‘Since its launch on January 15, 2001, Wikipedia has been the target of waves upon waves of criticism. At first most of it was warranted. The pages of the free online crowd-sourced encyclopedia contained a great number of factual errors, making it easy for established encyclopedia brands like Encyclopedia Britannica to throw shots. Teachers and professors forbade their students from using Wikipedia as a source in their work. The tide began to change, however, as Jimmy Wale’s project grew, and the editing and contribution system he put in place, one which allowed anyone with some free time to lend a hand, became more refined. Independent studies began to show that Wikipedia’s information was virtually as reliable as for-pay encyclopedias, giving credence to Wale’s dream to provide all of the world’s information for free to whoever wants it.
However, the same aspect that made Wikipedia so remarkable is the same reason why people still look at it with a side-eye. Because nearly anyone can contribute, we’ve seen numerous pages flooded with wrong information, derogatory slurs, and funny images. Wikipedia calls it vandalism. To combat this, the not-for-profit has taken measures such as permanently locking pages. We’re sure you’ve heard of some cases of a celebrity—like, most recently, Rick Ross—being declared dead. There’s a bunch more.’

The Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) in Berne has informed UEFA that, on the basis of the information gathered, it considers itself to be in a position to rule on the complaint filed by Swiss club FC Sion on 27 October 2011, alleging that UEFA had committed an abuse of a dominant position.
The secretariat of the Competition Commission has decided to take no action on Sion’s complaint, thereby reaffirming that UEFA has not violated the rules of free competition and that the decisions of its disciplinary bodies represent neither an abuse of a dominant position nor an obstacle to free competition.
On 2 September 2011, the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body imposed two match forfeits on Sion for having fielded ineligible players in UEFA Europa League matches against Celtic FC on 18 and 25 August 2011. This decision was upheld by the UEFA Appeals Body on 13 September 2011.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) also upheld UEFA’s decisions on 15 December 2011, concluding, among other things, that UEFA had not committed an abuse of a dominant position as defined in the Swiss Cartels Act.

CHICAGO (Feb. 7, 2012) – Former U.S. Men’s National Team defender Harry Keough, one of the key players on the U.S. squad that upset England during the 1950 FIFA World Cup, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 84 at his home in St. Louis.
“We are all saddened by the loss of such an important man in the history of U.S. Soccer,” said U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati. “Harry was a true pioneer, representing the finest of a generation of men and women who built the foundations for soccer in the United States on which we stand today. While his participation on the U.S. team that beat England in the 1950 FIFA World Cup remains a memory that fans around the world treasure, it is his lasting contribution to soccer in St. Louis and around the country as a player and a coach that will be his true legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Alma, and his children Ty, Colleen and Peggy.”
The National Soccer Hall of Famer was a member of the U.S. MNT in the 1940s and 1950s. He earned 19 caps for the United States, highlighted by the USA’s 1-0 victory against England on June 29, 1950, at the FIFA World Cup. Keough helped anchor a U.S. backline that kept a clean sheet against one of the tournament favorites.
Keough also played for St. Louis Kutis, which won the 1957 U.S. Open Cup and the National Amateur Cup six consecutive times between 1956 and 1961.

So, the bet was this: If the Patriots won the Super Bowl, AJ Calloway would have to wear a Pats cheerleading costume… and if the Giants won Maria Menounos had to wear a Giants bikini. In Time Square. I could care less who won the game over the weekend, but I’m kindof glad the Giants won now…

With a Facebook following that exceeds 30 million, Lionel Messi took matters into his own hands to say thank for all of his loyal fans. The video is short and to the point, but it’s a nice touch from Leo to do something like this. He should probably do more of this, but that’s another conversation for another day.
And let’s think about that 30 million followers number. That is ridiculous. I’m not sure who has the most Facebook followers. Bieber? Gaga? But Leo has to be up there. These numbers definitely show how much global interest there is Lionel Messi.
