The outrage against the group started over the weekend, after the Lincoln Project posted a video ripped from @ScribblinTaylor’s Twitter account. The video, shared on Friday, features clips of USPS workers delivering mail set with a twinkling filter while Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “W.A.P.” plays in the background. The Lincoln Project shared the exact same filtered video on its Twitter on Saturday, except the group used a remix of The Marvelettes’ classic “Please Mr....

In the 1975 Prudential World Cup, India went in with almost no experience of ODI cricket, and all they had to show for their efforts was a win over the part-time cricketers from East Africa. In 1979, they lost all their three group matches, including a loss against Sri Lanka, the only team as part of the associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) at that time. Hence, it was quite a surprise when India clinched the title in 1983 after defeating the hot favorites West Indies....

The right-handed batsman played 13 Tests and 125 ODIs for India in a career-spanning six years and was part of the side for the 2003 World Cup. His most memorable moment in India colours came in 2002, when he made an unbeaten 87 to help India win the Natwest Trophy final against England at Lord’s, in dramatic fashion. Here are some of the wishes for Kaif on his birthday:...

After a wave of draconian laws in the 1990s aimed at “superpredator youth,” some states are reconsidering their harsh approach. Florida Sen. Steven Geller hopes the Tate case will boost support for a law he’s proposed that would divert kids who are convicted in criminal court–and are under 15 and lack prior convictions–to a youthful-offender program for sentencing. An Illinois law passed last year gave the power to decide whether a juvenile should be tried as an adult from prosecutors back to judges....

The Consumer Price Index for October recorded a 6.2 percent increase year on year in figures published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday, with notable rises in the price of food and energy.

Trick or treat! Ronaldo gets into Halloween spirit The epitome of a modern-day footballer, the Portugal international could well have been created in an interstellar laboratory and sent to earth to wreak havoc on unsuspecting opponents. The 31-year-old’s latest post on social media has him playing up to that image, with there more than a hint of the Terminator about him. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous character in the cult movie from 1984 was a model T-800, while its 2016 equivalent would appear to be the CR7....

The Portuguese star left Manchester United to sign the richest contract in sports and he’ll be wearing a new shirt beginning in January 2023 following spells with Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.

With Manchester United having flown down to Portugal to take on Sporting Lisbon, the English defenders weren’t aware of who Cristiano Ronaldo was and what he could do on the pitch....

Confirmation from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) means Italy’s top-flight will have to wait longer than first hoped. Clubs selected Saturday, June 13 as their target return date but are expected to wait at least another week before the 2019-20 season can resume. The country’s prime minister Giuseppe Conte signed off a decree on Sunday which banned “any event and sporting competition of any order and discipline” until June 14....

UEFA on Tuesday said it had fined the Croatian Football Federation 80,000 euros ($100,000, 64,500 pounds) after its supporters racially abused Italy’s Mario Balotelli. European football’s governing body said the fine was imposed “for the setting-off and throwing of fireworks and the improper conduct of supporters (racist chants, racist symbols)” at last Thursday’s Group C match in Poznan, western Poland. “An appeal can be lodged against this decision within three days of the dispatch of the reasoned decision,” a statement on the organisation’s website said....
