In the NFL offseason, star running back Saquon Barkley signed a $40 million contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. Make no mistake, he earned it after rushing for 2,005 yards in the regular season and helping to bring another Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia. I’m not alone in thinking this. As one sports writer put the point“He deserves it…Barkley is easy to root for, not only because he can jump backward over people, but also because he works hard, he’s kind, and he’s a great teammate.” Rarely does anyone argue that it’s morally wrong for a football player, or other performer,…

The African nation will now have to qualify via a play-off. Alex Iwobi says Nigeria’s World Cup dream has been “resurrected from the dead” after a turbulent qualifying campaign that almost ended in disaster. The Super Eagles looked on course for a shock early exit after taking just three points from their first four games, drawing at home to both Lesotho and Zimbabwe while cycling through three different coaches. Injuries to star striker Victor Osimhen only deepened the crisis. But a late surge, including a 4-0 win over Benin, secured Nigeria’s place in the African play-offs on goal difference. Now,…

The use of Russian assets has had little impact on financial markets — good news for the EU and Ukraine, stresses a Ukrainian economist. Since 2022, Western partners have played a crucial role in maintaining Ukraine’s economic resilience. However, future financing depends on political consensus. Given the ongoing war, Ukraine needs reliable, multi-year funding to sustain its defense and essential state services. Cutting financial support would increase the likelihood of Ukraine’s defeat and shift Russia’s security threat directly to the EU’s borders, resulting in higher defense costs than current aid levels. Securing additional funding from the budgets of EU member…
