NFL wants to clear path to Olympic flag football for players​


If Tyreek Hill and other NFL players want to switch to flag football for a summer and compete in the Olympics, the possibility is becoming more real. NFL executive Peter O'Reilly said Tuesday that the league will work with the players' union on allowing current and former players to participate after flag football was among five sports officially added to the 2028 Los Angeles Games by the International Olympic Committee. Hill, the Miami Dolphins' All-Pro wide receiver, expressed his interest after the official announcement, asking fellow NFL players to "bring one home" in a post on X. The NFL has worked hard to promote flag football and pushed for its inclusion in the Olympics. Last year, the league turned its annual Pro Bowl into a weeklong series of competitions culminating with the AFC and NFC all-stars playing flag football.

Subject: Cease and Desist - Disruptive Behavior


Dear Charles (@blackfoot NAP ; @C-40)

I am writing to address the persistent and disruptive activities that have become synonymous with your presence at TROLL KINGDOM. Your continuous posting of articles without any meaningful engagement, the incessant updating of threads with copied content, and the blatant use of "sock" accounts to manipulate post interactions, are detrimental to the community.

This letter serves as an explicit demand for the immediate cessation of these disruptive behaviors. TROLL KINGDOM is a space intended for substantive and meaningful discussions; your actions are not only counterproductive but actively detrimental to the community's atmosphere.

Your current online conduct reflects poorly on your own character and undermines the quality of interaction for genuine members seeking valuable discourse. It is evident that your approach deviates from the communal spirit TROLL KINGDOM strives to uphold.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your online conduct and recalibrate your approach to align with the ethos of TROLL KINGDOM. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no option but to escalate the matter further.

I trust that you will take this communication seriously and act promptly to rectify your online behavior.


Sincerely,

Paris 2024 Games a 'considerable challenge' for bomb disposal squad​


The Paris police bomb disposal team expect the Olympics to present them with a "considerable challenge" next year. They have been working with Paris 2024 organisers to define the right level of bomb clearing intervention during the Olympics and Paralympics in the French capital next summer, the director of the central police laboratory said on Monday. "The Olympic Games are an absolutely considerable challenge," Christophe Pezron said of the July 26-Aug. 11 event. "As far as bomb-disposal practice is concerned, there are two stages which are quite separate for us from the site inspection stages, since each of the Olympic Games sites will be inspected before being handed over to the organisers." "We carried out an inspection, a kind of rehearsal, at the Stade de France during the Rugby World Cup. So the first stage is these inspections of all the Olympic Games sites.

Court: Skaters can't be banned for competing in unrecognized events​

International Skating Union rules that sanction athletes for taking part in events it does not recognize were in breach of European Union competition law, the EU's top court said on Thursday. Upholding a previous ruling by a lower tribunal, the European Court of Justice said ISU's rules on the prior authorization of skating competitions infringe EU law. The European Commission - the EU's executive arm - decided in December 2017 that the ISU regulations had "as their object the restriction of competition." The commission ruled that severe penalties imposed on skaters served to protect ISU commercial interests, and ordered the federation to lift the regulations. The ISU contested the ruling and brought legal action.

LeBron, Curry, Embiid headline U.S. player pool for Olympics​


Looking to win a fifth consecutive Olympic gold in Paris this summer, against maybe the best international competition ever assembled, USA Basketball is hoping to lean on veterans and an important newly naturalized American. LeBron James, who hasn't played in the Olympics since 2012; Stephen Curry, who has never played in the Olympics; and Joel Emiid, who is from Cameroon but became a U.S. citizen in 2022, have all put their names up for consideration. They were some of the biggest names announced Tuesday as part of a 41-player pool in the first step toward deciding the 12-man team. Team USA finished out of the medals with a young team at the World Cup last summer. In the wake of that result, USA Basketball executive director Grant Hill, coach Steve Kerr and general manager Sean Ford have spent the past few months lobbying older players to join the roster. The list isn't binding; players could be added for consideration or could be removed over the next several months. But it's a window into the team's philosophy as the U.S. approaches an expected huge challenge.

USA Basketball sets women's training camp roster with 18 players​


Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Aliyah Boston and four Las Vegas stars headline USA Basketball's 18-person roster for its upcoming training camp ahead of the 2024 FIBA women's Olympic qualifying tournament. The training camp will take place Feb. 2-4 at Barclays Center in New York. A 12-person team will then be determined for the Olympic qualifying tournament, which runs from Feb. 8-11 in Antwerp, Belgium. The United States women's team already qualified for the Paris Olympics by virtue of winning the FIBA World Cup in the fall of 2022. The team has won seven consecutive Olympic gold medals dating to 1996.

Taurasi is hoping to make it to Paris and win a sixth Olympic gold medal, having played at each since 2004.
Griner, a two-time Olympian, could represent the U.S. in a major competition for the first time following her 10-month detainment in Russia in 2022.

World Aquatics disputes Italy swimming claim over suspended boss​

Barely six months before the Olympics start in Paris, there is confusion about who will be at the head of the Italian swimming federation. World Aquatics has disputed a statement issued by the Italian federation on Wednesday saying that suspended president Paolo Barelli had his appeal upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and will resume his duties. Barelli was given a two-year suspension in September 2022 for alleged financial irregularities and lost an appeal at CAS the following year. "Following a decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on 15 September 2023, Mr. Barelli remains suspended from all aquatics-related activity taking place under the auspices of World Aquatics or its members until 14 September 2024, notwithstanding more recent CAS decisions."

France downsizes Paris 2024 opening ceremony crowd to around 300,000 spectators​


French Interior minister Gerald Darmanin said Wednesday that some 300,000 spectators will be able to attend the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics, about half the size of what was originally planned. The giant show on the River Seine on July 26 will mark the first time that an opening ceremony is held outside of a usual stadium setting. It will also involve a massive security operation, with tens of thousands of police officers and soldiers deployed. The athletes will be paraded through the heart of the French capital on boats on the Seine along a 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) route. Both banks of the river will be lined by spectators, behind multiple security cordons. Organizers had originally estimated that around 600,000 spectators could watch the ceremony, but Darmanin did not give a reason for why they have revised those figures.

NHL going to Olympics, another 4-nation tourney​


The NHL is sending its players back to the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014, formally committing to the next two men's ice hockey tournaments in an agreement with the International Olympic Committee. The announcement was part of a larger international schedule rolled out by the NHL and the NHLPA that includes a four-team midseason tournament called the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025, with games played in the U.S. and Canada.

The NHL participated in five consecutive Olympics starting in 1998. The streak was broken when the NHL opted not to send players to the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics. That was due to a change in terms with the league's agreement with the IOC and also because "the overwhelming majority of our clubs" were "adamantly opposed" to disrupting the 2017-18 season for the Olympic Games in South Korea, according to Bettman.

In addition to the Olympics, the NHL and NHLPA are holding the 4 Nations Face-Off, a four-team tournament in February 2025 featuring teams representing the U.S., Canada, Sweden and Finland. It will be held in one city in the U.S. and one city in Canada. The 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off will consist of a total of seven games played over a nine-day period from Feb. 12 to 20, along with two designated training/practice days (Feb. 10 and Feb. 11).
