Paying due taxes and not raping

What was the qualification process for break dance in the Olympics ?

Cricket confirmed in next Olympics

Word is going around he hires a foreign background lawyer to handle his taxes

Summer because it has more global participation. I would like winter more if they add those dog sledge races.

I wouldn't say golden age. There is also a lot of mis & disinformation than any point in history.

Saturday 10th August, 2024 Leeds 2-0 Portsmouth, 12.30 Oxford 1-3 Norwich, 12.30 Man Utd 1-2 Man City Rangers 3-0 Motherwell Dundee 2-2 Hearts, 17.30 Sunday 11th August, 2024 Genk 1-1 Club Brugge, 12.30 Hibernian 0-2 Celtic, 12.30 Ajax 1-0 Heerenveen Sheff Weds 2-0 Plymouth, 16.00 Sampdoria 4-1 Como, 19.45

Whole thing seems to have blown out of proportion. The kid was stupid to assault the officer, in US and most of the world he probably would've been shot dead for doing that. And yes the officer should be given some suspension fine for kicking in the head.

*one of their prime. Agreed on golf but not on cycling since they have different modules some of them highly valued.

Sad for the fans

Yes, a 9-10 year gap is basically like starting over

Sports that don't treat Olympics as one of their prime competitions shouldn't be in it that means football, tennis

FIFA is not alone in this expanding their tournaments.

Fielding is set according to the batsman being left or right handed. Once it is set the fielders can't change their position until the bowl is bowled. If the batsman is going to switch just before the delivery is bowled than allow the fielders to do the same. Then there is also the lbw rule of pitching outside leg being not out. Batsmen can switch side, get struck in the pad but not out even though he changed sides which totally flips what was his leg side.

https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket/ian-chappell-urges-icc-to-intervene-after-glenn-maxwell-david-warners-unfair-shots-against-india/ I don't think the switch hit should be banned but it again shows the bias against bowlers cricket has always had as a sport. As opposed to batting where new shots and innovations are encouraged and celebrated, innovations in bowling or anything that gives advantage to bowlers is met with suspicion, scrutinized and eventually banned in many cases. when the slingy action like Malinga first came on the scene in 70s it was banned but later cleared, doosra was deemed impossible to bowl without chucking and everything was done to ban it, mankading, limiting bouncers and one could argue ball tampering in this case too, pacers should be allowed to do it legally.

ICJ has given its verdict that acknowledges pretty much everything about Israel that any person with a conscious already knows. Daily reminder: the issue of Palestine and Levant was also one of the reasons why League of Nations failed. According to League of Nations, in any Mandatory power arrangement the wishes of those being ruled by that Mandatory power must be of priority and upheld. For this a commission was created to find and assert the wishes of the people of Levant who were to be ruled by British and French mandates. This commission is called the King-Crane commission, headed by two American diplomats, it conducted surveys and interviews in the Levant from all communities. The commission gave the final report that a unified Arab state be created and ruled out the creation of a Jewish state, this commission also advocated for an Armenian state to be created. But Britain and France gave two fucks about this commission and divided the ME between them. This violation of international law was one of the first events why League of Nations never really took off. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King–Crane_Commission Now we will again see flagrant violations of international institutions which will most probably lead to same events that happened after League of Nations went kaput.

But were they lobbying to include sports that they were good at like countries are doing recently ?

Olympics are wank. Countries like US China have made it into a dick measuring contest between them inserting sports that increase their chance of winning medals i.e skateboarding ffs and India is also pushing for cricket to be included in it. Also becoming a burden to host these things. Only two cities Paris and Los Angeles applied for 2024, IOC for first time announced two hosts at once awarded 24 to Paris and LA 2028 fearing no one might apply for the next one. That said some sports are interesting to watch and only get prime time attention during Olympics like El Professor mentioned volleyball, hockey

Yes. You have cricket football players saying themselves that even until 2000s you could get a few breaks in between but now you have to play constantly.

The best XI should really be only of players that reached the quarterfinals at least
