  • Pedersen Wins First Ever Women's Golf Tournament in Saudi Arabia
    Established 1961 15 Sports Tuesday, November 17, 2020 Nadal cruises at ATP Finals as Thiem gets its revenge LONDON: Rafael Nadal launched his bid for a first ATP Finals trophy in style on Sunday, taming in-form Andrey Rublev in straight sets in London after Dominic Thiem beat Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Spanish world number two, chasing the biggest prize missing from his glittering resume, barely broke sweat as he outclassed the Russian debu- tant 6-3, 6-4 at the empty O2 Arena. Earlier, US Open champion Thiem avenged his defeat by Tsitsipas in the championship match last year, beating the Greek sixth seed 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 6-3. Nadal, who last month equaled Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slams by winning the French Open, has won 86 titles but just one of those has come on an indoor hard court. His record at the eight-man elite event pales in comparison with his main rivals. Federer, who is absent with injury, has won it a record six times and Novak Djokovic has triumphed five times. Nadal, 34, and Rublev both held serve comfort- ably in the early stages of their Group London 2020 round-robin match. But the Spaniard, who was comprehensively outserving his 23-year-old opponent, made his move in the sixth game, breaking the Russian, who hurled his racket to the ground in frustration, and wrapping up the set with the minimum of fuss. Rublev, who has won a tour-leading five titles during the coronavirus-interrupted 2020 season, was broken again in the first game of the second set, leaving him with a mountain to climb.

Apart from the fact that all nations claim to be unique, that Japan is not small economically or demographically, and that its dependence on imports is no greater than that of many other countries, there is some truth in this mantra. apan’s neighborhood, and the world in which its businesses and citizens operate, have always been filled with threats. This has never been truer than it is today, Jwhen shifts in Tokyo’s relations with its colossal Chinese and nuclear-armed North Korean neighbors portend modification of relations with its powerful US ally. Japan’s intelligence officers have to judge the speed, trajectory, and certainty of transformations in the balance of power, and policy makers need to decide what measures to take to protect those businesses and citizens. In the decades of study of Japan’s evolving security community, virtually no sustained attention has been paid to its once expansive—and then atrophied—intelligence community.

  • An Ethical Dilemma
    societies Concept Paper Responsible Leadership in Sport: An Ethical Dilemma Kathleen Rodenburg * , Louise Hayes, Lianne Foti and Ann Pegoraro Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada; [email protected] (L.H.); [email protected] (L.F.); [email protected] (A.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Sports, apart from providing entertainment, can provide an escape from everyday troubles, a community to belong to, and an opportunity to connect to the wider world. As such, sports have contributed to the unification of people, the development of peace and tolerance, and the empowerment of women and young people globally. However, sports’ widespread popularity has also contributed to “big money” opportunities for sports organizations, sporting venues, athletes, and sponsors that have created an environment riddled with ethical dilemmas that make headlines, resulting in protests and violence, and often leave society more divided. A current ethical dilemma faced by agents associated with the Olympic games serves to demonstrate the magnitude and challenges related to resolving ethical dilemmas in the sport industry. A decision-making framework is applied to this current sport’s ethical dilemma, as an example of how better ethical decision making might be achieved. Keywords: ethical dilemmas; sport; decision-making 1. Introduction Citation: Rodenburg, K.; Hayes, L.; The global sports market wields tremendous influence over society [1].

  • Discuss Whether International Law Satisfactorily Protects Human Rights
    1800944 Discuss whether International Law Satisfactorily Protects Human Rights Human Rights is a vast area of international law that effects all areas of life, and one such area that is affected by Human Rights, perhaps more so now than ever, is football. Many of these Human Rights abuses have been witnessed in Africa, Qatar, and Russia, albeit in very different scenarios. There are many international bodies which have worked to highlight, and improve these situations, such as; Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the United Nations (UN), Confederation of African Football (CAF), and African Unity (AU). In footballing terms, a main issue in Africa is human Trafficking, where children and adults are trafficked to Europe upon false pretences, and this essay will look how international law protects Human Rights in this area. Human trafficking in football also occurs in the higher levels of the professional game, and the differences in human trafficking will be investigated. There have also been many Human Rights Abuses in connection with Qatar, and Russia, and this essay will look at how football has led to the highlighting of these human rights issues both in connection to football and in the background and what is being done to protect human rights in these areas. Qatar and Russia, use of ‘sportwashing’ in order to gain international support for their regimes and their actions will also be investigated. In footballing terms, there are two different forms of Human Trafficking: Human Trafficking Through Football, and Human Trafficking In Football. 1 Human Trafficking Through football is the trafficking of players and minors through the false pretence of opportunities elsewhere and is the type of trafficking that is most prevalent within Africa, mostly within Western Africa States.
