Jun 27, 2026; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) in the second half against the Los Angeles Sparks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn ImagesA Washington State teenager has become the center of a national controversy after claiming the confrontation that led to a WNBA suspension left her in tears.Ahnaleigh Wilson, a 16-year-old junior, came out to thank Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham for her recent public comments about supporting the exclusion of transgender athletes from womens sports. Holding up a sign that was seemingly inspected and approved by security beforehand somehow riled up Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton, who approached the teen and made a profanity-laced remark calling her insane.Although this led to Keatons suspension, the punishment doesnt seem severe enough, as the teen outlines while narrating the incident.Sophie Cunninghams Fan Breaks Down Remembering The IncidentSpeaking to Fox News Digital in her first extended interview since the incident, Wilson said she has been subject to online hate in the past but has never been cussed out to this extent in person.Narrating the incident, she revealed how the Storms co-owner came to talk to the people sitting next to her at first, which she thought would be a friendly interaction, because Keaton seemed like a nice person, but it didnt go as imagined.Wilson said, Me and my friend were just like, What just happened? We were kinda stunned. I was like, I am not going to cry, but I feel like I kinda cried, I dont know, when I feel overwhelmed or anything, honestly. So I started crying a little and was kinda embarrassed because I really didnt want to, but my friend was like, Hey its okay, were gonna be fine, so I mean it was just a lot.The Seattle Storm seemed to take this matter seriously, and the WNBA also banned Keaton for five home games and tacked on an undisclosed fine to the punishment, but the Wilson family is not happy with a generic statement.Wilsons mother stated, They owe these girls an apology; she needs to be held accountable. I mean, we teach our kids that every choice has a consequence, good or bad, and you have to own up to your mistakes. So we think she needs to take responsibility for how she treated these girls.READ MORE: There Is a Frustration: Fever HC Stephanie White Gets Brutally Honest As Sophie Cunningham Anti-Trans Athlete Controversy IntensifiesSeveral womens sports advocacy groups have raised their voice in the matter and sent a letter to the WNBA, the Storm, and the arena management to review Keatons actions and whether the punishment is proportionate, demanding that she personally deliver an apology to the girls.Until that happens, the family maintains that a statement addressed to the public isnt an apology and the two teens who faced the brunt of Celeste Keatons wrath deserve one.This article originally appeared on Pro Football Network.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 31: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers rounds the bases on a double during the fourth inning against the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium on July 31, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThe Dodgers (69-41) dropped the series opener 9-4 to the Red Sox (58-51) Friday night at Dodger Stadium.Failed scoring opportunities and shoddy defensive and base running doomed the Dodgers in this one. Bostons explosive offense surged past the Dodgers 9-4. The Dodgers utilized Edgardo Henriquez as an opener for a designated bullpen game, and Dave Roberts leaned on Cole Irvin to eat the majority of the innings and make over 100 pitches in his first MLB appearance since 2024. Nine of the first 20 batters reached base safely for Boston. The Red Sox lineup aggressively put pressure on the Dodgers bullpen from the start of the game and series.Boston got on the board first in the top of the second inning against Will Klein. Boston cashed in a walk to Caleb Durbin and throwing error on Klein on a pickoff attempt that went awry. Jarren Duran drove in Durbin with the big RBI single to put the Red Sox ahead first.Klein got further into trouble in the third when he loaded the bases with one out. Nick Sogardand Ceddanne Rafaela hit consecutive singles, and then Klein beaned Willson Contreras in the side of the helmet. Contreras did come out of the game, but stayed in under his own accord at first. Irvin was thrown into the fire for his Dodger debut and first MLB appearance since Sept. 2024 with the Minnesota Twins. Another defensive blunder, this time on Freddie Freeman at first base, allowed two runs to come in on a Masataka Yoshida chopper. Shohei Ohtani led off the bottom of the fourth against Surez with a double, the first base hit of the game for the Dodgers. Freeman drove in Ohtani with two outs to make it 3-1 to make up for his error. The Dodgers got the tying run aboard in the sixth after Surez gave up a leadoff walk to Tucker and Kik Hernndezsingle. Eliezer Alfonzo reached for a breaking ball and dumped it into center field to bring in the second run of the night for the Dodgers. Kik Hernndezwas thrown out at second base on the play after too aggressive of a turn. That proved to be costly, erasing the man at second base with Ohtani up to bat. The Dodgers offense went 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base. Jovani Morn came out of the Boston bullpen to face Ohtani and served up a rocket of a 112-mph two-run home run. The Dodgers took a 4-3 lead. SHOHEI OHTANI FOR THE LEAD pic.twitter.com/dRPAnblSyx MLB (@MLB) August 1, 2026The Dodgers opened the sixth with back-to-back hits from Freeman and Mookie Betts. An intentional walk to pinch-hitter Max Muncy loaded the bases with two outs for Alfonzo. With Ohtani lurking on deck, Alfonzo grounded out to leave the bases loaded.The Red Sox took back the lead in the seventh when Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run home run off Irvin. Andruw Monasterio doubled in another two runs to give the Red Sox a commanding lead. Boston scored their fifth run of the inning on a scoring Duran ground ball to make it 8-4. Monasterio also made a couple of outstanding defensive plays to save runs for the Red Sox.Freeman led off the eighth inning with his third hit of the night. Tucker managed a single as well, but the Dodgers stranded another couple of runners. The Red Sox added a ninth run in the ninth on a Carlos Narvez sac fly. Friday particularsHome runs: Shohei Ohtani (24); Ceddanne Rafaela (12)WP Brayan Bello (3-6): 4 IP, 3 hits, 1 run, no walks, 3 strikeouts (58 pitches)LP Cole Irvin (0-1): 6 IP, 8 hits, 6 runs, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts (102 pitches)Up nextYoshinobu Yamamoto ( 10-6, 2.78 ERA, 0.88 WHIP) makes his first career start against the Red Sox Saturday (6:10 p.m., SportsNet LA).

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 31: Wilyer Abreu #52, Jarren Duran #16 and Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox celebrate after the final out of the ninth inning after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on July 31, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThe trade deadline is Monday. Tonight was about winning a baseball game in Los Angeles against the best lineup in the National League. Mission accomplished.Ranger Suarez was decent enough. He went 4.2 innings, got into a jam, and left, not completely unscathed but with two down. Not a disasterthe kind of start where a pitcher does what he can and trusts the bullpen to handle the rest. Well, at least thats the hope. Oh, Jovani Morn. He came in with men on, and the Sox actually caught a break firstRafaela wisely nabbed Kik Hernndez overthinking things at second base, the Dodgers challenged, and the call stood. Very nice gift. Two down and one less base runner. Then Shohei Ohtani, the most dangerous hitter on the planet, doing what Ohtani does, scorched a two-run shot off him. The inning was spiraling, Boston on the wrong end of a 4-3 deficit in the fifth inning in Dodger Stadium with a murderers row still raring to go. The Dodgers lineup is definitely intimidating on paper.Then Brayan Bello walked out of the bullpen.Four innings. Three hits. Zero earned runs. Fifty-eight pitches. Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Kyle Tuckerthe whole parade came through and Bello held every single one of them. The saving the bullpen angle alone is a story: Weissert didnt throw a pitch. Whitlock didnt throw a pitch. Chapman didnt throw a pitch. Bello went out and protected the entire relief corps on a west coast late-night road game before the deadline. Bullpen Bello has been a revelation.Brayan Bello as SP* 8 games* 35.2 IP* 10.35 ERABrayan Bello as RP* 7 games* 39.0 IP* 0.69 ERA Foolish Baseball (@FoolishBB) August 1, 2026The seventh inning showed the Dodgers what the 2026 Red Sox have been all about.Five runs. The Sox batted around. Rafaela hit the go-ahead bomba beautiful shot into the left-field bullpen, and at this point Rafaela coming up in giant moments is just in his DNA. Yoshida followed with a silly backspinning single that hugged the third base line. Durbin dropped a perfect bunt and left Max Muncy to eat his throw. Bases loaded, Andruw Monasteriowho has quietly become an extra base hit machine in this lineupdrove in two more with a double to the left-field corner. A 4-3 deficit swiftly became an 8-4 lead and Dodger Stadium had nothing to say about it.The small ball was part of the story, but it isnt the only thread. Go back to the third inningYoshida brings home two runs on a bouncer that Freddie Freeman completely misread, caught in that in-between hop and just not having an answer for it. Boston cashed those runs immediately. This team doesnt need you to hand them something twice.Down a run in the fifth in LA, Morn just fell victim to the monster that is Shohei Ohtani, and instead of any sign of panic the Red Sox methodically put up five in the seventh and salted the rest away. They will not die. They will not quit. One more note: we hope Willson Contreras is okay after being pulled as a precaution after getting beaned by Will Klein in the third inning. That news hangs over what was otherwise a perfect night.July is over. Boston went 21-4. Best month by win percentage in Red Sox history. A franchise playing baseball since 1901. 125 years! This July was the best of all of them.StudsBrayan Bello (4.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K)The whole story. Morn gave the game away with the Ohtani shot and Bello came in and gave it right back. Four innings against the Dodgers, not a single run, and the high-leverage relievers didnt throw a pitch. Every one of those arms is fresh going into a stretch run. On a night the Sox needed someone to eat innings, a starter whod been pitching out of the bullpen stepped up and delivered exactly that. Whatever the front office decides before Monday, Bello made his case tonight.View LinkCeddanne Rafaela (3-for-5, HR, 2 RBI, 2 R)Three hits in Dodger Stadium, a go-ahead homer in the seventh that broke the Dodgers back, a baserunning play that killed a Toronto threat before it could breathe. Hes been this good on both sides of the ball all season. The Gold Glove defense was already there. The bat has ascended to match it. The most clutch player on this roster right now, and its not particularly close.The Seventh InningNot just Rafaelas homer. Yoshidas backspinning single hugging the line. Durbins perfect bunt. Monasterios double to left-center when the bases were loaded. Five runs dont just happen. Theyre built.View LinkMasataka Yoshida (2-for-5, 1 RBI, 1 R)Two hits and the Freeman third-inning gift that became Bostons early cushion. Quietly steady through this entire stretch.DudsJovani Morn (0.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER)One out. Ohtani homer. Three hits. The moment Morn came in and the game started unraveling, it genuinely felt like it was slipping away. Credit to everything that came after for making this a footnote in a blowout win rather than the reason for a loss.Carlos Narvez (0-for-3, 3 K, 1 RBI)Three strikeouts. A garbage-time sac fly in the ninth, sure, but not his night. The catcher position keeps producing these quiet offensive games and its part of why deadline chatter about adding behind the plate never fully went away.Play of the GameCome on. It has to be Ceddanne.View Link

SEATTLE (AP) Royce Lewis hit a tying home run in the seventh inning and Luke Keaschall smacked a go-ahead double as the surging Minnesota Twins beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Friday night.Minnesotas seventh victory in nine games gave the Twins (56-55) a winning record for the first time since April 21, when they were 12-11. They are tied with Cleveland for the final American League playoff spot, and both teams are three games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. The skidding Mariners (53-58) have lost three straight and eight of 10 to fall three games behind AL West-leading Houston. Yoendrys Gmez walked two in the ninth but locked down his 14th save of the season. Kody Funderburk (2-1) tossed 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief after Zebby Matthews struck out a career-high 10 in five innings of three-run ball.Lewis led off the seventh with a no-doubt drive to left field off left-hander Jos A. Ferrer (4-2) to make it 3-all. Alan Roden reached on an infield single and, one-out later, Keaschall put the Twins up for good with his RBI double off Eduard Bazardo.Ryan Jeffers added an insurance run in the eighth. He drove a sweeper from Bazardo into the Twins bullpen for his 10th home run to give Minnesota a 5-3 lead. Seattle took a 2-0 advantage in the first on a two-out, two-run double by Cal Raleigh off Matthews. A two-run homer by Brooks Lee in the second evened the score before Seattle went back in front 3-2 on a homer by Cole Young. The Mariners placed third baseman J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation and recalled infielder Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma. The Twins acquired right-hander Dean Kremer from Baltimore and veteran reliever A.J. Minter from the New York Mets in separate trades Friday.

Lesnar and Femi face off once more before their clash in Minnesota. MINNEAPOLIS, MN The WWEs Biggest Party of the Summer is now less than 24 hours away, as SummerSlam 2026 will take place Saturday and Sunday live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.SummerSlam has something to offer for every WWE fan. From the two dream matches, one of which will be the main event each night, to the matches with crazy stipulations to some longtime feuds coming to a potential end.As a way to preview the second biggest PLE of the year, I have put together a list of the five matches I am most excited for.5. Gunther vs. Nick AldisWWE has been teasing SmackDown GM Nick Aldis in-ring return for some time now after his mini-feuds with Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton, and are now finally cashing in, giving Aldis a tall task against the Ring General Gunther. I am excited for this match for one main reason. Nick Aldis has been a professional wrestler for over 20 years. He started in the UK, before moving over to TNA and NWA where he held world championships in both. He has flourished in his GM role, but seeing him back in the ring, and for many fans seeing him in the ring for the first time, will do much more for him than continuing as GM would. For one, the WWE is putting him back in the ring at SummerSlam, which tells me they trust him. Also, having him feud with Gunther, in a rivalry that has been very entertaining, especially seeing Aldis absolutely lose it and be forced to get back in the ring, gives him breathing room. Even if he loses the match, which he should and probably will because Gunther needs this win, he can certainly win the WWE Universe over by putting up a stellar and exciting performance. I cant wait to see how Aldis does.4. 5-Way Interim WWE Women's Championship Ladder Match: Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green vs. Giulia OR Lash LegendWith Rhea Ripley injured and not able to compete at Summerslam, the WWE made a great decision by making this interim title match a ladder match, as the big events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam usually feature one of them. There was some talk about Rhea just vacating the title instead of their being an interim, but I like the idea, as Rhea will have someone the WWE chooses to boost up in order to face off with her when she returns. As for the match itself, the four women already chosen have a great bit of recent history, and are sure to put on an entertaining match. As for predictions, I want to see the same person that I wanted to see win Queen of the Ring, and thats Charlotte Flair. She has a long ongoing feud with Rhea that could be revisited, and she could also take on a flurry of competitors until Ripley comes back, like a Chelsea Green, or someone newer like a Jacy Jayne. As for a pick out of left field, I wouldnt mind seeing Giulia beat Lash Legend and go on to win the Interim Womens title. She is one of the best pure wrestlers on the roster, and I know the fans would get behind her seeing her climb the ladder. Still, the format promises fun, and a feud with Rhea hangs in the balance.3. Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Chad GableThere has been a lot of talk about finishing stories in the last five years in the WWE, after Cody Rhodes finished his at WrestleMania 40. There is one story that needs to be finished at SummerSlam, and that is Chad Gables fabled redemption arc. Pentas first match in the WWE was a victory over Gable. Gable then spiraled downhill, turned on his friends in Alpha Academy, and wanted to mock the art of Lucha Libre, but ended up actually gaining respect for it while competing as El Grande Americano in AAA, and ended up in one of the greatest WWE matches of all time against the new Grande Americano. After losing, he was unmasked, revealed as Chad Gable, and returned to Raw and went on an apology tour to all the Luchadors and friends he offended. All of that to say, he has now gotten in the good graces of most of the roster and the luchadors, won a gauntlet match to guarantee his spot in this title match, and now has a rematch with Penta over a year later for the IC title. I love Penta as champ, but it is absolutely the right decision for Gable to complete his character arc, and this time defeat the Luchador for the title he has never held, in front of his home crown in Minnesota. Gable earned it with his run in AAA and how over he was able to get with the fans. Technically speaking, Gable has been one of the best for a very long time. Him going up against the high flyer in Penta, who has one of the best if not the best current title runs in the company, magic is bound to be made. Lets just hope the WWE makes the right choice on the winner.2. World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth RollinsThis one speaks for itself. These two men have been tied to each other since the beginnings of their careers when they started in the WWE as The Shield. A final huge match toward the back end of the careers always felt inevitable. While the build to this match seemed a little odd, with Seth claiming this title shot by basically just saying hey, were brothers and we have a lot of history and you have never really beaten me so its my turn, that underlying excitement is still there, and we are still going to get a classic match between these two. While I believe Roman will probably win, we do know that Triple H wants to treat SummerSlam like Mania, in the sense of having something huge happen. And what would be bigger news out of this than Seth beating Roman yet again? My only concern here is that the Bloodline will get involved. Whether they help or hurt Roman, I want this feud to be settled once and for all by Rollins and Reigns, no one else. This is a SummerSlam night two main event, so there should be very little to no shenanigans going on. If that remains the case, this will be an amazing match, potentially the best of the weekend, to no ones surprise.1. Hell in a Cell: Oba Femi vs. Brock LesnarEveryone thought this was a one match feud between Lesnar and Femi, after The Ruler squashed The Beast at WrestleMania, and Lesnar seemingly retired in front of the Las Vegas crowd. A few months later, not only did Lesnar come back with a vengeance, but he actually handed Femi his first loss on the main roster at Clash in Italy, setting up this grudge match. The WWE has built this feud beautifully, painting Oba as a monster, and the sure next face of the company, while also maintaining Lesnars beastly ways, and making Oba have to go to deeper lengths to slay the beast than just his dominant performance in their first match. In my opinion, there is a right and a wrong decision here. It is wrong for Brock to win this feud, which would kill all of Obas momentum he has built since arriving on Raw. He took a loss in which he still looked like a monster. Now, inside Hell in a Cell, hopefully after a 10+ minute match in which we see Oba and Brock both destroy each other but refuse to lose, Femi will tap into that gear that will carry him to the top of the WWE for the next 15 years, and the gear that an older Lesnar no longer has, and establish his spot at the top. The WWE already made a questionable decision having Femi ignore the title shot he earned to go after Lesnar; so having him do anything but win would spoil this story for me, and for many fans.These matches, and more, have me hyped for SummerSlam. Tune in Saturday and Sunday to see updates on this highly anticipated spectacle.

Inter ready to increase Curtis Jones offer to 30mInter Milan are prepared to raise their offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones to 30 million, although the Reds continue to value the academy graduate at a minimum of 35m.The Daily Mail reports that Inter have communicated their willingness to pay 30m through intermediaries after an earlier 21.75m bid was rejected by Liverpool. While the gap between the clubs valuations has narrowed, no agreement has yet been reached over the 25-year-olds future.Jones has entered the final year of his contract at Anfield, making his situation one to watch during the remainder of the transfer window. Despite that, Liverpool are not under immediate pressure to sell and are holding firm on their asking price.Inter ready to increase Curtis Jones offer to 30mInters long-standing admiration for Jones is no secret. Sporting director Piero Ausilio confirmed earlier this summer that the Serie A club were closely monitoring the midfielders situation.We are paying attention to him, Ausilio said. We didnt hide. We understand what the developments will be.Jones faces increased competition for places in Liverpools midfield heading into the new season under Andoni Iraola. Nevertheless, the England international remains part of the clubs first-team plans as the Reds continue preparations for the 2026-27 campaign.Liverpool are also focused on strengthening other areas of the squad, with negotiations continuing over a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. At the same time, several fringe players, including Luke Chambers, Lewis Koumas, Calum Scanlon and Ifeanyi Ndukwe, have attracted interest following their performances during the clubs pre-season tour of the United States.For Inter, Jones remains one of their preferred midfield targets as they look to strengthen ahead of the new Serie A season. Whether they are willing to meet Liverpools valuation could prove decisive, with the Premier League club currently standing firm on their 35m asking price.Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube |TikTok
