The president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mocked the YouTuber after he went eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing match on Sunday, which has been widely deemed a disappointment due to no real winner being declared. “If you’ve got people that are stupid enough to spend that kind of money, then they deserve to take those dummies’ money,” White said to Farah Hannoun on UFC Arabia on June 7....
In “Last Dance in Havana: The Final Days of Fidel and the Start of the New Cuban Revolution” (272 pages. Free Press), The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson poses similar questions.

Understanding the rhythms and tensions of Cuban dance is critical to understanding the country....
The Brazil international could soon be on his way to the Premier League, with Manchester City closing in on a deal to lure him away from Juventus. He could, however, have arrived much earlier had Liverpool backed their judgement and pushed through an agreement with Sevilla. In the end, they decided to spend their money elsewhere, with it difficult for then manager Gerard Houllier to justify spending £23 million a full-back....
With 80 laps remaining in the race, Patrick passed Kahne’s lap-down car, but then he made contact with her car between Turns 1 and 2, sending Patrick crashing hard into the wall. With smoke in her cockpit, she climbed from her car when it came to a stop in the infield. Patrick then walked up onto the track’s apron, waiting for Kahne to pass again before raising her arms to gesture toward his car....
The wreck occurred after Patrick had completed about 35 laps about 30 minutes into the 90-minute practice session on the 0.526-mile track. The damage to the rear of her car was too much for the team to repair. The Stewart-Haas Racing team scrambled to get the backup car set up for Patrick to practice before qualifying Friday afternoon for the Goody’s Headache Fast Relief 500.

The drive, which Baseball Savant measured at 104.3 mph, bounced off Castano’s hat and was caught by third baseman Joey Wendle on the fly for an out. Castano stayed on his knees at the mound for some time before he was able to walk to the dugout under his own power. As Castano was being tended to by the training staff, Solano waited along the first-base line before approaching him....

This was not a story they were planning on reporting from afar, however. So at 5 a.m. Wednesday, Rome time, they chartered a plane to Frankfurt, Germany, because they thought they could catch a commercial flight to Montreal from there. They were wrong. So they returned to Rome then hired another private jet to get them to Milan, where they caught a plane to Reykjavik, Iceland, with connection on to New York....
The women said that by stumping for their dads, they helped make the issues relevant to those dormant female voters. “We’re saying this matters. We provide accessibility,” said Vanessa, who learned to participate at home. “We’re a kooky family. The dining-room table is a lively event,” she said. Alexandra said she challenges her more moderate dad on the issues–and that he’s the better for it. “He’s lucky to have had two daughters....

The Beckhams now have four children and hopes of seeing a successor to David in the England team were heightened when the three boys - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - were signed up by Arsenal’s academy.

Clarkson will miss a pair for checking St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Sobotka in the head on Thursday night. The ruling came on Saturday afternoon, as a larger portion of the hockey world waited on the Shawn Thornton decision. This is an appetizer ... or whatever. One factor in the decision: Clarkson's relatively new status as a repeat offender. He was automatically suspended for 10 games at the start of the season for leaving the bench during a fight — granted, it was to help Phil Kessel deal with John Scott, but it was pointless all the same, and now he's paying for it again....
A Duke victory could transform a continuing embarrassment into a crisis for the GOP. For all the pain Duke has caused the party-winning a legislative seat in 1988 and running a strong second in a U.S. Senate race last year–GOP strategists insist that he’s not the Republican reincarnation of George Wallace, the fiery voice for white racism in four presidential campaigns. Duke’s KKK credentials, old news in Louisiana, could still be a fresh enough revelation to sink him in primary campaigns elsewhere....

The black-tie crowd at the awards ceremony was more divided. When jury president Bernardo Bertolucci announced Lynch as the Palme d’Or winner, the boos almost drowned out the cheers (critic Roger Ebert, pink with outrage, was leading the jeering section). The happy director (whose TV show was just renewed by ABC) seemed to relish yet another controversy. “The whole world’s wild at heart and weird on top,” complains Lynch’s heroine Lula (Dern), a Southern sexpot fleeing across a Gothic American landscape with her ex-con lover Sailor (Cage), while killers hired by her mother (Diane Ladd, Dern’s real-life mother) track them down....
