Derribado fuiste a tierra, tú que debilitabas a las naciones» (Isaías 14: 12).¿Han oído hablar de Diego Armando Maradona? —dijo el profesor Cul-Jorge Enrico Pavesi, mi profesor de educación física en la se¬cundaria en 1980.—Pues yo fui su entrenador en Argentinos Juniors. —Con esas palabras se presentó ante la clase y de inmediato conquistó la atención del grupo. ¿Quién no quería ser como Maradona a mi edad?Diego Armando Maradona fue un legendario futbolista argentino nacido el 30 de octubre de 1960 en Villa Fiorito, Buenos Aires. Conocido por su excepcional habilidad con el balón, Maradona se convirtió en una figura icónica en el mundo del fútbol. Comenzó su carrera profesional a los 15 años con el club Argentinos Juniors, donde rápidamente demostró su talento excepcional.En 1982, Maradona se unió al FC Barcelona, donde impresionó con su destreza y habilidad en el campo Sin embargo, fue en el SSC Nápoles donde alcanzó la cima de su carrera. Durante su tiempo en el Nápoles, Maradona llevó al equipo a ganar su primer título de la Serie A, un logro sin precedentes para el club del sur de Italia. A nivel internacional, Maradona fue fundamental en la victoria de la selección argentina en la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 1986. Su inolvidable «gol del siglo» contra Inglaterra en los cuartos de final y su «mano de Dios» aseguraron su lugar en la historia del fútbol.A pesar de su indiscutible talento en el fútbol, Maradona enfrentó numerosos problemas relacionados con su salud, adicciones y problemas legales a lo largo de su vida. Maradona luchó públicamente con problemas de adicción a las drogas y el alcohol, lo que afectó su rendimiento deportivo y su vida personal. Su relación con la prensa y su comportamiento polémico también contribuyeron a su reputación como una figura controvertida. Además, estuvo involucrado en varios incidentes y conflictos, tanto dentro como fuera del campo, que generaron controversia y debate.A nivel personal, Maradona tuvo varios matrimonios y relaciones tumultuosas, lo que también contribuyó a su imagen pública. Su personalidad fuerte y su comportamiento extravagante lo convirtieron en una figura polarizante. Murió debido a complicaciones relacionadas con su adicción a las drogas y problemas cardíacos.Maradona es uno de esos individuos que llegó lejos en la cancha de fútbol, pero que despilfarró todo afuera de ella. Su triste final pone de manifiesto que de nada vale brillar ante los reflectores si el resto de la existencia está oscura.

La tension ne retombe pas au Maroc. Quatre jours après la finale perdue par les Lions de l'Atlas, la plaie est toujours béante. Et dans la presse, le ton monte. Le site marocain Le Desk estime que « même si les décisions de disqualification immédiate en plein match restent extrêmement rares, dans les conditions vécues à Rabat et dans le contexte du parasitage de la veille orchestré par les Sénégalais, la sanction était parfaitement envisageable. (…) Cette finale 2025 crée un précédent délicat pour les instances du football africain et international, poursuit Le Desk. Si le Sénégal s'en tire finalement avec son titre et des sanctions probables pour son sélectionneur, le message envoyé est ambigu : quitter le terrain en plein match pour protester contre une décision arbitrale n'entraîne pas automatiquement la disqualification, pour peu que l'on revienne jouer ». La « sanction ultime » ! Le site marocain 360 hausse le ton : « seule une sanction exemplaire du Sénégal peut éviter que l'on assassine une deuxième fois le football. La CAF doit frapper fort, sans trembler, fulmine 360, et la Fifa doit se tenir à ses côtés pour aller au bout de la logique : retirer le trophée au Sénégal, retirer la prime de vainqueur, parce qu'on ne récompense pas un comportement qui met en danger l'essence même du football, et effacer les points Fifa engrangés sur une rencontre dont le déroulement normal a été altéré par un abandon temporaire et des incidents graves. Et il faut assumer la sanction ultime, rajoute encore le site marocain : disqualifier l'équipe du Sénégal des prochaines échéances internationales, y compris le Mondial. Car à ce niveau, l'exemplarité de la sanction n'est pas seulement un devoir, mais une obligation ». « Communautarisme émotionnel » Il faut dire que cette défaite du Maroc en finale de la CAN a pris des allures de catastrophe nationale. Interrogé par le magazine Tel Quel, la sociologue Leila Bouasria explique : « une grande douleur pèse sur "notre" cœur depuis la fin de ce fameux match. Un sentiment d'injustice "nous" prend aux tripes. Le football, comme tout rituel collectif, est un révélateur. Il donne une occasion d'expression à ce qui n'a pas toujours l'espace pour se dire. Le Maroc a fait une belle CAN et il ne manquait que la victoire en finale pour couronner ce récit de succès. Ce n'est pas une simple déception sportive, c'est le sentiment d'assister, impuissants, au dénouement inattendu d'une espérance collective longuement nourrie ». De plus, souligne la sociologue marocaine, « les réseaux sociaux sont des machines à amplifier ce communautarisme émotionnel. En quelques heures, des milliers de personnes qui ne se connaissent pas se retrouvent à vibrer ensemble, se répéter les mêmes phrases et à désigner le même ennemi. Un match de football n'est jamais qu'un match de football. C'est une scène où se rejouent, sous forme condensée et ritualisée, des drames qui nous dépassent ». Apaisement ? En tout cas, « Dakar et Rabat appellent au calme », note le quotidien sénégalais Le Soleil. « Le Premier ministre sénégalais, Ousmane Sonko, a annoncé s'être "longuement entretenu" avec son homologue du Royaume du Maroc, Aziz Akhannouch. Les deux hommes ont promis de continuer à œuvrer, dans un esprit d'apaisement, de sérénité et de détente, à la consolidation des liens séculaires et très profonds qui unissent les deux pays ». « Le match diplomatique » : c'est le grand titre de Walf Quotidien qui note également que « le temps est à l'apaisement entre le Sénégal et le Maroc et qu'il est temps de faire baisser la tension entre les deux pays ». En pages intérieures, on peut lire ces lignes : « nous devons faire résilience sur ces comportements anti-sportifs qui nous auraient pourri la vie et faire baisser cette tension. Le sélectionneur des Lions, Pape Thiaw, s'est excusé auprès des autorités de la CAF, de nos propres autorités et de ses joueurs, pour avoir eu, le temps d'une tension extrême, un comportement d'entraîneur amateur. (…) Nous avons le devoir de nous reconcentrer sur les échéances à venir, comme la Coupe du Monde aux États-Unis. (…) Pourvu que nos Lions nous apprennent à aller danser sur le toit du monde, plutôt qu'au bord d'un volcan ».
MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 21st Publish Date: January 21st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, January 21st and Happy Birthday to Jack Nicklaus I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Seventh-grader Ella Grace Beard from Marietta Middle School clinched the top spot at the Marietta City Schools spelling bee on Friday, sealing her victory with the word “allergenic.” The competition was intense—10 students, each a champion from their school, battled it out for 26 rounds. Now, Ella Grace is headed to the Georgia District 2 spelling bee in Cherokee County. Her dad, Jason Beard, couldn’t be prouder. “She’s been studying like crazy—she even got a dictionary for Christmas last year,” he shared. Superintendent Grant Rivera, who handed out trophies to Ella Grace and runner-up Sreenika Arcot, called the spelling bee one of the most stressful events of the year. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, praised the event as a celebration of intelligence. Words like “archetype” and “tenement” challenged the spellers, but Ella Grace rose to the occasion. Now, she’s ready for the next round. STORY 2: Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens had a simple message at the Cobb Chamber luncheon: when Atlanta thrives, the whole region wins. Borrowing JFK’s famous line, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” Dickens made it clear that Atlanta’s success ripples far beyond city limits. Take the FIFA World Cup, for example. Starting in June, Atlanta will host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the impact? It’ll stretch across the metro—Cobb County, Truist Park, Six Flags, Marietta Square. Through “Showcase Atlanta,” a leadership initiative chaired by Dickens, Arthur Blank, and UPS CEO Carol Tomé, the city plans to maximize the World Cup’s economic impact while spotlighting Atlanta’s culture and hospitality. And it’s not just about FIFA—Atlanta’s hosting the Super Bowl in 2028 and the NCAA Final Four in 2031. But Dickens didn’t shy away from challenges. With the metro population expected to grow by 1.8 million by 2050, he stressed the need for affordable housing and better transportation. “Teachers, first responders—they’re being priced out of the communities they serve. That’s a loss for all of us,” he said. And traffic? Atlanta’s infamous for it. Dickens wants to change that, starting with MARTA expansion into Cobb and Gwinnett. “We can’t keep doing this one-person-per-car thing forever,” he said. Dickens closed with a reminder: safety, health, opportunity—these aren’t partisan issues. “We all want thriving communities,” he said. “That’s something we can all agree on.” STORY 3: Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty Jordan Dean, 30, of Marietta, is facing an animal cruelty charge after what authorities describe as a heartbreaking case involving his Great Dane, Snoop. On Oct. 23, 2025, Dean reportedly brought Snoop to Cobb County Animal Services, claiming he’d found the dog as a stray near a Walgreens on Canton Road. But Snoop’s condition told a different story. Severely emaciated, his ribs and bones jutted out—no fat, barely any muscle. A cruelty exam scored Snoop at 1/9 on the body condition scale. He weighed just 50 pounds. After care, he reached 107 pounds with no medical issues causing the weight loss. Dean was arrested Jan. 5 and released the next day on a $10,000 bond.

Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Where the sidewalk ends: Mableton mayor talks SPLOST goals Mableton Mayor Michael Owens has his sights set on two big priorities: public safety and economic growth. And with the upcoming vote on a 1% special sales tax (SPLOST), he sees a chance to make it happen. If approved, the 2028 SPLOST would bring $97.6 million to Mableton—its first time creating its own project list since becoming a city in 2022. For Owens, it’s a defining moment. Top of the list? Sidewalks. “It’s the one thing everyone’s asking for,” Owens said, pointing to gaps along Veterans Memorial Highway and Nickajack Road. Parks, neighborhoods, and even businesses are disconnected, making walking unsafe—or impossible. But sidewalks are just the start. Owens envisions SPLOST funds going toward civic spaces, recreation centers, and even office parks to attract businesses. “You drive down Veterans Memorial, and it’s all shopping centers—no office buildings, no tech parks. That has to change,” he said. For Owens, the November vote is more than a tax—it’s a chance for Mableton residents to shape their city’s future. STORY 5: Marietta Police paint vibrant interrogation room for child witnesses, victims The Marietta Police Department has turned one of its interview rooms into something truly special—a space designed with kids in mind. Gone are the cold, blank walls. In their place? A vibrant, hand-painted mural that feels more like a storybook than a police station. It’s colorful, calming, and, most importantly, comforting—created to help children, especially those who’ve experienced trauma, feel a little less scared during tough conversations. Marietta High School art teachers Amanda Rudolph and Katherine Robinson, along with students from the National Art Honor Society, poured their hearts into this project. The department’s goal? To make sure every child feels protected and heard. Break: STORY 6: Mableton earns recognition as environmentally friendly city Mableton just snagged some serious recognition for going green. Mayor Michael Owens and city council members accepted the Silver-level Green Communities certification from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). It’s a big deal—proof that the city’s making real moves to cut its environmental impact. How’d they do it? Think tree preservation ordinances, a community composting program, expanded recycling, and even switching to a 100% electric vehicle fleet. Practical stuff with long-term impact. The certification also boosts Mableton’s chances for state and federal grants, meaning more investment without raising taxes. The Green Communities program evaluates cities on their environmental performance, and Mableton’s efforts earned them a spot among metro Atlanta’s leaders. But the work doesn’t stop here—the certification lasts four years, and the city will need to keep proving its commitment to stay certified. STORY 7: Senate bill would hold down property tax increases that fund Georgia schools Georgia lawmakers are back at it, debating how to handle property taxes—and this time, they’re eyeing a cap tied to inflation. A new bill from Senate Republicans would force all school systems to limit property tax hikes, even as rising home values push assessments higher. Here’s the twist: last year, 71% of Georgia’s school systems voted to reject a similar cap. Why? Because it slashes funding for education. If this bill passes, schools would lose the ability to tax property values that outpace inflation, leaving them scrambling to cover costs. Sen. Chuck Hufstetler, the bill’s sponsor, argues it’s about fairness. The bill would also impact city and county governments that opted out of last year’s cap. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones called it a priority, saying it’s about “putting more money back in Georgians’ pockets.” Meanwhile, other tax proposals are swirling at the Capitol—like eliminating income taxes or ending homestead property taxes altogether. Gov. Brian Kemp? He’s pushing for tax rebates and a slight income tax cut. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Cette finale de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations de football entre les Lions de l'Atlas et les Lions de la Teranga continue de faire couler beaucoup d'encre dans les journaux du continent… Au Sénégal, c'est l'effusion. « Le retour des héros », s'exclame Le Soleil en première page. « S'adressant aux double champions d'Afrique, hier soir à leur arrivée à Dakar, le président sénégalais, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, rapporte le journal, a salué une victoire acquise avec panache et responsabilité. "Vous aviez à cœur de ramener cette coupe et vous l'avez fait de manière héroïque, a-t-il dit, en produisant du beau jeu, dans le fair-play et avec un comportement exemplaire, sur et en dehors du terrain" ». Ressentiments… Un comportement exemplaire ? Non, rétorque-t-on au Maroc. Les incidents lors de la finale, notamment le retour aux vestiaires des joueurs sénégalais après le pénalty contesté ne passent pas. De même que les critiques répétées de certaines équipes à l'encontre du corps arbitral qui aurait favorisé le Maroc tout au long de la compétition. Le journal marocain en ligne Le Desk ne mâche pas ses mots : « pourquoi le Maroc devrait-il continuer à tant investir pour le football africain si c'est pour être traité de la sorte ? Pourquoi offrir des infrastructures de classe mondiale, former des générations de joueurs, accueillir des équipes sans moyens, si chaque décision arbitrale défavorable aux adversaires devient prétexte à accusation de corruption ? Le football africain a besoin de nations locomotives. Le Maroc a endossé ce rôle avec générosité et ambition. Mais, conclut Le Desk, la générosité, même si elle est conçue dans une logique de soft power, a ses limites quand elle se heurte à l'ingratitude, et l'ambition vacille face à l'injustice ». « Un réel ressentiment », pointe Le Monde Afrique. À tel point que « la logorrhée haineuse, habituellement cantonnée aux comptes anonymes sur les réseaux sociaux, a gagné des journalistes, des fonctionnaires, d'anciens diplomates et même des responsables sportifs marocains qui appellent désormais, implicitement, à réévaluer les rapports entre le Maroc et le Sénégal, pourtant qualifié de "pays frère" par Mohammed VI ». D'ailleurs, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, « la Fédération royale marocaine de football n'a pas tardé à réagir. Au lendemain de la finale, celle-ci a déclaré qu'elle engagerait des poursuites judiciaires auprès de la CAF et de la FIFA, arguant que l'attitude de l'équipe sénégalaise "a fortement perturbé le déroulement du match et affecté la performance des joueurs marocains" ». Des sanctions ? Que risque le Sénégal ?, s'interroge le site Senego. « S'il y a une décision disciplinaire suite à la sortie momentanée de la pelouse, les sanctions possibles sont généralement : amendes, avertissements, et parfois sanctions individuelles (joueur ou membre du staff), selon les faits retenus. (…) Mais restons sereins, claironne Senego. La 2e étoile est gravée. Nous avons gagné sur le terrain ». D'après Afrik Foot, « le sélectionneur Pape Thiaw serait sous le coup d'une suspension d'au moins quatre matches et d'une amende de 10 000 dollars. » En tout cas, affirme WalfQuotidien à Dakar, « nous invitons les instances du football à faire preuve d'équité, de raison et de lucidité. Les Sénégalais ont beaucoup subi au fil des CAN : injustices arbitrales, conditions logistiques défaillantes, comportements déloyaux sur le terrain. Cette finale n'a fait que rappeler ce que des générations de Lions ont déjà enduré ». Levier psychologique ? Enfin, Afrik.com veut voir le verre à moitié plein. « Au réveil, cette défaite des Lions de l'Atlas ressemble à un rendez-vous manqué, mais elle actera peut-être le véritable basculement du football marocain, affirme le site panafricain. (…) Cette finale perdue contre le Sénégal doit servir de laboratoire grandeur nature avant le Mondial nord-américain. Apprendre à "tuer" un match, maîtriser ses nerfs dans le chaos et privilégier l'efficacité au geste iconique. Voilà la feuille de route pour le 14 juin 2026 et l'entrée en lice des Lions de l'Atlas face au Brésil, excusez du peu. La fenêtre est courte, mais cette défaite offre au sélectionneur un levier psychologique idéal pour renforcer son groupe ».

Today we are joined by Luiz Guilherme Burlamaqui, author of The Making of Global FIFA: Cold War Politics and the Rise of João Havelange to the FIFA Presidency, 1950-1974 (De Gruyter, 2023). This book was previously published in Portuguese as A Dança das Cadeiras a eleição de João Havelange à presidenência da FIFA (1950-1974). In our conversation, we discussed João Havelange's rise to FIFA's presidency, how the FIFA leader crafted his own legacy, and the difficulties of publishing work in translation. In The Making of Global FIFA, Burlamaqui argues that while Havelange was the FIFA president that signed the first deal with Coca Cola, his election was not a radical departure from “pure” football into commercialization. Far from a tale of British stiffness and Brazilian flexibility, Burlamaqui shows a longer and interconnected history of FIFA's global expansion. Former FIFA president Stanley Rous was less conservative than critics alleged. Havelange was more conservative than many assumed, happy to work with entrenched forces across the political and sporting worlds. Burlamaqui conducted extensive archival research in Brazil, the UK, and at FIFA and the IOC in Switzerland. His compelling argument demonstrates the contingency of Havelange's rise. His success was tied intimately to the domestic politics of the military regime and diplomatic efforts of Brazil in the 1970s. He was also the beneficiary of global forces: the Cold War, decolonization, and the growing resistance to racial oppression. Unlike many other sports scholars, Burlamaqui also argues that what happened on the field mattered: Havelange relied on the field prowess of the seleção. The book proceeds chronologically. The first chapter shines a new light on FIFA President Stanley Rous. Rous steered FIFA from the middle – between the conservatism of Swiss Ernst Thommen and the radicalism of the Yugoslavian Mihailo Andrejevic. Burlamaqui thus characterizes Rous' tenure as setting the stage for Havelange's globalization. Chapters 2 and 3 offer biographical examinations of Havelange and situate his personal history into the broader story of Brazil and the globe. His rise in Brazil's sportocracy was not simple: he served on both the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the Brazilian Sports Confederation. In the latter, he was heavily criticized for Brazil's failure at the 1966 World Cup. Yet Havelange benefitted from the interplay between the Brazilian business and military communities during the military regime (1964-1985). In preparation for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, Havelange developed a “Mexico Plan” and gambled his success on a seleção victory. When the national team delivered and raised the Jules Rimet for the third time, Havelange cemented his position. Chapter 4 is the crux of the book, where Burlamaqui shows how decolonization, ideas about development, and the myth of Brazilian racial equality intersected to make the Brazilain sportocrat a strong candidate for FIFA's 1974 Presidential election. Havelange campaigned with the support of his allies at home and abroad. He sold a particular vision of Brazil: a model of developed decolonization that was charting a third path between the United States and the Soviet Union. He appealed especially to FIFA officials from the “Third World”, sending emissaries to Africa and Asia, and even allegedly helping to pay off some of their FIFA dues to win their votes. In chapter 5, Burlamaqui explains who voted for Havelange. Havelange mobilized support from new FIFA countries, benefiting from the rise of China, the support of the communist bloc, and the disunity of Europe. Burlamaqui's deeply researched and convincing account opens new avenues for research into sports bureaucrats. The Making of Global FIFA: Cold War Politics and the Rise of João Havelange to the FIFA Presidency, 1950-1974 will be of interest to scholars interested in global football, FIFA, and sports diplomacy.

The Department of Homeland Security is launching a new office focused on unmanned aircraft systems that will oversee strategic investments in drone and counter-drone technologies. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in the Monday press release: “We are entering a new era to defend our air superiority to protect our borders and the interior of the United States. This will help us continue to secure the border and cripple the cartels, protect our infrastructure, and keep Americans safe as they attend festivities and events during a historic year of America's 250th birthday and FIFA 2026.” The creation of the dedicated office builds on preceding efforts to beef up drone and counter-drone technologies. In December, FEMA awarded $250 million in grants for counter-drone capabilities to the 11 states hosting FIFA World Cup 2026 matches and Washington, D.C. DHS also expanded authorization the same month to allow state and local law enforcement to combat drone threats, according to the announcement. The department is also fielding proposals from industry partners for a $1.5 billion contract that will facilitate the procurement of these technologies for Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The new Program Executive Office has “already begun its work,” according to DHS. The drone-focused entity is finalizing a $115 million investment in counter technologies that will support the two upcoming celebrations. The funding and focus come amid heightened risks regarding threat actors' use of unmanned aircraft systems. DHS said Monday that the agency has conducted 1,500-plus missions to address illicit drone activities since 2018. Unauthorized drones have impeded sporting events, disrupted public gatherings and sparked concern among residents. Calls on Congress to put money into the Technology Modernization Fund may have been answered — albeit at much lower levels than what the General Services Administration-run funding vehicle for agency IT projects has been accustomed to. Senate and House Appropriations Committee lawmakers released a package of conferenced bills Sunday to fund several federal agencies through the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, including GSA. Tucked into the 488-page agreement was a note that $5 million would be provided to the TMF, “to remain available until expended.” The appropriations bills must still be passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president before the funding can take effect. The potential funding comes as the TMF expired last month for the first time since it was created in 2017, freezing nearly $200 million in funding for agency technology projects. The program has enjoyed bipartisan support since its launch nearly a decade ago: former Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., was a staunch advocate for the program until his death from cancer last year, while Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has led a sustained push for TMF's reauthorization. The fund has similarly strong backing from civic technologists and industry groups, and a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told FedScoop last month that its reauthorization was a “high priority” that the Office of Management and Budget also supported. Nevertheless, efforts to get TMF reauthorization through the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act didn't pan out, leaving the program out in the cold.

Imagine creating a swimsuit so good it would have to be banned. That's what Jason Rance and his team at Speedo did ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games in August 2008. Wearing the LZR Racer swimsuit, United States swimmer Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Water Cube. Athletes wearing the swimsuit would shatter 30 world records in the space of three months.The reduction in skin friction drag was so significant, some called it "technological doping". The suit developed with space agency Nasa had no seams, featured a special water-repellent fabric and had a design covering the legs which lifted the swimmer's hips in the water. It caused a furore with athletes ditching sponsorship agreements with rival firms to get hold of it. A slew of copycats came on the market before the design was banned from future competitions. Jason Rance who was the head of Speedo's research and development Aqualab, reveals to Josephine McDermott the behind-the-scenes development which would turn competitive swimming on its head.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony.
