MADRID (AP) — Spain’s public television channel is investigating derogatory comments made during a women’s soccer match last weekend.

The comments were made during the broadcast of a game between Real Madrid and Eibar on Sunday, when an open microphone caught an unidentified man saying “these feminazis who want equality” shouldn’t be playing.

A video with the comment was widely shared online and several women’s players complained on social media.

Public network RTVE said this week that the audio was not heard during its local broadcast but the feed was redistributed to other markets and was available in its entirety in other places.

It said it would try to find out who was responsible for the “unforgivable comments,” adding they could have been made by someone not linked to the network.

Hush up about hopeless crush and step up

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Being stuck in the hot city while my wife and kids were enjoying the lake made me feel so alone. I felt sorry for myself. I thought I deserved some kind of reward, and it showed up in the shape of a new woman joining our office last month.

What a character. She was assigned to my department and was so full of new ideas — an injection of pure energy. She’s not beautiful, but her amazing smile lights me up. I’ve had a crush on her since Day 1.

Although I’m older than her and married, I’m alive and sexual.

But when we finally got to talking about sex last week, this woman dropped a big bombshell. She told me she’s bisexual and has a female partner coming to Winnipeg to live with her. What a shock.

We’re halfway through the 10-week summer holiday and if your family is anything like mine, it’s very likely you’ll be in full-blown survival mode at this point.

You’ve already visited all the popular ice-cream spots in the city (and if you haven’t then you’ll find a list of our faves here) , you’ve ticked every box in our Road Trip Bingo Card and answered every single question in the our How Well Do You Know Your Province Quiz (Part 1 and Part 2) … and there are still 29 days to go before school starts on Sept. 8.

If you’re running low on ideas, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered, with not one, not two, but three cycling/walking routes to help you squeeze a bit more fun from what’s left of the holidays. Grab your helmets, lace up your sneakers, pack water bottles and get outside to explore different neighbourhoods in the city.

NOTE: Check the Winnipeg Trails website before you leaving to make sure paths are open and in working order, especially if we’ve had a bout of nasty weather.

I believe most of us would agree that “you should be prepared to accept full responsibility” when choosing to own a pet. I also understand that pet ownership comes with costs, environmental concerns and risks, particularly when animals are neglected or poorly managed. However, the reality is that pets are deeply embedded in our homes and communities, providing benefits that are difficult to measure in dollars.

‘Exciting news’ on rail relocation coming

Carol Sanders 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Premier Wab Kinew is expected to make an announcement concerning long-awaited Winnipeg rail relocation later this week.

Former federal transport minister and Manitoba MP Lloyd Axworthy, who Kinew tasked in October 2024 with leading a two-year rail relocation feasibility study, confirmed there would be an announcement Wednesday.

“We’ve had this rail study group which I’ve chaired and we’ve been responsible for developing recommendations,” Axworthy said Monday.

The longtime champion for Winnipeg rail relocation, who is vacationing at his cottage on Lake Winnipeg, deferred to the premier’s office for information, but confirmed he will attend Wednesday’s news conference.
