Jones is a bad image for the UFC. Steroid user and lost a fight for that. Hit and run after he plowed into a pregnant lady. Has been charged with assaulting his wife and he will not fight Tom Aspinall.
Im a Bama fan this has been one of the worst officiating I have ever seen in my 7 years of watching college football. He shouldn’t just be him who should be investigated it should be Jason Autry and the others too.
In the auburn Georgia game I could see the ball cross the line for a touchdown halfway across the kitchen on a tiny screen but after 30 minutes of review the ref couldn’t see it right in front of him
Let the boys play football without having to work against the refs! The Auburn Georgia game was the worst officiated game I have quite literally ever seen. Here is why:
- touchdown call ruled a fumble
- listening to Kirby even though he clearly called a timeout and still no delay of game
- targeting call on #4, but not on the 2 Georgia players in the 2nd half
- all the calls made in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half
- Arnold’s first down in the 1st half that they reviewed and marked him short
- many missed holding calls that led to Georgia gaining yards
- not reviewing any controversial plays in Georgia
- Holding call on Auburn in the 2nd half when he brushed the Georgia guy
- roughing the passer call in the 2nd half on Auburn
- and so many more
All of these completely shifted the momentum of the game. Auburn couldn’t even play without a flag or a play under review.
As a former collegiate equestrian student-athlete turned college recruiting consultant, I’ve seen firsthand how impactful these programs are—both during college and long after graduation. Over the past few years, interest in collegiate equestrian has exploded, with families now reaching out as early as middle school to understand pathways to ride at the next level.
Equestrian programs consistently produce student-athletes with some of the highest team GPAs on campus and foster discipline, leadership, time management, and academic excellence. Reinstating the UC Davis equestrian team matters not only to UC Davis, but to the sport of equestrian as a whole and to the countless young women who look to programs like this as a pathway to opportunity, growth, and leadership.
As a parent of 2 skaters that dedicate their lives to this sport, the actions of the IOC are a slap in the face to the integrity that is hammered into these skaters every time they take the ice. Chock and Bates were meticulous. We all saw the stumbles from Cizeron and they didn’t get called??
I am a competitive show skater and understand how judging works. What happened was wrong and deserves to be acknowledged it is. You have failed us athletes who watch team after team dreams shattered by your unfair rules. Please do something about this before you lose more people's faith
While I have never skated in my life, I have been doing marching band for almost eight years, and you learn to watch for the smallest of discrepancies in everything you do, from musical quality to your choreography. When watching the scoring and the errors made by the French pair, it was shocking to see that they got a better score than Chock and Bates. There were moments where they were out of sync and there were moments where one of them visibly stumbled and lost balance. It's clear that a heavy bias from the judges affected that final score, and I think it's important for the integrity of the Olympics that this be reviewed heavily. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's sad to see that this is a repeating problem.
Danya was very important for any chess player wanting to improve. I first came across his streams when he was playing blitz, where his impressive creativity and speed skills put him among the best blitzers in the world. I then saw his speedruns as SenseiDanya, the most educational and extensive chess content the world will have ever seen. Once he reached my rating, I made sure to wait hoping to face him. I was so excited to have a chance to play him and even had a completely winning position. Despite many people in the chat accusing me of cheating, Danya defended me and never once hinted at the possibility. A few years later and I am an NM, forever grateful to what his content has done to my chess and the chess of countless other improvers. I even got to play him many more times in speed events, where this time he mainly won easily, as those were much more serious games for him than a speedrun game.
What I wanted to say is that if he had accused me just because of my play, I may never have continued to play as much or watch him, as he was someone I really looked up to. Well, Kramnik was one of the players Danya looked up to and admired deeply. He knew the power his words could have on the kind Danya we all loved. Not once did he think to stop his relentless attacks, even when Danya voiced how much it was affected him. If Danya defended himself, Kramnik would find new and new ridiculous arguments. A year ago, I signed the petition along with many other players to stop these relentless attacks on Danya. What has been done since by FIDE? Absolutely nothing. This is absolutely shameful and FIDE has blood on its hands. If even 6 months ago this had stopped, let alone 1 year ago, I am sure things wouldn't have been the same. But Kramnik showed no concern for human life, and neither did Dvorkovitch. I hope he will think seriously about banning Kramnik and erasing his title which he is using for all the wrong reasons. I see this as a last chance for FIDE to show any backbone.
