I watched footage of the race crime that split America. What I saw shocked me - and his how it could flip the case
It was just after 10 a.m. on April 2, during what should have been a typical high school track meet at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
Students were warming up and stretching, patiently waiting for the competition to resume after a paused due to heavy rain.

Awkward moment fan's drink explodes over Livvy Dunne after he dropped it while giving her a hug
Former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne made a splash at Fanatics Fest on Friday. The 22-year-old was doused in Sprite as she arrived at the event's second instalment, which brings a host of celebrities and sports fans to New York City. Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Stephen A. Smith, Jaxson Dart and Peyton Manning were also among the star-studded attendees on Friday. But none had a more unfortunate start to their day than Dunne, who was filmed hugging a man after arriving in New York. He was holding a can of Sprite and, unfortunately for the former gymnast, the man let go of the drink while embracing Dunne. After the can hit the floor, it sent the soft drink spraying in all directions - including over Dunne. Dunne shocked social media when she appeared to make a sexual reference earlier on Friday Thankfully, however, Dunne - who was wearing blue jeans and a white sleeveless top - saw the funny side. She even apologized for her role in the chaos. It wasn't the first time on Friday that Dunne had gone viral. Earlier, the ex-gymnast sent social media into a spin after appearing to make a steamy sexual reference about herself and actress Madelyn Cline. It came after a user on X described the upcoming College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina as the 'Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl', given the pair's previous education at the rival schools. The fairly innocent comment was then taken deep into left-field by Dunne, who surprisingly replied: 'Gooner World Series'. Fans were immediately left stunned by the apparent sexual reference posted by the gymnastics icon, with one writing: 'This can't be real.' Another added, 'had to check three times that this wasn't a parody account,' while a third noted: 'She get hacked???'

'Crawford is not Canelo' - champions face off in Saudi
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez told Terence Crawford he is a "great fighter but he's not Canelo" as the pair kicked off their media tour in Saudi pound-for-pound greats will fight on 13 September in Las Vegas for Alvarez's undisputed super-middleweight world is a bout being billed as the "fight of the century" but Alvarez dismissed the notion it could be a close contest with American Crawford stepping up from light-middleweight."He's a great fighter but he's not Canelo. I have the experience," Alvarez said at a news conference."They only focus on my power but I have more than that. This fight is going to be one of my best fights on my record."Alvarez, 34, may be the younger man by three years but having made his professional debut aged 15 and with 11 world titles, 27 world-title fights and 67 bouts in total under his belt, the Mexican has been cast as the man to pass the torch to Crawford."He's not going to beat me, don't worry about it," Alvarez answered at one stage, which drew a laugh and a smile from Crawford, who replied: "For sure them belts are coming home with me."Twenty-six bouts separate the rivals, but Crawford too has a record most fighters could only dream of with 19 consecutive world-title bout and a two-weight undisputed promised he would become the first male three-weight undisputed champion, in a classy nod to his American counterpart Claressa Shields, who has already achieved the feat in the women's was equally confident, describing himself as a "winner" and telling Crawford: "You don't look different.""I'm different. You going to see," Crawford said in reply. Netflix, UFC and the Las Vegas Raiders The fight will be staged at NFL side Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium in Vegas, which holds 65,000 will also be the first event that UFC president Dana White's new boxing outfit will promote, a partnership with Saudi's Turki Alalshikh that almost collapsed before being revived in recent himself was given a seat at the top table while White was not chairman of the General Entertainment Authority has been the hand of power and driver of incredible Saudi investment in boxing in the last 18 months, but has not often been sat among the fighters at public outlined his demands to two of the greatest fighters of their generation in the opening remarks, slamming "Tom and Jerry" fights and insisting they must deliver him "smashing face".The beginning of a three-city press tour that includes Las Vegas and New York, gathered media only asked Alalshikh questions before he left the stage. It took almost 25 minutes before either fighter Arabia has invested huge sums of money into sport in an effort, the Kingdom say, to diversify their income revenues as a nation, but continue to face accusations of using sport as a vehicle for sportwashing and with Alalshikh set to embark on a new venture of super-fights broadcast on Netflix and creating a new promotional entity to do so, the Saudi investment into boxing shows little sign of slowing to the boxing and the news conference ended with the traditional music blared during it, with Alvarez being the first to look away in a emotionless who is being publicly backed by Alalshikh, said this is the fight he always wanted."I called Canelo out, he is the last great fighter amongst the era that surpassed us.

This is my moment."

US cities prepare for extreme temperatures as heat dome blankets country
June 20 (Reuters) - Major cities across the United States are preparing for extreme temperatures caused by a heat dome that hit the U.S. Plains on Friday and is expected to expand to much of the rest of the country over the coming days. Potentially dangerous temperatures of 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) or over are expected this weekend in parts of the Midwest, including Chicago, before spreading to the Ohio Valley and much of the East Coast towards the start of next week, according to the National Weather Service. A heat dome is a ridge of high-pressure air in the upper atmosphere that stalls and traps hot air while keeping cooler air away even at night. In preparation, Chicago is opening cooling centers across the city, Mayor Brandon Johnson told a news conference on Friday. City workers are also checking on people who are homeless living in camps, urging them to go to a cooling center. "Chicago knows better than any other city in America of the danger of extreme weather, particularly extreme heat," said Johnson, referring to the upcoming 30-year anniversary of a heat wave that killed 700 Chicagoans. New York City Mayor Eric Adams urged residents to locate their nearest cooling center. Adams said the city would open up an extensive network of cooling centers and was working to distribute heat safety information to vulnerable residents. Heat affects health in several ways. Heat exhaustion, which can include dizziness, headaches, shaking and thirst, can affect anyone, and is not usually serious, providing the person cools down within 30 minutes. The more serious version is heatstroke, when the body's core temperature goes above 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.6 degrees Celsius). It is a medical emergency and can lead to long-term organ damage and death. Symptoms include rapid breathing, confusion or seizures, and nausea. Heat advisories were already in effect across cities in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas on Friday, with temperatures in Denver, Colorado, expected to rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit by 3 p.m. Some of the highest temperatures on Friday are expected in towns close to the Nebraska-Kansas border, with those in Kansas's St. Francis and Oberlin, and McCook, Nebraska, likely to rise to 105 degrees and over before the end of the day, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters say it is difficult to link record-breaking heat experienced across the United States in recent years to human-induced climate change, but such extremes are becoming more frequent because of global warming.
