Rabet, 20, lost to reigning Commonwealth Games champion Georgios Balarjishvili from Cyprus in his opening bout in the under 66kg class.Balarjishvili, who is ranked 38th in the world and has competed at four World Championships, took just 41 seconds to beat the islander.He threw Rabet for a first waza-ari after 15 seconds before getting a second moments later.Rabet was the first judoka to represent Jersey since Chay Pike in 1990.The Scot - who qualified via his Jersey-born grandfather - competed at the under 66kg class at the Junior European Cup in Lithuania in April and is ranked fourth in the British under-20 rankings."The experience was unreal," he told BBC Jersey."Just being in a home Games, still being from Scotland, it's unbelievable."I had the crowd fully cheering my name, everyone backing me, it was amazing."Being at home, representing my granddad, it's just everything for me.

Tari Eason signed a 5-year, $81 million contract with the Houston Rockets earlier this month. While its less than what the NBA star may have expected initially, its still a secure payday.However, the situation is not always as good as it looks from the outside. According to reports that are now coming out, Eason had trouble brewing behind the scenes.It seems that Eason has been dealing with some serious harassment from his ex, the details of which are coming to light following his own application for a restraining order.Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty ImagesTari Easons ex allegedly punched him and destroyed $92K worth of damage to his propertyEason has applied for a restraining order against Marilyn Maritza Melo Rodriguez, a 32-year-old woman the NBA star has described as someone he used to date.Tari claims one of Marilyns friends called him to tell me that she would break both of my legs and kill me,' TMZ revealed in their report.He says a discussion turned violent when Marilyn allegedly repeatedly struck me in the face with a closed fist.He says after he left her, Marilyn went back to his Airbnb where he alleges she took all my clothes and poured liquid bleach on them, ruining them.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMFIFA insists it will proceed with private investor plan proposal despite UEFA boycott threat"Nobody is selling football," FIFA said in a statement hitting back at widespread criticism over a plan to allow private investors to acquire stakes in upcoming World Cup tournaments."This is not something FIFA would ever entertain." In a statement, FIFA said all of its member associations should have a chance to consider the plan, calling for an "open and democratic" consultation.But it appeared to back off from establishing a public equity entity, the so-called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), if all member countries do not agree. It was not immediately clear, however, how the process would proceed in substance.The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) had threatened to boycott the World Cup over Infantino's plan on Thursday afternoon. Soon after, the football federations of CONCACAF (North and Central America) and AFC (Asia), also voiced their unanimous opposition to the plan.UEFA and CONCACAF comprise of 55 and 41 member associations respectively, with AFC adding 47 member associations, making up a total of 143 associations. The total number of member associations under FIFA is 211, and the plan would need to be approved by a simple majority (106) in order to pass.'We will proceed with the consultation process'"Our planned consultation process was disrupted by incorrect media reports. We will proceed with this consultation process to ensure that each (member association) has the ability to express its vote based on facts."FIFA has said the plan it announced on Tuesday could raise up to $4.2 billion based on a valuation of $20 billion for the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), the commercial subsidiary it proposed to run events such as the World Cup.If approved, the project could provide each of FIFA's 211 member associations with a one-off payment of $20 million in early 2027 and increase their funding allocation for the 2027-2030 cycle from $8.0 million to $20 million.Private investors would be allowed under the proposal to acquire stakes in the company but would remain minority shareholders. The original plan involves selling stakes of up to 20% to external investors, including Joshua Kushner, whose brother Jared is US President Donald Trumps son-in-law.But FIFA said that without the support of FIFA's 211 member associations, FIFAs commercial activities would remain unchanged. FFE would not be established.'The World Cup is not for sale'UEFA said in its statement that none of its national teams would participate in any FIFA competition "for so long as these proposals remain alive"."The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product... No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale," it said.FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Wednesday had described the initiative as a "golden opportunity to turbocharge the development of the game globally". President Gianni Infantino, right, talks to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin during the FIFA 75th Congress at the Conmebol Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay. - The Associated Press. All rights reserved However, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, who boycotted the World Cup final earlier this month to show his displeasure with FIFA which pre-dates this latest incident, said there was no place in world football for such a model."Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return," he said.Several leading European federations and European Union officials also criticised the proposal as another step in the commercialisation of sport, while also raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.The EU praised UEFA on Thursday for "defending the integrity of the game"."Proud to see Europe's football associations leading on governance, standing firm on their principles," European commissioner for sports Glenn Micallef said in a social media post.'Game over, Gianni #InfantinOUT'UEFA said in its statement on Thursday that the World Cup was "one of football's greatest sporting legacies" and described the proposal as "a failure of leadership" and "governance by intimidation".Infantinos high-stakes financial gambit now could threaten his previously secure 11-year presidency of FIFA as anger and frustration with him rise among soccer stakeholders, including three of the six continental bodies.In another blow to Infantino, one of his senior advisers, Carlos Cordeiro, announced his resignation with an excoriating statement."As a senior advisor to the FIFA president, a former banker, and a lifelong football fan, I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup," wrote the former head of the US Soccer Federation."Let me be clear: I had no involvement in this proposal, and I oppose it unequivocally," he added."It is a bad deal for FIFA's member associations, a bad deal for football, and a bad deal for the long-term future of the game." Head of FIFA Gianni Infantino presses through with private investing plan despite widespread criticism. - The Associated Press. All rights reserved FIFA has set a 18 November deadline for potential candidates to declare in a presidential vote of the 211 members scheduled next March in Rabat, Morocco.Infantino had seemed 11 days ago after the World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey to have a clear path to being re-elected unopposed for a fourth and final term in office through 2031, despite a furore over letting United States forward Folarin Balogun play against Belgium despite a red card in his previous game."Game over, Gianni #InfantinOUT," the Football Supporters Europe group, which advises UEFA on fan issues such as ticket prices, posted after the boycott threat.The next scheduled FIFA tournament is within weeks in Europe the Womens Under-20 World Cup hosted by Poland from September 5 and the four British federations comprise FIFAs only bidder to host the 2035 Womens World Cup. That decision is due 23 November.0 Comments 0 Shares 95 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMNotre Dame football position preview: Irish stacked again at linebackerSOUTH BEND Brian Jean-Mary minces no words when it comes to what he wants to see out of his Notre Dame football linebackers.That includes fourth-year man Jaiden Ausberry, who trailed only team captain Drayk Bowen with 437 total defensive snaps among Irish linebackers in 2025, but whose 17.2% missed-tackle rate led the group.He knows as much as we do the things that he has to get better at, Jean-Mary said of Ausberry during the spring. Hes got all the experience and is super, super talented. You know the athleticism is there. With him, its just taking his game to the next level as a blitzer and making more plays on the ball in coverage.With Bowen and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa held out during the spring as they recovered from hip and ACL surgeries, respectively, Ausberry and fifth-year man Jaylen Sneed enjoyed the lions share of snaps as they built a working relationship with the well-traveled Jean-Mary.Hes kind of taken the mantle as the vocal leader in the room playing predominantly at the middle linebacker spot, which is new for him, Jean-Mary said of Ausberry. But I think hes embraced it and loved the challenge. He knows thats just going to make him better once the fall comes around and were a little bit healthier.As of mid-July, the public expectation from coach Marcus Freeman regarding KVA was an ahead-of-schedule timeline for his return from last years Senior Day setback against Syracuse.Ian Book: How former Notre Dame QB is writing his next life chapterMadden Faraimo (wrist surgery) returned late in the spring and should serve again as the primary backup to Bowen, with Teddy Rezac and the Kia brothers, Kahanu and Koo, offering rotational depth and special teams value. Midyear enrollees Thomas Davis Jr. and JaKobe Clapper will have the luxury of learning while waiting, but special teams is always an option, especially with the end of redshirt calculations in the age-based eligibility era.Mike Berardino covers Notre Dame football for the South Bend Tribune and NDInsider.com.
