The right-hander is taking a firm stance against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ decision to welcome “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, ” a group of drag and transgender ‘Catholic’ nuns.

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — The Southeastern Conference is the biggest and baddest bully on the college football block. That is long-established, indisputable fact. And the league’s member schools and fans will reinforce that truth at every chest-beating, “S-E-C!”-chanting opportunity.

In July 2013, a couple of months after Chelsea had beaten Benfica in the Europa League final, José Mourinho, who had by then succeeded Rafa Benítez as Chelsea manager, scoffed at his predecessor.
“I don’t want to win the Europa League,” he said. “It would be a big disappointment for me. I don’t want my players to feel the Europa League is our competition.” Ten years later, Mourinho is in no position to be picky about which European final he is in.
There was a lot to discuss about this year’s Indianapolis 500. However, one of the biggest talking points was the terrifying crash that sent a wheel flying over the iconic track’s catch fence and into a nearby parking lot.
The incident occurred with just 14 laps to go in what had been otherwise fairly clean race. Arrown McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist hit the wall between Turns 1 and 2.
