I had to triple check this headline. Take any 3 or 4 words in a row and it's a headline by itself.

Reply to Ghana wheelchair tennis players decry lack of support after gunmen attack in Nigeria. by PrincessBananas85
Came here for a synopsis of the article, but since everyone here before me wanted to be assholes, here’s my best go:
The Ghanaian national wheelchair tennis team was confronted by a group of gunmen while traveling at night by bus from Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, to the team’s lodgings in Lagos. The team was unable to afford a hotel in Abuja and was forced to hire a local Nigerian driver as they were not provided enough funding to cover travel expenses. Thankfully, it was this quick thinking driver who saved the team from a possible worse outcome by driving them away from the danger.
Three players were injured in the ordeal, none of them with life-threatening injuries. The team is upset with their own government, who has failed to even provide them with counseling after such a traumatic experience.
"They would never treat our national football team -- the Black Stars -- like this," said assistant head coach Phillip Plange.

Doesn't seem too smart to annoy someone who could afford to buy a death squad of their own

To be fair, pasta might not have developed into the winger he is now on the Canucks. Not a purposeful shot at them, but players develop differently in different situations.
Imagine what horvat could learn training, practicing, playing with bergeron day in and day out.

There was 9 no cut events to begin with. LIV isn’t even an original idea. They stole it from PGL because their feeling got hurt when they were cut from being a portion of the funding.

I remember hearing a rumour that the bruins offered to trade him for Horvat 1 for 1 earlier in their careers.

> "In Ghana we need to set our priorities straight," Philip Plange, assistant head coach and deputy secretary for the Ghana Accra Tennis Association, told ESPN.
That can be interpreted in completely different ways.

Do you think if they win it all he signs to hang on or will he call it Hall of Fame career right there?

Well, they are angry with Messi, just not Lionel Messi, but his brother. Who is a drug addict and has connections with Newells's hooligans and drug cartel leaders in Rosario
