Rafa Nadal says he would not travel to US Open

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj Malanga ) 

Ordinarily, Rafael Nadal would likely be closing in on a 13th French Open title this week. Instead, he is home in Mallorca trying to make sense of a world that feels anything but normal.

Tennis is on hold until at least the start of August because of the coronavirus pandemic, and while there have been positive noises about the prospects of the US Open taking place, followed by the French Open, the Spaniard served a dose of reality.

Speaking via Zoom to tennis media on Thursday (June 4), the day after his 34th birthday, Nadal was asked his thoughts of playing at the US Open, of which he is reigning champion.

"If you asked me today if I want to travel today to New York to play a tennis tournament, I will say: no, I will not," the world No. 2 told reporters. "In a couple of months, I don't know. Hopefully yes.

"We need to wait probably until we have more information about how the virus evolves, how the situation's going to be. New York has been one of the places that has been hit most strongly by the virus."


When tennis returns, it will most likely be without fans.

NBA: Michael Jordan talks about the death of George Floyd

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj Malanga )

Basketball star Michael Jordan expressed outrage Sunday (May 31) over the death of George Floyd, an African American killed in Minneapolis where he is watched in a breathless video as a white police officer knelt on his neck, an incident that has sparked protests in more than 27 cities in the United States.

Jordan said his heart was with the family of Floyd and others who died from acts of racism.

"I am deeply saddened, really hurt and just pissed off," said Jordan, who is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame and owner of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association.

"I see and feel everyone's pain, outrage and frustration.

"I am with those who are calling for entrenched racism and violence against people of color in our country. We have had enough."

Jordan's comments came as many U.S. cities prepared for another night of unrest after cleaning streets littered with broken glass and burned cars, as curfews failed to quell confrontations between protesters and police.

Jordan, a six-time NBA champion who was at the heart of the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 1990s, called on people to show compassion and empathy and never turn their backs on meaningless brutality.


"We need to continue peaceful expressions of injustice and demand accountability," said Jordan. "Our unified voice needs to pressure our leaders to change our laws, or else we need to use our vote to create systemic change."

Fifa calls for 'common sense' as German FA investigates Floyd protests

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj Malanga ) 

Fifa has called on leagues to use "common sense" when deciding whether to discipline footballers for displaying political messages after several players in the German Bundesliga called for justice for George Floyd during matches.

"Fifa fully understands the depth of sentiment and concerns expressed by many footballers in light of the tragic circumstances of the George Floyd case," world football's governing body said in a statement on Tuesday.

After scoring in his team's win at Paderborn on Sunday, Borussia Dortmund's English winger Jadon Sancho lifted his shirt to reveal the message "Justice for George Floyd".

His team-mate Achraf Hakimi and Schalke's American midfielder Weston McKennie expressed similar calls for justice, while Borussia Monchengladbach's French forward Marcus Thuram took a knee after scoring for his team in memory of Floyd.

Floyd died last week after a white policeman in Minneapolis kneeled on the handcuffed man's neck for several minutes. The incident has sparked days of violent protests across the United States.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the sport's lawmakers, bans players from showing "any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images".

However, pointing to its own anti-racism campaigns, Fifa intimated that no action should necessarily be taken against Sancho, Hakimi or McKennie.

"The application of the laws of the game approved by the IFAB is left for the competitions organisers which should use common sense and have in consideration the context surrounding the events," Fifa said.


The German Football Association (DFB) is investigating the players in line with IFAB's laws, although president Fritz Keller said he understood their actions.

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( DJ Malanga )

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony for Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett and six others is postponed until 2021.

Hall of Fame Board of Governors chairman Jerry Colangelo broke the news on Wednesday (May 27) to ESPN.

The ceremony was due to be held Aug 29 in Springfield, Massachusetts, following a presentation the previous day in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The Boston Globe recently reported that the Hall of Fame was looking to postpone the events until October, but Colangelo told ESPN that holding the ceremony this year won't be possible due to the ongoing effects of the Covid-19, pandemic.

"We're definitely cancelling," Colangelo said. "It's going to have to be the first quarter of next year. (The board will) meet in a couple of weeks and look at the options of how and when and where."

He told ESPN that the Hall of Fame explored the possibility of moving the ceremony from Springfield's 2,611-seat Symphony Hall to the city's 8,319-seat MassMutual Centre to provide more opportunity for social distancing, but ultimately the decision was made to wait until next year.

Indignation of Lebrón James and the entire planet over the death of citizen George Floyd, in Minneapolis

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj malanga )

Today when I watched the video, I felt helplessness, anger, resentment, wanting to get on the screen of my cell phone, and smash the face of those two unhappy people who call themselves police, it is not possible that four or two irresponsible savages, stained the honor and kill a citizen who was already controlled and with handcuffs on.

Incredible that these atrocities happen in the middle of the 20th century, not only did they kill this citizen, but they stained the honor of the Minneapolis police department, I am sure that in that police force, there are honorable police officers who deserve to wear that badge , plus the awful scene, that we observe today with so much indignation, through that video, has gone around the world, and left that entire police department badly stopped.

 The late George Floyd, 46, was a close friend of former player Stephen Jackson, who went through nine franchises and lived his best years with the Pacers and Warriors. On social media, he has mourned the death of his friend he calls "brother" and "twin." Floyd was detained by the Minneapolis police on charges of forgery. There are images in which he can be seen on the ground while a police officer has his knee on the detainee's neck, who on more than one occasion says he cannot breathe. After a few minutes, the detainee was put on a stretcher and transferred by ambulance to a hospital where he finally died. The Mayor of Minneapolis has already said that the four police officers involved have been fired.


"Please. His knee in my neck I can't breathe!" Was what Floyd was pleading. For his part, a witness told the police officers: "Take off his knee from the neck, check his pulse. He is not breathing, check his pulse!" Jackson and Floyd were born in Texas and grew up in Cuney Homes, a Houston social housing . "Anyone over there knows you were my brother. Not many came out, but my twin was happy that I did. I'm going to keep making you feel proud. It makes me so angry that after all the things you went through when you got to your best version you serve like this ... Rest Easy Twin, "wrote the former NBA player.

The event has also been commented by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who said he gave orders to the FBI and the Justice Department to investigate the case of atrocity in the city of Minneapolis.

Manchester United: Solskjaer, counting on Pogba, Rashford for restart

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj Malanga ) 

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Tuesday (May 26) he is confident of having Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford fit should the Premier League season start next month.

Pogba has missed the majority of the campaign with an ongoing ankle injury, while Rashford seemed set to miss the rest of the season when he suffered a double stress fracture in his back in January.

United returned to training in small groups last week and preparations are expected to be ramped up further for a return to action when Premier League clubs vote on resuming contact training on Wednesday.

Hopefully now we've proved we can do this safely and we can move to the next step. It's been really enjoyable being on the training ground again," said Solskjaer.

"They (Pogba and Rashford) are looking good, they've joined training now and they've done everything the other boys have been doing. No reaction so far, touch wood.

"When we get started, it looks like we can have a full squad to choose from." The return of both players could be a major boost to United's hopes of ending the season on a high in three competitions.

Solskjaer's men were three points off the top four in the Premier League when play was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic in March.

The clubs voted unanimously to allow players to start socially estranged training in an attempt to meet the Premier League mid-June date to resume the season.

Contact training is not allowed at this stage and corner flags, balls, cones, posts, playing surfaces, and other equipment will be disinfected after each session.

Tests for the coronavirus have been carried out in the Premier League clubs in recent days and will continue throughout the training period.

"Strict medical protocols at the highest level will ensure that everyone retrains in the safest possible environment," said a Premier League statement.

"The health and well-being of all participants is the Premier League's priority, and the safe return to training is a step-by-step process.

"The full consultation will now continue with players, managers, clubs, PFA and LMA as protocols for full contact training are developed."

The training protocols were presented to players and managers last week before being sealed during Monday's video conference.

Other rules in phase one include players who do not travel with anyone to or from training, while the use of public transportation and team vehicles is prohibited.

Newcastle was one of the first high-flying teams to confirm that the players had been tested in their training ground.

The club said the players would return on Tuesday, at which time all test results would be known.

Players will be asked to use an app daily to record any symptoms.

Written by : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( DJ Malanga ) 

Timo Werner scored a hat-trick as RB Leipzig demolished hosts Mainz  5 - 0,  on Sunday (May 24) to reclaim third place in the Bundesliga with an emphatic victory after three straight draws.

Germany international Werner, a target for several top European clubs this summer, opened his account in the 11th minute and Yussuf Poulsen nodded in the second goal in the 23rd.

Marcel Sabitzer killed off the game before the break, flicking in from close range as Mainz collapsed.

Werner scored again three minutes after the restart and the 24-year-old forward chipped the ball over keeper Florian Mueller in the 75th for his 24th goal of the season and 91st in all competitions for Leipzig to become their all-time top scorer.

Timo Werner has developed a very good sense not to move only on the wings but to go over to the 10 position, said Leipzig coach Julian Engelsmann of his striker’s work in a more central attacking role.

“Coupled with his speed, that makes him a more versatile player and makes it harder for his opponents to control him.”

Leipzig, who crushed Mainz 8-0 earlier in the season with Werner grabbing another hat-trick, moved back into third on 54 points, one place ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and two clear of Borussia Monchengladbach.

They have the upper hand in the battle for a Champions League spot.
