FIFA oddly abandoned anti-racism messaging for the Club World Cup
FIFA oddly abandoned anti-racism messaging for the Club World Cup Anyone who has watched an international soccer game in the past decade has will know that FIFA'a anti-racism campaign plays a prominent visible role. There are "Say No To Racism" patches on the jersey sleeves and on the captain's armband. The same message appears on the field-side digital banners frequently throughout a game. But for the inaugural expanded Club World Cup in the U.S., the anti-discrimination messaging has been completely absent. It's been absent to a point that it had to be a deliberate choice to leave the "Say No To Racism" campaign out of the stateside tournament. The reason for that? FIFA hasn't been willing answer. But The Athletic did directly ask FIFA if the absence of the campaign had to do with a U.S. government that vocally opposes inclusivity and diversity, but FIFA didn't respond. Oddly enough, FIFA did reportedly work on an anti-racism campaign for the Club World Cup but has opted to not display any of it in the tournament thus far. In a statement, FIFA affirmed it remains against racism but didn't explain why the campaign has disappeared for these matches in the U.S. Via The Athletic: 'FIFA has a firm, zero-tolerance stance against all forms of discrimination and racism. This commitment was recently reinforced through the unanimous approval by the FIFA Council of the revised FIFA Disciplinary Code, which introduces new measures to fight racist abuse — including increased minimum bans for racist incidents and enhanced financial penalties as duly informed to the 75th FIFA Congress in Asuncion in May 2025.' It's yet another major mistake that FIFA has made with the Club World Cup.

Different layers of motifs, puzzles bring stylish take on 65-year-old female killer
'The Old Woman with the Knife' and its film adaptation offer diverging visions of aging, violence and redemption "The Old Woman with the Knife" by Gu Byeong-mo follows a female assassin nearing the end of her career — a striking and compelling premise that has proven irresistible for adaptation. The hardboiled Korean action-thriller novel, originally published in 2018, was reimagined as a musical last year and its film adaptation premiered at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival. It follows the story of Hornclaw (played by Lee Hye-young), a 65-year-old assassin whose age is beginning to catch up with her, and Bullfight (Kim Sung-cheol), an enigmatic young man who trails her with unclear motives. Her line of work, already dangerous, grows more precarious as she ages, and the world around her begins to see her as obsolete. 'She's like the legendary gunman whose hands have started to shake,' said director Min Kyu-dong at a press conference. 'Then a hotheaded newcomer shows up and challenges her to a duel. When she refuses, he starts firing wildly to provoke a confrontation.' Both the novel and the film center their narratives on this aging killer. But while the book turns inward, delving into the psychological weight of growing old — questions of powerlessness and the meaning of existence — the film leans outward, embracing visual spectacle through action-packed confrontations, tense chases and uneasy alliances. At its best, the film is not a retelling, but a divergent reflection of the same story — like a puzzle assembled from the same pieces, yet arranged into an entirely different picture. Bullfight and Hornclaw: Rivalries in two registers One of the starkest differences between the novel and the film lies in the characterization of Bullfight. In the film, his backstory is clearer and more emotionally grounded, hinting at a traumatic event that not only fuels his obsession with defeating Hornclaw but also his desperate need to leave a mark on her life. For the film to work, Bullfight's world had to be as robust as Hornclaw's, according to the director. "What could have pushed a young man to seek out a showdown with an aging killer? Perhaps a traumatic event, powerful enough to upend his entire life, is what drives him," said Min. 'With a novel, if something doesn't make sense, you can close the book and come back later. In a film, the moment passes, and if you don't understand, the rest of the story might not land.' The novel resists clarity. Bullfight's motivations remain ambiguous, his feelings toward Hornclaw unreadable. Gu has consistently declined to offer any clarification since the novel's release. 'It's the part readers are most curious about,' she said. 'But if I give a clear answer, the mystery disappears. I want readers to sit with their own questions.' Power struggle Another key divergence appears in the portrayal of the fictional company. In the novel, the shadowy organization of contract killing is referred to only vaguely as 'the agency." Both Hornclaw and her former partner and mentor, Ryoo (Kim Moo-yul), recognize the moral compromise inherent in their line of work, fully aware that their so-called 'clean-up' jobs are, in the end, acts of unforgivable violence. In the film, the moral framing is more ambiguous — even somewhat palatable. Hornclaw describes her work as a kind of sacred duty, targeting only those whose crimes seem to warrant death. There are boundaries, rules that govern her actions. The agency's director, Son (Kim Kang-woo), harbors ambitions to modernize it and ultimately edge Hornclaw out. Their conflict deepens as Son aligns with the newcomer, advocating for new ethics and methods within the agency. This clash reflects not only generational tensions but also a clash over justice, efficiency and the value of human life, leaving the aging Hornclaw increasingly sidelined and dismissed. Moral ambiguity Similar to the ethics of the agency that Hornclaw clings to, the film portrays her as a figure holding onto some sense of justice and righteousness, with her first love, Ryoo, also lingering as a sacred yet mysterious presence in her past. For example, Hornclaw's first murder is deliberately ambiguous in the film. The novel, however, offers a harsher, more unsettling interpretation: Ryoo intentionally abandons the young Hornclaw in a dangerous situation, out of a need to take care of the offender. Far from heroes, the novel suggests that neither Hornclaw nor Ryoo was innocent or virtuous. The novel devotes considerable space to Hornclaw's troubled history: her years of drifting from place to place, during which she was driven to steal not out of necessity but recklessness, her fraught relationship with Ryoo, and her child (omitted entirely from the film). This portrayal adds a layer of moral ambiguity and emotional complexity to the story. Many symbolic motifs — existence and disappearance, wounds, loss and recovery, salvation and violence — are intricately woven into the book. The film, likewise, is layered with motifs and puzzles. According to the director, even something as simple as a car's license plate hides a code. 'I hope that discovering these subtle details will be a small but rewarding pleasure for the audience and book fans alike," said Min "The Old Woman with the Knife" novel is available in English, translated by Chi-Young Kim, as well as in several other languages in 13 countries. hwangdh@

‘Spend in the Black' event boosts investment in Black-owned businesses
CHICAGO – A celebration of Black entrepreneurship designed to boost economic power in historically Black communities is empowering consumers to re-think where they spend their hard-earned money. From sweet treats and food to clothing, accessories, flowers and so much more, Natasha Olguin joined hundreds of people on 75th Street near King Drive Saturday for 'Spend in the Black.' 'There were all these amazing corridors on the West Side and the South Side. We had 63rd Street, you had 75th, you had Pulaski and now, unfortunately, we don't always spend with us, so these type of events are extremely valuable,' Olguin said. Personal trainer and body builder Jerisa Upton was also in attendance at Saturday's event. Upton owns House Fitness based in Hyde Park and was one of more than 100 vendors out on Saturday. YarnCon: Chicago's indie fiber festival sparks craft creativity 'The way that I'm living now, I feel like a completely new person and I want to give that to everybody,' Upton said. While focusing on overall wellness, she said she's also passionate about helping clients look really good. 'Learning how to unlock nutrition and exercise can literally age you backwards,' Upton said. Ald. William Hall (6th Ward) and Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates, senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church and Salem Baptist Church, helped spearhead Saturday's event. The hope is for Spend in the Black to have a lasting impact, ultimately pouring a significant amount of money back into the local Black community. 'When you add up all of these businesses, this is a whole different tax bracket and so SSA's TIF dollars are formed with businesses, and so I believe what we need to do right now is use our money in a micro way,' Hall said. Aside from empowering business owners and highlighting their goods and services, Spend in the Black also serves as a response to several corporations cutting back diversity, equity and inclusion programs. 'At a time when some of the larger businesses take our dollars but do not respect our dignity, this is an opportunity to spend our dollars where our dignity is affirmed,' Dates said. Cook County Comm'r. Tara Stamps (1st District) echoed these claims. 'Out of great chaos, we've created enormous opportunity to be self reliant, to be interdependent so that we know we can do for ourself and practice principles that come down from our ancestors,' Stamps said. Fellowship Fleet Car Service, a luxury limo company that serves the city and some major institutions, also participated in Saturday's festivities.

Everywhere we show up we are excellence,' Tiabryanna Balentine of Fellowship Fleet said. Throughout Spend in the Black, several shoppers were given $1,000 for an emergency savings account. 'The average America doesn't have $1,000 saved. We're going to meet that need today for eight people,' Dates said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
