  • ‘If we keep fighting together, future players won’t have to go through this again,’ the Real Madrid player said.

    Published On 7 Apr 2026

    Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has praised Barcelona player Lamine Yamal for publicly condemning anti-Muslim chants in a recent match, saying players need to stick together in the fight against discrimination.

    Vinicius spoke on Monday, less than a week after Yamal criticised the chants by Spanish fans in Spain’s friendly against Egypt last Tuesday. Yamal, who is Muslim, said the chants were disrespectful and intolerable.

    Vinicius, a Brazil international, has often been subjected to racist taunts while playing in Europe and is vocal about the fight against racism. He said “it’s always complicated” to talk about the subject but “these things happen a lot.

    “Hopefully we can continue with this fight,” he said.

    “It’s important that Lamine speaks about it. It could help others. We are famous, we have money, we can balance these things better, but the poor people and the Black people who are everywhere, they surely struggle more than we do. So we have to stick together, those who have a stronger voice, the players…”

    Vinicius accused Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni of calling him a monkey after the Brazil forward celebrated in front of the home fans when he scored for Madrid in a Champions League match last month in Lisbon. Benfica fans insulted Vinicius from the stands.

    “I’m not saying that Spain or Germany or Portugal are racist countries, but there are racists in these countries, and in Brazil and other countries as well,” Vinicius said. “But if we keep fighting together, I think future players and people in general won’t have to go through this again.”

    Vinicius spoke on the eve of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal between Madrid and Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.

    Last week, Yamal, who is Muslim, slammed the “intolerable” chants at the ⁠⁠RCDE Stadium near Barcelona, the home ground of La Liga club Espanyol.

    “[The chanting] was aimed at the opposing team and was not something personal against me, but as a Muslim it is still a lack of respect and something intolerable,” Yamal wrote on Instagram.

    “To those who sing these things: using a religion as a form of mockery on a pitch shows you up as ignorant and racist.”

    Yamal, whose father moved from Morocco to Spain, came down hard on the fans.

    “I know I was playing for the rival team and it wasn’t something personal against me but as a Muslim person it doesn’t stop being disrespectful and something intolerable.

    “I am a Muslim. Yesterday at the stadium the chant ‘the one who doesn’t jump is the Muslim’ was heard.”

    • college career at Penn State never materialized that way, James Franklin was fired, and Allar missed half of his final year with the Nittany Lions after a season-ending broken left ankle.

    Allar is healthy. He showcased his arm strength at the NFL Combine.

    But it’s Allar’s 6-foot-5, 228 pound frame that NFL decision makers could fall in love with.

    Allar’s big size, paired with his big arm and above average athleticism drew Josh Allen player comparisons early in his college football career. Even though he never progressed that way as a prospect with the Nittany Lions, an NFL general manager will gamble on his intangibles.

    The size and arm strength projects more as a starting quarterback than a project, developmental backup. These are all reasons why Allar should be a Day 2 – not a Day 3 – draft selection.

    Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State WR

    Similar to Allar, Tyson dealt with some injury troubles during his career at ASU. As a result, there’s been some speculation that the 6-foot-2 wide receiver could slide to the end of the first round.

    But NFL executives understand that premium wide receivers don’t grow on trees. Players like Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson don’t come around too often. While Tyson can’t be compared to those two prospects, he could develop, add weight and stay healthier with an NFL training regimen.

    Don’t buy that Tyson will be available at the end of the first round. It simply isn’t happening.

    Sonny Styles, Ohio State LB

    It’s rare to see an off-ball linebacker like Styles drafted in the top 10. But could Styles sneak his way into the top five?

    At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, there was some chatter that the New York Giants would have no qualms about selecting Styles at No. 5 overall. The Giants picked up free agent linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on a three-year, $36 million deal in free agency.

    But they still have a need at linebacker, and Styles could be a talented player for many years to come.

    playing a video game quite as much as in the new film, Exit 8. Directed by Genki Kawamaura, the film is based on a game by Kotake Create in which the player navigates a subterranean loop, picking up on subtle changes, allowing them to exit. Here, that format is brought to life in a very clear, very simple way that encourages a level of engagement that feels unique and wholly rewarding.

    We start with “the Lost Man,” played by Kazunari Ninomiya. He’s a seemingly normal guy who is having a seemingly normal morning until he gets some very big news. Before he can digest it, though, he finds himself stuck in an endless loop in an underground subway station. Eventually, he reads the rules of this space, revealing that you must keep moving forward unless you witness some type of anomaly. If you see one of those, turn around and continue.

    And so the audience, like the character, instantly becomes involved. The Lost Man walks through the space, noting everything, committing it to memory, and you do the same. When there is something slightly different, you get excited for him if he notices or frustrated if he doesn’t. Much like watching someone else play a video game, you marvel at his skills as well as his mistakes.

There’s a tension and level of participation that left me impressed and surprised. I thought I was going in to see this simple horror movie, but after about 10-15 minutes, I wanted to (but did not) scream at the screen or control the characters with a controller. This works in large part due to the simple, beautiful design of the film. Kawamaura draws from the game in creating a very sparse, bright space, with distinct, easy-to-notice features: doors, posters, signs, etc. And as the film familiarizes you with them, you find yourself trying to get ahead of the movie itself, peeking around the corners, looking for those anomalies, which are the key to exiting. When the Lost Man makes a mistake, you’re both delighted to see what’s next and disappointed at the struggle. And, of course, many of those mistakes are either a result of, or result in, some really creepy, unsettling stuff happening. What makes Exit 8 especially interesting, though, is that there is much more to it than that. While the film initially starts with the Lost Man, the narrative soon expands by following other characters we initially thought were just NPCs (non-player characters). Yamato Kochi plays the Walking Man, and Naru Asanuma is the Boy, both of whom play integral roles in expanding the narrative. He’s right behind you. – Neon Then, just to really put a bow on things, the biggest surprise in the whole film is what it’s actually about. Events you seemingly forgot about from early in the film are given fresh perspectives, wrapping Exit 8 up in a very satisfying, positive, and life-affirming way. Now, of course, there is a little bit of monotony to the film. There are times when the repetitious nature of the narrative can get a little frustrating. But, in retrospect, that’s exactly the point. It’s clearly by design and is balanced well with some larger set pieces throughout. Plus, watching the film in a theater, with other people who are sharing the experience, the whole thing starts to feel more like a live performance than a movie. Kawamaura has so beautifully simplified the characters and goals that we feel like we’re living in the story itself. It’s a collective ride that will have you on the edge of your seat. Exit 8‘s interactive nature won’t be for everyone, but if you enjoy mysteries, games, and wonderful twists and turns, we highly recommend it. It’s in theaters April 10. Want more io9 news?

Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Dolphins running back De’Von Achane did not attend the first day of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday. “It’s part of the business,” new head coach Jeff Hafley told reporters. Achane, 24, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is looking for a long-term extension. “Those are talks for another time between Achane and Sully (general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan) … that’s part of the business, it’s part of what every team goes through. They’ll work it out,” Hafley said. The Dolphins overhauled their offense this offseason under Hafley and Sullivan, trading or releasing veterans such as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Achane is expected to play a featured role alongside new quarterback Malik Willis and new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. A third-round draft pick in 2023, Achane ran for a career-high 1,350 yards (fifth in the NFL) and eight touchdowns and made his first Pro Bowl last season. He led the league with 5.7 yards per carry and added 67 catches for 488 yards and four scores in 16 starts. Achane has gained 4,334 yards from scrimmage and scored 35 touchdowns in 44 career games (36 starts). He has rushed for more than 100 yards 10 times, including a career-high 203 yards with four total TDs as a 2023 rookie in a 70-20 blowout of the Denver Broncos. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Dolphins #DeVon #Achane #noshow #voluntary #workoutsDec 28, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane (28) warms up before a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Hard Rock Stadium.
