far too many young people who are serving this World Cup in dire need of a day off. No unions, no voice. – at Doha, Qatar

8. Muscle Mass & Strength are key elements in delaying the onset of major chronic diseases.
Aerobic training is good. But it's not enough.
