Christopher Samba: Ex-Blackburn captain racially abused in Russia By Rafael Saakov BBC Russian Service Christopher Samba asked not to go out for the second half of Monday's Moscow derby between Dynamo and Torpedo due to the racist abuse he was receiving. A Russian Football Union (RFU) representative confirmed racist chants had been directed at the former Blackburn and QPR defender. "I can confirm Samba felt offended with Torpedo fans and didn't want to go on the pitch for the second half," Dynamo vice-president Gennady Soloviev said. "That's why he was replaced." Dynamo won the game 3-1 and manager Stanislav Cherchesov said afterwards that Samba had been substituted because of a calf injury. The defender spent six years at Blackburn, making 185 appearances between 2006 and 2012. The Congo international left for Anzhi Makhachkala but returned to England in January 2013 to play 10 games in a loan spell with QPR. Read

He responded by swearing repeatedly at the reporter, even going as far as calling him a “piece of sh**.” When the reporter, Nathan Downer, commented they were on live television, Tyson replied “I don’t care. What are you going to do about it?” Downer tried to get the interview back on track, asking about Tyson’s one-man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, which he is in Toronto to perform. Tyson didn’t seem interested in answering and brushed it off by saying it “speaks for itself” before

A video Rice was sacked by his team and suspended by the NFL for punching his partner so why is Mayweather, a repeat batterer of women, earning $50m for a fight on Saturday night?

Photograph: Steve Marcus/Reuters by  Alex McClintock The NFL player Ray Rice’s savage assault on his partner Janay Palmer in February is now national news. Rightly, there is outrage at Rice, who has been let go by his team, the Baltimore Ravens, and suspended indefinitely by the league. A “national conversation” about domestic violence has been opened, according to some. But really, the conversation is about  the surveillance video of Rice knocking Palmer out . That video is awful and confronting, but it’s not surprising. The details of the case were already known. As Amy Davidson puts it over at the  New Yorker

(Credit: Rob Carr/Getty Images) Janay Rice, wife of suspended NFL player Ray Rice, apparently posted a statement Tuesday on Instagram calling the situation a “nightmare.” “To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic),” she wrote. The Baltimore Ravens released Ray Rice on Monday after a  video surfaced  showing him knocking her out with a punch in February. The Instagram post, reported by various media, appeared to be authentic.  Rice was originally suspended for two  games , a punishment that many saw as too lenient. Rice was just weeks away from returning to the
