Paige Spiranac reveals perils of being a woman in sports - and why they will 'always be pushed back' by men READ MORE: Golf glamour girl Paige Spiranac hits back at trolls on social media By LEOCCIANO CALLAO Published: 22:13, 9 December 2024 | Updated: 22:15, 9 December 2024 e-mail 10 View comments Paige Spiranac laid out the struggles for women in sports after a viral tweet slandering female sports broadcasters. On Monday, the golf influencer took to X and went off on a tweet from user TJ Moe during a college football broadcast on ESPN. 'Who actually wants to watch three women stand around and talk about football? I do not,' he wrote over a photo of the pre-game coverage before writing a follow-up. 'Let me clarify: No one wants to listen to 3 women talk football. Men are better at it-- it's like asking cats to bark,' he explained. 'I issue no apology and no retracts. 'Most people agree with me, they're just afraid to say it. Carry on with your outrage.' Spiranac then explained how plenty of successful broadcasters and coaches did not play the sports they cover and coach past the high school level.

'So let's break it down, you're a woman who wants to work in the sports industry and you have a deep understanding of sports and you have a right to be there,' Spiranac said. 'However, you'll never get the highest opportunities because men only wanna listen to other men talk about sports. ' 'So you use whatever else you have in your toolbox to get opportunities, maybe that's your looks,' she added. 'As soon as you use your looks, for example, you're objectifying yourself and no one will take you seriously.' 'Even when you weren't, you were never taken seriously or given opportunities. It's a vicious cycle, and it's never-ending.' Further elaborating on the double standards, Spiranac cited Nelly Korda posing for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and women having to objectify themselves to market their work. 'Your counter is women can talk about women's sports, but women's sports don't get the funding, which means they don't get the eyeballs. And men wanna watch men play sports,' she said. 'Women try to market themselves outside their sport. Nelly Korda doing [Sports Illustrated], they're condemned for even though men do the body issue.' Spiranac made a name for herself as a sports social media personality after a career in golf Spiranac cited golf star Nelly Korda posing for Sports Illustrated while making her argument 'As you can see, there are still a lot of challenges that women face in the sports industry,' she continued. 'Wear what you wanna wear, say what you wanna say, do what you wanna do because no matter what you do, how you do it, you will always get push back and someone will always have something to say.' 'So do what you want to do and keep pushing,' Spiranac closed to nearly three-minute clip. 'I’m sure this take will provoke only kind comments and absolutely no one will tell me to shut up because of what I like to wear lol,' she captioned.

A judge in an Ottawa courtroom Friday said the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that King was guilty on one count each of mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and counselling others to obstruct police. He was also found guilty of two counts of disobeying a court order. The Alberta resident was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police himself. King could be facing up to 10 years in prison. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to begin on Jan. 16. The Crown is seeking “significant” incarceration time in a penitentiary while the defence wants King to be sentenced to time served and a period of probation. King’s attorney Natasha Calvinho said right now she is focused on the sentencing hearing and will determine if any other action, such as an appeal, will be pursued at a later date. Calvinho said she and her client are disappointed with the ruling, but she said it was well reasoned. “I think what the more important takeaway here, and what we’ve been saying from the very beginning, Mr. King was acquitted of all charges related to inciting any form of violence, specifically intimidation of Ottawa residents,” Calvinho said outside the courthouse. “So yes, he was convicted, a couple counts of mischief for his social media posts, as the judge found, and will continue to fight another day.” The maximum sentence for mischief in this instance is 10 years. In January 2022 the convoy attracted thousands of demonstrators to Parliament Hill in protest against public-health restrictions, COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the federal government. The event gridlocked downtown streets around Parliament Hill, with area residents complaining about the fumes from diesel engines running non-stop, and unrelenting noise from constant honking of horns and music parties. The federal Liberal government ultimately invoked the Emergencies Act to try and bring an end to the protests, which had expanded to also block several border crossings into the United States. Ottawa Police brought in hundreds of officers from police forces across Canada to force the protest to an end. King’s defence argued that King was peacefully protesting during the three-week demonstration and was not a leader of it. But the Crown alleged he was a protest leader who was instrumental to the disruption the protest caused the city and people who lived and worked nearby. The Crown alleged King co-ordinated the honking, ordering protesters to lay on the horn every 30 minutes for 10 minutes at a time and told people to “hold the line” when he was aware police and the city had asked the protesters to leave. The Crown’s case relied mainly on King’s own videos, which he posted to social media throughout the protest to document the demonstration and communicate with protesters. The court proceedings paused for about 10 minutes when King requested a short “health break” after the first verdicts on the mischief charges were read. Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland described the honking as “malicious conduct” intended to disrupt residents, workers, businesses and others from lawfully enjoying downtown Ottawa. Hackland also said that the videos show King was seen as and accepted the leadership role. He pointed to a quote from King, finding it “hilarious” that residents could not sleep for 10 days as “gleefully” aiding and abetting mischief. This evidence also played a role in determining King’s guilt in disobeying a court order and counselling others to do the same. These charges relate to the original Feb. 7, 2022 injunction against using air and train horns in downtown Ottawa which was launched by residents. The city successfully filed a similar injunction days later. As for counselling others to obstruct police, Hackland found King’s call to “hold the line” was telling people not to move from the protest site despite police orders. The judge said that phrase can be seen as a greeting between supporters of the convoy protest, but said there was no other logical interpretation in the context of King’s videos. In the days before a multi-day police removal operation began, King called on people to link arms and sit down with their backs to police if officers tried to move them. On the intimidation charges, Hackland said that a consistent theme of King’s videos were calls to remain peaceful and non-violent. He said that the target was always the federal government and COVID-19 policies, and specific individuals were not targeted by or through King’s actions. As for an intimidation charge related to blocking highways, Hackland said that finding guilt in this instance would be an “overly broad” interpretation of the Criminal Code as the blockade was done as part of a political protest, which is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. His trial was heard over several weeks between May and July. King still has charges of perjury and obstruction of justice that need to be dealt with which is a separate matter stemming from an April 2022 bail review hearing. Details of the testimony that led to the charges are protected under a publication ban, which exists for all information that arises during a bail hearing.aaa jili slot game 。

Vincerx Pharma Enters into a Binding Term Sheet for a Strategic Merger with Oqory, Inc.

LONDON — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor "brutally raped and battered" her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. His lawyer had called Hand a gold digger. The fighter, once the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but now past his prime, shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men found him liable for assault after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. He later said on the social platform X that he would appeal the verdict and the "modest award." Hand's voice cracked and her hands trembled as she read a statement outside the courthouse, saying she would never forget what happened to her but would now be able to move on with her life. She thanked her family, partner, friends, jurors, the judge and all the supporters that had reached out to her online, but particularly her daughter. "She has given me so much strength and courage over the last six years throughout this nightmare to keep on pushing forward for justice," she said. "I want to show (her) and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served." The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual violence unless they come forward publicly, as Hand has done. Under Irish law, she did not have the anonymity she would have been granted in a criminal proceeding and was named publicly throughout the trial. Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client. "He's not a man, he's a coward," attorney John Gordon said in his closing speech. "A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is." Gordon said his client never pretended to be a saint and was only looking to have fun when she sent McGregor a message through Instagram after attending a Christmas party. He said Hand knew McGregor socially and that they had grown up in the same area. She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel. Hand said she told McGregor she didn't want to have sex with him and that she was menstruating. She said she told him "no" as he started kissing her but he eventually pinned her to a bed and she couldn't move. McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, "now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times," referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said. Hand had to take several breaks in emotional testimony over three days. She said McGregor threatened to kill her during the encounter and she feared she would never see her young daughter again. Eventually, he let go of her. "I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn't tell anyone so he wouldn't hurt me again," she testified. She said she then let him do what he wanted and he had sex with her. A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries. Hand said the trauma of the attack had left her unable to work as a hairdresser, she fell behind on her mortgage and had to move out of her house. Police investigated the woman's complaint but prosecutors declined to bring charges, saying there was insufficient evidence and a conviction was unlikely. McGregor, in his post on X, said he was disappointed jurors didn't see all the evidence prosecutors had reviewed. He testified that the two had athletic and vigorous sex, but that it was not rough. He said "she never said 'no' or stopped" and testified that everything she said was a lie. "It is a full blown lie among many lies," he said when asked about the chokehold allegation. "How anyone could believe that me, as a prideful person, would highlight my shortcomings." McGregor's lawyer told jurors they had to set aside their animus toward the fighter. "You may have an active dislike of him, some of you may even loathe him – there is no point pretending that the situation might be otherwise," attorney Remy Farrell said. "I'm not asking you to invite him to Sunday brunch." The defense said the woman never told investigators McGregor threatened her life. They also showed surveillance video in court that they said appeared to show the woman kiss McGregor's arm and hug him after they left the hotel room. Farrell said she looked "happy, happy, happy." McGregor said he was "beyond petrified" when first questioned by police and read them a prepared statement. On the advice of his lawyer, he refused to answer more than 100 follow-up questions. The jury ruled against Hand in a case she brought against one of McGregor's friends, James Lawrence, whom she accused of having sex with her in the hotel without consent.

Daniel Jones Next Team Odds: Contenders jockeying for QB?

There's not much else we can say about the year that Doechii is having. One of TDE 's brightest stars, the Swamp Princess has certainly earned that nickname in 2024 . After breaking into the mainstream briefly with "What It Is" last year, not many were sure of where she could go from there. However, after a few spot singles and loosies getting more explorative, people began to pay closer attention. Then, in August of this year she went to make a serious statement that she was here to stay. That being her debut mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal . Regardless of the majority of the tracks having such short runtimes, her emotional and stylistic ranges were something to behold. It almost felt like this was her true introduction to everyone and it's one that's going to stick with us for years to come. On top of praise from the more casual listeners, critics have fallen in love with her potential and current talent. It's up for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance in part due to "NISSAN ALTIMA." Additionally, she's a nominee for Best New Artist and Remixed Recording. Now, it's a matter of Doechii following up on this run with a debut album that's even better or on par with her mixtape.

According to Uproxx , Doechii shared an interesting teaser trailer to her social media called, "Denial Is A River Show." It's of course a direct correlation to her incredible track of the same name and it looks to be a music video. There's been some light speculation online that Doechii is teasing features for her album that she says is coming in '25. It would some guest list too as TDE label mates ScHoolboy Q and SiR pop in. Others include Teezo Touchdown, Zack Fox, Rickey Thompson, Baby Tate, and DJ Miss Milan. Earl Sweatershirt rounds things out as "Brad Pitt" in reference to the meme above. Everyone is introduced in Family Matters fashion with the original theme song from the 90's sitcom included too.
