🎥 Lifelong loyalty? This Chelsea fan couldn't care less
Staying forever loyal to the once chosen favorite team is considered a matter of honor for many fans. In the USA, the clocks seem to tick a little differently. A Chelsea supporter wanted to have nothing more to do with the Blues before their game against Flamengo at the Club World Cup. But it's also an irresistible persuasion work that the media team from Flamengo is doing. Advertisement "I don't know.." "Come on, you know which is the bigger team!" "Yeah okay" And just like that, the jersey is switched. The USA, the land of unlimited possibilities. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Kevin Durant squashed DeMarcus Cousins' wild Suns locker room rumor
The Phoenix Suns might not have been the worst team in the NBA, but it's hard to argue that there was a team in the league that had a worse year. The Suns came into the season with championship expectations. Now, we're out here looking for new homes for Kevin Durant and speculating about how the Suns are going to kickstart their rebuild. Life comes at you fast in this league. Super fast. Advertisement WHAT HE WANTS: Durant reportedly "specifically" wants to go to one destination As terrible as this year was, though, you never quite heard about locker room chaos. At least not in the same way you might think of when you think about underachieving teams. But DeMarcus Cousins (of all people!) says that the chaos existed — you just didn't hear about it. Cousins told Run It Back that the Suns had some "fist fights" in the locker room. This is a bit strange — especially considering the source. Cousins wasn't in the Suns' locker room this year, obviously. He's just "reporting" what he heard, which isn't exactly credible. Cousins had a solid NBA career, but he's no reporter. Advertisement Kevin Durant called cap here, unsurprisingly. Durant seems pretty believable here. I know we don't hear everything that comes out of the locker room, but it's hard to believe that we wouldn't hear about fights that broke out in the Suns locker room. And when you consider the source here? Yeah, it becomes even more questionable. Fun story. But that's probably all this is.
