There’s a new power player on America’s extremist scene. White nationalist “Active Clubs” are growing explosively, and filling a void created by the prosecutions that decimated the leadership of Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. “The Active Clubs are who the Proud Boys thought they were,” says Jon Lewis, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. “They’re who the Proud Boys wanted to be.”

Bengaluru, Aug 9 (Ians) Lisa Sthalekar, the mentor of Wpl side Up Warriorz, believes that the importance of the franchise’s off-season training camp being held in Bengaluru, is a great touch point for the coaching staff to assist and help the players in becoming the better version of themselves on-field.
Up Warriorz finished at third place in the inaugural season of the Wpl held in Mumbai earlier this year.
Apart from Lisa, head coach Jon Lewis, assistant coach Anju Jain, and Kolkata Knight Riders assistant coach Abhishek Nayar are putting the Indian contingent of the Up Warriorz squad through the paces of the game in the off-season camp.

Mumbai, March 15 (Ians) The Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) have not won any game in the ongoing Wpl 2023 so far but Up Warriorz coach Jon Lewis feels that the Smriti Mandhana led franchise have improved in the last couple of games and his team needs to take them very seriously and prepare well.
Kitted in a yellow jersey, the Warriorz have pushed the likes of the Delhi Capitals and the Mumbai Indians to the hilt, while swatting aside the challenges from Gujarat Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore with relative ease in the ongoing season of Wpl.
After losing to Mumbai Indians in their last game, Up will now face a winless Rcb on Wednesday evening at the Dy Patil Stadium.
“We played well in the last game. With all the teams involved, including Rcb, if we can put the top order under a bit more pressure with the ball, take more wickets in the powerplay,...

Cape Town, Feb 25 (Ians) Aggressive, attacking and entertaining cricket has been at the forefront of England’s approach at the Icc Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 in South Africa. And while the semifinal defeat to hosts South Africa will sting, it was not their style of play that proved Englands undoing.
The playing style of the England women’s team under coach Jon Lewis has clear parallels with the ‘Bazball’ approach of the England men’s Test team.
Skipper Heather Knight feels that this new approach and the confidence her players gained from such tactics will boost the team’s confidence in future.
Taking the positive option and looking to assert themselves in the game, England’s batters followed the same blueprint in Friday’s semifinal at Cape Town, with openers Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt tearing out of the blocks.
England’s opening pair smashed 53 in five overs before Dunkley was dismissed,...

New Delhi, Feb 22 (Ians) Up Warriorz on Wednesday named the talismanic Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy as their captain ahead of the inaugural season of the Womens Premier League (Wpl), to be held from March 4-26 in Mumbai.
Alyssa, one of the most recognised faces in the sport, is a highly experienced and seasoned campaigner, having played 139 games for Australia in T20Is, scoring close to 2,500 runs, with one century and 14 fifties as well. She is also considered to be one of the best wicket-keeper batters in the sport, with 110 dismissals in T20Is.
One of the senior-most members of the dominant Australian side, Alyssa has been a key cog in the wheel, and is known to reserve her best performances for the biggest stages, such as slamming a fantastic 75 from 39 balls in the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where a record-breaking 86,174 people watched Australia win their fifth title.

England’s campaign in the Women’s T20 World Cup begins against 2016 champions West Indies on February 11 in Paarl as part of Group B that includes matches against India, Pakistan and Ireland.
“It’s amazing to be here in South Africa ready to test ourselves in another global tournament.

New Delhi, Jan 6 (Ians) Teenaged all-rounder Alice Capsey has been named in Englands 15-member squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup, to be held from February 10-26 in South Africa. Alice, 18, is named in the squad as she continues her recovery post breaking her collarbone during the tour of the West Indies in December 2022.
“We hope Alice is fit enough, she’s worked incredibly hard alongside the medical staff to get to this point and we’ll give her every chance, but as we saw in the Caribbean the depth of talent and skill in the squad is growing fast and winning tournaments is about everyone collectively embracing the moment and enjoying the journey,” said head coach Jon Lewis in an official statement.

London, Nov 22 (Ians) Captain Heather Knight is back from surgery on a hip injury, while all-rounders Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt both returned from breaks from the game in England Women’s squad announced for their white-ball tour of West Indies next month.
Lauren Winfield-Hill too was recalled to the T20I squad.
Brunt, who earlier in the year retired from Test cricket, made it to the T20I squad while Sciver is present in both teams. Brunt wasn’t named in the Odi squad with newly-appointed coach Jon Lewis hinting that her workload will be managed.
Knight will lead the team in both legs of the tour.

London, Sep 19 (Ians) The England and Wales Cricket Board (Ecb) is reportedly devising a plan where England pace-bowling stalwarts James Anderson and Stuart Broad could be made player-coaches, even as the country’s cricket governing body looks to prune the backroom staff.
Anderson, 40, and Broad, 36, are the most experienced England bowlers and are the highest wicket-taking pacers in the world. Given their decades of experience, the Ecb is exploring the possibility of giving the duo a new role, said a report in Daily Mail on Monday.
The report said Test coach Brendon McCullum is looking at the long term and wants to utilise the expertise of the veteran bowlers to permanently replace the outgoing Jon Lewis.
“McCullum is known to want a streamlining of the support staff within the Test environment, and with Lewis returning to work within the Ecb’s pathway system, it would mean a duo who have...

Two great teams. Lots of big stars. An exciting game. Big television markets. Momentum from a ratings rise during the regular season and playoffs.
And it all added up to the lowest ratings for Game 1 of the National Basketball Assn.’s June finals in many years.
The Thursday night NBA Finals opener between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics was the least-watched Game 1 held in June since the San Antonio Spurs swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007, some 15 years ago.
Jon Lewis of Sports Media Watch, reports that Game 1 drew a 6.3 average of 11.9 million viewers, topping only the previous two Finals, which were held at odd times of the year for the league because of the pandemic.
“Pending any potential out-of-home lift, the Celtics’ comeback win declined 19 in ratings and 11 in viewership from Warriors-Raptors Game 1 in 2019, the previous Finals to take place June,” Lewis wrote. “It currently...

The cast and crew of “The Banker” are rising to the defense of the film after Apple delayed its release. The technology giant had originally planned to debut “The Banker” in the height of awards season, giving it a prime release date as it moves more aggressively into the content space. However, things changed after Cynthia Garrett, the daughter of the film’s protagonist, Bernard Garrett, accused Bernard Garrett, Jr., one of the film’s producers and her half-brother, of sexual abuse.
In a statement, the film’s director, writer, and producer George Nolfi, as well as cast members such as Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicholas Hoult, Nia Long, and other key talent say they stand by the film and “its positive message of empowerment.” While expressing sympathy for Cynthia Garrett, they note that the film is not based on the memories of Garrett’s children, but on interviews with Garrett himself,...

Breaking: On the week that their film was supposed to open in theaters as Apple’s first theatrical release, the makers of The Banker — above and below the line — have issued a statement in solidarity and support for the message contained within a feature film that became embattled when Apple abruptly pulled it from the coveted AFI closing night slot and indefinitely postponed its theatrical release. Apple took those steps after allegations were made in social media posts by Cynthia Garrett — daughter of the film’s main character Bernard Garrett Sr — that her half brother Bernard Garrett Jr (who was listed as co-producer) molested her and her sister decades ago. Garrett Jr has denied those charges and his name immediately disappeared from the producing credits, which he said was his decision. Garrett Jr’s name also doesn’t appear among the 53 who signed the statement below.
