5 h. ago Fifa agrees to mandatory rest periods to help protect players from burnout

Players’ union demands 72-hour rest between gamesFifa maintains focus on creating more global eventsThe global players’ union, Fifpro, has secured a significant victory in its battle to protect top stars against injury and burnout, with Fifa agreeing to the principle of introducing mandatory rest periods.After talks in New York on Saturday, on the eve of the Club World Cup final, involving the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, and senior Fifpro officials, the world governing body released a statement saying both parties had reached a consensus on the need for a 72-hour gap between games during the season, as well as a three-week period of rest during the summer.

While Fifpro welcomed the commitment to a 72-hour gap between games during the season, as well as a three-week break during the summer, it is understood union executives have been left nonplussed by what has been described as a flawed process.The Guardian has learned that no one from Fifpro or the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) was present at the meeting with Fifa officials in New York on Saturday that led to what was an unexpected announcement. In a photograph that accompanied Fifa’s press release its president, Gianni Infantino, was pictured with union officials from all over the world, but many of them were from organisations expelled from Fif...

9 h. ago Has America learned anything from the George Floyd uprisings? | Eric Morrison

The response to the demonstrations fell short. But they marked the beginning of a new era that calls for actionFive years ago, the entire world changed when we saw George Floyd’s body on the pavement, a knee pressed into his neck – a murder, in broad daylight. Others might have simply witnessed a horrific incident, but Black people saw ourselves, and what it’s like to live with a knee on our necks at all times. Because George Floyd wasn’t the first – and unless we uproot this system, he won’t be the last. The police have gone so far as to remind us of this by killing more people each year since George Floyd.But the uprisings of 2020 didn’t erupt because of one killing. They were the breaking point of centuries of violence and neglect. Trayvon Martin. Freddie Gray. Sandra Bland. Oscar Grant. Breonna Taylor. Dreasjon Reed. Ma’Khia Bryant. Ahmaud Arbery. And far too many others whose names never trended. The message was clear: we’ve had enough. Continue reading...
