Pro-Palestinian encampments have been cleared from more US college campuses as school officials have called in law enforcement in recent weeks to quell mounting demonstrations over the institutions’ ties to Israel amid its military action in Gaza. Here are the latest developments:...
#ClimateDiary 16th May 2024. Caught in a massive downpour on school run; another rainy, rainy day. Last April and May we were worried about drought, now the opposite. Then heard on R4 news that Sports England had released a report on how extreme weather is affecting physical activity in the UK, with so many flooded playing fields and tracks. And that they are now working in improving their emissions, to combat climate change. #ExtremeWeather#Sports
People in Japan have a reputation for their health and longevity. But 83yo Nanri Hiroshi takes it to the next level. Here's his advice for living a long, active life.
Decided to learn something new this year. The last time I was on a board was in 2003. I failed heavily and never went in a board again. This evening I went to a local skatepark. Learned for 1.5 hours. In the end I even rode the board from one corner to the other. I fell often, but I have full protection. #sports#skateboarding
#SPORTS is a form of entertainment but it's supposed to be ground in the reality of the action, happening in real time, in front of a witnessing crowd.
i hate, hate, hate how the #NBA is getting into the business of blurring reality & fantasy.
it's one thing when fantasy is in its own "container" like EA's games. it's another when it's supposed to be selling a real NYC as part of the #playoffs.
this place is a composite of several places in NYC. it doesn't exist.
Volleyball is becoming more popular in the PH. 17,834 fans trooped to the Araneta Coliseum for the PH's PVL semifinals games while 19,505 watched the UST-La Salle women’s Final Four clash at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Meanwhile, the PBA (PH pro men's basketball league) struggles to fill stadiums.
So it is the Giro de I T A L I A and Discovery/Eurosports in their coverage for the entire continentg switches to a rpost-race show with only B R I T S quarreling with each other.
How about some locals, there are many italians quite good at cycling, and they look great on TV too. Or someone from other nations?
Tickets are selling out, and stadiums are filling up -- but some places such as 680 News rarely, if ever, cover women's hockey (the PWHL). They need to hear from listeners. Let's support #women's sports. It took a LONG time for the PWHL to form, and they had to face a lot of prejudices. Feel free to use this to help draft your note to either 680 or other stations.
"Like many others, I've been watching the #PWHL and noticed 680 News almost never covers the games. Games are selling out, stadiums are filling up, people can't get tickets (I couldn't get tickets for the upcoming Toronto game at Maple Leaf Gardens). There is a serious following. Please try to include more of their games -- as well as some of the other women's sports in the station's coverage."
