Great news for one of the finest referees in the world. Congratulations Nigel Owens on being picked as Stonewall’s Sports Person of the Decade. In other good news for people being true to themselves and their feelings 2 Tokyo Districts have recognised Same-Sex Partnerships. Here’s hoping that the elections in Myanmar can be a step closer to this sort of understanding and freedom.

However, today as a former American Football Player, it’s amazing to see Adidas’ generosity. No matter what you feel about the debate about the use of Native American mascots, a major sports manufacturer offering its design resources for free to all schools to make a free choice is brilliant.
