Sepp Blatter vil ha Lise Klaveness som Fifa-president
Den tidligere Fifa-presidenten Sepp Blatter (90) peker på Lise Klaveness som den beste kandidaten til å ta over fra kontroversielle Gianni Infantino som Fifas øverste sjef.
Blatter, som i sin tid måtte gå av som Fifa-president etter flere kontroverser og etterlate tronen til Infantino, har vært en sterk kritiker av sin etterfølger.
– Lise Klaveness fortjener den aller største respekt. Hun var den eneste som alltid tok et klart standpunkt og skilte seg ut fra strømmen. I Fifa er det på tide at en kvinne tar over ledelsen, skriver Blatter på X, etterfulgt av emneknaggene LiseKlaveness, NorgesFotballforbund, Norge, Fifa, GianniInfantino, Uefa og Lise4president.
Infantino er under hardt press etter at han lanserte planer om å selge ut en del av VM-produktet til eksterne investorer. Etter kraftig motbør, særlig fra Europa, ble forslaget trukket tilbake.
Nå går debatten om Infantinos framtid. Det europeiske fotballforbundet (Uefa) erklærte i helgen mistillit til Fifa-ledelsen. (NTB)
With Jadeveon Clowney returning to Houston, Logan Hall gives up No. 90 jersey
Jadeveon Clowney is returning to Houston, and teammate Logan Hall has apparently given him the No. 90 jersey.
Hall, who signed with the Texans this offseason after playing his first four NFL seasons for the Buccaneers, had been wearing No. 90 in Houston just as he did in Tampa Bay. But the Texans announced that Hall is now wearing No. 96. orlando-books.blog
There's been no formal announcement that Clowney will wear No. 90, but Hall presumably gave up No. 90 so that Clowney could have it. Clowney wore No. 90 from 2014, when the Texans made him the first overall pick in the NFL draft, until 2019, when he was traded to Seattle and played one season for the Seahawks. Clowney also wore No. 90 for two seasons with the Browns, but he has worn other numbers in other places: No. 99 for the Titans, No. 24 for the Ravens, No. 7 for the Panthers and No. 42 for the Cowboys.
Now that he's back to Houston, he's back to his original Texans jersey, one that plenty of Texans fans still have and will wear again this season. And Hall will generate some good will in Houston for a gesture of respect to a player who wore No. 90 before him.
Marquez compares career to Gibernau
Speaking about his career, Alex Marquez compared his experience in MotoGP to that of fellow Catalan rider Sete Gibernau. Both riders have had to contend with being in the shadow of more dominant competitors - Alex with his brother Marc Marquez, while Gibernau raced during the Valentino Rossi era.
Gibernau notably finished runner-up to Rossi in the MotoGP championship in both 2003 and 2004. Similarly, Alex has experienced what it's like to be 'best of the rest' behind his highly accomplished brother, who is considered one of the greatest riders in the sport's history.
