Lewis Hamilton’s Instagram has been completely emptied as the fallout over his lapse of judgement when lambasting a nephew for wearing a princess dress continues.
Four-time Formula One world champion Hamilton had shared a video mocking his nephew sporting a blue and pink dress and waving a pink heart-shaped furry wand over the Christmas holidays.
In the video, which has since been taken down, Hamilton shouts: “Boys don’t wear princess dresses,” which led to the youngster covering his ears with his hands.
The 32-year-old’s actions drew criticism on social media from users who felt his nephew should be free to wear whatever he wanted.
He took down the post and later tweeted an apology, which has also been deleted.
He was further criticized for liking some of the replies to his Twitter post, one of which said he had no need to apologize to the “PC [politically correct] brigade.”
Now all that remains on the Web site on Hamilton’s official page is the message “Dare to be the greatest. Inspire, spread love, and live every day to the fullest.”
If the Wild finally break through and win their first playoff series in a decade, Minnesota’s top line likely will be the reason. They were all over the Golden Knights through the first two games of their NHL Western Conference quarter-finals series, which was 1-1 going back to Minnesota for Game 3 today. The Wild tied the series with a 5-2 win on Tuesday. Matt Boldy had three goals and an assist in the first two games, while Kirill Kaprizov produced two goals and three assists. Joel Eriksson Ek, who centers the line, has yet to get on the scoresheet. “I think the biggest

From a commemorative jersey to a stadium in his name, Argentine soccer organizers are planning a slew of tributes to their late “Captain” Pope Francis, eulogized as the ultimate team player. Tributes to the Argentine pontiff, a lifelong lover of the game, who died on Monday at the age of 88, have been peppered with soccer metaphors in his homeland. “Francisco. What a player,” the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) said, describing the first pope from Latin America and the southern hemisphere as a generational talent who “never hogged the ball” and who showed the world “the importance of having an Argentine captain,
Arne Slot has denied that Darwin Nunez was dropped from Liverpool’s win against West Ham because of a training-ground row with a member of his coaching staff. The Liverpool head coach on Sunday last week said that Nunez was absent from the 2-1 victory at Anfield, having felt unwell during training the day before, although the striker sat behind the substitutes throughout the game. Speculation has been rife that the Uruguay international, whom Slot criticized for his work rate against Wolves and Aston Villa in February, was left out for disciplinary reasons. Asked on Friday to clarify the situation, Slot said: “He
