This is the biggest story in World #Sport at the moment

The way the narrative is starting to play out is so reminiscent of the #Trump election - It's a scary template!

Regulated media V's Unregulated Media competing to tell the story 🤯#Boxing #Tribal

 For any #boxing / #sport fan with no previous knowledge of these characters, we should be sceptical of simplistic caricatures that are served up by Online Fans OR stenographers masquerading as journalists!

There's a lot of sh*t out there! 🤳💻

Research & Critical thinking! 🤔
If we accept the @panorama programme #boxingandthemob then we have a situation whereby #OrganisedCrime has not only infiltrated BUT is dominating a Global/Professional Sport!

If that's the case, what's to stop these forces taking over #Football OR other major Sport next?

#MTK
Another question would be;

If #OrganisedCrime has taken a controlling interest in professional sport, how come the #SportsMedia #Promotors #Sponsors #Athletes #Management #Fans have done little to call it out? 💸🔁

@BTSportBoxing @SkySportsBoxing @DAZNBoxing
#MAGA #MTK #Media
And why are there so many Boxers/Trainers/Fans online dismissing this story as some kind of #WitchHunt against #Kinahan ?

- "Stop being a hater"
- "No criminal convictions"
- "Good for the sport"
- "The boxers love him"
- "Look at all the investment he's making in sport/charity"
Let's consider the x2 key questions;

- Is Kinahan part of Serious Organised Crime / Is an OCG trying to legitimise itself through the control of professional sport?

- If so, why does they seem to have so much support?

The evidence...

🧐
Real Organised Crime has heritage / lineage (like Royals😉)

#Power #Control #systems #Families

In the UK/Ireland, Tier 1 criminals used to be Bank Robbers/Big time thieves in the 60's/70's.

Drugs became big in the 80's/90's⏩
Money grew exponentially 💸💰

So, start there 🧐
Read the extensive reporting & books from the last 30 years.

Look at the recurring names, systems, connections, convictions, dead bodies, wrecked societies!

And consider 🤔 Maybe we better watch out for this!?

It's real - It's Dangerous - It's being Normalised!

Like Trump was
Serious Organised Crime is a multi-national business.

Those TV shows we've seen about Italian, Russian, Latin Americans Mafia's/Cartels etc that seem Dark, Scary - Sexy, Glamorous!?

Read the Irish, Spanish & international press though

Stories from real communities 👀

Oh ☹️
The $£Mega Money created by Global Drug Trafficking has spawned the growth of other related sectors;

- Intelligence Agencies
- Terrorism Financing
- Offshore Networks

A lack of joined-up ability & approach 🌐 to stamp it out means some of that money seeps out & can corrupt 💸🔁
So why are so many boxers, trainers, pundits & fans dismissing this?

Money talks 🤷‍♂️💸

If your paycheque depends on it, are you going to stand up and call it out?

As well as the misery drugs bring to societies, they suck money out & concentrate it in the hands of key criminals
Those criminals are using popular sport & athletes to launder their 💉💊💸 & Reputations
#SportsWashing #MoneyLaundering

#Media plays a big part in this ecosystem

eg Unregulated #Socials & #Podcasts
Fund them & control the narrative

Popular opinion turns -Key Athletes Support
This isn't completely new...

Just like Trump re-inventing himself from a dodgy/failed businessman to a TV Business Guru & ultimately President of 🇺🇸 using #FoxNews #SocialMedia & having questionable connections/funding!

Sports Washing is a tactic

It Works

Perception = Reality
The big broadcasters are cornered! 🥊

Do @SkySportsBoxing or @BTSportBoxing refuse to deal with this company & the huge group of Athletes they control (pay for)?

🤔

The #FuryJoshua fight is a perfect example.

Just look at the numbers 🧐💰

It's Great Sport - Demand is there!
Boxing is the toughest of sports.

Any man/woman who is willing to test themselves in the ring against professionally trained fighters deserves respect (& hopefully a decent payday)

MTK can offer the best BECAUSE they have a 'Big Pot' of 💰 according to @BBCPanorama

Over Pay!?
Just like big corporations that can undercut smaller businesses because they have fancy structures to avoid tax OR 'Cartel like' relationships that ensure competition is priced out of the market

It's just... this cartels main business is allegedly drugs/murder/death/destruction!
So why hasn't this been stopped?

Why haven't authorities protected societies & arrested criminals?

Why is there so much confusion & cognitive dissonance?

#ModernWorld #FakeNews #GreyZones #Brexit #Trump #CultOfPersonalities

Lack of multi-lateral joined-up thinking/action!🚨

Ahead of Boca-River tonight, a LONG READ thread on River Plate's 2010/11 season: How did a massive club and institution like Club Atlético River Plate get relegated from Argentina's top tier in June 2011?

🇦🇷 #longread (3,000 words)

This thread is based on the fantastic When We Were Kings podcast with the blessing of its creators @ErikNiva & @andreassonhakan. Because the podcast is in Swedish, I wanted to translate the story and share it in English.

Disclaimer: this is NOT a dig at River Plate. My book's title/front cover overwhelmingly suggest that it's exclusively about Boca Juniors - that's not the case. I'm 100% neutral when it comes to Argentinian fútbol. This thread is not written to antagonise River fans!

June 2008. River Plate win the Clausura 2007/08 title (a 19-game half season) with Diego Cholo Simeone as manager. It's their 35th league title! River's attacking players: Radamel Falcao, Alexis Sánchez, Ariel Ortega, Sebastián Abreu, Diego Buonanotte, amongst others.


10/08/2008: The story of River Plate’s relegation in June 2011 starts on 10th August 2008! River Plate draw 1-1 away to Colón de Santa Fe on the opening day of the Apertura 2008/09 - it would be a bad campaign:
P19: W2/D8/L9. Cholo Simeone resigns after 1 win in first 14 games

The U.S.-China Rivalry

The US and China are the 2 greatest rivals in the 21st century. It’s American democracy vs Chinese socialism at the level of Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon Men’s Final. Who’s the better player? American democracy or Chinese socialism?


2/Probably no people have scrutinized American democracy more than China has, the world’s oldest civilization. “American exceptionalism” is under Beijing’s microscope. American democracy has catapulted the US into becoming the world’s greatest superpower in less than 200 years.

3/China, whose momentum will overtake the US in GDP by mid-century, has the same drive as Nadal (who proclaimed Federer was “the greatest player in the history [of tennis]") going against Federer at Wimbledon Final in 2008. Ever cautious, patient and wise, China respects its

4/opponent (as did Nadal) for its achievements. In order to better the US Beijing knows it must be more competitive, up its game and improve its skills. The US-China rivalry is one wherein “iron sharpens iron”. Yet whereas Beijing views American democracy thru an objective,

5/ideologically unbiased lens, the same can’t be said of US Congress, many of whom fear/think China wants to “take over the world” (to wit SoS Mike Pompeo) to “spread communism”. Having 5,000 years of culture, including Confucianism, China has the clearer and more objective view

Watching this play sent me down a memory hole that gave me goosebumps as well as a pang of guilt. Let me explain. A THREAD!


In 2011, I was hosting the ESPYs. Marshawn’s run was nominated for Best Play, an award that was voted on by fans online. It was considered a front runner if not a lock.

Two days before the show, we're all watching the US/Brazil game in the Women’s World Cup. In the 122 minute Abby Wambach scored a header from a brilliant cross via Megan Rapinoe. I asked ESPN’s estimable producer, the late, great Maura Mandt if we could add it to the nominees.

The best thing about the ESPYs is, unlike other award shows that take themselves too seriously, there is a “fuck it, why not” attitude so Maura just made it happen. Maura was great at making things happen. Want another example?

One of the highlights of the ESPYs is the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. When my son Ashe was born Maura gifted him this fake ESPY for BEST CHILD NAMED ASHE. I am confident this is the only ESPY anyone related to me will ever win.

It's 16th of December, 2020. India is standing at the back of an ODI series loss and a momentum shifting win in the t20i series. It's time for the marquee Border Gavaskar trophy. The pink ball test, the boxing day, new year's test and the Gabba Challenge. Are we up for it?


Join me on a special thread where I take you through the series with the journey of the series. We shall look at the playing 11s, the game progressions, special strategies, important moments, standout performances.

Fasten your seat belt or don't, hop on anyway for 46 tweets ☺️

Match 1: Adelaide

Jadeja is injured so Ashwin becomes an easy answer for the tough question of the lone spinner. There are other tough questions as to who should be the 2nd opener, Gill who had good practice game or Shaw who scored a 50 in the last test he played? Pant or Saha?

India is going into the pink ball test with Pace trio Bumrah Shami Umesh. Shaw is opening and Saha keeping. A decision probably taken with the Wicketkeeping ability as the priority

Virat has one the toss and decided to bat. He has never lost a test match after winning the toss

Second ball of the first over and the nightmares turn true as Starc runs through Shaw. Mayank gets out after getting a start and then Virat stitches two gritty partnerships with Pujara and Rahane. Things turn bad only when Virat gets run out on an unfortunate wrong call by Rahane

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

🧵EMA + VWAP STRATEGY

Every trader has a go-to strategy that works best for them. My trading is all about keeping it simple stupid and revolves around two indicators - Exponential moving averages and vwap.

Here's the strategy that I utilize on nearly 80% of my trades.

👇

What are Exponential Moving Averages?

EMA's are a type of moving average that places a greater weight on more recent data points.

8EMA = Exponential Moving Averages of the last 8 candle closing prices.

EMA's adjust with respect to chart time frame.

What is VWAP?

Volume Weighted Average Price - A key intraday indicator in my trading that offers the true average price based on price & volume.

Calculation: (Price x # of shares traded) / total shares traded

EMA's I use

- 8
- 21
- 50

While I do utilize the 50EMA, the 8 & 21 EMA are most important for this strategy. Some people use the 9 and 20 which are essentially the same thing. REMEMBER: EMA'S adjust with respect to time frames.

A+ Set Up Criteria - (What I look for)
