Doomed to fail: China on calls for Beijing 2022 Olympic boycott

Chinese government spokesperson Guo Weimi&nbsp;said Wednesday that&nbsp;Calls for a boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on human rights grounds are 'doomed to fail.'
A small but vocal core of international lawyers, politicians and activists have brought pressure on Olympic sponsors, sports federations, governments and athletes to shun what they are branding as the "Genocide Games" because of reported human rights abuses against Muslim&nbsp;minorities in China.
Canada's House of Commons voted 266-0 in a nonbinding referendum that China is committing genocide against more than 1 million Uyghurs and called for the IOC to move the Olympics from Beijing.

As the announcement of the European Super League was made, fans gathered outside their football clubs to show anger against the proposed new league. Die-hard football supporters were seen outside some of the most iconic football grounds like the&nbsp;Emirates,&nbsp;Anfield&nbsp;&amp; even the Old Trafford. There were massive protests as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United fans showed their anger against the new league. The supporters feel that the owners of these massive football clubs are running after money and the new league will destroy the game completely. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson too feels the same and said that his government will try to stop the European Super League.&nbsp;

The International Cricket Council has said the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand&nbsp;will go ahead as planned. The match which is scheduled&nbsp;to be played from 18th June in Southampton&nbsp;will go ahead despite Britain added India to the travel "red list" after the&nbsp;COVID-19 caseload surge.&nbsp;India entering the "red list" effectively bans all travel from the country and makes a 10-day hotel quarantine compulsory for UK residents arriving back home. ICC&nbsp;however said that staging the WTC&nbsp;final will not get affected as the players will be in a bio-secure environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Chennai Super Kings captain&nbsp;Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that it is hard to "keep up" with younger players in the team but it will be a "big positive" for the 39-year-old if they are not able to point fingers at him over his fitness. Dhoni&nbsp;who retired from international cricket last year admitted that he is not getting younger and getting old and being fit are two difficult things. The former India captain who leads the Chennai Super Kings in IPL&nbsp;has been a benchmark for fitness in Indian cricket.&nbsp;

It's safe to say that the Chennai Super Kings are back to being the force they once were, as MS Dhoni's men thrashed Rajasthan Royals by 45 runs, to claim their 2nd consecutive win. Batting first, a collective effort powered CSK to 188/9. Royals' run chase looked on track when they were 87/2. That's CSK spun its web of destruction. After Jadeja picked 2 wickets in an over, Moeen Ali crushed Royals' hopes with 3 scalps in 4 balls. Rajasthan could eventually manage 143/9 and were handed 2nd loss in 3 games.&nbsp;

It will a repeat of last year's final as the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians take on Delhi Capitals in Chennai on Tuesday. Having won 2 of their 3 games each, both sides will be high on confidence going into the clash.&nbsp;
It still is a tale of 2 contrasts. While Mumbai&nbsp;rely a lot on their bowling and have defended 2 low totals, Delhi is a batting heavy unit and chased down 196 vs Punjab with 10 balls to spare.&nbsp;
Apart from beating the men from the capital in the final showdown last year, Mumbai&nbsp;also have a 16-12 overall head-to-head record against Delhi and will may have their noses slightly ahead on Tuesday night.

English Premier League club Tottenham sacked manager Jose Mourinho on Monday after just 17 months in charge. The sacking came just 6 days

English Premier League club&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;sacked manager&nbsp;Jose Mourinho&nbsp;on Monday&nbsp;after just 17 months in charge. The&nbsp;sacking came just 6 days before the Spurs were set to face Manchester City in the EFL Cup final.&nbsp;
The Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager in November 2019 and guided the club to 6th in the Premier League last season.
Tottenham was&nbsp;7th on the table at the time of his sacking, and had picked up two points from their last 3 league games. They were also knocked out of the Europa League in March.

Mason Greenwood scored a brace for Manchester United as they thrashed Burnley&nbsp;3-1 at the Old Trafford on Sunday night in the Premier League. Edinson&nbsp;Cavani&nbsp;scored the 3rd goal for Ole Gunnar&nbsp;Solskjaer's men as they completed a night of dominating football to ensure 3 points. With the loss, Burnley&nbsp;hovers right over the relegation zone in the 17th spot whereas United reduced the gap with City to 8 points on top of the league.&nbsp;

A late winner from&nbsp;Edward Nketiah&nbsp;was enough to deny Fulham a much-deserved win as Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at home. The draw pushes Fulham&nbsp;further into the relegation zone as they are 18th on the points table. Arsenal on the other hand remains 9th in the league as their chances of playing European football next year received a major blow. To make matters worse for Mikel&nbsp;Arteta&nbsp;and his side,&nbsp;Alexandre Lacazette&nbsp;limped off in the 2nd half with a hamstring issue and is likely to miss some games according to the manager.&nbsp;

Football in European competitions will never be the same again after 12 major clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, AC

Football in European competitions will never be the same again after 12 major clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, AC Milan, Inter Milan &amp; Juventus&nbsp;announced a new league on Sunday.
Called the European Super League, the clubs plan to boycott playing in the existing UEFA&nbsp;Champions League and start their own mid-week competition. Apart from playing in their respective domestic leagues, the 12 clubs will play in the new competition starting 2024.
In a joint statement, the consortium named Real Madrid President Florentino Perez&nbsp;Perez as the founding chairman of the proposed league as it aims to provide a larger chunk of money to clubs for development.
Almost 3.5 billion euros is promised to all the 12 clubs who have agreed so far with a few more from Germany &amp; France expected to join. The business model of the new league is fairly simple, the clubs who formed the league want a larger share of broadcast earnings.
&nbsp;
All clubs will get more matches as compared to the original model of the Champions League with a much larger share of the earnings as currently UEFA, the European football authority controls the cash flow.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The disruption of the current model could undermine the domestic leagues as the stakeholders are worried that it will change the way football is run in Europe but the new consortium wants more financial control and independence. Fans too are not very happy as they feel that the essence &amp; purity of football might get lost when money controls the beautiful game.&nbsp;

In the upper half of the points table, RCB&nbsp;continue to occupy top spot with 3 wins from as many games. They are followed by&nbsp;Delhi and&nbsp;Mumbai&nbsp;with 4 points each.&nbsp;Chennai are at the 4th spot with&nbsp;2 points from 2 games.
Rajasthan, Kolkata and Punjab take the 5th, 6th and 7th spots respectively with 1 win each. Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad are yet to open their campaign and have lost all 3 games so far.

As if losing 3 consecutive games was not bad enough for the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad,&nbsp;Muttiah Muralitharan, who is part of SRH's coaching staff&nbsp;underwent an&nbsp;angioplasty procedure at a city hospital in Chennai.&nbsp;
Muralitharan, who turned 49 on Saturday, had a clot in his&nbsp;artery which required him to undergo the procedure. The surgery went well and he is likely to be discharged on Monday evening.
The Sri&nbsp;Lankan&nbsp;legend though will now have to undergo a 7-day mandatory quarantine period before joining the SRH&nbsp;camp, since he had to be taken out of the bio-bubble.

After a hiccup in the previous game, Delhi Capitals brought their campaign back on track with a 6-wicket win vs Punjab Kings. Batting first, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal took their side off to a flying start with a 122-run opening stand. But Delhi fought back with quick wickets and restricted Punjab to 195/4. Delhi openers too looked determined to chase it down and despite Prithvi Shaw getting out for 32,&nbsp;Shikhar Dhawan carried on and put his side in command with a 49-ball-92. Delhi got over the finish line with ease and pulled off the&nbsp;2nd best run chase at the Wankhkede stadium.
