UEFA bans Slavia Prague’s Ondřej Kúdela for 10 games for racist behavior
(CNN) Slavia Prague defender Ondřej Kúdela has been banned for 10 matches by UEFA after the governing body's investigation into allegations of the player's "racist behavior" towards Rangers' midfielder Glen Kamara during the sides' UEFA Europa League meeting at Ibrox stadium last month . The incident occurred late in the match when Kúdela was seen saying something into Kamara's ear with his hand covering his mouth. After the game, Rangers manager Steven Gerrard spoke to the media where he confirmed that Kamara told him that he was racially abused by Kúdela. Kamara subsequently gave an interview to UK broadcaster ITV News earlier this month in which he claimed Kúdela said to him: "You're a monkey, you're a f**king monkey and you know you are." Kúdela denies the claims. In a statement on Wednesday, Slavia Prague's President Jaroslav Tvrdík said the club respected UEFA's decision.

MLB’s All-Star Game can save Taiwan
Major League Baseball just missed a great opportunity to seed new markets, build its brand and address growing anti-Asian sentiment in the United States. Instead of moving its all-star game from Georgia to Colorado , it should have taken this summer’s game farther afield to a surprising new venue: Taiwan. Major League Baseball (MLB) decided to skip previously scheduled Atlanta as this year's All-Star host over what it considers to be Georgia’s assault on democracy and voting rights. The MLB should have gone one step further and moved the games overseas to help protect and defend global democracy. It’s too late for 2021, but it’s time to consider a future high viewership, mid-season game in Taiwan. The move would focus Americans’ attention on, and raise awareness of, the People's Republic of China (PRC)-threatened sovereign state. The All-Star Game would show non-military U.S. support for the embattled island nation. It also would reward a model COVID-response nation with a … [Read more...] about MLB’s All-Star Game can save Taiwan
