🎥 Gignac returns as Tigres see off Juárez

Yahoo20-07-2025
Tigres earned their first three points in the Apertura 2025 by defeating Juárez by the minimum difference. The match was highlighted by the return of André Pierre-Gignac, the debut of Ángel Correa, and the sending off of Ricardinho.
Although the felines dominated the match, the goal didn't come until the 67th minute, when Ozziel Herrera, after a team play, broke through the goal guarded by Sebastián Jurado.
Although Bravos took too many precautions in the match, they were limited in attack after Ricardinho received a red card for an accidental play on Rômulo Zwarg.
In addition to the victory, the university squad also celebrated Gignac's return to the pitch, who had been out due to injury since the Clausura 2025.
With one game less, Tigres sits in seventh place and will return to action next Saturday to face the Liga MX champion.

Trump's demand for Washington NFL team name change ignores years of psychological data, experts say

This week, President Donald Trump threatened to hold up a new stadium deal if Washington's NFL team did not restore its name to a racial slur, despite decades of psychological research showing the negative mental health impacts of Native American mascots. The president is demanding a private company change its name to something that researchers have linked to a variety of negative mental health outcomes, particularly for children, said Mark Macarro, president of the National Congress of American Indians. The organization has been pushing back on stereotypes of Native Americans since the 1950s, including Native sports mascots. 'This is a big reminder with this administration that we're going to take some backward steps,' Macarro said. 'We have our studies, we have our receipts, and we can demonstrate that this causes real harm.' More than two decades of research on Native mascots have shown they lead to heightened rates of depression, self-harm, substance abuse and suicidal ideation among Indigenous peoples, and those impacts are the greatest on children. Citing this data, the American Psychological Association has been recommending the retirement of Native mascots since 2001. The president believes that franchises who changed their names to 'pander to the Woke Left' should immediately restore their original names,' White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement to The Associated Press. 'Thanks to President Trump, the days of political correctness and cancel culture are over,' he said. Some teams change names while others resist Under pressure from decades of activism, the Washington Redskins — a racial slur and arguably the most egregious example — retired the name in 2020, eventually settling on the Commanders. Later that year, the Cleveland Indians changed its name to the Guardians. Two major league teams, the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs and the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, continue to resist calls to change their names. The Chiefs have banned fans from wearing headdresses or face paint meant to depict Native Americans at games but has resisted prohibiting the use of the 'tomahawk chop', which critics have long called derogatory. More than 1,500 grade schools across the country — a decrease over the past few years — still use Native mascots, according to the National Congress of American Indians, using names like 'Savages' as well as the slur that Trump aims to bring back to the Washington team. Experts say Native mascots reinforce racial bias Native American people, activists, and leaders have been asking for the retirement of Native mascots for generations. Popular arguments defending the mascots have been that they 'honor' Native people or that it simply boiled down to people being 'offended,' said Steph Cross, a professor of psychology and researcher at the University of Oklahoma and a citizen of the Comanche Nation. But now we have decades of data that agrees on the negative mental health impacts, she said. 'Being offended is not even really the problem. That's a symptom,' Cross said. She noted that Native mascots aren't just harmful to Indigenous peoples, they also reinforce racial prejudices among non-Natives, including people who will work directly with Native people like health care professionals and teachers. 'I think about these people who are going to be working with Native children, whether they realize that or not, and how they may unintentionally have these biases,' Cross said. Stephanie Fryberg, a professor at Northwestern University, who is a member of the Tulalip Tribes and one of the country's leading researchers on Native mascots, said, 'The ultimate impact, whether conscious or unconscious, is bias in American society.' Her work has also shown Native mascots increase the risk of real psychological harm, especially for young Native people. 'Honoring Native peoples means ending dehumanization in both imagery and policy,' she said. 'Indian Country needs meaningful investment, respect, and the restoration of federal commitments, not more distractions or excuses for inaction.' Several states pass Native mascot bans In recent years, several states — including Maine, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and New York — have passed laws or issued directives that ban or require districts to change Native mascots. A law prohibiting them in Illinois stalled this year in the state Senate. The Trump administration has interjected into other efforts to change Native mascots. This month, the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into a Long Island public school district working to retire its Native American-themed mascot. 'The Department of Education has been clear with the state of New York: it is neither legal nor right to prohibit Native American mascots and logos while celebrating European and other cultural imagery in schools,' said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. When it comes to grade schools specifically, the negative impacts on children's mental health is compounded by the fact that U.S. history standards largely ignore Indigenous history and rarely frame Native Americans as modern people, said Sarah Shear, a professor and researcher at the University of Washington. In 2015, she was part of a study that found 87% of schools in the U.S. teach about Native Americans in only a pre-1900 context. That hasn't improved much in the decade since the study, Shear said. Most curriculum also doesn't present the arguments against harmful stereotypes, like Native Mascots. 'Just on the standards documents alone,' Shear said, 'I'm not surprised that Trump and other folks continue to advocate that these mascots are celebratory when they're not.'

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin reports to camp despite ongoing contract dispute

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Wide receiver Terry McLaurin reported to Washington Commanders training camp on Sunday morning following a four-day holdout, but the 2024 second-team All-Pro and the team have yet to agree on new contract terms. The Commanders removed McLaurin from the reserve/did not report list for camp and placed Washington's leading receiver on the active/physically unable to perform list due to an ankle injury from the previous season, according to head coach Dan Quinn. 'I'm really pumped that he is here,' Quinn said before Sunday's practice. The coach said he spoke directly with McLaurin on Saturday. 'He is such an awesome competitor. At his core, that's who he is.' McLaurin did not report on Tuesday along with his teammates and incurred a $50,000 daily fine for skipping the first four official days of camp. The seven-year veteran has one year remaining on a three-year, $68.2 million extension signed in 2022, but has been seeking a new deal. He set a career-high with 13 touchdown receptions and had 1,096 yards last season on 82 receptions. The PUP list designation forbids McLaurin from participating in on-field activities, but he can join teammates and coaches in meetings and now counts toward the 90-player roster limit. With fans in attendance for practice, McLaurin will work with the training staff on the side field during Sunday's practice, Quinn said. McLaurin participated in early portions of Washington's offseason program, but skipped the on-field portions of Organized Team Activities (OTA) and mandatory minicamp. Teammates have supported their absent teammate during camp. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and McLaurin fueled an offense that was central to Washington's surprising run to the NFC Championship game last season. 'Just business in the NFL,' said Daniels. 'We know Terry's working ... at the end of the day, he's still one of our brothers.' AP NFL:

How youth sports helped me see the world from my children's perspective

Sometimes sports are more than 'just sports.' It's just sports, right? That's what people say. And sometimes when I find myself getting too excited or despondent about my favorite teams' wins and losses, I tell myself the same thing. My interest in sports sometimes borders on fanatical. Perhaps it's fortunate that I grew up in central Florida, so there weren't many sports teams for me to become attached to. The ones I do care about, though, I really care about. I still haven't gotten over Nick Anderson's four consecutive missed free throws in Game 1 of the 1995 NBA Finals or UCF's missed game-winning tip-in against Duke in the second round of the Men's NCAA Basketball Championships in 2019. My passion for sports in adulthood grew out of my early love for playing sports. I was never the most aggressive or naturally athletic, but I was coordinated enough, knowledgeable, and interested in the nuances of the games, and reasonably competitive. Basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf were a big part of my early life. So, I was excited when my five- and seven-year-old sons started playing soccer for the first time. For both of them, it was their first experience with team sports. I was eager to see how they would take to it. No matter what you think of professional or collegiate sports, it's easy to assume youth sports must be inconsequential in the grand scheme. Youth sports — particularly at the very youngest ages — are loosely organized games that kids play for exercise, to make friends, and to learn about being part of a team, right? And anyone who's watched under seven soccer knows it barely resembles a sport at all. In my children's first games, the coaches routinely picked the ball up when it rolled out of bounds and tossed it back into play for the kids to chase. And once, one of their teammates dribbled the ball past the end line and continued to dribble it at least fifty yards before finally kicking it triumphantly into a goal several fields over. Her parents yelled for her to stop at first, but her dad eventually gave up and yelled, 'Go ahead. Get that goal!' These aren't isolated incidents either. Youth sports for young children can be chaotic, at best, and complete anarchy, at worst. I see this now, as an adult, but it felt so different when I was a child. I don't remember much about early elementary school. Or frankly, much else about my everyday life when I was between four and ten years old. But I have tons of memories that involve sports. I remember the anticipation of every baseball practice and game. I remember pulling on my knee-high baseball socks and uniform and making sure my glove was broken in just right and my hat's bill had just the right amount of curve. I remember eagerly waking up Saturday mornings, heading outside, and shooting warm-up baskets at the hoop in my driveway, dreaming about hitting a game-winner in my YMCA game later that morning. I remember simultaneously looking forward to every game and dreading it. I remember how my stomach used to flutter every time my turn at bat approached or when I had to step to the free throw line. I remember fighting back tears after every strikeout or botched ground ball or loss. Every little thing mattered to me. So much. I played soccer too when I was six years old, and though it wasn't my favorite sport, I remember caring about scoring goals. I have a strong memory of one game where I kicked the ball toward the goal, and it came to rest on the goal line. I didn't want to overdo it, so I left it there, thinking I had done enough to add a goal to my tally. By my recollection, the referee stepped in and ruled no goal because the ball didn't cross the line. That missed opportunity still haunts me. But looking back now, with my newfound, adult understanding of what six-year-old soccer looks like, how could I possibly have cared about that ball not crossing the goal line? In fact, it's entirely possible there wasn't a referee at all and one of the coaches just grabbed the ball and flung it back into play. They probably would have done the same if I had actually scored the goal. But still, it clearly meant something to my six-year-old self even if, by any objective standard, it shouldn't have mattered in the slightest. When my sons started talking about their first 'big game' that was coming up on the third Sunday of their soccer season, my first instinct, as a rational adult, was to discount their feelings. I thought I was being a good parent by helping alleviate their anxiety. I told them it was just for fun, and the games would be just like their disorganized practices. Factually, I was right. But emotionally, I was wrong. I should know as well as anyone that when you are five or seven or ten, youth sports games matter. So does going to school or playing a new video game or meeting a friend at the park. Every little thing matters. A lot. Because those 'little' things are what make up a child's entire life. As adults, it can be hard to remember that, and frankly, it's easy to get frustrated when children make a big deal out of apparent trivialities. However, I found that by tapping into the strongest memories I had as a child, I was better able to understand my children's feelings. Sometimes sports aren't just sports. They are a way to connect. For me, sports are a way to connect with who I used to be, so I can better understand who my children are right now. So I can understand their fears, worries, and anxieties. On the playing field, but also in the classroom, the school cafeteria, or the doctor's office. I don't necessarily remember what it was like to worry about monsters under the bed or impressing my teacher at school or making new friends, but I do remember what it was like to be a kid playing sports. I remember how big and important sports felt, and I can use those memories to help me better understand what my children are feeling. I hope this understanding will help me be more empathetic to my children's needs in every aspect of their lives. Because, when you are a child, not only is every game a 'big game,' but every day can feel like the biggest day of all. Solve the daily Crossword
