But after a string of brutal life events in the late 2000s turned my world upside down, I found myself floundering, rage-filled, and drowning in fear and shame. I initially turned to religion for help and answers but only found platitudes that further fed my resentment and despair. Then I sought therapy and found a string of therapists that seemed to agree with whatever I was saying. Supportive? Yes. Helpful in changing my dire circumstances?...

Alexis’ ‘Hand of Dog’ goal’ Speculation has been building as to the Frenchman’s future plans as he has not signed a new deal with the Emirates club, who appear destined to go another season without claiming the Premier League trophy. Earlier this week, Gunners great Ian Wright said that when he met Wenger for dinner, he got the impression that the former Nancy and Monaco coach was ready to give up the job in the summer....

However, Perry somehow ended up in a face-off against Russian middleweight Magomed Ismailov, even though they were not supposed to fight. The face-off, which started with a few friendly taunts, almost escalated into a full-fledged brawl after ‘Platinum’ used a specific slur. The fighters had to be separated after punches started to fly from both ends. Watch Mike Perry’s face-off with Magomed Ismailov below: Perry explained that while the Russians take the slur at face value, it has an entirely different connotation in America....

It’s now been more almost 12 weeks of lockdown in the UK and this experience has been confusing, enlightening, scary and inspiring. However, the past few weeks in particular have been incredibly taxing and exhausting due to the murder of George Floyd. I’ve struggled at times to deal with the feelings I’ve had to confront about experiences I’ve had due to my race, ones that I had successfully compartmentalized before now....

The 33-year-old welterweight isn’t someone who usually engages in trash-talking and has spent most of his career avoiding it. However, in this case, Magny didn’t hold back his words and claimed that he would slap Chimaev the moment they cross paths. Taking to Twitter, Chimaev gave props to Michael Chiesa for his recent win but also took a subtle shot at Neil Magny. The two welterweights recently fought in a five-round main event on Fight Island, replacing Khamzat Chimaev and Leon Edwards as the main attraction of the card....

In a gripping 4-hour 49-minute contest which concluded at 2.04 a.m. on Wednesday, world number one Nadal won through to keep his bid for a fourth title in New York and 18th Grand Slam crown on track. However, the 32-year-old was fortunate to triumph on another hot and humid night at Flushing Meadows, 24 hours after Roger Federer had been dumped out of the tournament by John Millman. After suffering a first set ‘bagel’, Nadal had to battle back from breaks in the third and fourth sets before seeing off the first top 20 player he had faced at the US Open since 2013....

As well as insisting he remains a Colchonero – a term used to describe players, coaches and fans associated to Atleti – the France international declared recent rumours about his next move were inaccurate. Bernardo Silva signs for Manchester City Griezmann declared no verdict on his future will be reached until he has held talks with his representatives. “The rumours are unfounded, I am still a Colchonero,” Griezmann wrote on Twitter late on Friday....

The Ghana international made only two appearances at Dean Court during his loan from Chelsea in the 2015-16 season. But the winger who has become an integral part of Rafael Benitez’s plans said he was ‘unlucky’ at the Cherries but has since moved on from that phase of his career. “I have nothing to prove to Bournemouth,” Atsu told club website. “I was unlucky, I had a lot of injuries while I was at Bournemouth and the team was also doing well so it was difficult for the manager to change the squad....

The U.S. national team’s quadrennial World Cup qualifier against Mexico — played at Mapfre Stadium since 2001 — already represented the most-hyped home game for the Americans each cycle.

GALLERY: Goal’s USA-Mexico combined XI As a divided nation grapples with the surprising election of Republican nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday, the incoming president’s harsh views on illegal immigration from Mexico to the U....

The Armenian midfielder brought a frustrating spell at Old Trafford to a close during the January transfer window when he completed a switch to Emirates Stadium. Having slipped in and out of the United side under Mourinho, Mkhitaryan linked up with a Premier League rival as part of a deal which saw Alexis Sanchez go in the opposite direction. The 29-year-old is loving life under Arsene Wenger in north London, with regular game time and a prominent role in an attack-minded team allowing him to play to his strengths....

She shared her thoughts and reflected on some great moments in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda. India will field seven wrestlers for the Tokyo Olympics.

Sakshi says it is a big opportunity for them to represent the country and they should enjoy the moment....

It’s seen better days, of course. It could do with a lick of paint here and there, and the pitch has been ripped up to be re-laid ahead of next season. “Much needed,” says the guard on the gate. At one end of the ground, the 31st Stockport Beer & Cider Festival is in full swing. Pies and pints are keeping the patrons happy, while a local Ska band will take to the stage later in the evening....

How Arsenal must rebuild for next season The 67-year-old has been with the Gunners for 21 years, and with his contract due to expire at the end of the present campaign, no new deal is yet in place to guarantee his future with the London side. Speculation has grown over his destiny in recent weeks as his side have dropped off the pace at the top of the Premier League table, and following a 5-1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich in midweek has only escalated further....

Jesus arrived at the Emirates Stadium from Manchester City in the recently concluded summer transfer window for a reported fee of around £45 million. The forward was given the number nine shirt and is leading their attack in the 2022-23 season. Pep Guardiola has acknowledged the fact that he had a talented player in Jesus. Manchester City could not pass on the opportunity to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund and thus decided to sell Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal....

The 1979 Punahou School graduate spent his high school days dribbling a basketball in one hand with books safely in the other. Because he lived within walking distance, he would get to campus early and shoot baskets before class on the outdoor courts, occasionally sneaking into the main gym if he could. Either way, slippers or sneakers, his reps resumed during lunch break. After practice, he would go home, have dinner and then go play pickup at the park for another hour or two....

Then, at the end of 7th grade, when I was 13, a friend sent me a funny YouTube video by Gigi Gorgeous. I began to explore her content and came across the video where she comes out as a trans woman. I felt so connected to what Gigi was saying and I felt so heard. From there, I began to research and educate myself, because I was so curious about what it was to be trans....

The 1986 World Cup winner has been a lively presence in the stands throughout a testing Russia 2018 campaign for Jorge Sampaoli’s side. On Tuesday, the enigmatic 57-year-old was back in the stands to take in a must-win encounter in St Petersburg, with his evening proving to be as eventful as the action which played out on the field. Argentina were able to book their place in the last 16 with a dramatic 86th-minute goal from Marcos Rojo , with that effort leading Maradona to indulge in his own unique brand of celebration ....

One by one, a host of celebrity offspring have stepped forward to downplay the positive impact their connections have had on their own careers in the entertainment field. I was particularly incensed when Lily-Rose Depp (who it should be noted I am a fan of) suggested that it was misogynistic to be labeled a nepo baby, when it is unquestionable that her being the child of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis is why the proverbial doors were opened for her....

Seeing my children open their gifts on Christmas day is always exciting, especially because they’re young. I find that young children are easily excitable compared to older children. Most years, my children would be anticipating Christmas day and would tell me the toys that they liked in advance. Then I would buy those toys for them. For example, my daughter loves plastic dolls, and she also loves to draw, so I would buy her those....
