From misogynist content creators such as Andrew Tate to the ubiquity of pornography, boys face a barrage of toxic influences. We talk to sixth-formers about the pressures and joys they experienceThe release of the hit Netflix drama Adolescence this month has unleashed a wave of panic around teenage boys. Keir Starmer said the UK “may have a problem with boys and young men”, while parents began worried conversations about their children’s online lives. But how true to life is it?Michael Conroy, who has been going into schools to train teachers and professionals about boys’ personal development for years, says he has seen a shift in what he hears about. “Just 10 years ago, we didn’t have young men speaking in very sexualised ways to female teachers, quite a few in the same school.” He sees the ubiquity of pornography as a huge factor, with boys as young as 11 using it obsessively. “I’m getting invited to work with primary schools now.” The knock-on effect, he says, is an unrealistic a...

9 h. ago Haaland and Marmoush fire Manchester City to comeback win at Bournemouth

Manchester City continue to dream of a silver-lined finish to an underwhelming season. It was a day when Bournemouth were determined to make history by reaching a first semi-final in any major competition and their hopes were high at half-time. Not only had Kepa Arrizabalaga saved an Erling Haaland penalty, they were in front thanks to Evanilson’s scrambled finish.City were on the canvas. They would clamber up in fine style. Haaland had missed other chances and he would be forced off with an injury. But before he went, he had scored the equaliser. The match-winner would be his replacement. Omar Marmoush had been on the field for a matter of minutes and his first involvement was to take a touch before sweeping past Kepa. Continue reading...

A new book chronicles the Slovenian’s rise with the Dallas Mavericks, his extraordinary skills and the fallout from a trade that shook the NBASeventy-three points. That was Luka Dončić’s total when he led the Dallas Mavericks to a victory over the Atlanta Hawks last season. He wasn’t the only NBA player to have an explosion on offense that season – think Joel Embiid or Karl-Anthony Towns. And the league subsequently decided to change officiating to favor more physical play that would presumably cut down on high offensive output.That’s how Tim MacMahon sees it. The veteran ESPN writer has covered Dončić since the Slovenian’s arrival in Dallas as one of the most heralded European talents in NBA history. He saw Dončić live up to his billing, leading the Mavericks to the Western Conference finals in 2022 and the NBA finals last year. And he knew that even a change in rules wouldn’t stop Dončić’s stepback three. Continue reading...
