Latrell Mitchell, South Sydney’s injured fullback, faced this abuse after posting a picture of himself with his 15-month-old son on Facebook. His mother, Patricia Goolagong, publicly aired her disgust toward the online trolls. Mitchell has long endured this kind of elusive hate, which has more literally included racist abuse during matches, and yet common for years: he keeps sharing family pictures on social media anyway. NRL officials, Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo, also condemned the abuse, making it clear that protecting players against online bullying is a priority for others after Mitchell. The FSU men’s basketball team is about to open up against Syracuse in the 2025 ACC Tournament opener. It is a more important game since it can determine the fate of what could very well be Coach Leonard Hamilton’s last game, who has been directing the program for 23 years. After an emotional win over SMU and some words of tribute to Coach Hamilton, Luke Loucks was introduced as FSU’s next head coach. Slightly favored, the Seminoles must win five in a row to garner an automatic NCAA tournament berth. Today marks the commencement of the 2025 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year, the tournament features 15 teams. Michigan State was awarded the top seed, with Maryland and Michigan in second and third, respectively. An automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament goes to the winner of this tournament.
