USMNT 2022 World Cup kits released by Nike, with players already ‘angry’ and fans unimpressed

USMNT players model their 2022 World Cup kits. (Nike) Long before Nike’s Thursday release of the U.S. men’s national team’s 2022 World Cup kits, and even before the jerseys leaked last month, some USMNT players got to glimpse and even model the threads they’ll wear in November — and Weston McKennie, midfielder and fashion aficionado, “tried to tell them.” “Them” was presumably Nike and U.S. Soccer.

Serena Williams gives fans (at least) one last moment of glory with first-round US Open win

With sparkles in her hair and glimmering flashes of what was — quite perfectly — as much cocktail dress as tennis outfit, Serena Williams was serving for the set but down at deuce. The US Open crowd was amped but nervous. Serena was a 23-time major champion. Her opponent, Danka Kovinic, was a 27-year-old who had never been past the third round in a major. Back in the day, this would have taken about 53 minutes. Serena is 40 now, though, mother to a 4-year-old daughter. She’s been… Source link

Royals pitcher Amir Garrett throws drink at heckler, calls out ‘disrespect’ from fans

Kansas City Royals reliever Amir Garrett didn’t like what one Chicago White Sox fan said to him Tuesday night, and Garrett let the fan know it.

It’s hard to hear what the fan said to Garrett, but it was enough to evoke a fit of frustration from him. Someone did shout “party foul!” after Garrett tossed the drink, though. It didn’t… Source link

LeBron James, Red Sox co-owner, says he hates Celtics fans because ‘they racist as f***’

In one year, LeBron James is scheduled to hit NBA free agency. There will be many teams interested in the talents of the Los Angeles Lakers star, but we can probably cross the Boston Celtics off the list.

Specifically, he identified TD Garden has his least favorite place to play after soccer player Marcus Rashford discussed Premier League… Source link
