Tottenham Challenges Bentancur's 7-Game Ban for Son Remark

Tottenham Hotspur have appealed the seven-game ban imposed on Rodrigo Bentancur for making racially insensitive comments about teammate Son Heung-min. Bentancur was fined £100,000 and banned for using "insulting words" that referenced ethnic origin. Tottenham accepted the decision but are appealing the length of the ban, hoping for a reduction. The FA's minimum ban for discriminatory language is six games, and Bentancur's comments were made in a TV interview, limiting the scope for a significant reduction.

"Mary Poppins Receives New Age Rating Due to Racial Slur Controversy"

The British Board of Film Classification has raised the age rating of the classic film "Mary Poppins" to PG due to the use of the discriminatory term "hottentots" twice, which is now considered offensive. The term is used in the film to describe the soot-covered faces of chimney sweeps and exceeds the guidelines for U films. In the U.S., the film's rating remains unchanged at G, with no notation about discriminatory language.
