BERN, March 24 (Reuters) - A change of culture is needed at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make decision-making more inclusive, an association representing 85,000 athletes around the world said on Tuesday, following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021.
The next payday after April 1 would be April 15. At that point, it's possible the NBA could cut or suspend salaries with the league still shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a league memo sent Friday to the teams, Wojnarowski reported.
World Players Association (WPA) executive director Brendan Schwab said that, while he was happy with the decision to postpone the Games, the delay in making it in the face of the growing coronavirus pandemic made the IOC look almost naive.

On both the first- and second-gen 7-inch Hubs as well as Google's eventual heavyweight contender, the 10-inch Nest Hub Max, an ambient light sensor adjusts screen brightness and color temperature to match the surrounding room. What the Hub lacked in brawn, however, it more than made up for in brains and beauty. The resulting photos and videos simply pop off the screen in a way the competition still has yet to emulate (Amazon tried with the new and the result is impressive, but still not quite up to par with Google's engineering).

"This is a harsh reality to face for the international ice hockey family, but one that we must accept," IIHF President Rene Fasel said in a statement.
Foster said the fact the sheik had been implicated "in some or any way" in the Bahraini government's crackdown on athletes in 2011-2012 and his silence on al-Araibi's situation should exclude him from seeking a third term.
Prince Harry continues to shake up the British royal family by tackling things that were simply Not Done by past royals. Now he's writing an "intimate and heartfelt" memoir that's "accurate and wholly truthful," publisher Random House said Monday. The book will be published globally in late 2022, and the prince will donate proceeds to charity.

And Diana's tragic death in a Paris car accident in 1997, when Harry was just 12, will surely be discussed. Royal-watchers, of course, will be especially attuned to details about what it was like growing up with glamorous Princess Diana as a mother, and Harry's front-row seat to his father's affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.

The Swiss-based World Players' Association (WPA), which represents 85,000 players in over 60 countries, has called on Sheikh Salman al-Khalifa, the president of the Asian Football Federation (AFC), to help win al-Araibi's release.
Harry now lives in California with his American-born wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, including new baby Lilibet Diana. He's now sixth, since William's three children all come ahead of him in the line of succession.
