George Will reported in his Newsweek column, “More Stimulating that the Stimulus,” that “In Ottawa, the sensitivity police in a children’s soccer league announced that any team attaining a five-goal lead would be declared to have lost, thereby sparing the feelings of those who were, if you will pardon the expression, losing.” This was confirmed […]

by Dina Ely in Other-Non Media, Reviews, Soccer News, Society and Culture, Sports News

As reported by powerhouse engines like Google and Yahoo, social networking is the monarch of the Internet. Sites like MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, Perfspot, and others clearly dominated 2007’s search terms. Now the trend of niche social networking/interaction sites—MySpace for select markets, if you will—is on the rise. A shining example is SoccerFlow.com, giving fans of […]

Sports Boycotts to stop Mugabe

Posted in September 15th, 2007
by Nancy Reyes in African News, All News, Soccer News, Society and Culture, Sports News

I have a “Mugabe” site about the meltdown of the economy in Zimbabwe and the civil rights issues there. One reason Mugabe can get away with it is because South Africa’s president Mbeki is keeping him in power (via money and political support). The local churches and trade unions have tried to pressure Mbeki to […]
