James rescues point for León in top-two clash with América
It was honors even in a top-two clash in Liga MX Wednesday evening as León drew with Club América.Scorers: Zendejas 11 ; James 33'
It was a much-anticipated clash at the top of the Liga MX table, and it certainly delivered in the opening 45 minutes.
After in-form American Alejandro Zendejas opened the scoring for chasers América, León pulled one back past the 30-minute mark through Colombian legend James Rodríguez.
After the break the threat of goals waned, as did the pace of the game. The shared points sees León keep ahold of their three-point lead at the top of the Clausura table.

Is High-Speed Sailing the New Formula 1?
Nearly 10,000 fans gathered this past weekend to watch some of the world's top sailors race past the Statue of Liberty, with the iconic New York City skyline as their backdrop. SailGP, a fast-growing sailing league in its fifth season, held the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix in New York Harbor for crowds seated in stands along the water's edge. The investors and organizers behind SailGP believe that high-speed boats and exciting athletes can bring young fans to a sport that many consider stuffy and inaccessible. The race was the third in the US Rolex SailGP Championship, following events in Los Angeles and San Francisco; in total, the season will include 14 events on five continents, with hopes to expand in coming years. Attendees saw a brutal race through the rain on Saturday, followed by a final round on Sunday. The Spanish team took the top prize, with New Zealand and France ranking in second and third, respectively. Saturday's weather made it 'a super, super tricky day,' said Anna Weis, an American sailor. 'These are the kind of days [where] as sailors you're coming back and just scratching your head and thinking, Wow, this is really hard.' The league hopes that the international audience that has fueled the explosive growth of Formula 1 will find similar thrills on the water, according to Leah Davis, SailGP's chief marketing officer. According to SailGP's chief marketing officer Leah Davis, the league hopes to capture the excitement of the international audience that has driven Formula 1's explosive growth—and deliver that same level of thrill on the water. 'How do we take sailing to a modern, younger, global audience in a format that makes sense to today's sporting landscape?' she asks. 'We've spent so many years really perfecting the product on the water, but now it's all about how do we scale the experience and the fun? We call it après-sail, which is our take on that guest experience.' Last week, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds became co-owners of the Australian team, while other investors include Anne Hathaway and Issa Rae. DJ Khaled holds a unique role with SailGP as its official Chief Hype Officer. 'Sailing as a sport has always been quite hard to bring to people visibly, to bring close to the spectators,' says Nicole van der Velden, a member of the victorious Spanish team. 'The platform that SailGP has made makes it really attractive for people to watch, [including] people that have never been into sailing. It's really cool to see that it's reaching a bigger public.' Adds Davis: 'Once people see it, it's pretty easy to fall in love within the first few minutes. You can see it's short, sharp flying boats. That's definitely new. We want to be a bit fun…our brand is [about] getting people engaged with a bit of a twinkle in our eye.'

LeBron on his pride representing the USA in the Olympics after winning a bronze medal
LeBron on his pride representing the USA in the Olympics after winning a bronze medal In 2004, Team USA men's basketball came away from the Summer Olympics with only a bronze medal after losing to Argentina in the semifinal round. It was an embarrassment for the program, which seemed assured of winning the gold every time ever since NBA players were first allowed to participate in FIBA competition. LeBron James played on the 2004 Olympic team, and its disappointing performance has caused some to mock him — some have even nicknamed him "LeBronze" as a result. Team USA would soon revamp its program by bringing in legendary Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant. There were reportedly concerns about James' lack of maturity at the time, to the point where some feared he would single-handedly cause the team to not win the gold medal in the 2008 Olympics. But he said during a recent episode of his "Mind the Game" podcast that the squad's failure led to its players taking responsibility and having a sense of pride about representing the United States. "Everything is city-based here," James said. "And it took a while for us, as far as the Olympics, to get that sense of pride back. We got our [expletive] kicked in 2004, and then we lost in the World Championship in 2006. It took us time to be like, 'Oh, this is real.' "The rest of these countries not only are getting better with the game of basketball, but it's a sense of pride, too," James continued. "And when you have that sense of pride, you have a sense of work ethic that goes a lot longer. You have a sense of accountability that's a little bit longer. You have a sense of wanting to be there because you know what you're representing." With Bryant leading the way, Team USA regained the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Games, and it was a jubilant moment for the program and all of its players. In 2012, Bryant manfully took a back seat and let James become the head honcho. The result was another gold medal. Last summer, of course, after Team USA failed to medal in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant volunteered to play for Team USA in the Olympics once again. The squad won another gold medal, and James was named the MVP of the tournament for his all-around performance.

An Ode to Natalie Portman's Rich Mom French Open Look
Do you ever look at someone and just think, Wow, they look rich? That was my immediate first though when I spotted Natalie Portman looking like the epitome of sophistication at the French Open this past weekend. The actor was among the many notable attendees who attended the tennis tournament finals at the Roland-Garros Complex in Paris. Others included Cooper Koch, Lily Collins and husband Charlie McDowell, and Pharrell Williams with wife Helen Lasichanh were among the attendees. But Portman took the cake with her posh look. Up top, she embraced tennis whites in a crisp white button-up with a sharp collar that she turned upwards for an extra ounce of preppiness. The Black Swan star tucked her shirt into a pretty bubblegum-pink poplin skirt with a built-in belt. The chic ensemble was only made better by Portman's accessories: square brown tortoiseshell sunglasses, and a straw hat from Christian Dior, adorned with a blue-and-white sash emblazoned with the fashion house's name. The men's singles final match took place on Sunday, June 8, on day 15 of the French Open. Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz bested Italian Jannik Sinner, marking his second straight French Open win. Meanwhile, a day prior, American Coco Gauff won the women's singles finals, where she played against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, from Belarus. With the win, Gauff claimed her second career grand slam singles title and became the first American to take home the French Open prize since Serena Williams did so in 2015.
