Pope Leo XIV sends message of hope to Chicago and U.S. during White Sox broadcast
In his first words directed specifically to Americans, Pope Leo XIV told young people on Saturday how to find hope and meaning in their lives through God and in service to others. 'So many people who suffer from different experiences of depression or sadness — they can discover that the love of God is truly healing, that it brings hope,' the first American pope said in a video broadcast on the giant screen at Rate Field, the White Sox baseball stadium on Chicago's South Side. The event — set in Leo's hometown and at the home stadium of his favorite major league team — was organized by the Archdiocese of Chicago in honor of his recent election as pope. Leo seized the opportunity to speak directly to young people, tying his message to the Roman Catholic Church's ongoing Jubilee year of hope that was declared by Pope Francis. In Saturday's message, Leo urged those listening in the stadium and online to be beacons of hope capable of inspiring others. 'To share that message of hope with one another — in outreach, in service, in looking for ways to make our world a better place — gives true life to all of us, and is a sign of hope for the whole world,' he said. The afternoon program, emceed by Chicago Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky, highlighted Leo's roots, including music by the city's Leo Catholic High School Choir and a musician from Peru, where Leo lived and worked for years. There was also a discussion featuring a former teacher of the future pope as well as a high school classmate and fellow Augustinian. The event also celebrated the mixing of Catholicism and baseball, including a special invitation from the team for Leo to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at a future White Sox game. Leo, formerly Robert Prevost, was elected May 8, becoming the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the church. Leo, 69, spent his career serving as an Augustinian missionary and ministering in Peru before taking over the Vatican's powerful office of bishops. He succeeded Pope Francis, who died April 21. 'When I see each and every one of you, when I see how people gather together to celebrate their faith, I discover myself how much hope there is in the world,' Leo said in the video message. The program was followed by a Mass celebrated by Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago who was part of the conclave that elected Leo. Meyer writes for the Associated Press.

American Beyoncé fans travel to London for 'Cowboy Carter' tour: Here's why it's worth it
American Beyoncé fans travel to London for 'Cowboy Carter' tour: Here's why it's worth it Beyoncé Knowles-Carter may have wrapped the first U.S. leg of her "Cowboy Carter" tour, but American fans are still traveling to catch her in concert. While ticket prices may have been one factor, many say witnessing the show on an international stage makes the trip worth it. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her lastest concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 14. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. And the stadium was filled with fans from all around the world with many traveling from the U.S. Mya Stewart has been a longtime Beyoncé fan. Despite the Grammy winner making a tour stop near Stewart's home, she says Saturday's show in London was her first Beyoncé concert — a choice driven by ticket prices. "I'm originally from Bronx, New York, and I came to London for the Beyoncé concert, because It's a lot cheaper than in the States," Stewart says. Meanwhile Jasmine Carmichael and her friend Jasmine Batchelor both traveled from the U.S. to witness Beyoncé perform overseas. The trip was significant for more reasons than one. 'We're from New York and there were different factors that went to us choosing the London show' "We're from New York and there were a couple of different factors that went to us choosing the London show. We just wanted to travel first of all," Carmichael says. "But also, we were in that Ticketmaster war — fighting — and London was the one that won." Batchelor emphasized why it was important for them to attend, and the significance of it being an international show. "There's like a lot of erasure that happens of our culture and for her to actually like show us the roots of it on a worldwide scale is kind of huge," Batchelor says. "Also I'm a girl who grew up in Cobb County, Georgia, and there was country all around me but not a lot of me all around me." 'We learned the do's and don'ts from 'Renaissance'' For U.S. fans like Kalen Graham and Natalia Spyrakos it was less about convenience. They solidified tickets in London by strategizing weeks ahead. "We fought for our lives to get our tickets 100%," Graham says. "But we learned the do's and don'ts from 'Renaissance' so we made it happen." The two friends say the most important factor was experiencing the show together. "I'm from New York. She's from Greece. We are friends from New York. She's since relocated," Graham says. "But this is our opportunity to reconnect, make a trip, enjoy each other, see Beyoncé, get dressed up and have the time of our lives." As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her tour has been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The June 14 show was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered another high-energy show. Her last London show is set for June 16, before she heads to Paris for three nights. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Daniel Suárez Shares Powerful Story of Adapting to the USA Before NASCAR Xfinity Win
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Mexican-American NASCAR driver Daniel Suárez has revealed the struggles he faced after arriving in the USA in 2011, the biggest one being the language barrier, as he didn't speak English. Despite the odds, he made it to NASCAR and celebrated his first home race yesterday in Mexico, winning the Xfinity Series race. Unlike many young NASCAR drivers who began racing through family support and financial backing, Suárez arrived in the USA without knowing English and was unable to rent a home on his own. The NASCAR driver made history yesterday by winning the Xfinity race in Mexico, which marked the sport's first international points race since 1958. Ahead of his win, Suárez opened up to 'The Athletic,' speaking to Jeff Gluck about his struggles upon arriving in America. When asked about his life's most challenging phase, he said: Daniel Suarez, driver of the #9 Quaker State Chevrolet, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series The Chilango 150 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 14, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. Daniel Suarez, driver of the #9 Quaker State Chevrolet, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series The Chilango 150 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 14, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico."In 2011, I came to the United States and I didn't have anything. I was living with friends of friends, and I couldn't even rent an apartment because I didn't have Social Security and I didn't speak English. "Somebody asked me, 'Hey, what has been the biggest challenge in your racing career?' And they didn't believe me when I said to them, 'learning English.' I'm being serious. I've had a lot of very, very big challenges, but learning English was the one challenge where I was a little bit scared. I knew I didn't want the language to be the reason why I wasn't going to have a real shot at it." Suárez had to start the race from the back at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit after a crash in the qualifying session destroyed his car, prompting him to use the backup vehicle. While the challenge was a mountainous one, he made his way through the pack to secure his race win. Addressing his victory in the post-race interview, the 33-year-old driver said: "For me, just racing here, just the fact that we have this amazing event here, it means the world. To be able to win the race, I mentioned this a few days ago, I'm living a dream. "Just over 10 years ago, I left this country just trying to find opportunities in the United States with nothing. No English, nothing. I just feel very, very blessed. I'm very happy for everything we were able to accomplish today." He added: "This win is not just for me, and it's not just for Quaker State, it's not just for my team. It's for every single person who has worked so hard the last few years, because this event is not possible because they started working on it 12 months ago. They've been working on this for years. "I feel so fortunate to have these roots and to have chosen NASCAR. 10 years ago, I had to make a decision - either NASCAR or going to Europe. I wanted to go to NASCAR. I'm so happy with that decision."
