SYDNEY (AP) — Australia batter Usman Khawaja has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council for wearing a black armband in support of Palestinians in Gaza during the first cricket test against Pakistan.ICC regulations prevent cricketers from displaying messages of political, religious or racial causes during international matches.Khawaja was born in Pakistan and is the first Muslim to play test cricket for Australia.An ICC spokesperson confirmed the charge in breach of the clothing and equipment regulations to Australian media.“Usman displayed a personal message (armband) during the first test match against Pakistan without seeking the prior approval of Cricket Australia and the ICC to display it, as required in the regulations for personal messages,” it said. “This is a breach under the category of an ‘other breach’ and the sanction for a first offense is a reprimand.”The charge means Khawaja can accept a warning and continue to play.

Patriots fan's death ruled homicide; 2 men charged with assault

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:08 GMT

FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — The Office of Massachusetts’ Chief Medical Examiner has ruled the September death of a longtime New England Patriots fan a homicide, according to a release from Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey.Dale Mooney, a 53-year-old from Newmarket, New Hampshire, collapsed at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 17 after a physical altercation during a game between the Patriots and the Dolphins. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.While an initial autopsy indicated that Mooney’s death was the result of a medical issue, the final results from the medical examiner determined the altercation caused Mooney, who had severe atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, to experience a “probable cardiac dysrhythmia” that led to his death.John Vieira, 59, and Justin Mitchell, 39, both of Warwick, have been charged with assault and disorderly conduct, as Morrissey ruled that the existing evidence does not provide a sufficient basis for homicide charges.

Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert on the fringe of the early MVP conversation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:08 GMT

The Timberwolves won’t have the NBA’s Most Valuable Player winner on their roster this season, but the team’s early success has at least pushed a couple of their stars into the conversation.ESPN’s Tim Bontemps released his first edition of the 2023-24 MVP straw poll, in which NBA award voters send their current picks to the national writer.One hundred voters submitted ballots ranking the top five choices for the league’s top individual honor. Anthony Edwards made his first appearance on the straw ballot, garnering three third-place votes and two fifth-place votes, putting him in a tie with Kevin Durant for eighth place in total voting points, while center Rudy Gobert received one fifth-place vote.Those voting results came with Minnesota (20-6) a half-game behind the Celtics (21-6) for the best record in the NBA, so there doesn’t seem to be a path for either Gobert or Edwards to truly enter the MVP conversation.Gobert has been the best defensive player in the NBA this season.

MN pharmacist refused to fill emergency contraception prescription. Court to decide if that was discrimination

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:08 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS — Attorneys for a woman who was denied emergency contraception in 2019 told the Minnesota Court of Appeals Thursday that the pharmacist who refused to fill the prescription discriminated against her on the basis of her sex.But an attorney for George Badeaux, the pharmacist at Thrifty White in central Minnesota, said his refusal to provide the drug due to his religious beliefs was not a violation of state and federal law.A jury ruled last year that Badeaux did not discriminate against Andrea Anderson, a mother and foster parent, when he refused to fill her prescription for Ella, a drug that is used to stop a pregnancy before it starts. The jury also awarded Anderson $25,000 due to emotional harm — money she can’t collect because there was no finding of discrimination, said Jess Braverman, one of Anderson’s lawyers.Gender Justice, an advocacy organization for gender equity, and other lawyers for Anderson appealed the jury’s ruling this year.“This was pregnancy-related disc...
