Angels-Dodgers fans get into ugly brawl that leads to two arrests
Things got ugly quickly in the outfield stands at Angel Stadium. During Wednesday's game between the Angels and the Dodgers, a violent brawl broke out, with punches and kicks being thrown throughout. The incident, which was caught on camera and went viral on social media, included a fan wearing a Mike Trout Angels jersey getting punched by a man in a black shirt. After the Angels fan fell back into his seat, a Dodgers supporter ran behind and kicked him directly in the head. The altercation led to two arrests, according to TMZ Sports. A spokesperson for the Anaheim Police Department said the fight 'appears to have started over the stealing of a hat,' per TMZ Sports. However, the police did not say exactly who took the cap. The Dodgers fan kicked the Angels fan directly in the head. @Actually_Borgen/X The APD said two people in their mid-20s were arrested for the fight, with one being charged with a misdemeanor assault and the other — who the cops deemed the primary attacker — is facing a felony assault charge. The identities of the two individuals have not been released. At the time of the brawl, the victim did not accept transportation to the hospital for his injuries, and it remains unclear if they went to seek medical attention following the game. Two people were arrested for the fight. @Actually_Borgen/X As for the game, the Angels ended up sweeping their rival with a 6-5 comeback win, only furthering the Dodgers' skid to start the second half of the season. Following the loss, Shohei Ohtani said that the Dodgers are doing everything possible to try and end their cold streak. 'Obviously, it doesn't feel good to fall into second place and to lose a lot of these games,' Ohtani told reporters. 'We're doing everything in our power, having close meetings, doing everything that we can to try to right the ship. We just have to do a better job.' With the Dodgers holding a 10-13 record since the All-Star break, the Padres have risen to first place in the NL West, holding a one-game lead over Los Angeles.

Netflix fans obsessed with 'deeply unsettling' brand new Nordic crime drama - which boasts a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score
Netflix fans are obsessed with a 'deeply unsettling' brand new Nordic crime drama - which boasts a perfect 100 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score. Secrets We Keep, a six-part Danish-language series, only dropped on the streamer yesterday - but its portrayals of gender and class tensions have already seen it compared to this year's biggest hits, Adolescence and The White Lotus. The programme begins with the disappearance of a Filipino au pair named Ruby from an affluent Copenhagen neighbourhood. Neighbour Cecilie begins to suspect foul play - but as she investigates along with her own au pair Angel and rookie police officer Aicha, the woman uncovers darker truths than she ever expected. It is created by award-winning Danish screenwriter Ingeborg Topsøe and directed by Per Fly, known for his work on beloved Danish political drama Borgen, released from 2010 to 2022. Along with its high critical praise on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, fans are also already loving it, taking to X to praise the show. One said: 'Secrets We Keep started out like a regular missing persons case but it gradually unravelled into a tangled web of social and sexual controversy that went right for the jugular. 'The show compelled you to question your own prejudice and biases as well. Deeply unsettling.' Another added: 'Secrets We Keep is a good thriller. Danish content. Basically, another example of Europeans making way better content than the hyped Americans.' Someone else said: 'There's a Danish series on Netflix called Secrets We Keep. If you thought Adolescence was something educational, this is another.' Critics have given it equal praise, with review site Collider dubbing it an 'entertaining yet gripping and relevant whodunnit mini-series about tensions and suspicions between the haves and the have-notes'. It added: 'It's hard to imagine it won't find an audience as Secrets We Keep explores similar thematic territory to this year's most zeitgeisty hits Adolescence and The White Lotus and in some ways handles its dark material even better. 'You can watch this remarkably efficient thriller from start to finish in just over three hours and you should.' Marie Bach Hansen, known for her turn in 2019 film The Last Vermeer with Guy Pearce, about a Dutch artist accused of selling a valuable painting to the Nazis, takes the lead role of Cecilie. Neighbour Cecilie (pictured) begins to suspect foul play - but as she investigates along with her own au pair Angel and rookie police officer Aicha, the woman uncovers darker truths than she ever expected It has received high critical praise on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer Fans are also already loving it, taking to X to praise the show It also stars Lars Ranthe, seen in the 2020 film Another Round with Mads Mikkelsen about high-school teachers who maintain a constant level of alcohol in their blood to aid creativity - which soon goes too far. Director Per has previously said of the series: 'Beneath the polished surface, secrets and conflicts are simmering. 'I was curious to explore what happens when the facade begins to crack – and the human truths emerge.' Creator Ingeborg added: 'I enjoy experimenting with the genre because it requires the audience's full attention, and placing a crime story in this particular setting is especially compelling. 'What happens when care and intimacy within the home are outsourced to an au pair? 'What does that stir in us - and in those closest to us? Does it reveal the best in us, or the worst?'

Nike To Settle Sexual Discrimination Lawsuit Hanging Over Its Head Since 2018
Nike has agreed to settle a sexual discrimination lawsuit brought by four ex-employees, ending a protracted legal battle that tarnished the company's reputation and allowing new CEO Elliott Hill to concentrate on revitalizing the company, reports the Oregonian. Just weeks before the case was to go to trial, Nike legal representative, Felicia Davis of the Paul Davis law firm, said the plaintiff's claims have been resolved 'at a very high level,' though a final agreement has yet to be written. The plaintiff's counsel, James Kan of Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho, said in a videoconference before presiding Judge Amy Baggio that 'certain settlement terms' have been agreed to and that all parties are 'committed to working to getting all of those finalized.' The agreement also includes a proposed class action settlement, though specifics about the size of the class have not been specified. Judge Baggio ordered the parties to make a joint report to the court by April 11 regarding the proposed class settlement. Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. In the original complaint, Nike was accused of violating the Federal Equal Pay Act, the Oregon Equal Pay Act and the Oregon Equality Act. At the time, the plaintiffs didn't ask for specific monetary damages, according to the Oregonian. Instead, they sought the court to order Nike to pay its employees 'fairly' without regard to gender. Throughout the proceedings, Nike affirmed it is committed to a 'workplace that is respectful and inclusive of all employees,' it shared in a statement with me, adding, 'We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form.' After the sexual harassment and discrimination allegations came to light in 2018, Nike conducted a 'large-scale investigation' and 'took corrective action where appropriate,' which included the immediate departure of nearly a dozen senior executives, notably then Nike brand president Trevor Edwards, according to the Oregonian. His early retirement was reported not to be related to the inquiries. However, a number of his close executive team were shown the door. The wide-spread allegations of sexual wrongdoings came to light after the results of an unofficial internal survey among female employees was presented to then CEO Mark Parker in early 2018. The results suggested the company ran as a virtual 'boys' club,' where women were 'devalued and demeaned' and sexual discrimination and harassment went unchecked. In May 2018, Parker held an unprecedented all-employee meeting and apologized for allowing a corporate culture to exist that excluded 'some staff' and failing to 'take seriously complaints about workplace issues,' the Wall Street Journal reported. Despite the company's acknowledgment of bad past practices, it has fought to withhold specifics from the so-called Starfish survey, including the names of executives involved in alleged misconduct. In 2022, the Oregonian/OregonLive, Business Insider and Portland Business Journal petitioned the court to require Nike to release all previously sealed and unredacted materials in the interest of full disclosure. This resulted in ongoing court proceedings between the media outlets and Nike related to the sexual discrimination case, though not part of the announced settlement. Nike continues to fight to keep a lid on further disclosures. As part of Oregonian journalist Matthew Kish's continued reporting on Nike, early last year, the plaintiffs' attorney mistakenly gave him unredacted versions of some documents previously sealed. After learning of the unintended leak, Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo ordered the Oregonian to destroy copies of those documents and not to disseminate the information in any way. However, she reversed that decision a month later, and her ruling was affirmed by another district judge. Nike appealed, claiming the Oregonian was an 'intervenor' in the sexual harassment case based upon the 2022 petition for full disclosure. Earlier this month, a panel of three judges in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Nike that the Oregonian is 'bound by court orders sealing records.' Oregonian editor Therese Bottomly described that ruling as 'baffling and quite troubling on First Amendment grounds.' Claiming Kish did nothing improper and that the information he received was highly newsworthy to the public, the Oregonian plans to appeal the 9th Circuit Court's ruling with attorney Grayson Clary of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press taking the lead. Based upon the information that the Oregonian received, Kish reports that among the roughly two dozen executives named, some still remain with the company in senior or highly visible positions – 'contradicting what Nike has said in earlier public statements.' While Nike continues the legal fight to keep records private, it is to be commended for putting the sexual discrimination and harassment lawsuit behind it. Now CEO Elliott Hill, who stepped into his position last October, can give full attention to the brand's 'Win Now' turnaround plan. There is much work to do after just reporting third quarter revenues declined 9%, and through the first nine months of the year, sales are off 9% to $35.2 billion. This coincided with a drop in Nike's reputation after last year's Olympics, according to corporate reputation management firm RepTrak. However, RepTrak vice president Stephen Hahn reports that Nike's reputation has started to rebound. 'In coming to a legal settlement and benefiting from the positive momentum of returning CEO Elliott Hill, who has a new vision and recommitment to focusing on the athlete, including women, we should expect a further positive improvement in Nike's reputation based on RepTrak data,' Hahn shared.
