Delayed again! The court hearing for Samoa sevens international Gordon Langkilde has been deferred for a further two weeks. The 22-year-old was charged in July on two counts of battery, one count of assault and one misdemeanour charge following an off-field altercation with Welsh players at the Sev...

Best of luck to you OMBTS.... wifes cousin is in Wilmington so hoping for the best.

Are you seriously comparing the two? Ok to flip it, does this woman have abnormally thick lips? Cartoonists often portray people inaccurately, that's kind of the point, they are trying to make the subject look gormless or imbecilic........ Many whites who have lips no larger than Serena's have been...

Would you draw a black person you knew that way and show it to them? Genuine question. I don't think you would. This question makes no sense..... Cartoonists almost always portray the people they are lampooning in an unflattering way, they exaggerate their features for the purpose of making their s...

This is what I was saying. It was never going to pass un-noticed and will now be used to bury her terrible behaviour. The people complaining about the cartoon were gonna play the racist/sexist card to defend her anyway, if they hadnt already done so. People have been bagging on Trumps small hands/o...

I find it bizarre that CNN et al are essentially defending her. They are? Now there's a surprise. :roll: Imagine if roles were reversed and a white male tennis player abused a black female ump and demanded an apology from her...... WAPO, CNN, the Guardian et al would all be admonishing the player f...

There's potential for a new record low crowd for the TRC with the Pumas vs Wobs next Saturday on the Gold Coast. The game should have been played elsewhere like Townsville, Adelaide, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra, Perth, Penrith etc etc. Amen. Why does that sport wasteland get another gig? . Yeah...

Also that crowd....they were totally feral.

Worst part about it for me.... She goes on that rant and they clapped her for it. Who in their right mind would think such a display of unsportsmanlike and petulant behavior was worthy of lusty applause?

Mo Cheeks speech, that is another classy guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDqZSKixhG4

Dr J must be the player that has welcomed more inductees than anyone else, Mo Cheeks and Charlie Scott in the same night for one, I know he was one of 4 players welcoming Shaq.

Ray Allen HOF speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaDke3WL5MI I always find it hard to watch these without getting a little bit emotional.

One of the great professionals and role models in this sport, a really classy guy.

Dont follow tennis much tbh but isnt this her MO? I remember her having a meltdown a few years ago in the US open and getting really nasty/personal with the ump. I had to turn the channel over because I couldnt stand her obnoxiousness...... Defo one of the most unlikeable athletes out there.

"Theyll be a few French Canadian gangs"......... Montreal used to have a la cosa nostra crime family that was on par with the NYC families. I think the North American mafia families have been greatly depleted due to successful prosecutions and high ranking informants but they are still kicking about...

Its really distant and really lame....... My Dads cousins nephew is a journeyman Scottish footballer who was capped a handful of times......

Thanks for the context/background village....... Kaepernick then opted to leave the 49ers and try his luck on the free agent market. I think that's worth noting: despite the protest, the 49ers didn't cut him or fire him, he chose to leave with a year left on his contract. So, if I'm reading this rig...

It's not just a single marketing campaign, they've put him on a new deal where he will get his own lines etc . I don't see how they can build a line around this dude....... I have no dog in this fight (his kneeling did not bother me and I'm not losing sleep about the fact that he doesn't play a spo...

Seems like a reprise of the mid 90's Eric Cantona anti racism ad campaign........ Even down to the black and white film. Yeah, it's pretty galling when large corporations who operate sweatshops in the 3rd world try to portray themselves as social justice advocates. Pay your employees a living wage,...

Healey’s autobiography must be the only sporting book I’ve read where I’ve come away with a lower opinion of the subject; I always had the impression that he rated himself, but somehow got the sense that there was a bit of self-awareness and humility at play too. Not a bit of it though, clearly som...

Sabbath - Sabotage and Peter Gabriel - Melt would be the two that come to mind for me.

Have to say, Trump managing to shit all over John McCain was one of the few decent things he's done since he came on the scene. McCain experienced first hand the horrors of war and could have spent the rest of his life as an advocate for soft power, diplomacy and peace. In international relations v...

People need to grow up over the cartoon thing. For every crazy fundie who'll shoot a joint up over it, there are thousands of other peaceful Muslims who'll just be offended, sadened, more marginalised, more reactionary. It just plays into the hands of those who want to drive a wedge between the fai...

Poor Mou. He, like everyone, sees Trump getting away with this sort of petulance and belligerence on a daily basis...

Mourinho has been an obnoxious arsehole since long before Trump got into the WH.

It was that clapping the fans at the end before going into the tunnel that was weird. Hes gonna have a Basil Fawlty style mental breakdown.

For my money Lukaku was the worst player on the pitch in the WC semi v France - certainly the least involved since he had the fewest touches and had no meaningful impact on the game. Also, whilst 40 international goals is in itself a feat when you look at the context, the lions share of those goals ...

Confirmed that Ginobili has called it quits. He was a fiery competitor and a winner who always left it on the court and played with passion. The ultimate teammate who would do anything to help his team win and didn't care about the role he had. He could impact the game in a variety of ways and he wo...

Not sure what you are saying? We all have hundreds of ancestors, at one point one of them probably owned slaves. The point I was making anyway is that what his confederate ancestor did has no relevance to John McCain. Lots of Germans are probably related to Hitler afterall. It is relevant because i...

This is good read: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/john-mccain-make-believe-maverick-202004/ Thats a good piece. McCain's background is interesting - his family are from southern plantation money, families ancestral home was in Mississippi, they were slaveowners, great grandfath...

If your job is so basic that it can be replaced by a machine, it probably should be.

Just reading the wiki bio of Whitey Bulger here and interestingly enough learned that when he was incarcerated in Atlanta in the 50's he agreed to be a test subject for a CIA project to see the degree to which LSD could be used as a mind control/brain washing tool. The project itself was called MKUl...

Who would you pick to kick a goal for your life? 2009 Morne Steyn or early 2000s Wilko for me. I am to young/didn't watch enough NH rugby to remember Jenkins in his pomp. Good question, with my life on the line I think I'd go with Neil Jenkins. His goal kicking was instrumental in the Lions winning...

Wow they're expecting 1/2m, that's huge 1/9th of your population if they get that I will be seriously impressed and very disappointed. If they get that they'll just carry on as they have been, uttering a few words of repentance whilst doing jack to change and for their victims. It just shows how ma...
