Absent from the Black Stars since 2014, the playmaker, in 2016, indicated his readiness to make a comeback after putting behind his injury woes, and then reiterated his desire again last year. However, the 29-year-old is yet to make himself available despite his comments, and Afriyie’s situation has left even more concerns. “It is true that at a point he indicated that he was willing to call off his absence from the national team," Afriyie, also the vice president of the Ghana Football Association, told Citi Sports....

‘Madrid would be crazy to meet Alli price!’ The 27-year-old suffered tragedy in his personal life as he and his wife lost daughter Renee, but last Friday he became father to baby Raine. Alfie Barker was banned by the Football Association from playing the game for seventh months after it emerged that he had sent abusive tweets to the Republic of Ireland international over his previous loss.

The Mariners have already roped in Eze Kingsley Obumneme and attacking midfielder Ansumana Kromah for the next season. Dicka was the top scorer in last edition’s I-League as he netted 11 goals in 17 matches for Shillong Lajong.

The marquee clash of Indian football, the one that once had the power to divide a whole state into two groups due to its underlying sociological implications and still manages to draw thousands to the field, was played for the 316th time at the Kanchenjunga Stadium in Siliguri on Sunday.

As a New York City Council member representing a couple of South Brooklyn neighborhoods in late 80’s and early 90’s, I lived through a version of defunding the police. It wasn’t by choice; due to severe budget restraints by a City facing fiscal problems, the hiring of officers was significantly curtailed. The results were not pretty. In 1975, the New York City Police Department was staffed with 36,000 officers. By 1990, it was down to about 30,000....

The demonstration was held just a few short hours before Secretary Pompeo met with Congress, as required by law, before finalizing this year’s refugee admissions cap—18,000—the lowest cap in the history of the resettlement program. That was the significance of 18 people getting arrested; each represented 1000 refugees we might take. Since the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) was authorized by Congress in 1980, the United States has set an average refugee cap of 95,000 refugees each year....

The campaign begins full-length programming on March 3, but short MTV News segments have already beg-un touching on themes such as gays in Colorado and in the military. Recognizing a hot subject when it sees one, the network’s first in-depth feature will be “Straight From the Hood,” a documentary on gang-riddled South-Central Los Angeles. Instead of trotting out the usual cops and sociologists, the hour long program features current and former gangbangers, as well as their neighbors....

The evolution of my femininity is complicated. When I began entering pageants in my teens, I was trying to showcase my talents and earn money for college. I was a vocalist and thought of pageants as singing contests. Plus, my mother was Venezuelan, and I spent years of my childhood in the beauty-saturated culture of Caracas. Venezuela is known for amassing great numbers of Miss Universe titles—why shouldn’t I aspire to join the ranks?...
