Barkley Urges Accountability as Minneapolis Shooting Delays NBA Game

After a fatal shooting by a federal officer in Minneapolis, which eyewitness footage later disputed as possibly showing a phone rather than a weapon, the NBA postponed the Timberwolves–Warriors game to prioritize community safety. Charles Barkley condemned the deaths, saying “Two people have died for no reason” and urging adults to take responsibility, as the city has seen a second fatal federal shooting this month (with an earlier ICE killing cited). The league rescheduled the game for Sunday as part of its safety response.

USWNT's Naeher's Heroics and Smith's Redemption: A Recap of Key Moments in Recent Matches

The recent USWNT-Canada match and an MLS game were both affected by extreme weather, but were allowed to continue despite the poor conditions. In North America, soccer games are typically only called off or delayed due to lightning or weather impacting the stadium's structural integrity. The decision to play in inclement weather is ultimately up to the match referee or match commissioner. Different leagues, such as CONCACAF and NWSL, have specific rules for weather delays, while MLS considers safety, playability of the field, logistical factors, and commercial aspects when making postponement decisions. Players and former USWNT members expressed concerns about the unsafe playing conditions on social media.

"Air Quality Concerns Fail to Halt Cubs-Phillies Game in Chicago"

The Chicago Cubs released their starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field, despite concerns over the city's very unhealthy air quality due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The game's status remained uncertain, but Cubs manager David Ross expected it to proceed as scheduled. Meteorologists suggested that the weather could improve by game time, although there might still be a layer of smoke and haze. Earlier this month, MLB postponed games on the East Coast due to similar conditions. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson advised vulnerable groups to limit outdoor activities and wear masks.
