If Nick Nurse, thinks his team is best without Tyrese Maxey being the main creator, he should be replaced.

I like that every six months a Republican gets arrested trying to prove voter fraud is easy because voter fraud is not, in fact, easy
A Minnesota prosecutor charges conservative influencers James O’Keefe and Cam Higby with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft after they misrepresented themselves at polling places using the names of registered voters. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

If La liga had such an issue with the joke, they should’ve opened their mouths and spoken up for the years it’s been circulating on the internet. Also sorry, not taking the words of the president who compared Madrid to Hitler a few days agai seriously

Que Mbappé haga una broma por los memes de un dictador chino = Tebas pide perdón
Que Tebas compare al Real Madrid con los nazis = todo está bien
Qué fácil es pedir disculpas por otros y más cuando afecta a la economía de La Liga.
Desde LALIGA lamentamos profundamente las declaraciones de Kylian Mbappé que han causado malestar y ofensa en China. Entendemos el daño ocasionado y, en nombre de LALIGA, quiero trasladar nuestras sinceras disculpas al pueblo chino.
Durante muchos años hemos construido una relación de respeto, confianza y cooperación con China, sus autoridades, sus instituciones deportivas, sus operadores audiovisuales y millones de aficionados al fútbol español.
No podemos permitir que una actuación individual empañe esa relación ni perjudique a los más de 20 clubes de nuestras competiciones profesionales y a millones de aficionados chinos.
Estamos adoptando las medidas a nuestro alcance y trabajando directamente con nuestros socios e interlocutores en China para superar esta situación.
Nuestro compromiso con China, su pueblo y sus instituciones es firme. Una relación construida durante tantos años no puede quedar dañada por un episodio individual.

I was trying to find the Grizzlies - Jazz game to watch Cam Boozer and Darryn Peterson … then I remembered that Grizzlies games are blacked out in central Missouri. NBA and MLB blackouts are absurd.

The fact that JD Vance wrote an entire book about growing up in a neglectful, abusive Ohio home and chose to side with Vivek over someone with a similar experience is so telling about what a soulless, satanic wretch he is.
Asked Ohio Dem gov nominee Amy Acton today about this answer from President Trump.
"The facts are: I was removed from custody from my mom. She was not well. From even a very young age, my brother and I experienced a lot of abuse and neglect, even before my stepfather. But my stepfather was not a good person, and it got worse then. He was indicted in a grand jury. He was a fugitive, and they left together."
"I have not seen her since I was 12 years old in a courthouse. So this is a sad story."
I have watched all Timberwolves games this year, and I’m still shocked to see Lamelo and Kuminga out there

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements.
"A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party. We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…
