43 h. ago Belichick denies he is looking for exit strategy after stumbling UNC start

Reports have said coach wants out of UNC contractTar Heels have lost three of first five games this seasonBill Belichick has denied reports that he has been considering an exit strategy from his role as North Carolina’s head coach. “Some of the reports out last week about my looking for a buyout and trying to leave here and all that, it’s just categorically false,” Belichick said on Monday during his first public comments since a blowout loss to Clemson at the start of the month. “Glad I’m here. Working toward our goals and the process.”During the second of two off weeks in a three-week span, the subject of Belichick’s status and future with the Tar Heels was a hot topic, so much so that last Wednesday the university released brief statements from the coach and athletics director Bubba Cunningham reaffirming commitments between Belichick and the school. Reports had said the 73-year-old wanted to return to the NFL as a coach or in the media. Continue reading...

50 h. ago ‘These men think they’ve done nothing wrong’: the philosopher who tried to understand Gisèle Pelicot’s rapists

When 50 men went on trial in France, accused of raping a woman who had been drugged by her husband, Manon Garcia was in the courtroom – and in the prosecutors’ closing arguments. How does she make sense of what happened?‘It is so rare, in fact it never happens, that crimes are so well documented.” Manon Garcia is the French feminist philosopher whose thinking featured so prominently in the final stages of the Dominique Pelicot trial. There are, she points out, 20,000 videos and photos of Gisèle Pelicot “being raped, unconscious, by complete strangers”. One might struggle to understand why, in the face of such compelling factual evidence against her husband Dominique and a further 50 men, prosecutors would need to bring in a philosophical argument to explain why this was wrong. But since they did, they couldn’t have found a clearer or more persuasive voice than Garcia’s, the author of We Are Not Born Submissive and The Joy of Consent.Last November, six weeks into the trial, Garcia ar...
