Alex Eala has one career main-draw win at the US Open. She’s already a global star

Alex Eala has become the Philippines’ biggest sporting star since Manny Pacquiao. Now the 21-year-old’s traveling army of fans have descended on Flushing Meadows

The crowd began to swell in Louis Armstrong Stadium a half hour before 2pm. A fair number of fans were probably there to see Taylor Fritz and Terence Atmane practice, but it was the session after theirs that was the headline attraction on the Friday of the US Open’s fan week. The blue, red and white throughout the stands, spotted on bucket hats and posters and basketball jerseys and flags, signaled who these people were here to see. mieszalniakolorado.pl

This has been the year of Alex Eala, the 21-year-old sensation who has taken the tennis world by storm. At No 18, she is the Philippines’ highest-ranked player ever, its biggest sports celebrity since Manny Pacquiao. The country’s president hosted a reception to celebrate her success, and called for a national celebration after she won her first tour-level title this month at the DC Open. Forbes estimates Eala’s off-court earnings for the past year to exceed $5m, plus $1.7m in prize money, and her agent predicts she will be the world’s second-highest-paid female athlete by 2027.

Villa punger ut for PSG-talent

Aston Villa betaler rundt 600 millioner kroner for å hente angrepsspilleren Ibrahim Mbaye (18) fra Paris Saint-Germain.
Premier League-klubben bekrefter overgangen på eget nettsted. Ifølge BBC koster Mbaye 55 millioner euro, som tilsvarer 597 millioner kroner etter dagens kurs.
Mbaye fikk PSG-debuten allerede som 16-åring og har blant annet vunnet to Champions League-pokaler til tross for sin unge alder.
I sommer scoret han Senegals mål i VM-åpningskampen mot Frankrike (1-3), og med det ble han tidenes yngste afrikanske målscorer i et fotball-VM.

Ruben Alte utlånt til dansk klubb

Sju uker etter at Viking hentet tilbake Ruben Alte fra Sandefjord er trønderen klar for en utlånsavtale til Viborg i dansk superliga.
Viborg har bare Nordsjælland foran seg på tabellen i Danmarks øverste divisjon. I bekreftelsen står det at Alte har kommet på lån ut sesongen, som varer fram til mai.
Videre opplyser Viborg at klubben har sikret seg en opsjon på å kjøpe Alte fri fra Viking-kontrakten.
26-åringen fra Namsos ble lånt ut til Sandefjord før sesongstart, men ble hentet tilbake igjen til klubben som eide ham i sommer.
Alte har også vært innom klubber som Steinkjer, Ranheim og Kristiansund.

Colin Kaepernick knelt 10 years ago. America responded with a clear warning to Black people | Howard Bryant

A decade after Kaepernick’s quiet protest shook the NFL, his exile looks less like an aberration than a blueprint for the culture war that followed

America likes nice round numbers, perfect for anniversaries and reflections, and it has, suddenly, been 10 years since Colin Kaepernick first protested police killings – more accurately, police killings of Black people that went unpunished either internally or by the courts – by taking a knee during the national anthem for the entirety of the 2016 NFL regular season. He never played in the league again.

Ten years covers a lot of ground, especially in these years of American darkness, and many of the important details surrounding Kaepernick, his banishment and significance have disappeared, time replaced by more time and more darkness – time moving faster than ever, at internet speed, where nothing matters, where nothing sticks. We consume by clip, by click, by meme, and knowledge by meme is not knowledge at all.
