The USMNT (United States Men's National Team) was knocked out of the 2026 World Cup after their round-of-16 loss to Belgium this past Monday, but that didn’t stop them from earning a cool $16 million in FIFA prize money. 20 percent of that will go to U.S. Soccer, and the rest to the players. And while that might have served as a silver lining after fizzling out of the tournament, the men's team will have to accept the fact that the 80 percent ($12.8 million) will actually be split with the USWNT (United States Women's National Team). Under the U.S....

The British did every dirty trick they could think of to cheat us out of victories in the 1908 Olympics in London but we still won anyway America was supposed to lose the important Track and Field events in the 1908 Olympics in London, but we won anyway. Here is the story that is lost in history. Our struggles have not always been in wartime or even life or death conditions. Some of our most miraculous victories have been in athletic competitions. As close an ally as the United Kingdom is to us today, this warm friendship wasn’t always the...

The on-court standoff between Sophie Cunningham and DeWanna Bonner became the highlight of the Indiana Fever's 86-77 victory over the Phoenix Mercury over a week ago. The heated moment went viral overnight as an instant hit. Naturally, fans began speculating about what sparked the exchange. Cunningham finally put those theories to rest, revealing that it was simply a lighthearted attempt to get under Bonner's skin. Nothing more, nothing less. Cunningham stepped into an enforcer-type role with the Fever as soon as Caitlin Clark arrived in Indiana. Against her former team, Sophie saw an opportunity to need one of her old...

A major UK housing management company has banned all residents from hanging flags from their balconies on the same day the World Cup is due to get underway. Rendall & Rittner Housing sent a letter this morning reminding all residents of the "proper use and maintenance of balconies as per the terms of your Lease."

FIFA has left hotels across the US in the lurch after mass booking rooms in host cities before cancelling the majority of them.One host city hit particularly hard by Fifa’s movements ahead of the World Cup has been Kansas City, Missouri.Per the Kansas City Star, Fifa reserved up to 5000 rooms per night for many of the evenings that its officials and business partners would be in town.That means that Fifa will have reserved tens of thousands of rooms across the month-long tournament in the city alone.But as soccer’s greatest international tournament drew closer, the governing body canceled the majority...

Braun has previously given Indiana roughly “65-35” odds of landing the team and has repeatedly highlighted the advantages of Indiana’s business-friendly environment compared to Illinois’ high-tax, high-regulation climate. Losing the Bears would represent far more than a symbolic defeat for Illinois. It would mean losing thousands of potential construction jobs, long-term economic activity, tourism revenue, and one of the state’s most iconic institutions. It would also send a powerful message to businesses nationwide about the direction of Illinois under Democratic leadership. The potential departure would fit a troubling pattern. Since Pritzker took office, Illinois has seen more than 500,000 residents...

An eyewitness to the fatal stabbing that left 17-year-old Austin Metchalf dead claims that his alleged killer, fellow teenager Karmelo Anthony, was asked to leave his team’s tent “15 times” before the fateful altercation that led to Metcalf’s death.

Trans athlete AB Hernandez came in first at three events during a recent California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section championship final: long jump, high jump and triple jump. Girls who finished second to him were allowed to share the victor's podium. Nereyda Hernandez, AB's mother complained "my trans girl beat those cis girls fair and square. Making AB share the podium with those losers was a travesty that devalued the ceremony. It's time that everyone admits that there is more to being a girl than just DNA. AB has the courage and the work ethic to overcome being short-changed with the...

The coastal city of Fujisawa in Japan has become the epicenter of a heated national debate. In a series of videos that have since gone viral on social media, thousands of residents took to the streets this week to protest the construction of the city’s first mosque. The demonstration wasn’t just a small neighbourhood gathering. The video, shared by @MeghUpdates showed a massive display of public anxiety. Protesters were seen chanting against the project, raising placards, and voicing concerns that the proposed structure—reportedly much larger than nearby historic Shinto shrines—is an “act of provocation" against Japanese heritage.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools. The order directs the NCAA to create rules that mandate college athletes can play for "no more than a five-year period" and allows them to transfer schools only once before they graduate without having to sit out a season. The rule changes are scheduled to go into effect Aug. 1. A school that plays an athlete who doesn't meet these new limits could risk losing its federal funding. The order also states that the...

OnlyFans, emotions and the first female home plate umpire in MLB history … this is why women can’t have nice things! The 2026 season for Major League Baseball will see the implementation of the automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system into actual games. Meaning, umpires will have to be on their toes this year, or get called out like it’s everybody’s business. Just take this example that I have for you today. In the 2025 campaign, Jen Pawol made MLB history by becoming the first female umpire to work a regular-season contest, which took place Aug. 9 in a game between...

I have never posted over here so if I'm in the wrong place doing the wrong thing the wrong way, I apologize - please advice, not flame. Since Apple paid $2,000,000,000.00 (yes, that's two billion dollars) for the sole rights to broadcast F1 races live I decided to break my no Apple rule and do the 7 day trial. The embedded Formula 1 app works, as does the embedded MLS app, Apple original Coming Soon and Children's shows all work but none of the Apple Original content (Movies, Shows, etc) will load. All we get is "Page Unavailable". I cannot...

Plymouth — In the wake of Team USA’s gold medal win over Team Canada in the 2026 Olympic Hockey Tournament, it’s worth mentioning this stunning victory—our first since the 1980 Miracle team—wasn’t an accident. It came from decades in development right here in Metro Detroit. Twenty-two of the 25 players on the team are products of the USA Hockey National Development Team (NTDP), spending time in their teenage years on the big sheet at USA Arena in Plymouth. Originally birthed in 1996 in Ann Arbor, the program was housed at The Ice Cube, where American-born players began matriculating into the...

Germany will remain in the running for the 2036 Summer Olympics despite its president expressing concern about the 100th anniversary of the Nazi-era Berlin Games, the nation’s Olympic sports head Thomas Weikert said on Saturday. The German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB) is due to decide later this year on putting forward a candidate from Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and the Rhine-Ruhr region for the 2036, 2040, or 2044 Games. The first of the three dates could be contentious, however. “The president views the year 2036 as historically problematic for a German bid,” a spokesperson for German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on...
