Why do Japan fans clean up after games? It’s about “respect for everything” Incredible 🇯🇵

Should be a standard for all supporter groups. The Japanese & military academies do this, such class & respect. 🫡

There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set. Want a 7th year? Sure Broke rules? Ahhhh, it’s fine. There AREN’T any rules.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room. She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill. Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final. Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat. Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped. She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won. By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million. One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

“It’s an apples to oranges situation here.” Former Premier League and Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Shaka Hislop disagrees with FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Infantino recently defended the World Cup ticket prices by saying they have to apply the market rates in the U.S. “On one hand, I want to say, I get the phrasing we have to apply market rates but what market are we talking about here?” Hislop said on ESPNFC. “You can't compare a soccer game to what people are willing to pay to go and see an NFL game. “The NFL fans are going to watch NFL games, and if they pay $300 for a ticket, fine. That doesn't mean those NFL fans are going to pay $300 to come and watch a soccer game. “New England Revolution can’t charge $300 for a game at Foxborough because that’s not the market. “So when you're talking market rate, while it sounds good, you are comparing apples to oranges here and trying to sell this as something that really is not. “So again, there is just so much exception I take to that is going on around this World Cup and Infantino selling of it, which I simply don't understand, and don't buy into. Hislop also responded to U.S. President Donald Trump saying he wouldn’t pay to watch the USMNT games because of the prices. “It’s a position I understand. I wouldn't either if Trinidad & Tobago were there,” he said. “Again, it's an apples to oranges situation here. If you're catering to an ultra wealthy, if you are catering to NFL fans, and there's an expectation that NFL fans who have nothing to do this summer will come to soccer games, then so be it. “But if you are catering to soccer fans here in the U.S., if you are catering to soccer fans internationally, $300 as the baseline for your ticket is absolutely preposterous. “Well again, for argument's sake, as in Haiti's case, this is your first World Cup since 1974. This is Scotland's first World Cup since the 90s, you make an effort to go and see your country, but that hurts a regular person. “And that is profiteering of someone's loyalty to their national team. I can't see that as anything else. It is not about fans. It is profiteering off of loyalty.” Does Hislop have a point?
