Rob Baxter de Exeter pide scrums "genuinos" para hacer que el rugby sea más emocionante

director de rugby de Exeter, Rob Baxter, cree que el deporte debería centrarse en crear una “competición genuina de empuje” en los scrums para hacer el juego más emocionante para los espectadores, al mismo tiempo que aumenta potencialmente las perspectivas de Inglaterra en las Copas Mundiales de Rugby. El ex segunda fila de los Chiefs, que ganó dos títulos de la Premiership y una Copa de Campeones mientras estaba a cargo del club, sostiene que hacer hincapié en una competencia de scrum físico –que algunos no consideran tradicionalmente como el elemento más atractivo del juego– significará crear espacio para que los backs anoten intentos. "No podemos darnos la vuelta y quejarnos de las jugadas a balón parado en los Mundiales si no tenemos equipos en la Premiership que intentan llegar al concurso de scrum", dijo Baxter el jueves antes de la visita de los Chiefs a Newcastle el domingo. “En el pasado era demasiado fácil no tener un concurso de scrum. Debería inmovilizar a 16 muchachos [ambos grupos de delanteros] y convertirlo en una verdadera competencia de empuje, lo cual es un elemento fatigante para los grandes delanteros. Se supone que debe atar a 16 muchachos y cansarlos, para que los demás puedan correr y anotar intentos. Para eso sirve, y hemos perdido por completo ese elemento del juego”. El scrum ha sido un obstáculo para Inglaterra en los últimos Mundiales, cuando fue derrotada por Sudáfrica en 2019 y nuevamente este año. Hace cuatro años en Japón, el “Bomb Squad” de los Springboks fue dominante en todo momento, mientras que en la semifinal del mes pasado en París, el scrum de Inglaterra se desmoronó en el último cuarto. Baxter, cuyo equipo ocupa el tercer lugar en la Premiership con cuatro victorias de seis, dice que los árbitros deben tener en cuenta a los equipos que intentan "ganar recompensas por intentar no hacer scrum" y ha advertido contra nuevos cambios en la ley. "Puede terminar en tres segundos porque alguien se lanza al suelo... o alguien pide un compromiso temprano, o alguien intenta algo inteligente, y simplemente desaparece", dijo Baxter sobre la actual pelea en la Premiership. “Y 16 muchachos están simplemente 'en el juego'. Sin elemento de fatiga. “Nosotros [Exeter] hemos comenzado desde la parte más básica. Vayamos primero a un concurso de scrum y eso abrirá todo lo demás. Creo que si realmente volvemos a intentar que eso suceda en todo el juego – y eso es la televisión, el arbitraje, el entrenamiento… creo que veremos que el scrum se convierte en un elemento muy, muy importante del juego”. Cuando se le preguntó qué ley actual cambiaría, Baxter dijo: "Voy a introducir una nueva ley: no vamos a cambiar las leyes del rugby durante 10 años... todo lo que seguimos haciendo es hablar de cambiar las leyes y es volviéndome loco." https://gamma.app/public/-EP2-FULLHD-5g99227zt49cq2f https://gamma.app/public/-EP3-FULLHD-ijvn158izm3nxmw https://gamma.app/public/-EP2-FULLHD-ux0ci3ivgayr26h https://gamma.app/public/-EP3-FULLHD-hbx4k3zk9nfgx28 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep2-fullhd-9afdbec5-5167-4ba2-91b8-26ca4a569a05 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep3-fullhd-21ae335a-dc20-4a46-bbae-0185528a2bf3 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep2-fullhd-uncut-516bf56b-8d7e-42d2-a310-53f8b2fd2913 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep3-fullhd-09affbbc-ebfd-4928-9f7e-388029e429b1 https://www.zola.com/wedding/thaibaan-in-love-the-series-ep2 https://www.zola.com/wedding/last-twilight-ep3

Tyler, The Creator calls for an end to Friday release dates for new music.

Tyler, The Creator calls for an end to Friday release dates for new music. The 32-year-old rapper has hit out at the idea of 'New Music Friday', and instead suggested artists "should put music out again on Tuesdays instead". Speaking to journalist Narduwar, he said: "I know people think because of the weekend they can listen and stuff, and streams go up. “I think it’s a lot of passive listening at parties, or [when] people get the time to go to the gym, so they’re not really listening.” New music has been released globally on Fridays since 2015, with the date previously being Tuesdays in the United States. For the UK, singles dropped on Sundays with albums coming out the following day, while Europe saw albums release on Fridays. One reason for the change was to have a global date to limit the opportunity for potential pirating. However, Tyler insisted Tuesdays would be a better opportunity for listeners to really embrace the music on their commute. He added: "You really have that hour or thirty minutes to really ‘dive in’ and really listen because you know once that’s over you’ve got to get to work.” Meanwhile, the rapper also hit out at the idea of music being released at midnight, with people either sleeping or heading to bed. He argued: "To work on an album for so long, and put so much energy into it, for it to be released at midnight just seems so disrespectful." Tyler thinks artists need to focus on their art too when it comes to promotional work, rather than gimmick videos. He explained: "Talk about your album. Talk about music. "Talk about the 15 songs that you guys have spent time to get mixed and mastered and put your heart into and produced and did all these things. “And then when the album comes out and it sells two copies, everyone’s confused. But it’s like, they don’t want to talk about the music or the album; they’d rather go eat chicken wings and sneaker shopping.” https://gamma.app/public/-EP2-FULLHD-5g99227zt49cq2f https://gamma.app/public/-EP3-FULLHD-ijvn158izm3nxmw https://gamma.app/public/-EP2-FULLHD-ux0ci3ivgayr26h https://gamma.app/public/-EP3-FULLHD-hbx4k3zk9nfgx28 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep2-fullhd-9afdbec5-5167-4ba2-91b8-26ca4a569a05 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep3-fullhd-21ae335a-dc20-4a46-bbae-0185528a2bf3 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep2-fullhd-uncut-516bf56b-8d7e-42d2-a310-53f8b2fd2913 https://simplified.com/docs/p/ep3-fullhd-09affbbc-ebfd-4928-9f7e-388029e429b1 https://www.zola.com/wedding/thaibaan-in-love-the-series-ep2 https://www.zola.com/wedding/last-twilight-ep3

Kanye West settles lawsuit with former Yeezy employee

Kanye West settles lawsuit with former Yeezy employee Kanye West has settled a lawsuit with a disgruntled ex-employee. According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, the Stronger rapper has negotiated a settlement with former Yeezy employee, Taliah Leslie, following a lengthy court dispute. The details of the settlement have not been publicly disclosed. In 2021, Leslie accused West and executives at his fashion brand for allegedly violating labour laws in California related to employee classification and benefits. She claimed that brand bosses misclassified its employees as independent contractors, thereby depriving them of wages and benefits. According to the outlet, the employee accused the 46-year-old at the time of not paying for compulsory trips to and from locations such as Wyoming and France. She also claimed he failed to reimburse her phone and Internet bills and other travel expenses despite them being needed to carry out her job. Yeezy is the name of West's clothing and footwear business. He launched his Yeezy footwear line with Nike in 2006 before taking it to Adidas in 2013. In October 2022, Adidas severed ties with West and called off their Yeezy fashion partnership after he made antisemitic comments on social media and in interviews. Executives at the sports giant are still in the process of selling off its remaining Yeezy stock. https://fueler.io/vipep14/ep14-ep14-fullhd https://copyfol.io/v/c8mtt8tj https://copyfol.io/v/mb6rjwhq https://copyfol.io/v/jjwpqf8g https://uxfol.io/216ba07b https://gamma.app/public/-EP14-FULLHD-7k5an5g8n1ycm7t https://gamma.app/public/-VIP-EP14-FULLHD-no4rbyiza7s968c https://gamma.app/public/-EP2-Play-Boyy-The-Series-FULLHD--10h29hlnyxn878t https://www.krop.com/vipep14thaiseries/ https://bio.site/playboyytheseriesep2 https://bio.site/vipep14thaidrama https://contra.com/0z1sr8rhs6_9nyljyin https://contra.com/p/rPrmOeqQ-uncut-ep-2-full-hd https://contra.com/x2nic48b0u_4as0gwjm https://contra.com/p/NMvRok7o-ep5-full-hd https://v-i-p-ep14-thaidrama.unicornplatform.page/
