“I don’t think that’s the appropriate thing to do,” Bass, a Democrat from California, said during a Tuesday interview with CNN. Bass was discussing legislation put forward by her caucus to reform policing across the country in the wake of the high profile death of George Floyd, a black man, which has spurred massive demonstrations across the country and around the world. Bass suggested, however, that the legislation “speaks to” some of the concerns put forward by those calling for the defunding of police....

Valverde has experimented with quite a few formations this season although I expect him to start with a 4-1-2-1-2 in this clash. I expect Dembele to drop out for Vidal, despite his scintillating form off late. Coutinho could either operate in the left half space or as a number 10, depending on whether Vidal pushes up to initiate the press through the middle. Messi will provide width on the right and join Suarez as the second striker on counter attacks, while Rakitic and Busquets will be expected to win and recycle the ball to either Coutinho or Messi....

Diego Simeone’s men were staring at defeat after goals from Juan Cuadrado and Blaise Matuidi had sent Maurizio Sarri’s side ahead.

In case you didn’t know Robertson has played a role that transcends his normal defending duties for Liverpool as he has tallied 11 assists this season, a number that no defender in Premier League history has surpassed in a season. The defender set up two goals - for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah - during Liverpool’s 5-0 rout of Huddersfield Town on Friday night, drawing his assist tally level with former Everton defenders Leighton Baines in the 2010-11 season and Andy Hinchliffe in the 1994-95 season....

The Champions League is on – both for football and cricket. While the Champions League of football garners interest from fans all round the world, the Champions League of cricket has, till now, only managed to earn the tag of being a “useless” tournament. Seriously, no one really bothers about the Champions League T20. The four-year-old tournament, that brings all the best T20 teams from around the cricket world, has failed massively to generate any sort of interest among the cricket fans....

But when division favorites match up during the opening week of the season, the game becomes even more significant. Such is the case on Sunday when Kansas City travels to Los Angeles to face the Chargers. The Chiefs have won the AFC West the past two seasons, but come into 2018 with Patrick Mahomes taking over at quarterback. The Chargers closed last season by winning nine of their final 12 games, but are well aware that a 0-4 start is what kept them out of the postseason....

His statue shouldn’t have that risk. MORE: Some of Barkley’s funniest quotes ever Barkley, the Basketball Hall of Famer, is getting a statue on campus, right outside Auburn Arena. The announcement was made, fittingly, during the Tigers’ football game against Arkansas. Barkley averaged 14.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per game over three years at Auburn before being drafted No. 5 overall in 1984. (Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan went ahead of him, but so did Sam Bowie and Sam Perkins....

But Charles Oliveira was not always the dominant UFC champion he is today. In 2010, he made his promotional debut with a 12-fight undefeated record. He initially went 2-1-1, before being matched up with WEC veteran Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. Cerrone held nothing back against the young submission specialist, knocking him out in the first round. It was Oliveira’s first time being knocked out in a professional fight and was no doubt a shock to the system for him....

Shamim started the final round with a birdie on the first to extend his lead at the top but despite bogeys on the sixth and seventh holes, he held steady to ward off any challenges. Mukesh Kumar made four bogeys on the bounce and five in seven holes which lead to his eventual downfall as a contender at the event. It was smooth sailing from there on for Shamim as he came down the stretch knowing that the job was done barring any silly mistakes from him....

In case you didn’t know… Liverpool emerged victorious against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals at Anfield.

In a post on Twitter, Chance the Rapper said that Fortnite should include “the actual rap songs behind the dances that make so much money as emotes.” The rapper suggested that the black creatives who created the dances are losing out because they made them popular but never monetized them.

In a game that includes squads of Jawas, Ewoks, and Tusken Raiders, along with various background characters (such as the Coruscant Underworld Police), the lack of certain other better-known characters feels strange. Capital Games is constantly expanding the roster, however, so time will tell if the following toons ever see the light of day....
