Important to note that fans did not let up in pressuring the team to do this. It did not happen in a vacuum. Still, credit where credit is due. This is the right ethical move, and also in alignment with their fanbase.

I like to think of it as a pillar of algae that’s taller than the World Trade Center.

Call it a People's 250th birthday bash. Americans are coming out of their long funk by cheering Muslim soccer stars in Kansas, forming a rainbow coalition to party for the Knicks, and remembering the soft-spoken dignity of the Obamas A Summer of Love? My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Lula was struggling in the polls, but then he took on the fight to shorten the Brazilian work week from 6 days to 5 days. Now, even Bolsonaro’s party is voting to shorten the workweek or risk losing voters! A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro
