“It’s inspirational” says Larry Wilmore, one of the movie’s stars who can only see the positives to showing an underserved part of the United States on film.

However, the game was not without any drama. It was lowly placed Eibar, who were placed in the driver’s seat via a brace from their Japanese midfielder Takashi Inui. While Barcelona had many chances they were largely wasteful with the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez spurning glorious opportunities. Eventually, the quality amidst their ranks ensured that Barcelona turned the tie in their favour via goals from Lionel Messi (2), Luis Suarez and an own goal from David Junca....

Over one million people have watched the viral video posted by @carrilyne on TikTok. The four-month-old black Labrador called Kimi can be seen barking and growling when Carrilyne attempts to kiss her. Newsweek spoke to a dog behaviorist, who described the video, which has more than 155,000 likes, as “very sad”. “The puppy is showing clear signals they’re not comfortable. It’s such a shame the owner isn’t reading the puppies’ cues and pushing the interaction,” said Jacqui Zakar....

LAFC, which will be coached in its debut season by former U.S. national team head coach and Swansea manager Bob Bradley, was able to select players who were left unprotected by the existing 20 MLS teams.

Lahore Qalandars have been brilliant at home, winning three out of their four games at the Gaddafi Stadium. While their batting unit has blown hot and cold at times, their strength lies in their bowling attack that features Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Although Rashid Khan isn’t available for the rest of the PSL, Lahore will fancy their chances of beating Peshawar Zalmi, who are on a three-match winning run....

A forecast from the Bureau of Reclamation released on August 31 show the two and five year projections at the lake. In the worst-case-scenario, the water level is expected to fall to just above 990 feet in July 2024. Lake Mead is the biggest man-made reservoir in North America, and its water levels are rapidly evaporating. The lake, which lies across Nevada and Arizona, is drying up due to the ongoing megadrought in the western United States....

Lake Powell has fallen victim to excessive water use as a 20-year drought parches the region. Shortages have been implemented by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in areas like Arizona as water levels in the reservoir have consistently dropped for the past 10 years. Lake Powell is so low that it is nearing a dead pool, in which water levels aren’t high enough to deliver water downstream. Some Arizona cities have implemented drought management plans to conserve water, but the area continues to use water at a rate that negates Lake Powell’s recovery....

A small but extremely vocal group of fans gathered outside the arena on Friday, voicing their displeasure with the Lakers’ executives. Rather than holding torches and pitchforks, the fans hoisted signs that made their demands clear, calling for the ouster of team owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka. The Lakers suffered through an underachieving season after the acquisition of free agent LeBron James had some fans talking championship....

The Lakers are keeping a spot open in case Andre Iguodala is bought out by the Grizzlies, according to a report from ESPN. The report states they feel the 6-7 wing could be a valuable contributor to the team in 2019-20. Memphis acquired Iguodala from the Warriors in a trade earlier this month and aren’t willing to give him up for cheap, so a buyout may be an unlikely scenario....

Wilkes played with Bill Walton in college, then won championships with the Rick Barry Warriors and, more famously, the “Showtime” Lakers. And almost 30 years after wrapping up his career, he takes a look at the NBA franchise that defined him and sees Kobe Bryant in a familiar position: getting old. But these Lakers don’t have Worthy waiting in the wings.

On Wednesday, the Lakers fell to 26-30 with a road loss to the Trail Blazers, who are in the process of gutting their roster ahead of the trade deadline. In response to arguably the most confounding loss of the Lakers’ season to date, franchise legend Magic Johnson took to Twitter to share his bewilderment. “After the @Lakers loss to Portland tonight, I’m speechless,” the five-time champion penned. “No words can describe how I’m feeling....

Hill once looked like the team’s best trade bait, but over time it became less likely the team would actually part ways with him. That didn’t stop the Lakers forward from falling prey to a prank by his teammates and coaches, making him believe the call was in and he was about to be traded. The coaches told him general manager Mitch Kupchak wanted to see him. Around this time of year, no player wants to see Kupchak....

Last year, the trials were a phenomenal success and a group of students were selected to receive training from the best Spanish football coaches and get exposed to other young footballers in Spain. Cadiz Club de Futbol is a professional football club based in Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1910, it plays in Segunda División, LaLiga SmartBank and holds home games at the historic, Estadio Ramon de Carranza....

To put the size of that win in perspective, Real Madrid hadn’t taken a single point from their previous four visits to Sevilla but have put their Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan nightmare behind them with this win. Going into this game, Sevilla had conceded only three shots on target in four games, and only one goal in the league. Real Madrid managed four shots on target in this game alone and Karim Benzema managed to convert one of them which was enough to clinch the points....

The quarterback and the Ravens might be heading for a split this offseason, if their prior contract impasse was any indication. Now, Jackson has made some more noise by way of Instagram. On the Monday after the Jackson-less Ravens fell to the Bengals 24-17 in the AFC wild-card round, the quarterback posted a cryptic and vague message to his Instagram story, again jumpstarting rumors of a split: Jackson’s Instagram message reads:...

There are still five weeks left in the 2019 NFL regular season after Jackson’s now 9-2 Ravens ripped the Rams 45-6 in Week 12 and there are several other quarterbacks, led by Russell Wilson, having banner years to lift their teams. There’s also one special running back — Christian McCaffrey — piling up legendary modern numbers. But no matter how great the rest of the pack looks, Jackson is quite literally running away with — and also passing himself to —the league’s highest individual award, succeeding Patrick Mahomes in 2019....

NFTs have taken off as of late as a new way to share unique art and other digital files. Last month Acura did the same thing, selling NFTs with reservations for the new Integra. The visuals will be produced by Toronto-based artist Krista Kim, while music producer, fashion designer and entrepreneur Steve Aoki will write the audio track. The car and NFT will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s on April 19....
