Riquelme Criticizes Pérez Stadium Seating
Enrique Riquelme, presidential candidate for Madrid, has attacked the current treatment of club members by Florentino Pérez.

The candidate emphasized that his team has provided the largest guarantees in electoral history and called for respectful debate between projects. 'The president said he wanted projects with guarantees, and we've provided the biggest in any election,' Riquelme noted. piekny-pies.pl
Roland-Garros: les joueurs sont-ils suffisamment payés?
Le tournoi de tennis de Roland-Garros s’est ouvert dans un climat de grogne des joueurs. En cause, leur rémunération qu’ils estiment non proportionnelle aux recettes de l’évènement. Une revendication qui concerne également les trois autres tournois du Grand Chelem. La colère monte, et l’hypothèse d’un boycott a même été évoquée. Les stars du tennis constituent-elles l’arbre qui cache la forêt ? Où vont les recettes engrangées par les directions des plus grands tournois ? Quelle égalité des chances pour devenir l’un des meilleurs joueurs du monde ?
Fernando Mendoza wasn't happy to leave work for NFLPA Rookie Premiere
Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza skipped Indiana’s visit to the White House so that he could focus on his current job. He didn't skip last weekend's NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
It sounds like he wanted to.
“I’m going to be completely honest with you,” Mendoza told Gilbert Manzano of SI.com (via Chris Franklin of NJ.com). “I’d rather be practicing right now and I was really upset about actually having to miss practice for this. Although it’s great. . . . It’s still been a great moment to where it was mandatory I be here. I’m not going to feel sorry for myself and feel wishy-washy."
And so Mendoza did what he always seems to do — he fully embraced the situation he was in.
“I’m going to have a smile on my face and make the most of that present moment,” Mendoza said. “Live and learn all the [NFLPA] benefits, make all the connections with different mentors here, let me make sure I can maximize my time to be able to create a positive impact and learn about my situation and surroundings. So those are all things that I really benefited from being here."
Mendoza apparently didn't miss any of the team's formal OTA sessions for the NFLPA event, which ran from Friday, May 14, through Sunday, May 17. The first OTA happened on Monday, May 18.
The NFLPA Rookie Premiere isn't technically mandatory for the players. But the teams are required under the CBA to allow them to attend. Per Article 21, Section 7: "Invited Rookies will be permitted by their respective Clubs to attend the NFL Players Rookie Premiere provided that: (i) such event is scheduled during the month of May; (ii) such event encompasses a maximum of four consecutive days, including both a Saturday and a Sunday; and (iii) the NFLPA provides the NFL with the dates for the next Rookie Premiere not later than February 1 of each year."
Raiders fans should be happy that Mendoza is all in. Although there's no guarantee that he'll become the team's much-needed, year-to-year franchise quarterback, he's committed to doing everything in his power to get there.

England bowl visitors out for just 80 runs in Hove and claim 2-1 series win over the White Ferns
5th over: New Zealand 27-1 (Gaze 15, Kerr 5) Ecclestone is on the money, five dots ties down Amelia Kerr. The batter paddles the final ball away fine for four but its a cheap over for England and a thrifty start from their wily left arm spinner.
4th over: New Zealand 23-1 (Gaze 15, Kerr 1) Magnificent batting from Izzy Gaze. She laps Wong over Amy Jones’s head behind the stumps for four and then follows up with a blistering drive over long on for SIX! Charlie Dean is summoning Sophie Ecclestone.
