Even the author of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, on which the Georgia law is based, agrees that it’s meant to fight organized crime, not stifle dissent.The implications of the indictment for press freedom may seem like an afterthought considering everything else that is terrible about it. Its working theory is essentially that whenever some members of a protest movement commit crimes, everyone involved in the movement is responsible for the “conspiracy,” no matter how tenuous their connection to the alleged offense. It seeks to criminal...

PARIS (AP) — Five teams — even new guys Chile — will have played twice at the Rugby World Cup by the time Tonga makes its bow on Saturday.Malakai Fekitoa doesn’t mind.The New Zealand World Cup winner who jumped on the eligibility law changes to play for Tonga, his country of birth, said on Monday their late start has enlightened them on how teams have handled the opening weekend.“(Waiting has been) good for us as we can see what’s going on and have a feel how the competition is going before we get into our work,” he said.And his impression? “Mixed performances, maybe nerves. A lot of teams did not want to lose so we’ve not seen them taking risks. The next round will be different.”One of the teams that has already got its jerseys dirty is Tonga’s first opponent — Ireland. The No. 1-ranked test side posted a 14th consecutive win last Saturday when it hung Romania out to dry by 82-8.“We are playing against the best team in the world right now,” Fekitoa sai...

Falcons coach Arthur Smith brushes off dismal passing stats following opening win over Panthers

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:31:32 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Arthur Smith wanted to relish his first winning record in his three seasons as the Atlanta Falcons’ coach.In his news conference following Sunday’s 24-10 season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, Smith wasn’t interested in a question which began by noting that his quarterback, Desmond Ridder, had more catches than his No. 1 wide receiver, Drake London.On the game’s first snap, Ridder caught the deflection of his pass for a loss of 6 yards. Ridder threw for only 115 yards and London had no catches with only one target.It was not a great showing for Atlanta’s passing game, but the running game led by rookie Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier and the bolstered defense led by Jessie Bates were enough to beat the Panthers.Smith brushed off the question about Ridder and London.“Let the fantasy guys worry about that,” Smith said. “We’ve got to clean some things up. We can all be better in our spacing and the targets is the most misunderstood...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:31:32 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Tyler Reddick knows you need to have speed to win a NASCAR Cup Series championship. Denny Hamlin knows just as well that you need to have breaks go your way.Reddick had both going for him Sunday at Kansas Speedway, taking advantage of a late caution and four fresh tires to breeze by six other drivers in the final two laps for the win. It ensured that Reddick would be in the round of 12 of the playoffs for the first time, taking almost all the pressure off the No. 45 team heading to next week’s cutoff race at Bristol.“We have enough speed, we should be able to make it through this first round, and winning certainly helps,” Reddick said. “Going into the round of 12, we can pick up just a little, and then as we go we can keep amping it up.”Hamlin, on the other hand, had a bit of bad luck Sunday. Bubba Wallace and Martin Truex Jr. had a whole lot of it.Hamlin looked as if he would cruise to a record fifth Kansas win as he dominated the last 35 laps. But wh...
