You do not … Continue reading Firearms, just an American issue ?
The Brooklyn Nets are getting better after a difficult beginning of 2022/2023 NBA season, and the teammates of Kevin Durant won their last two games against Washington and Charlotte lately, but the news are not really focused on the basketball court. Kyrie Irving’s five-game suspension by the franchise due to anti-Semitic posts on Instagram is strangely benefiting the squad who keeps winning ever since, but … Continue reading Ime Udoka with the Brooklyn nets?

Football is much more than a sport or even a business: it is the opportunity to give away for those who became successful thanks to the black and white ball (which tends to be everything but black and white now by the way, but this is another marketing issue). Last night in Paris, Châtelet Theater, the most prestigious individual award for a football player, Ballon … Continue reading Bambali Ballon d’Or
