Osaka: Ostapenko’s Townsend comments ‘one of worst things you can say to black player’
Naomi Osaka hit out at Jelena Ostapenko over her courtside confrontation with opponent Taylor Townsend.The incident at the US Open on Wednesday has been one of the most talked-about of the tournament, with Ostapenko accusing American Townsend of having "no education" and "no class" following their second-round match.

College football winners, losers: Nebraska survives as Big Ten ekes out four ugly Thursday victories
Week 1 of the college football season kicked off Thursday, and it delivered plenty of drama, highlights and insights, capped by a thrilling finish in Nebraska's 20-17 win over Cincinnati (in front of power couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, nonetheless). It was just part of an ugly but unbeaten night for the Big Ten, which had four teams in action.Rutgers topped Ohio 34-31, Minnesota beat Buffalo 23-10 and Wisconsin edged Miami (Ohio) 17-0. But the headliner was Nebraska, which is expected to take a step toward national relevance in coach Matt Rhule's third season following the program's first bowl bid since 2016.That step forward nearly became a big step back as Cincinnati launched a potential game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, Huskers defensive back Malcolm Hartzog Jr. intercepted Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby with 39 seconds remaining to preserve the […]
