Wu, who was elected the city’s first female and first Asian American mayor last month, told Boston Public Radio this week of the “constant calls associating me with the same hateful, racist, xenophobic language that the former president used in describing the virus and its origins and who was to blame.” Donald Trump’s rhetoric, which included referring to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus” and other similar terms, has been linked to a rise in anti-Asian attacks during the pandemic....

WCVB, the ABC affiliate in Beantown, chose a 2011 photo of a Patriots-Jaguars preseason game that showed the late Aaron Hernandez diving for a loose ball. The tweet stayed on the station’s site about 45 minutes before being deleted. Hernandez was convicted in April 2015 of murdering Odin Lloyd in 2013 and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He was acquitted last April of murder in the 2012 deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Massachusetts....

Leicester spark to life without Ranieri A lacklustre display from the Reds, coupled with a spirited performance from the hosts, made for an exciting game of football, with the Foxes giving themselves some breathing space in the relegation battle. And despite Liverpool being hugely disappointing in the clash, ex-Anfield icon Carragher believes that Leicester’s spirited performance in the wake of Claudio Ranieri’s sacking means that both sides should be taking a long look at themselves in the mirror....

“Be ready for the fastball,” Fielder told a small group of reporters after the game. “Everything else you gotta adjust to. You know me. I’m not a sit-on-pitches type guy.

Wilson was back from a seven-week layoff and opened the scoring in the 20th minute by chesting the ball into the net. Ryan Fraser doubled the lead in the 67th. The loss nudged Huddersfield ever closer to relegation after a 15th loss in its last 17 league games left it 16 points from safety with just eight matches to play. Wilson has six goals in seven appearances against Huddersfield and 11 in the league this season after he met a cross from Fraser at the far post and chested it home....

Pacquiao is coming off two losses and has not fought since his devastating knockout defeat at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez almost a year ago.

"Everybody's end comes someday and it could be this fight," Garcia said. "He does have a lot to lose in this fight, and that's pressure not only for him but his trainer and everybody in his camp....

Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing went on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss a variety of topics. One that came up was the upcoming WBC Heavyweight Championship bout between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Fury said: As per WBC rules, a champion should defend a title in mandatory or voluntary defenses at least three times a year, unless a written exception or extension is granted by the WBC....

a merrily libidinous comedy, has sex on the brain. The only time the jock hedonist Stuart ever cracks a book (Dostoevsky no less) -it’s just a ploy to seduce Alex- and it backfires. But to criticize “Threesome” for its narrow focus on college life misses the point. This isn’t an angst-filled recollection but a guiltfree fantasy. Thirty-one-year-old writer/ director Andrew Fleming, working in swift, bold, audience-friendly strokes, captures the giddy anticipation of sexual possibilities that every undergraduate, first freed from the constraints of family, ever dreamed of....

The Facepuncher is a legendary shotgun created by the Hyperion company. This shotgun has a special effect, “Make your own jackhammer,” which causes the weapon to deal melee damage and increases the power of melees. As a result, anything normally immune to melee attacks such as vehicles will take no damage from the Facepuncher, and since melee hits can’t crit, neither can the shots. Additionally, the shotgun’s damage, compared to the best and worst competition, is based on the character’s melee power and divided equally between all shots scattered....
