'It’s a sham': Kaepernick handed chance to end NFL exile with open workout, but fans claim he shouldn't have to prove anything

'It’s a sham': Kaepernick handed chance to end NFL exile with open workout, but fans claim he shouldn't have to prove anything Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback-turned-political activist Colin Kaepernick could have a route back to the NFL after it was announced that he will stage a workout and interview for all 32 NFL teams on Saturday. The 32-year-old quarterback hasn't played since the final day of the 2016 season after he popularized a trend of players kneeling during the pre-game rendition of the US national anthem. The move, he said, was designed to highlight racial injustice and police violence but immediately became a source of controversy as some people - including President Donald Trump - railed against the practice, declaring it disre...

Shot stopper: Ex-Colombia ace Asprilla says he persuaded hitman not to kill Paraguay goalkeeping legend Chilavert Former Colombia forward Faustino Asprilla says he had to persuade a hitman not to kill legendary Paraguay goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert after a World Cup qualifier in 1997. Asprilla and Chilavert were both sent off after clashing during a South American qualifier in Asuncion, which Paraguay won 2-1. Speaking on Colombian TV channel TelePacifico this week, former Newcastle ace Asprilla sensationally claimed that a hitman had called him at the team hotel afterwards to ask permission to bump off the Paraguayan stopper. "What? Are you crazy?" was Asprilla’s response, he told the channel. "You’ll destroy Colombian football, you can’t do tha...

India heading for ‘tremendous’ growth & Moody’s downgrade is wrong, says legendary investor Mark Mobius

India heading for ‘tremendous’ growth & Moody’s downgrade is wrong, says legendary investor Mark Mobius The decision by rating agency Moody’s to change its outlook on India from stable to negative was a mistake, since the country is enjoying “incredible” growth compared to many other states, veteran investor Mark Mobius has said. “I think Moody’s call was erroneous, I don’t think it was called for because I see tremendous growth coming in India going forward,” Mobius, the emerging markets fund manager and founding partner of Mobius Capital Partners LLP, told CNBC. “I believe that a lot of the reforms are going to really begin to kick in and have a big impact on the economy going forward.” Last week, Moody’s explained its decision to lower India’...

Uncategorized

Gaza militants fire rockets into Israel as cross-border violence continues Palestinian militants fired rockets into Israel on Wednesday, the second day of a spike in cross-border violence. The attack sent people rushing to shelters, although there were no reports of casualties. The worst fighting in months began on Tuesday, after Israel killed in Gaza a top commander of the Islamic jihad, accusing him of masterminding recent attacks against Israel. In response, Islamic jihad gunmen fired about 200 rockets into Israel throughout the day. Further Israeli air strikes on the militant group’s targets in Gaza killed eight more Palestinians, Reuters reports. It appeared that Hamas, the main militant group that rules Gaza, was staying out of the fighting for now. Gaza mil...

The inevitable finale of the Nord Stream 2 saga

Uncategorized

The inevitable finale of the Nord Stream 2 saga Nord Stream 2 may have become one of the most geopolitically charged energy projects in history, but its completion was inevitable since before construction even begun. Europe is quickly becoming one of the most important export destinations for gas exporters. Production is decreasing quickly due to political and technical developments. The next few decades are promising for exporters. Nord Stream 2 is arguably one of the most contentious projects currently under development. Denmark recently granted the last necessary permit to start construction activities in its EEZ and analysts now agree that the project’s completion is only a matter of time. In reality, the pipeline’s future was decided long befor...
