SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has joined soccer clubs and players in coming out to support star striker Vinícius Júnior after he once more faced racist abuse in a Spanish league match on Sunday.The latest incident took place in Real Madrid’s 1-0 loss at Valencia, a match that had to be temporarily stopped after the Brazil forward said he was insulted by a fan behind one of the goals at Mestalla Stadium.Valencia fans were filmed making monkey chants toward Vinícius, who is Black. Lula told a news conference in Japan on the sidelines of a G7 meeting that he hopes FIFA, the Spanish League and other soccer bodies “take measures so we don’t allow racism and fascism to take over” in the sport.“It is not fair that a poor boy who is winning in his life, becoming one of the best in the world, certainly the best at Real Madrid, is insulted in every stadium he goes to,” Lula said. Several of his cabinet ministers also backed Vinicius and were critical of the Spa...

Scheffler’s late charge at PGA not enough to catch Koepka, he’ll have to settle for No. 1

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:34:17 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler has gotten so used to the putts he needs to make going in during his rise to stardom, when they don’t, it’s a surprise.And during the final round of the PGA Championship, a little cruel, too.While Scheffler put together a game charge during the final round on Sunday, his 5-under 65 was tainted with what might have been. Scheffler saw a 16-foot birdie putt on the par-4 first hole spin around the hole before staying out. So did an 8-foot par putt on the ninth.Those go in and maybe Scheffler tracks down the front-running Brooks Koepka. They didn’t, evidence that the game can punish even the best in the world sometimes too.Scheffler called the two lip-outs “the worst” he’s ever seen. Yet in typically modest fashion, he declined to blame them on his inability to catch Koepka. He had 72 holes to try to beat Koepka and even though he made fewer bogeys (seven) than everyone else in the 156-man field, he didn’t.“I g...

RESEÑA | “Fast X” se prepara para más secuelas, a pesar de su agotamiento

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:34:17 GMT

(CNN) — Veintidós años de películas de “The Fast & the Furious” han creado suficientes personajes e historia como para que abunden los cameos y los reencuentros en “Fast X”. Sin embargo, a pesar de su acción de alto octanaje, esta décima película no hace más que acelerar el motor para más secuelas venideras, dando inicio a una historia en varias partes que ofrece una forma apropiadamente inflada de llevar esta ruidosa empresa a un final (sin duda temporal).A pesar de las caras conocidas que aparecen ampliamente o que pasan de largo, el elemento definitorio de la última película reside en su nuevo villano, Dante, interpretado con un gusto salvaje y exagerado por Jason Momoa. Motivado por una sed de venganza que se explica durante la secuencia inicial, la caracterización de Momoa tiene cierta relación con el Joker (tal vez queriendo evocar a Nicholson o Ledger, pero más a Cesar Romero), desatando un torpe maremoto que, en general, es más deleznable qu...
