A little loose e-mail, even when it’s sent with the lightest of intentions, can be a dangerous thing. Most people worry about having their messages secretly monitored by a boss–and they should, since the courts have declared that employers are entitled to any e-mail that passes through the office. But the real threat to keeping terminal-to-terminal chatter private is not a snoopy supervisor (or even an office jokemeister) but human error....
The Belgium international has repeatedly tweeted the game’s creators to complain that his overall score is not high enough, pointing torwards his goalscoring prowess in the Premier League and in the Champions League to show why he should have a better rating. After helping the Blues to a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in midweek with a late strike, Batshuayi sent another message to EA Sports as a gentle reminder, but their follow-up response proved hugely popular with FIFA fans as they teased the 23-year-old once again....

Florida’s already GOP-leaning map is getting an extra push to the right from DeSantis after he vetoed the GOP-controlled legislature’s proposed congressional districts on March 29. DeSantis’ proposed maps would increase the number of Republican seats while slashing the two Democratic districts represented in north and central Florida. “I think that what they’ll produce will be something that will be acceptable to folks and obviously we’d get my signature for proposing it,’’ DeSantis said at a bill-signing press conference, according to Miami Herald....
Pogba came into the World Cup after a difficult season which has been mired by consistency problems at United, with Jose Mourinho even opting to drop him on more than one occasion. On top of that, Pogba was booed off the pitch when substituted in France’s pre-World Cup friendly win over Italy. One of the main issues with Pogba for both club and country is that his coaches have been accused of not knowing where his best position is....

Even if it’s done without the team’s hands getting dirty at all, some around the NFL have noted, spreading negative information about a player serves a valid purpose: disguising or distracting from the main reason a team is getting rid of a player. Jackson, now with Washington, wasn’t even the only player to endure this last season, or the only wide receiver. MORE: Quarterbacks teams should move on from | NFL’s 10 worst trades ever As soon as Percy Harvin was traded by the then-defending champion Seahawks to the Jets last October, reports started surfacing of fights with teammates, conflicts with Russell Wilson (centered around whether the quarterback was “black enough” ) and overall “anger management issues....
The Houston Texans quarterback, who has denied all allegations, now faces 16 lawsuits, all of which were filed in just over a week.

Known for gray suits and colorless language, Fukuda was chosen as a bland presence who would restore calm after Abe’s flameout. The danger, however, is that Fukuda, too, will fail to address urgent voter concerns about rising income inequality, troubled pensions and economic uncertainty, opening the door to the opposition Democratic Party of Japan in the upcoming general election. Many pundits are now wondering aloud if, after 50 years of almost continuous LDP rule, “regime change” is imminent, meaning a shift to a true two- or even three-party system, with a new party formed by young reformists....

With just over seven minutes remaining in the third quarter of that contest, All-Star guard Devin Booker got hit with back-to-back technical fouls, forcing him to take an early walk to the locker room.
