Renowned as one of the best 360-degree stroke players in the country, Josh Inglis admits he struggled to contain his smile when he launched Andre Russell’s first ball of his final international match almost 100-metres onto the roof at Sabina Park.

But equally for Inglis, it was gratification for the recent months spent upping his power game that…

The USOPC athlete safety policy, which does not directly reference the word “transgender” in the 27-page document, now features an ambiguously worded paragraph referring to Trump’s executive order from…

Washington CNN — When President Donald Trump reopened a long-closed conversation about the name of the Washington NFL team, he and others implied that liberal thinking forced the venerable franchise to change its name from Redskins to Commanders in 2022. It wasn’t “wokeness” that led to that moment. It was capitalism. Corporate sponsors made the decision, not politicians or fans. On July 2, 2020, after the murder of George Floyd in late May and the resulting national conversation on race and racism, FedEx – the title sponsor of the team’s stadium at the time – called on the franchise to…
