Golf legend Tiger Woods was charged with Driving Under the Influence — although alcohol was apparently not involved —  after a rollover crash that took place on Friday afternoon in Florida. According to the Martin County Sheriff&#8217;s office, the crash occurred just before 2 p.m. local time on Jupiter Island, where Woods lives.
Sheriff John Budensiek stated that Woods was charged with a DUI and refusal to take a lawful test. Budensiek explained that when officials got to the scene of the crash, Woods was visibly impaired, but not by alcohol — Woods blew a .000. It appeared to authorities that the golfer was under the influence of another substance.
&#8220;They did several tests, he did explain the injuries and surgeries,&#8221; Budensiek said. &#8220;They did in an in-depth roadside test, and he was arrested and taken to Martin County jail.&#8221;
Sheriff Budensiek said that in Florida, Woods won&#8217;t be required to do further testing — so officials won&#8217;t know what caused his visible impairment — but Woods is required to stay behind bars for eight hours following a DUI arrest before he can post bond.
The Sheriff said Jupiter Island police responded to the crash scene on a two-land road on the island when they found Wood&#8217;s Range Rover on the driver&#8217;s side near a large pickup truck carrying machinery.
No one was injured in the crash. The driver of the large truck told investigators Woods was driving at a high rate of speed, thought the exact number isn&#8217;t known, the speed limit on this side beach road is 30 mph.
&#8220;This could have been a lot worse,&#8221; Budensiek said.
Sheriff Budensiek said there was no drugs or alcohol found in Woods&#8217; car, but the golfer was &#8220;lethargic&#8221; from &#8220;what he was intoxicated on.&#8221;
Woods&#8217; two charges are both misdemeanors. While the golf celebrity is in custody, officials said they will keep him away from other inmates because he is considered to be high-profile.
President Trump, who just landed in Miami shortly after the crash, talked about Woods&#8217; state after the incident.
&#8220;I feel so badly. He&#8217;s got some difficulty.&#8221; Trump told reporters on the tarmac. &#8220;There was an accident and that&#8217;s all I know &#8230; Very close friend of mine. He&#8217;s an amazing person, amazing man.&#8221;
Back in 2021, Woods was injured in a rollover crash in Rolling Hills Estates in Southern California. In that incident, authorities said he was driving at least twice the speed limit, which was 45 mph, when his Genesis GV80 SUV hit a tree, causing the car to go airborne, landing on its side.

Woods was seriously injured in that crash and had to be extracted from the vehicle. The injuries included fractures to the upper and lower fibula and tibia in his right leg. According to <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/golf/news/tiger-woods-car-accident-2021-crash/276f018b17268545ae227acc">Sporting News</a>, the pro golfer was first discovered by a neighborhood man who said Woods was unconscious. First responders said that Woods was alert when they arrived at the scene. He was taken to a hospital via ambulance after the accident.
Woods&#8217; troubles on the road began in 2017 when he was arrested in Palm Beach County for suspicion of driving under the influence. The golf champion later pleaded guilty to reckless driving, agreed to pay a fine, and attend DUI school.
This latest crash comes a day after Trump said on Fox News that Woods would not play in the 2026 Masters next month.
&#8220;I love Tiger, but he won’t be there,&#8221; Trump said on The Five. &#8220;He will be there, but he won’t be playing in it.&#8221;
Woods has been dating Trump&#8217;s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., since 2025.

The man known online by millions for the new phrase &#8220;looksmaxxing&#8221; — the practice of maximizing appearance — got to pose for a mugshot on Thursday after being arrested on a battery charge in Florida. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has long been controversial for the methods he employs to achieve his physique, but his run in with the law in Fort Lauderdale is not a good look.
The battery charge stemmed from a case out of Osceola County, Florida, just south of Orlando. Osceola deputies were able to team up with Fort Lauderdale police to locate Peters and make the arrest. The warrant was for misdemeanor battery, court documents stated. The TikTok star&#8217;s bond was set at $1,000, and he has since bonded out.

According to <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/influencer-clavicular-arrested-on-battery-charge-in-fort-lauderdale-records-show/3787112/">NBC Miami</a>, Osceola County Sheriff&#8217;s Office officials said Peters and another woman — identified as 24-year-old Violet Marie Lentz — are accused of participating in the battery of a 19-year-old girl at a rental home near Kissimmee, Florida.
The 19-year-old was allegedly battered by Lentz in the home that was rented by Peters, and detectives have asserted that it was Peters who instigated the fight and then posted the incident on social media.
In addition to this case, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking into a video circulating that appears to show Peters shooting an alligator in the Everglades.
A FWC spokesperson sent this statement to The Daily Wire:
&#8220;The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator. FWC officers are continuing to look into the incident and will provide additional information when available. To report wildlife violations, call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.&#8221;

Peters was with a group of guys on an airboat in the Everglades, where they were live-streaming. During the stream, the boat stopped by what looked like a dead alligator, and Peters and another man opened fire. The two fired multiple shots at the dead gator in the video, which was obtained by TMZ. His streaming account appears to have been taken down.
The alligator video, while being looked at by the FWC, is not related to the arrest by Fort Lauderdale Police.
Peters has created quite the online image for himself under the name &#8220;Clavicular.&#8221; The 20-year-old makes content that revolves around his physical appearance. He will sometimes showcase the extreme methods he uses to appear more attractive, which he began employing at 14 years old. In an interview with Michael Knowles in late 2025, Peters claimed that he used to &#8220;smash his face with a hammer&#8221; to help improve his bone structure. Since sharing his &#8220;looksmaxxing&#8221; lifestyle, he has built a following of hundreds of thousands on social media and has even walked runways in fashion shows.

The smell of cracker jacks fills the air and the sound of bats cracking can be heard all across the United States, because it is Opening Day for America&#8217;s Pastime. Major League Baseball is kicking off the season in patriotic fashion with a league-wide campaign to celebrate 250 years of the United States.
All season, the Major League Baseball will recognize this milestone by accumulating 250,000 collective volunteer hours in 2026 across all 30 MLB clubs and other extensions of the league as part of the &#8220;MLB Together&#8221; initiative.
MLB is a partner of America250, the official nonpartisan organization established by Congress to lead the nation’s 250th anniversary commemoration.
&#8220;MLB Together represents the very best of what our sport means to our fans and our communities,&#8221; MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. &#8220;Baseball’s ability to bring people together through common values and causes has placed the game in a unique stature within our culture. We look forward to working with our Clubs, partners, and fans in making meaningful changes in our society through the MLB Together platform.&#8221;
250,000 hours is a challenge, but former players got a start earlier in March by participating in a beach cleanup in Miami ahead of the World Baseball Classic final. Volunteers joined players — including Michael Bourn and Scott Kazmir — removed debris and trash from the shoreline of Miami Beach.
It&#8217;s fitting that baseball is playing a role in celebrating America&#8217;s 250th birthday since the sport has been part of the nation&#8217;s culture since the 1800s. In addition to logging the 250,000 volunteer hours across the league, teams will display a &#8220;USA 250&#8221; on their jerseys through the July 4th games — and during the MLB All-Star Game, which takes place in America&#8217;s birthplace, Philadelphia.
The midsummer event returns to Philly, where the Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago. This year&#8217;s game is the first time Citizens Bank Park will host the event since opening in 2004. The game has been held in Philadelphia four times in the past, one of which was held at Veterans Stadium for the nation&#8217;s Bicentennial in 1976.
Opening Day 2026 features some powerhouse pitching matchups with Pirates ace Paul Skenes facing off against Mets slinger Freddy Peralta.

Other Thursday games to watch include the World Champion Dodgers beginning their journey toward a three-peat when they take on the Diamondbacks. The Mariners and Guardians compete in a battle of the 2025 division winners in Seattle.
The 162-game season leaves little time for players to have free time, but the MLB&#8217;s commitment to celebrating America will be felt every time players and coaches log their volunteer hours to hit the overall volunteer goal.
Fans can get involved too by <a href="https://www.mlb.com/mlb-together/america-250">signing up</a> to volunteer alongside their favorite players.

In a bombshell interview with Hoda Kotb Thursday on the <a href="https://www.today.com/news/savannah-guthrie-nancy-guthrie-moment-mom-missing-rcna265248">Today Show</a>, Savannah Guthrie took us through the nightmare she&#8217;s been living for the last 54 days since her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was kidnapped from her bed in the middle of the night.
Savannah said her mother was abducted in her pajamas, with no shoes, leaving behind everything. After Savannah&#8217;s sister called 911 on February 1, the Today Show host said it didn&#8217;t take long for the siblings to know something was very wrong.
&#8220;My brother, you know, he spent his career in the military and worked in intelligence and is a fighter pilot and is brilliant,&#8221; Savannah said. &#8220;He saw very clearly right away what this was. Even on the phone when I called him, he knew. And he said I think she&#8217;s been kidnapped for ransom.&#8221;
It&#8217;s a theory the family has held on to throughout the ongoing investigation. Ransom notes flooded news outlets and other avenues following Nancy&#8217;s mysterious disappearance. Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Cameron, addressed two notes that specifically demanded payment in Bitcoin.
&#8220;I believe the two notes that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real,&#8221; Savannah said.
Savannah admits she knows it is a possibility because of her public prominence. She could be the reason her mother was targeted to make a quick buck, but it&#8217;s a thought she can barely say out loud. The family remains uncertain of a motive, seven weeks in.
&#8220;It&#8217;s too much to bear to think I brought this to her bedside, that it&#8217;s because of me,&#8221; Savannah told her former co-anchor. &#8220;If it is me &#8230; I&#8217;m so sorry.&#8221;
The family was the center of scrutiny early on in the investigation, with rumors swirling that the kidnapping could have been an inside job. Savannah finally addressed those rumors, describing how it affected her already grieving family.
&#8220;It piles pain upon pain. There are no words,&#8221; Savannah said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand, and I&#8217;ll never understand. No one took better care of my mom than my sister and brother-in-law. No one protected my mom more than my brother. We love her. She is our shining light, our matriarch, she&#8217;s all we have.&#8221;
The rumors started to quiet down after the FBI, with the help of Google, released <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/phuBCMSiXuo?si=mquv4c06TNPkqhil">images</a> of an armed, masked man with a backpack on Nancy&#8217;s front steps. The images are chilling, but Savannah said she&#8217;s thankful the public can see who was at her mom&#8217;s door so the focus can be on finding out who it is.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Savannah Guthrie opened up to Hoda Kotb about her reaction to seeing footage of an armed and masked person outside of mom Nancy Guthrie’s home on the night she disappeared. <a href="https://t.co/CI7WhyJfw7">https://t.co/CI7WhyJfw7</a>

&#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s just absolutely terrifying, it&#8217;s totally terrifying,&#8221; Savannah said of the images. &#8220;And I can&#8217;t imagine that&#8217;s who she saw standing over her bed. I can&#8217;t. That&#8217;s too much.&#8221;
The agony and desperation for answers were painted all over the news anchor&#8217;s face. While Savannah acknowledged the tireless work investigators are doing, she is again asking for answers.
&#8220;We cannot be at peace without knowing, and someone can do the right thing. It is never too late to do the right thing, and our hearts are focused on that.&#8221;
The second part of the two-part interview airs Friday on the Today Show.

True Crime

It was the Sunday after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last fall. Professional soccer player Elizabeth Eddy was at church with her now-husband. The two attend church regularly, so while it wasn’t Kirk’s assassination that got them in the church pews, it was that tragedy that became the subject of the preacher’s sermon that day.
The preacher told the congregation that the attack on Kirk was an attack on free speech. It was that sermon that nudged Eddy, after 10 years in the National Women’s Soccer League, to speak up about a part of women’s soccer that she saw being jeopardized by the lie that men can compete as women—so in her final season, she spoke up.
“It&#8217;s like, this is way bigger than my playing career,” Eddy told The Daily Wire. “This is like, changing the landscape of women&#8217;s soccer at the professional level, which sets a precedent for all other women&#8217;s sports in America.”
Eddy announced her retirement from the NWSL on Tuesday knowing she gave her all to the league as a player both on and off the pitch.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
After months of consideration and prayer, I have a special announcement to make. 😊 <a href="https://t.co/03ii9LyfTi">pic.twitter.com/03ii9LyfTi</a>
— Elizabeth Eddy (@elizabetheddy2) <a href="https://twitter.com/elizabetheddy2/status/2036553794373210317?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 24, 2026</a></blockquote>
It’s ironic that the toughest test of her career would end up happening outside the lines, and in the headlines. After penning a piece in the New York Post on protecting women’s spaces, and even suggesting creating new spaces for trans-identifying players, Eddy was labeled a “racist” and “transphobe” by her Angel FC teammates.
These teammates weren’t just players on the roster; they were Eddy’s friends—close friends, actually, already invited to Eddy’s upcoming wedding. After Eddy stood for biological truth, they didn’t attend.
“It was like, pretty personal, and one of them even helped my fiancé plan our engagement,” Eddy said. “It was really tough, but like, at the end of the day, I need to answer to God, not to my peers or my success level on earth or whoever else I might want to please.”
“Although I&#8217;m hurt, I&#8217;m holding out hope that one day we can have reconciliation.”
The pushback was painful, but Eddy has no regrets about her statements on women&#8217;s sports. As she looks to her post-soccer chapter, she plans to continue advocating for women to have opportunities to play in a protected category.
“I&#8217;d love to have like a bunch of kids, a bunch of boys and girls, and I want the girls to have a chance to compete and play versus having an uneven playing field from the get-go because they&#8217;re a girl,” Eddy said. “I was like, if I have any ability to affect that, I will happily spend time and effort to do that because again, people have paved the way for all of us girls in America. For example, Title IX and now that is kind of under question. I was recently in D.C. at the Supreme Court on the steps doing the part of this rally and speaking about Title IX, and that’s where I realized how fragile the current policies are and how important it is to actually engage in how to shape the policies for the future.”
In addition to her advocacy for women, Eddy is continuing to compete—trading her shin guards for surfboards. The Newport Beach, California, native grew up hitting the waves and, now that her schedule allows, she’s excited to pursue a solo sport that she says is a different kind of challenge, channeling her “competitive energy” into a “flowy state” on the water.
“I just got back actually three weeks ago from my first pro-surfing contest. It was in Barbados and it was for the World Surf League. Although I got out in the first round, I was like, this is like the coolest thing ever,” Eddy said.
She’s excited to still be a professional athlete who is actively in the fight for women’s sports. She was a utility player on the soccer pitch, meaning she could play multiple positions. Now she’ll have multiple career obligations, which include public speaking, plus a full surfing schedule. The chaos, she says, will be worth the extra work because Eddy firmly believes the more female athletes stand up for their sports, the quicker their category will be protected.
“I was completely delegitimized by how my soccer team responded and the league,” Eddy said. “So then it&#8217;s like, when the next person speaks up, they probably won&#8217;t get as delegitimized, and then a few more might speak up and it will snowball. We&#8217;re moving in a really good direction, and the more people that speak up and the sooner they do it, the better it is for all of our daughters in the future.”
It was Eddy&#8217;s faith that gave her the courage to speak out in the first place, and it’s still her faith that guides her decision-making as the veteran soccer player boldly takes on her next chapter.
“God is not changing,” Eddy said. “He&#8217;s faithful yesterday, he’s faithful today, and faithful tomorrow.&#8221;

On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, in a small run-down courtroom in Adams County, Ohio, sat a man in an American flag suit, American flag sunglasses, a marijuana-shaped ring, and a legendary rap catalog. It was Afroman&#8217;s defamation trial and he was determined to win.
Afroman, real name Joseph Foreman, went from drinking Colt 45s and living his life to fighting what he calls &#8220;crooked cops&#8221; after he was sued by seven Adams County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies for defamation and humiliation. The deputies claimed Afroman defamed them and used their likeness for profit after the rapper dropped numerous viral songs about cops who raided his home.
The judge found the rapper not liable for defamation or invasion of privacy regarding his music videos and Afroman is still celebrating what he calls a &#8220;win for free speech.&#8221;
Afroman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/fng-260323-afroman">told me</a> that responding to the cops with rap videos was the most American thing he could do.
&#8220;There&#8217;s one power I have, and I&#8217;m not giving it up,&#8221; Afroman told The Daily Wire, wearing the same American flag suit he wore in court. &#8220;I have the freedom of speech. So after they kick down my door, disconnect my cameras, steal my money &#8230; with my freedom of speech, I will address all of these issues.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m a classic American. I&#8217;m a soul brother. I walk with a stroll. I play soul music. You know, all of that is America,&#8221; Afroman said. &#8220;The fist that everybody throws up. That&#8217;s American. You know, rap music — It&#8217;s American, man.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/audXVeEsDwo?si=ypbAIzOTHF5AOhhR" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo">Lemon Pound Cake</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bNy7XO-SCI&amp;list=RD0bNy7XO-SCI&amp;start_radio=1">Will You Help Me Repair My Door</a>&#8221; are two of the botched-raid inspired songs racking in millions of views on YouTube. The lyrics are catchy with verses detailing what Afroman saw on the footage of the raid from his surveillance cameras. The pre-chorus of &#8220;Lemon Pound Cake&#8221; details an officer caught on camera checking out the cake on Afroman&#8217;s counter.
Afroman said writing the songs was no different than writing his classic track.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been writing about my pain for years, you know, &#8216;Because I Got High&#8217; wasn&#8217;t funny until I put it on paper. It kind of made it funny, you know what I&#8217;m saying?&#8221;
&#8220;Because I Got High&#8221; is Afroman&#8217;s most popular song and was even nominated for a Grammy in 2002, and now his lemon pound cake track is entertaining the internet. Afroman said the words to the viral soundtracks came easy to him once he sat down to write in the same kitchen that was raided.
&#8220;I like my kitchen. I never thought I&#8217;d like my kitchen because I used to hate washing dishes as a boy. So the kitchen was like my favorite and my worst. I loved it when it was time to eat, but I hated when it was time to clean up. You know?&#8221; Afroman said. &#8220;But I wrote it right here on my kitchen table.&#8221;
Don&#8217;t let Afroman&#8217;s outdated <a href="https://x.com/ogafroman?s=20">profile</a> on X fool you, right now it reads &#8220;2024 Presidential Candidate,&#8221; but he has fans asking about his intentions for 2028.
&#8220;If America needs me to be the president, I&#8217;ll be the president. If America needs me to be the vice president, I&#8217;ll be the vice president. If America just needs me to be a good citizen, I&#8217;ll be a good citizen,&#8221; Afroman said.
Afroman is from California but says he plans to stay in Ohio, despite the cop saga. How did Afroman end up in Ohio? He says it was all because of a woman.
&#8220;I try to be smart, but I have my, you know, side effects,&#8221; Afroman said. &#8220;I like big butts and I cannot lie.&#8221;
Under oath or from his kitchen on a podcast, Afroman doesn&#8217;t lie. His lyrics tell it like it is, and his lifestyle is unapologetic. His freedom of speech court win catapulted the singer back where he belongs — in the spotlight.
Since the trial wrapped, Afroman has nearly 28 million views on his videos related to the 2022 raid, and the rapper turned chess player, turned courtroom sensation, is grateful for every one of them.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t forget about your boy, Afro. I&#8217;m putting a record out here in a little bit, but I just like the good vibes it&#8217;s giving everybody right now.&#8221;

Afroman is no stranger to his legal escapades making headlines. But the &#8220;Because I Got High&#8221; singer is back in the news this week for a different kind of courtroom drama.
The rapper on Wednesday won a defamation trial after several deputies sued him for music videos he made using real footage from the sheriff&#8217;s department&#8217;s botched raid at his Ohio home in 2022. The jury found that the hitmaker did not defame the seven deputies from the Adams County Sheriff&#8217;s Department or invade their privacy when he dropped a series of music videos post-raid.
&#8220;We did it America,&#8221; a red, white, and blue-clad Afroman exclaimed after the verdict dropped. &#8220;We did it, freedom of speech.&#8221;
The deputies sued Afroman — whose real name is Joseph Foreman — in 2023, claiming the singer used their likeness without permission. The deputies claim the video for &#8220;Lemon Pound Cake&#8221; caused humiliation and distress to the deputies, plus prompted death threats, per a report from <a href="https://local12.com/news/local/jury-deliberates-lawsuit-surrounding-afromans-viral-lemon-pound-cake-video-cincinnati-adams-county-joseph-foreman-deputies-raid-lisa-phillips-brian-newland-randy-walters-shawn-grooms-shawn-cooley-justin-cooley-mike-estep">Local 12 News</a> in Cincinnati.
Per Local 12, the deputies involved in the lawsuit wanted big-time money for the alleged emotional damages. Their attorney, Robert Kiplinger, asked the jury for specific amounts for each of the deputies for &#8220;all the suffering the seven plaintiffs endured,&#8221; according to the news outlet. The highest amount requested was for Lisa Phillips at $1.5 million. Brian Newland and Randy Walters each asked for $1 million.
Kiplinger also asked jurors to award $400,000 to be divided among Shawn Grooms, Shawn Cooley, Justin Cooley, and Mike Estep.
When Afroman took the stand Tuesday, he said any pushback from the video is the deputies&#8217; fault.
&#8220;If they hadn&#8217;t wrongly raided my house, there would be no lawsuit, I would not know their names, they wouldn&#8217;t be on my home surveillance system and there would be no songs,&#8221; Afroman said.
The video for &#8220;Lemon Pound Cake&#8221; was played in court Wednesday where the jury could listen along to the song&#8217;s lyrics, including: &#8220;The Adams County Sheriff kicked down my door. Then I heard the glass break. They found no kidnapping victims. Just some lemon pound cake.&#8221;
The officer depicted in the song, looking at an apparent lemon pound cake in Afroman&#8217;s home, is Deputy Shawn Cooley, who has since retired from the Adams County Sheriff&#8217;s Department. Cooley told the jury the attention caused by the video led to threats against his life, his wife, and his children. Cooley said it was difficult for his family to go to public places like Walmart after the song that has more than 3 million views and counting on YouTube was released.
The 51-year-old rapper was not charged following the raid, which left him with significant damage to his home and plenty of footage for music videos. Afroman claims the raid stemmed from allegations of drug trafficking and kidnapping.
&#8220;In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant,&#8221; the judge said Wednesday evening. Now Afroman has enough material to &#8220;sell tapes from here to Hong Kong.&#8221;

It&#8217;s been a whirlwind of a week for members of the Iranian Women&#8217;s soccer team. Many players sought asylum instead of returning to Iran. Now the same women are withdrawing their asylum bids as concerns for their families&#8217; safety under the despotic regime mount.
The latest to make this move is the captain of the soccer team, Zahra Ghanbari, who is &#8220;returning to the embrace of the homeland&#8221; Monday after withdrawing her asylum bid Sunday, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported.
Per the <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/15/world-news/captain-of-iranian-womens-soccer-team-withdraws-asylum-bid/">New York Post</a>, the players fear their families are in danger if they don’t return home.
&#8220;Several of the players decided to go back because the threats against their families became unbearable and the intimidation was relentless,&#8221; Shiva Amini, an exiled Iranian former soccer player, wrote on <a href="https://x.com/Shiva_amini_11/status/2033179303177863410?s=20">X</a> on Sunday. &#8220;They have even targeted the family of Zahra Ghanbari. Despite the fact that she has just lost her father, authorities are putting pressure on her mother. This shows the level of cruelty and desperation they are willing to use to force these athletes to comply.&#8221;
Seven players made headlines last week for seeking asylum in Australia after being eliminated from the Women&#8217;s Asian Cup, where members of Iran&#8217;s team refused to sing the Iranian National Anthem. Now the only two players who intend to remain in Australia are Fatemeh Pasandideh and Atefeh Ramezanisadeh.
&#8220;The guilt, the pressure, the impossible choice between your freedom and your family,&#8221; Amini wrote on X. &#8220;Sometimes the psychological pressure is so strong that it feels like there is no real choice. Whether you stay or whether you go back, in both cases you are still suffering.&#8221;
The Iranian women had decided not to partake in their country&#8217;s anthem <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iranian-womens-soccer-team-stands-silent-during-national-anthem">earlier this month</a> after the United States and Israel launched their air strikes on Iran, killing the Islamic Republic&#8217;s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The women were called &#8220;traitors,&#8221; and their well-being was put in jeopardy.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reveals-call-with-australia-pm-on-desperate-iran-womens-soccer-team-crisis">revealed</a> last week that he had spoken with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on behalf of the Iranian women’s soccer team, detailing the delicate situation for the young women. The Australian government immediately took action to protect them.
&#8220;The players were &#8216;given repeated chances to talk about their options&#8217; but ultimately faced &#8216;incredibly difficult decisions,'&#8221; Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said in a statement Saturday.
An Australian councillor for the city of Ryde, Tina Kordrostami, alleged the players were being heavily intimidated by Tehran, claiming their families were being used as leverage to get them back to Iran.
&#8220;I know families have even been detained. I know family members are missing,&#8221; Kordrostami told Fox News. &#8220;We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe.&#8221;
The two players who chose to stay in Australia are receiving assistance from the government and the Iranian diaspora community, per a report by <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/iranian-womens-soccer-team-leaves-malaysia-for-oman-after-asylum-reversal">PBS</a>.
On Monday, the soccer players who remain in Australia were invited to train with local club Brisbane Roar FC.
&#8220;Today, Brisbane Roar officially welcomed both Fatemeh Pasandideh and Atefeh Ramezanisadeh to the club’s training facilities to take part in training with our A-League Women squad and remain committed to providing a supportive environment for them whilst they navigate the next stages,&#8221; Brisbane Roar FC CEO, Kaz Patafta, said.
The club&#8217;s CEO said the team will not be providing any further comment on the two Iranian women at this time.

Team USA is heading to the finals of the World Baseball Classic after a gritty win over a stacked Dominican Republic squad Sunday, and Paul Skenes couldn&#8217;t be happier leading the charge for his country in what he calls his &#8220;proudest&#8221; moment.
&#8220;The proudest I’ve ever been wearing a jersey is the USA jersey,&#8221; Skenes told <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/paul-skenes-talks-representing-usa-rare-interview-a-rod-its-different-level">Alex Rodriguez</a> in a sit-down interview ahead of the win over the DR. &#8220;You’re playing for a whole lot more. It’s great to play for a city, great to play for Pittsburgh in the regular season, but playing for your country, it’s a different level.&#8221;
Skenes is arguably a generational baseball talent, and while he shines on the diamond, he&#8217;s never shied away from his love of country.
The Pittsburgh Pirates ace once thought he would be flying fighter jets in the United States Air Force. The Cy Young winner, an award for the best MLB pitcher, was fresh out of high school when he took an oath to put his life on the line for our country. Even after Skenes was the overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, the MLB Rookie of the Year, and already a Cy Young award winner, he says taking that military oath is still &#8220;one of the highlights&#8221; of his life.
&#8220;I got the chills reciting that pledge just from how proud I am of this country,&#8221; Skenes penned in a letter published by <a href="https://www.theplayerstribune.com/paul-skenes-mlb-baseball-pittsburgh-pirates-wbc-usa">The Players&#8217; Tribune</a> ahead of the international baseball tournament. &#8220;I’m actually getting chills right now remembering back to that time. Because when you love something so much that you’re willing to lay down your life for it? It’s pretty meaningful stuff.&#8221;
He played the first two years of his college career at the Air Force Academy before transferring to LSU, where he won a National Championship. But during his time wearing both an Air Force serviceman uniform and baseball uniform, Skenes said he developed the skills that have made him into the pitcher and person he is today.
&#8220;I truly believe that regardless of what you’re doing, if you want to accomplish great things and be the best version of yourself, you’re going to have to work extremely hard — be disciplined, focused,&#8221; Skenes said. &#8220;I’m pretty sure that if I hadn’t put in that time at the Academy, I probably would&#8217;ve spent a lot more time in the minors than I did. So I’m incredibly grateful.&#8221;
His military background is why playing on Team USA is such an honor.
&#8220;I was never deployed myself, but I know how much pride those individuals take in wearing that uniform with your name on the right side of your chest and the U.S. Air Force or Army lettering on the left side … because that’s what you put over your heart,&#8221; Skenes said, adding that the players putting on the red, white, and blue aren&#8217;t doing it for the fame or money, but to simply represent their country.
&#8220;Our team, we’re not cadets or anything like that. (These hairstyles would never fly). But everyone on this team … we all understand that when you put on those colors, you’re not just playing baseball, you’re representing something deeper,&#8221; Skenes said. &#8220;When you’re watching us in this tournament, we hope you feel that too.&#8221;
Skenes set the all-time record for most strikeouts at seven by a Team USA pitcher at the World Baseball Classic in his first appearance in the tourney. In the biggest test of the WBC, Skenes went 4.1 innings and gave up one run, a first-inning homer to Junior Caminero. Skenes got two strikeouts in the win over the previously undefeated Team DR filled with MLB all-stars including Juan Soto, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Skenes, aside from his Players&#8217; Tribune letter, is a man of few words — still after Sunday&#8217;s win, Skenes explained the significance of the semi-final victory, calling the Team DR lineup &#8220;the toughest lineup&#8221; he&#8217;s ever faced.
Now Team USA awaits the winner of Monday&#8217;s semifinal between Venezuela and Italy before taking the field one last time on Tuesday in the WBC Final.
Team USA entered the tournament as the favorites to bring home the hardware, and entering the finals, Skenes&#8217; mindset isn&#8217;t focused on adding another trophy to his case — but winning to honor the real heroes of the United States.
&#8220;Our servicemen and women don’t have the luxury of losing, it’s not really an option for them,&#8221; Skenes said. &#8220;We’re not going to war, but [this] is what we do in America: we fight and we win. That’s our responsibility.&#8221;

Brooke Slusser took a stand for women in college sports. Now she&#8217;s the victim of vicious online attacks.
In a recent interview with <a href="https://x.com/JackThompsonFOX/status/2030652503356854736?s=20">Fox News</a>, the former San Jose State Volleyball player expressed shock at the hate and vitriol coming out now for simply saying she was not comfortable sharing a bed with a man as a college athlete. The attacks come years after Slusser joined the lawsuit against the NCAA, where she publicly spoke about her experience playing alongside Blaire Fleming, a biological male on the SJSU women&#8217;s volleyball team.
&#8220;I honestly think what struck the biggest nerve is this is really the first time I&#8217;ve like sat and talked about just kind of like a day to day point of view, like, yes, we were good friends, like we&#8217;d share very like intimate details about each of our lives, like that&#8217;s a normal roommate tendencies do in a girl&#8217;s apartment,&#8221; Slusser told The Daily Wire.
<div id="attachment_1057909" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1057909" class="size-large wp-image-1057909" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-32-864x576.png" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-32-864x576.png 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-32-300x200.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-32-768x512.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-32.png 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />Credit: Brooke Slusser</div>
Since the interview earlier this week, Slusser has been called a &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/Brocklesnitch/status/2030881342385537472?s=20">b*tch</a>&#8221; and a &#8220;transphobe right-wing <a href="https://x.com/druidDUDE/status/2031021289440178594?s=20">grifter</a>&#8221; among other attacks for simply speaking the truth.
&#8220;Someone texted me and was like, &#8216;I love you so much, I hope you&#8217;re doing ok,&#8217; and that usually means that&#8217;s usually how I find out something&#8217;s going on about me on the internet,&#8221; Slusser said of the attacks.
Slusser believed her coaches, support staff, and San Jose State admin when they told her Blaire was a girl. Slusser shared beds with the biological man on team trips and lived together for two seasons. Slusser said she was blindsided by the news that she had been living with a man, even though, in hindsight, she said things seemed off.
&#8220;His doors were always locked, that&#8217;s what I remember, because like I said, we were all very good friends, and so it&#8217;s very normal for girls just to like barge into each other&#8217;s rooms unannounced,&#8221; Slusser said. &#8220;We always had to knock, and I just thought that was weird, but I was like, if a person likes their privacy, I&#8217;m not gonna be the one to push a button.&#8221;
Slusser refuses to focus on the hate. Instead, she&#8217;s driven to ensure other girls don&#8217;t live through the experience of playing and living with a man disguised as a woman, which Slusser described as &#8220;hell.&#8221; Slusser said her coach, Todd Kress, never told Slusser her roommate was a man, and once news broke about Fleming&#8217;s biology, Kress encouraged his team to stay quiet.
&#8220;They gaslit us so much, and the fact that like, if we spoke on this at all, even with like close family and friends, our scholarship would be in jeopardy,&#8221; Slusser said.
In January, the Office of Civil Rights found San Jose State violated Title IX because of its handling of the trans-identifying volleyball player. The Trump admin said that if the university complied with a list of conditions, the university wouldn&#8217;t be punished. Instead of complying, like Penn did last year, SJSU and the California State University system decided to sue the federal government.
SJSU President Dr.Cynthia Teniente-Matson released this <a href="https://blogs.sjsu.edu/newsroom/2026/ocr-titleix-lawsuit/">statement</a> on March 6 regarding the lawsuit:
&#8220;This is not a step we take lightly. However, we have a responsibility to defend the integrity of our institution and the rule of law, while ensuring that every member of our community is treated fairly and in accordance with the law. Our position is simple: We have followed the law and cannot be punished for doing so. OCR has faulted us for following decisions from federal courts that bound SJSU; OCR has no authority to do that. We are asking the court to set aside OCR’s Letter of Findings and Proposed Resolution Agreement and prevent the Department of Education from terminating, freezing, or refusing to grant SJSU’s federal funding.&#8221;
Slusser called her institution&#8217;s decision &#8220;blood-boiling.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s mostly SJSU that needs to be held accountable,&#8221; Slusser said. &#8220;I achieved the dream of playing collegiate sports, and the last year I had was completely ruined. You can&#8217;t get that back.&#8221;
During Slusser&#8217;s senior season in 2024, eight of San Jose State&#8217;s wins came from forfeits because other collegiate programs refused to play against a male. In the Mountain West Conference alone, Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State, and Nevada forfeited seven matches against SJSU. Slusser thought the nationwide pushback would address the issue, but she was proved wrong.
&#8220;I was still trusting of Todd, my head coach, and I asked what happens if we just removed this one person and played as women, and he just cussed me out. I was like, oh, ok, that&#8217;s how we feel about this.&#8221;
The 23-year-old is fighting alongside Riley Gaines as the two are part of a lawsuit against the NCAA. Slusser said it&#8217;s progressing well despite both the NCAA and Mountain West conference attempts to appeal.
The slurs thrown Slusser&#8217;s way for speaking up thankfully don&#8217;t get her down. Even if they did, she said she would never stop standing up for women.
&#8220;If I passed this up and had kids in sports later on and saw them going through what I did when I knew I could change it and didn&#8217;t, I would literally kick myself.&#8221;
&#8220;I just think people need to know you can stand up and nothing is gonna happen to you.&#8221;

'Feminists' Attack Woman Who Was Forced To Room With Biological Male Teammate

The NBA has canceled the Atlanta Hawks&#8217; &#8220;Magic City Monday,&#8221; which was set for next week, after some NBA players raised concerns about having a promotional themed night celebrating a strip club.
The Hawks were set to honor one of Atlanta’s &#8220;iconic cultural institutions&#8221; with special food, merchandise, and a halftime performance by Atlanta rapper T.I. for their matchup against the Orlando Magic next week, per a team release.
But San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet voiced concerns about having a night that brings attention to Magic City, the historic strip club in Atlanta, calling the move a poor decision.
&#8220;The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make this the best basketball league in the world,&#8221; Kornet wrote. &#8220;We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love&#8230;we desire to provide an environment where fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience. The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision.&#8221;

Warriors center Al Horford, who played for years for the Hawks, also pushed back against &#8220;Magic City Monday,&#8221; saying he agreed with Kornet&#8217;s assessment of the evening not creating an environment for fans of all ages — and the league agrees.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement on Monday: &#8220;When we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks&#8217; scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and rationale. While we appreciate the team&#8217;s perspective and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners and employees. I believe cancelling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.&#8221;
&#8220;Magic City Monday&#8221; was scheduled for the Hawks on March 16.
&#8220;The Hawks have worked with Magic City to bring the ‘best of’ the phenomena for fans in attendance at the award-winning State Farm Arena,&#8221; the announcement for the promotional night read.
&#8220;From the food to the music and the exclusive merchandise, we are excited to team up with Magic City to create an authentic, true to Atlanta-inspired game experience,&#8221; said Hawks Executive Vice President &amp; Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Proctor.
Atlanta&#8217;s NBA team responded to the cancellation in a statement Monday evening on <a href="https://x.com/ATLHawks/status/2031132956379533698?s=20">X</a>.
&#8220;While we are very disappointed in the NBA&#8217;s decision to cancel our Magic City Night promotion, we full respect its decision. As a franchise, we remain committed to celebrating the best of Atlanta with authenticity in ways that continue to unite and bring us all together.&#8221;
The Hawks never referred to Magic City as a strip club, though the widely-known entertainment space has been known for that since the 80s; instead, the organization planned to focus on other aspects of the club, including its lemon pepper wings that were set to be a special menu item for the March 16 game.
There is no word on if famed rapper T.I. is still set to perform, despite the promotion being called off.
The tip-off for the Hawks and Magic is set for next Monday at 7:00 p.m. ET.

The nation&#8217;s capital will celebrate fast cars and freedom this summer as IndyCar hosts the first-ever street race on the National Mall as part of America&#8217;s 250th anniversary celebrations.
The <a href="https://www.freedom250gp.com/">Freedom 250 Grand Prix</a> will host the best NTT INDYCAR drivers who will take on the 1.7-mile-long course that cuts through the nation&#8217;s historic landmarks in Washington, D.C.
The INDYCAR race celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and was made possible through an Executive Order signed earlier this year by President Donald Trump entitled &#8220;Celebrating American Greatness with American Motor Racing.&#8221;
The race course features a .4-mile front stretch along Pennsylvania Avenue, where INDYCAR fans can see the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. Pit row will run adjacent to the track, on Pennsylvania Avenue. Other landmarks along the race course include the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the National Archives. INDYCAR officials describe the course as &#8220;challenging&#8221; and &#8220;picturesque.&#8221;
&#8220;This circuit is unlike any other street race we’ve seen,&#8221; said two‑time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion and back‑to‑back Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden.
The Nashville native toured the circuit Monday morning in Washington, D.C.
<div id="attachment_1056063" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1056063" class="size-full wp-image-1056063" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/indycar-map.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/indycar-map.jpg 1000w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/indycar-map-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/indycar-map-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" />Credit: INDYCAR</div>
&#8220;You’ve got a high‑speed section down Pennsylvania Avenue that will reward commitment and precision, mixed with technical corners around 9th Street that will demand respect,&#8221; Newgarden said. &#8220;Racing through the heart of American history, with those amazing landmarks lining the course, is going to be incredibly powerful. I can’t wait to be back here to race and celebrate America’s birthday at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.&#8221;
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks were alongside Newgarden and other race organizers Monday to kick off the countdown to race day.
&#8220;Freedom doesn’t ring, it revs! The Freedom 250 Grand Prix will showcase American ingenuity in engineering and technology along the backdrop of our historic capital in a spectacle that will leave the world in awe,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “President Trump and our partners at INDYCAR are preparing a historic celebration worthy of America’s 250th anniversary. The design of this unique and competitive track will deliver an exhilarating and safe experience for millions of Americans to enjoy and celebrate.&#8221;
Race course construction for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix circuit starts later this year, with the roads near the U.S. Capitol and around the National Mall expected to remain open and accessible throughout the majority of the course creation.
This race will take place after another historical sporting event planned in Washington, D.C., as part of the year-long America 250 celebrations. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix will take place in August, following the UFC Freedom 250 scheduled for June 14, live from The White House lawn.
It&#8217;s a summer full of firsts. Unlike the UFC fight, the INDYCAR race is free and open to the public.
The engines will rev throughout Washington D.C., August 22-23.
