It was confirmed on Monday by the United Kingdom government that professional sport cannot resume until at least June 1, even behind closed doors. The Premier League, which has been on hold since March because of the coronavirus pandemic, is said to be working towards a prospective date of June 12 to resume matches. However, the plans have been met with doubts from players including Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, and Danny Rose, on loan at Newcastle United from Tottenham....

“What did you do during the war on that virus back in 2020?” my 15-year-old daughter will be asked one day. “I skipped the last two months of school, spent half the day on Snapchat and the other half burning through every movie on Netflix,” she’ll reply. Not exactly a tale of sacrifice. I keep thinking about three great American wars, and why we fought them. The Revolutionary War was fought to preserve the freedom we’d grown accustomed to during the years of salutary neglect by the British Empire, freedom enshrined in a freshly penned statement of our national values called the Declaration of Independence....

Wood’s test was reported Saturday by Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Neither the NBA nor the Pistons have confirmed the report. CORONAVIRUS UPDATES:Players who have tested positive | Players, teams helping workers Wood, 24, joins the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell as players to test positive since the coronavirus outbreak. The Pistons played the Jazz in Detroit on March 7, with Wood scoring 30 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 38 minutes....

The former Blues midfielder is now in charge of CSL side Shanghai Shenhua and currently has the likes of Obafemi Martins, Fredy Guarin and Carlos Tevez on his books. He has no room for another foreign addition, with clubs only allowed to field three non-Chinese players at any one time. ‘Conte the cream of super-managers’ That makes a move for Costa unlikely, despite the Spain international being heavily linked with a big-money transfer to Asia at some stage in the near future....

This is not to detract from last week’s agreement between the UAE and Israel, which was attacked by the extremists who want the Middle East to be at the mercy of divisive Islamism and Iranian projection of power, rather than on a path to unity and peace. I see the UAE’s move as a milestone toward a more harmonious region. As such, the agreement should be celebrated. Still, real normalization of Israel in the region, and across the Arab and Muslim worlds, can only happen if and when there is a deal struck between the Jewish State and the birthplace of Islam, Saudi Arabia....

But that could soon change, and we have sports gambling to thank. On Monday, the United States Supreme Court voted to strike down a gambling prohibition law, opening the door for individual states to legalize sports gambling. That’s a very big story for the NHL, the only major professional league in the U.S. with an active franchise in Las Vegas (though the NFL is soon to follow) and with 24 of its franchises (soon to be 25, with Seattle) located in the lower 48....

Doyle served Pennsylvania’s 18th district, an area south of Pittsburgh, and was elected in 1995. He oversaw the state’s 14th district from 2003 to 2019 on account of redistricting before being switched back to the 18th. Price served North Carolina’s 4th district, an area surrounding the northern part of Raleigh, since 1987 and was briefly voted out of office in favor of a Republican between 1995 and 1997 before regaining the seat....

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular due to the environmental benefits they offer, as they do not produce any emissions and are more energy-efficient than their traditional counterparts. It is no wonder that there is a lot of competition in the field of self-driving vehicles, and brands like Tesla are massively ahead of their competitors. Afeela is the new self-driving car in town Sony unveiled a prototype of their new self-driving electric vehicle in a joint venture with Honda....

For a platform well acquainted with JRPGs, this omission does seem odd. This is especially true when considering developer Atlus’ affiliation with the hybrid console, as seen with the release of 2021’s Shin Megami Tensei V. However, not all could be lost yet, as insider Alanah Pearce suggests a new Nintendo Direct will be taking place soon. The upcoming rumored Nintendo Direct may hold the answers to Persona fans’ query A Sony Santa Monica employee named Alanah Pearce recently hosted a Twitch stream during which she talked about the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase....

When seeking mental health support, choosing a provider can be confusing. The roles of therapists and counselors overlap, and the terms “counselor” and “therapist” are sometimes used interchangeably. Even so, there are differences between the two professionals that may impact which one would be a good fit for someone seeking care. Learn more about what counselors and therapists are, their differences, and things to consider when choosing a provider....

A visibly delighted Rathore congratulated Indian medal winners of the just-concluded Asian Games but said their real journey has just begun. “You made the entire country proud with your achievements. We salute the passion you have shown but this journey is not complete,” Rathore said during a function to felicitate the medal winners with cash awards here. “The countdown now has started for the Olympics (2020 Tokyo). You can’t be satisfied with this....

The incident was spotted by David Harris, a local resident living nearby, who noted his wife had driven past the site of the water main break just moments before the van began sinking into the road, WESH Orlando reports. “I went inside to get her and to show my wife, and by that time the water was halfway up the motor, the hood,” Harris said. The couple inside the van were reported to have been rescued safely with the help of “good Samaritans” nearby, according to WPTV....

The riders would have prevented the federal government from interfering with legal cannabis companies and eased their access to U.S. banking services, among other things the industry has said it needs to function properly. Instead, cannabis businesses––which are fully legal in 11 states to date––will continue to face onerous levels of red tape and uncertainty well into 2020, despite their rapidly growing size and popularity among U.S. consumers. One of the most significant riders to the spending package would have prevented the U....

While we can look back at UFC 178 in hindsight knowing the achievements these fighters have accomplished in their careers, the card did not have much fanfare at the time. The 205,000 reported pay-per-view (PPV) purchases were a low amount, even by 2014 standards. UFC 178 was originally set to be headlined by a rematch of the UFC 165 Hall of Fame fight between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson. Due to an injury, Gustafsson had to pull out and Daniel Cormier was set to step in as the challenger before Jones was injured....

The Notorious One and The Diamond have competed twice against one another. Conor McGregor won the first fight, whereas Dustin Poirier leveled the score by winning the rematch. Both contests featured a considerable amount of striking, whereas the grappling exchanges took place in the rematch. Most exchanges in both their fights, especially the significant ones, transpired in the striking realm. On that note, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have now insinuated that they’ll be partaking in an all-out striking war in their trilogy matchup....

In photographs and video footage widely circulated online, UFC fighter McGregor, 33, was seen swinging at Kelly, 31, on the red carpet at New York City’s Barclays Center, before security personnel held him back. According to TMZ, McGregor attempted to approach Kelly to greet him with a handshake before he was pushed back by the musician’s security. Video footage shared on Twitter showed a furious McGregor throwing his drink, said to be aimed at Kelly and his girlfriend, Megan Fox, before their respective teams held them back and prevented things from escalating further....

Today McGregor was announced as the cover athlete for the upcoming “EA Sports UFC 3” video game, marking the second time he adorns the cover. He was also featured on “EA Sports UFC 2” but shared the spotlight with Ronda Rousey. The influence of McGregor goes well beyond just his appearance on the cover. Career Mode in “UFC 3” will place a great deal of importance on rivalries and fight promotions, areas in which McGregor has excelled at in creating hype for his fights and building his personal brand....

He has headlined the five highest selling pay-per-view events. As he looks to make his return, fans reacted to ESPN’s list of potential opponents. Conor McGregor may not be the same fighter he was in his prime, going just 1-3 in four UFC fights since his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2017. He remains a very big draw and it is no surprise that some of the promotion’s best fighters are willing to fight McGregor....

Now, McGregor seems to have recovered and fans may expect to see him soon. The question is who will McGregor fight next? It would only be fair if the Irishman is granted a chance to redeem himself against Dustin Poirier. McGregor showed open hostility towards Poirier in the cage even after the fight was stopped. McGregor must be itching to settle the score with his longtime-rival ‘The Diamond’. In his last five fights in the octagon, the Irishman has lost three and won two....

The conservative actor, who famously used the app to support right-wing agendas and rip the members of the left, was absent on the social media app for nearly 10 months. However, the 72-year-old wrote that the “blazing insight” shared on Twitter forced him to return from his “vacation.” “I’ve tried so hard this past year to live without the wealth of knowledge available on Twitter, but this kind of blazing insight can be found nowhere else, so… I’m back!...
