BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — One week after the president of the Spanish soccer federation kissed a player during the Women’s World Cup awards ceremony, his reputation is in tatters and he’s out of his job.Luis Rubiales, whose leadership of Spanish soccer had already been marked by successes tinged with scandal, wrecked his career by offending millions worldwide with his conduct at the final in Sydney, Australia, when he also grabbed his crotch in a victory gesture.“Rubiales cannot run Spanish soccer again,” Spanish minister María Jesús Montero said Sunday, a day after he was provisionally suspended by FIFA for 90 days.“We had enough of him when he marred the great triumph of women’s soccer with his intolerable attitude.”FIFA moved against Rubiales after he refused to step down and defiantly told an emergency assembly of his federation on Friday that he was the victim of a “witch hunt” by “false feminists.”On a day that will go down as one of the ugliest in Spanish soccer, Rubiales...

Watch Video: School bus driver fosters bond with hundreds of studentsZelienople, Pennsylvania — On the outside, it may look like a normal family reunion. But Reid Moon of Zelienople, Pennsylvania, is no ordinary patriarch. And this is no ordinary family.Moon says he has about 200 kids. But no, they’re not his biological children.“No, they’re not biologically my kids, but emotionally they surely are,” Moon told CBS News.That is how attached he became and still is to the students who rode his school bus, a job he held for 27 years before he retired.However, it wasn’t exactly his first choice of employment. He said he “sort of fell into the job.”Not sort of, he did fall into the job. In 1990, he fell off a roof while working as a handyman. After that, he wanted a job closer to the ground.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:22 GMT

New York (CNN) — If you haven’t seen some of the summer’s hottest blockbusters, there’s no time like the present.Sunday is the second annual National Cinema Day. At more than 3,000 participating theaters across the country the price of a movie ticket is just $4. The last time the average movie ticket was priced this low was in 1989, according to survey data from the National Association of Theatre Owners. Last year, the average ticket price was $10.53.Theaters have been working to regain their footing post-pandemic. Summer hits like “Barbie” have helped buoy sales numbers, with AMC seeing its highest quarterly attendance since 2019. But movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc is still millions in debt and the ongoing strike by Hollywood actors and writers has caused film production to screech to a halt. National Cinema Day could give the theater business a boost.Last year’s Cinema Day, when tickets were only $3, drew 8 million participants and raked in $23.8 million at th...

Do you have ‘gymtimidation’? Here’s how to fix it

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:22 GMT

(CNN) — It happens to every gymgoer at some point. You’re getting ready to head to the gym or begin using a piece of equipment, and suddenly you feel stressed and anxious. Maybe it’s because of what you’re wearing, a lack of fitness or uncertainty about how a group class will operate. These negative feelings — dubbed “gymtimidation” — are real, and they can prevent you from achieving your fitness goals. That’s a real problem, experts say.There is a wealth of evidence that being physically fit is key to preventing chronic illness and death. Staying active also helps you sleep better, reach or maintain a healthy weight, and control your blood pressure. In addition, exercise is a powerful force in combating stress, anxiety and depression — a real irony when it comes to the issue of gymtimidation.“Gym anxiety affects people who are young, old, male and female,” said Brookelyn Suddell, director of group fitness strategy and development for Crunch Fitness in New York City. “It affects peo...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The pastor of a church near the site of the racist fatal shooting of three Black people told congregants Sunday to follow Jesus Christ’s example and keep their sadness from turning to rage.

Al Sharpton’s 60th anniversary commemoration of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic “I Have A Dream” speech.
