LeBron James Gets Fans Ejected From Arena During Pacers-Lakers Game
LeBron James had two fans ejected from their courtside seats at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena during the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers game on November 24. As the teams went into overtime during Wednesday’s game, the Lakers star pointed out the two people to officials who then asked the fans who leave the arena. James did not explicitly reveal the reason behind their ejection, but he did share during the post-game conference that “obscene gestures and language” should not “be tolerated.” He added, “There’s a difference from cheering for your team and not wanting the other team to win and things I would never say to a fan and they shouldn’t say to me.” The NBA player recently returned from a one-game suspension after a bloody brawl against Detroit Piston’s Isaiah Stewart. It marke...

Tottenham suffer Mura humiliation
Antonio Conte could only watch in horror as Tottenham suffered a shock 2-1 loss to little known Mura. When Tottenham players arrived in Slovenia, they might have been forgiven for being slightly relaxed about their upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Mura. Mura is a team based in a small town in Slovenia and has a population of 11,000. The club wasn’t even in existence ten years ago. They entered the competition as lowest ranked team in the tournament so they were expected to be considered the proverbial whipping boys. However, little did Tottenham know that they would be in for a fight of their lives as the players entered the Fazanerija stadium whose seating arrangement would be easily swallowed by the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Antonio Conte’s men were reduced to ten men...
