Autosport was among the select media outlets invited to the launch of Formula 1's African Grand Prix in Rwanda. The announcement raised key questions, but also showcased a nation determined to be taken seriously on the world stage. As a Belgian, visiting former colony Rwanda started with an uncomfortable encounter with history. My hotel turned out to be a short walk away from Camp Kigali, where 10 Belgian UN Peacekeepers were murdered during the 1994 genocide while assigned to protect Rwandan Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana.

For better or worse, the 2026 World Cup staged across North America will forever be associated by some with U. S. President Donald Trump. As he was so keen to point out, it was during Trump’s first administration that the United States, Canada and Mexico secured hosting rights for a tournament which would be plagued by governmental controversy. Besides the prices, visas and travel bans, Trump also planted himself at the center of the Folarin Balogun red card scandal. The President freely admitted that he intervened during an unprecedented protest which ultimately saw the U. S. men’s national team striker have his one-match ban suspended, allowing him to play in the round of 16 tie against Belgium. ESPN are among a number of outlets to have reported that the FIFA council is set to vote on a motion which will prohibit this action going forward. The issue for many is that no amount of rewriting future rulebooks will change the tainted past. Trump’s Role in Biggest Controversy of 2026 World CupThat would not be the last red card Donald Trump had an influence over.

Rangers weigh goaltending options after Shesterkin injury; Hellebuyck price too highThe New York Rangers are off to a hot start as they won for the sixth time in eight games to start the season Tuesday night. But they were on the receiving end of some bad news over the weekend when it was announced that starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss the rest of the season with a right knee injury. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Tuesday’s edition of Insider Trading that general manager Chris Drury is making calls around the league for a possible replacement. Dreger mentioned the Rangers have inquired about Connor Hellebuyck with the Winnipeg Jets, but the Rangers do not have a sense of urgency and “flat-out don’t wanna pay the hefty price” that Hellebuyck carries. Hellebuyck, who requested a trade out of Winnipeg in the off-season, remains suspended from the Jets after not reporting to training camp and has forfeited nearly $600,000 in salary as of Wednesday morning. As Dreger mentioned in last week’s edition of Insider Trading, Hellebuyck and the Jets continue to explore a trade that works for both the team and the goaltender.
