Not all fighters compete for wealth, and Thompson is certain that Nurmagomedov never fought for the money. According to the UFC welterweight, Khabib Nurmagomedov used to fight for the honor and glory that comes from the sport. ‘Wonderboy’ believes Khabib’s aim was to prove to the world that he was the best fighter on the planet. Money was never the driving factor behind Khabib Nurmagomedov’s performances inside the octagon, claims Thompson....

MORE: The worst of the Colin Kaepernick takes Then later, the subject of Colin Kaepernick was introduced and Curry explained why he doesn’t plan to protest or sit during the national anthem during the upcoming season. “I’ll most likely stand,” he said. “If you follow the way he talks and the message he’s trying to send with his act, from his mouth, he’s not disrespecting veterans....

The best judge of Curry’s ability would probably be Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who was Michael Jordan’s teammate back in the day. Of Curry, he said, “Curry has the best skill set I’ve ever seen in terms of the combination of shooting and ballhandling, along with speed and quickness.” When your skills are being called greater than the greatest ever, you know you’ve arrived. There is a whole book of activities which go into training to become an NBA player, this is just a look at some of Curry’s training program which stand out....

Manchester City attacker Sterling’s decision to speak out after he was racially abused in a Premier League game at Chelsea in December 2018 was praised by the chief of Fare, an organisation dedicated to combating inequality in football. The England international argued the way the media reports about young black players contributes to racism in society, with Powar believing the point has been taken on board. “I think what Raheem did there was very important,” Powar told Omnisport....

Sterling, whose estranged wife floated the idea he could have dementia, played the part of a senile old man who entered into a relationship with a younger woman, one that he alleged ended with him being taken advantage of as his racist remarks were exposed to the world.

Few people know what Stewart was going through Sunday as his team prepared to race without him in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International. But for those of us who know Stewart, it is probably this: He feels sick to his stomach about what happened. And yet he’s a racer. And racers, who have responsibilities to their teams and sponsors, tend to race amid tragedy. They have the ability to block out the outside world once they strap on their helmets and climb into their racecars....

Clearly, you had to come up with something. Something to make everyone feel better, at no risk. Which meant: something with nothing to prove (in case you can’t), nothing to win (in case you don’t) and nothing to pay (in case you can’t afford it). A tall order, filled, for the moment, by your national obsession with this thing called “self-esteem.” Embraced with an endearing gusto peculiar to the American people, selfesteem is all the rage, as I discovered on a recent visit....

WADA had started work on the proposed amendments to the third draft of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code in November 2011.

Volunteerism isn’t an excuse for government to be completely rolled back. But the public sector can’t do it all–the old view was that if a federal program didn’t work, double the spending and see if it will work then. That’s not the way to do things. When I was in the White House, some critics used to charge that our emphasis on “a thousand points of light” was just a dodge, a way of saying that encouraging volunteerism could justify spending cuts....

And then there was the case of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, the Tejano singer who was shot by a business associate in 1995—exactly 13 years ago this week. She is still being grandly memorialized at a level that is confounding to those who don’t understand her cultural significance. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton dedicated a post to her, and at press time there were nearly 300 comments on the post, most in fawning praise of the singer, who died at 23....

It is approaching eight months since the last coronavirus relief bill, the CARES Act, was signed by the president and ongoing disagreements have seen lawmakers unable to agree upon a fresh package of measures. Though those on both sides of the aisle have expressed support for further stimulus action of some sort—while polling also shows backing from the public for this—negotiations to secure a bipartisan agreement able to pass through the House and the Senate have proved fruitless....

There is speculation that Stone Cold Steve Austin and WWE may be working together soon with him talking about training recently.
