Bitter End To A Good Year For The Mexican National Team

MORE: Messi to Premier League? | Americans make negative headlines “You can’t be happy with so much carelessness,” was his verdict on El Tri’s worst performance since he took charge. It stood in stark contrast to the scenes of delight in the Mexico camp following last week’s 3-2 win over the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The weather – 28 degrees at kick off – was obviously against El Tri and the fact there were 10 changes for the side that extracted a little bit of revenge over Arjen Robben’s Dutch team impacted Mexico’s chemistry fluidity....

Black Americans Are Hurting. Here S How The Gop Can Reach Them. Opinion

Black Americans are hurting right now, after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

It could draw near and say, “We hear and empathize with you....

Black Lives Matter S Betrayal Of Black Life Opinion

Supporting a hate crime hoaxter in the name of racial solidarity is a far cry from the movement’s origins in 2014 to shine a light on police brutality, particularly the killing of unarmed Black men.
