FIFA start investigation into Pachuca player amid Antonio Rudiger racism allegations
Real Madrid saw their Club World Cup victory over Pachuca overshadowed by allegations of racism made by Antonio Rudiger, and FIFA have now taken the next step in their efforts to discover the truth of the situation. UEFA looking into Gustavo Cabral as part of investigation During the match in Charlotte, Rudiger claimed that Gustavo Cabral had called him a 'black s***'. These allegations were denied by the Pachuca player, but the FIFA protocol on these matters was activated. An investigation was started, and now it has been reported by COPE (via Sport), that Cabral is being looked into by world football's governing body. Image via Paul Ellis/AFP Advertisement FIFA are determined to get to the bottom of things, which is why their investigation has progressed in the last 24 hours. It has not been ruled out that witnesses, such as those involved in the match for either side, will be called to testify. But for now, no definitive decision has been made. Real Madrid are standing behind Rudiger in this matter, whom they believe wholeheartedly. And it's not the first time that they have had to do so with one of their players, with superstar winger Vinicius Junior having been subjected to racist abuse on several occasions over the last few years. It is not clear when a resolution will come, with FIFA determined to ensure that everything is looked into before they make their decision. It is unlikely that it will happen in the coming days, and there is no reason for anything to be rushed given that Pachuca have already been knocked out of the Club World Cup, so any punishment that comes the way of Cabral would not have an effect on the ongoing tournament. For now, the investigation that FIFA are undertaking is ongoing, and will remain that way until a definitive outcome is reached.

Commanders Trade Rumor Suggests Terry McLaurin for First-Round Pick in 'Redefining' Move
Commanders Trade Rumor Suggests Terry McLaurin for First-Round Pick in 'Redefining' Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If the Washington Commanders see little true light at the end of the 2025 tunnel? Yup. They should trade Terry McLaurin. He turns 30 in September. He wants too much money. And maybe he's closer to "very good'' than "great.'' Advertisement But given the fact that they have rapidly built around quarterback Jayden Daniels With GM Adam Peters opting to spend big in deals to bring in tackle Laremy Tunsil and receiver Deebo Samuel? And given the fact the before they got here this team was a win away from the Super Bowl in 2024? Why would anybody see anything but big, beautiful bright lines up ahead? As receiver McLaurin's contract negotiations continue to stall, some have grown worried about his potential departure. Speculation has run rampant among national websites, all of them wanting to push McLaurin out of Washington in exchange for ... whatever. Advertisement Send McLaurin to the Los Angeles Chargers, to the Pittsburgh Steelers, to the New England Patriots ... hey, pick one of the other 31 teams and you can find a story that "links'' McLaurin to that team. A new "rumor''? Maybe Washington can get a first-round pick back for McLaurin. The truth? A trade of this player - barring a holdout that becomes so nasty that both sickened sides want a divorce - would redefine the Commanders' offseason. ... and not in a good way. Whether a first-round pick is fair trade compensation isn't even the central argument here. The crux of it all is about how much five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons is worth ... with the assumption that more are coming. Advertisement McLaurin has earned the right to be paid like a top receiver; that language means around $30 million per year. We've seen another "report'' that suggests McLaurin is demanding $37 million per year. We don't believe that number, and we cannot justify that number. But if the Commanders want to compete for a Super Bowl now? They find the right figure. And as that is indeed what the Commanders want? Most of the "31 Flavors'' trade predictions are hot air.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin $37 Million Contract Demand Called 'Outrageous' By Insider
Commanders' Terry McLaurin $37 Million Contract Demand Called 'Outrageous' By Insider originally appeared on Athlon Sports. To put a positive spin on things? The Washington Commanders offseason has been remarkably positive and simply needs one more button-push to be a complete win. Advertisement The negative spin? That button-push is about Terry McLaurin ... and there is now. rumor about what the Commanders' No. 1 receiver and contract holdout wants that if true represents a holdout-related monkey wrench. McLaurin has one year left on a three-year extension signed back in 2022 worth over $68 million. His last deal got him the salary as he was becoming of an impact pass catcher in the NFL; now he wants to cash in big on a contract similar to that of the top players at his position. But ... What does "similar'' mean? NFL insider Mike Fisher has suggested to us that this could end up being a three-year extension worth near $100 million. ... with the guaranteed money for the 30-year-old being a remaining issue. Advertisement But the latest from Commanders insider Lake Lewis has that number juiced up to a total of as much as $37 million per year as Lewis mentioned on VTRN Sports Lynchburg Podcast. And this is where we tap the brakes. That number would mean McLaurin would be earning more than DK Metcalf and CeeDee Lamb, who are next up in average annual salary. It would vault him behind only Ja'Marr Chase, who currently sits at $40 million, the most for any non-quarterback in league history. It would mean that McLaurin - who has earned a payday of some sort as his last five seasons have all ended with 1,000 or more yards, most with recently a 1,096-yard and 13-touchdown campaign - is the No. 2 value receiver in all of the NFL. Advertisement And that's an impossible argument for "Scary Terry'' to win. Again, back to Mike Fisher ... "The word here is 'outrageous,'' Fish says. "Because either the report is 'outrageous' or the demand is 'outrageous.' The Commanders like McLaurin and he remains central to their plans of contention through the coming years with Jayden Daniels. But the age is the major roadblock here. The higher the price he demands, the more that number sticks out. A $37 million APY figure is too great a number for the Commanders to settle on. The media needs to know that ... and maybe Terry does, too.
