Since ancient times, China has maintained the traditional custom of establishing friendship by competing martial arts with one other. The video depicts such a martial arts interaction between physical teacher and student. Do you have a favorite ‘communicator?’ #China #martialarts

LeBron is out here celebrating a few made baskets while there's a war going on in Ukraine. I'm literally throwing up. Does he have no shame?

Let's get this straight.
An NFL player loses their $11 million salary for betting $1500 on a game.
Meanwhile, politicians are making multiple trades on private information, expecting a rally.
This is inexcusable.

Novak Djokovic is on the tournament entry list, and therefore is placed into the draw today. We are currently in communication with his team; however, it has not been determined if he will participate in the event by getting CDC approval to enter the country.

Russia will appeal its soccer suspension to CAS - spoke to legal expert @Ant1Duval for @ReutersSports about it and he says UEFA / FIFA could successfully argue they face an 'existential threat' to their competitions if Russia competes.

America's unfair advantage: @arielhelwani came to study journalism at @SyracuseU, saw his entrepreneurial spirit thrive over 2 decades, & became a globally recognized leader in his field.
So congrats to the Helwanis - Americans by choice - but congrats to us, too - we win again!
Mr. and Mrs. Helwani officially became American Citizens today. 🥳
Canada will always be No. 1 in my heart, but after coming to this country 21 years ago with a dream - and many visas later - this feels pretty damn great.
God bless. 🇨🇦 x 🇺🇸
