“Black lives might matter if they quit acting like animals,” Boehm wrote in one Facebook comment thread. “Watch the news. Most crime is perpetrated by black people. Don’t act like animals and you don’t be treated like animals.” In another Facebook comment thread, Boehm asked a commenter, “Are you gay? You wimpy whiney little b*tch. Grow a pair. President Trump is the savior of our country,” and, “So, as it turned out the dude that initiate this post is a homo....

The news was previously reported by to CBS Sports. The Chicago Tribune reported that the plane was due to land around midnight CT in Bloomington, Ill. MORE: Remembering those who have passed away in 2015 Illinois State deputy director of athletics/external operations Aaron Leetch was also among those lost in the crash. The school’s athletic director, Larry Lyons, released a statement on the loss of the two members of the ISU athletic department:...

The former Devils and Thashers superstar, now 34, confirmed on Sunday his long-rumored intention to return to the NHL for the 2018-19 season, according to insider Aivis Kalnins, ending a five-year hiatus in his native Russia with the Kontinental Hockey League. Kovalchuk’s contract with the KHL’s SKA St. Petersburg expires this spring. No longer beholden to the Devils, who retained Kovalchuk’s rights up until this season, he can become an unrestricted NHL free agent beginning July 1, hoping to recoup some of the $77 million he forfeited when abruptly retiring in 2013 with 12 years remaining on a 15-year contract....

The implication was clear. It was the press’s fault. But not everyone believed that. Had the empress suffered a stroke, as many people speculated? Was it “anemia,” as one cabinet member suggested? Or had she had a nervous breakdown, as she reportedly did some 30 years ago? A day earlier, her annual birthday message to the people talked of how distressed she was at press reports “not based on facts....

Audio books or no audio books, the very notion of becoming incapable of seeing words on the page gave me a bad case of the shudders, and suggested that the distinction between a life worth living and one worth leaving is probably different for each of us. Some may fear grinding pain unresponsive to medication. For others it would be the constant losses of physical degeneration or the end of independence, an existence supervised by caregivers....

If you’re younger than 40, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of “Tiger Town.” If you’re older than 40, and especially if you were a young baseball fan in the mid-’80s, there’s a good chance you watched with at least a wee bit of awe when it made the rounds on the Disney Channel in 1983, or later when it had a run as a Disney Sunday Movie on ABC....

Enter Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a renowned impotence specialist who’s taking penises public. In his busy Boston clinic, “erectile dysfunction” is treated as a hydraulic screw-up, not a psychological impairment. “We can fix this,” he tells patients who for years thought the problem was all in their, uh, head. Blame and shame are banned from the office. With the doc’s prodding, patients not only invited me into the depths of their despair but waved me into their exam rooms, too....

The Stadio Olimpico success represented a sixth successive Serie A win for the Viola and some 300 fans had turned up to celebrate the Tuscan team’s best run of form since 1960. There they all stood, players, coaches and supporters alike, at the newly named ‘Centro Sportivo Davide Astori’ and, in unison, they began to sing “C’e solo un capitano”. There’s only one captain. Nobody connected to Fiorentina is in any doubt as to who is responsible for the club’s record-breaking winning streak....

But your Gaggler would be remiss in not revealing what Ames is really all about: It’s a huge party, period. There is a Ferris wheel, courtesy of a tax reform group. Only in Ames could you have spotted a presidential hopeful (Mike Huckabee) rocking bass on “Johnny B. Goode” with an Elvis impersonator singing lead vocals. Even stranger, the Elvis was actually on site to support Duncan Hunter. (Hunter’s wife was also on stage with Huckabee’s band, singing backup....

Conservatives had criticized Trump for allegedly siding with Democrats after the president signed the stimulus package on Sunday. Some MAGA supporters claimed that Trump had caved into pressure after he had initially suggested that he wouldn’t sign the package unless it removed “pork” spending for “wasteful” projects. Trump drew further conservative ire when he said that the package should include $2,000 checks for each American adult rather than the $600 allotted, something congressional Democrats had long sought....

Sanders comes off a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. To clear room on their roster, the Jags waived tight end Mickey Shuler on Saturday. Given their 0-4 start, the Jaguars could use a boost from Sanders. He caught 51 passes for 484 yards and a touchdown last season, becoming one of 42 rookies over the last 20 years to catch at least 50 passes in their initial season....

Milken, as you probably know, turned junk bonds from a financial backwater into a national mania, transformed Drexel Burnham Lambert from a third-rate firm into a powerhouse, touched off a wave of corporate takeovers and insider buyouts and entered the Guinness Book of Records by earning a grotesque $550 million salary in 1986. But even though Milken, now 46, was the richest and most powerful person on Wall Street, he managed to end up in jail, where he now languishes....

Five cars may not sound like much, but when they go for up to $150,000 a pop, it adds up. The positive press has been a big shift for this suddenly sexy Modena, Italy-based carmaker, which, until a few years ago, was tottering on the verge of bankruptcy. After a string of near-ruinous management decisions and bad designs, Maserati actually stopped selling in the U.S. market (currently its largest). Now, thanks to an infusion of cash from its new owner, Fiat, and an edgy new design aimed at boomer banker types who consider Mercedes too common and Bentleys too pricey or stuffy, Maserati is back on the fast track....

Avalos, who is the executive director for the immigration non-profit Unidos MN, tweeted that her father, who works as an undocumented food system worker had been brought to the emergency room for a possible covid diagnosis. She said that, because her father is an undocumented worker “some politicians den[y] the frontline classification,” despite the fact that he works so others can quarantine at home and still have food delivered....

“That was one of the greatest comebacks I’ve ever seen,” Staubach told Sporting News from his Dallas office Tuesday. He was speaking of Wilson rallying the Seahawks from a 19-7 fourth-quarter hole in the NFC title game to beat the Packers and reach the Super Bowl against Belichick’s Patriots. Staubach, the Hall of Famer who won two Super Bowls in four trips with the Cowboys, has seen his share of dramatic rallies, including some he led in the 1970s....

The video was taken by Whale Watch Western Australia on Monday (January 10,) which said it was the first known sighting of orca seeming to help another species in the region in this way. In the footage, taken in the Bremer Bay area off the coast of Western Australia, a humpback whale is seen struggling close to the surface of the water. One of several orca then approaches at speed and circles the animal....

The tournament will feature three matches, with each team taking on the other teams once, and the venue will be the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Chennai. The tournament is expected to be conducted between August 19th to 27th. Luis Norton de Matos sets India U17 down a promising path Interestingly, Mauritius are ranked 153rd in the world currently while St. Kitts & Nevis are placed at the 124th position.

The Indian team, coached by Luis Norton de Matos, entered the tournament consisting of Colombia, Mexico and Chile with a view of preparing for the FIFA U17 World Cup to be held in India this coming October. India had a tough start to the tournament as they fell to a 1-5 defeat at the hands of Mexico, followed by a 0-3 loss against their U17 World Cup Group A opponents Colombia....

Coach Luis Norton de Matos’ boys started the half well and hogged the possession for most parts of the first half but were unable to convert their dominance into goals. Shubham saw a shot saved in the 28th minute while Boris was always a threat on the flanks but the goal eluded the visitors as both teams went into the break on a level footing. Pogba out of West Ham clash...
