In the final episode of In The Red Corner, we dive into how the UFC helped Trump rebuild his image post-Jan. 6—and how their alliance has fueled neo-Nazi fight clubs and other far-right fringes leading up to 2024. We’re coming out swinging in this one.🥊 sportspolitika.news/p/trump-ufc-ca…
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
Saudi state themed kit for the 3rd year in a row. And still some fans pretend the bloody regime is not using our historic club to try and sportswash away their many human rights abuses and crimes....
It’s mint! 💚 Introducing our 2024/25 Newcastle United third kit! Available now on the official club website and in the official club store at St. James’ Park.
All of Bahrain's Olympic medals have been won by naturalized African athletes paid handsomely to switch allegiance. Meanwhile, the kingdom is also stripping citizenship from Bahrainis it deems disloyal to the monarchy For @SportsPolitika: sportspolitika.news/p/bahrain-olym…

U-turn on Greenwood shows the decisive importance of @AdamCrafton_'s reporting. Not just promoting club PR lines to prioritise their personal access. This is the difference investigative journalism and holding the powerful to account makes. Fearless and important work.
Quickfire comment from me on LIV Golf, Saudi Arabia’s involvement in sport, capital & politics, & a FIFA Women's World Cup cameo. @westsyduics @AcadSocSci @HumanitiesAU How Saudi Arabia came to be at the centre of a global golf merger theconversation.com/how-saudi-arab… via @ConversationEDU

An uncomfortable new reality: the 1bn transfer window, the winter World Cup are being paid for, in the end, by the household bills of people living in fuel poverty. They’re opening “warmth hubs” in parts of England. But hey, announce dembele theguardian.com/football/2022/…

I've been on the media this morning so my accent and grammar are being critiqued. I wasn't Eton educated, but growing up in Stockport I was taught integrity, honesty and decency. Doesn't mater how you say it. Boris Johnson is unfit to lead.
