  4. 德拉海灘網賽|黃澤林復仇闖8強 「其實我哋係可以做到!」

    香港網球「一哥」黃澤林周四(19日)凌晨出戰ATP 250德拉海灘公開賽(Delray Beach Open)正賽次圈,直落兩盤6:4、7:6(7:4)擊敗世界排名29位的美國7號種子中島布蘭登(Brandon Nakashima),晉級8強兼報卻上次對賽一敗之仇。黃澤林賽後以廣東話接受訪問,他感謝球迷觀看直播支持自己,並指一直希望可以贏過這位對手:「希望我可以話到畀你哋知,其實我哋係可以做到!」

    世界排名137位的黃澤林從外圍賽連過兩關,首圈以盤數2:1擊敗排名44位的葡萄牙球手波哲斯(Nuno Borges),次圈挑戰29位的中島布蘭登。兩人此前曾於2024年的杭州公開賽對壘,當時黃澤林領先一盤下在第二盤6:5時錯失決勝分,結果遭逆轉。黃澤林今次首盤第三局早早破發下先贏6:4,第二盤再次於領先6:5時被對手迫入決勝局,不過今次未讓對手逆轉,以細分7:4贏得第二盤鎖...

    世界排名136位的黃澤林被列為外圍賽6號種子,首圈迎戰排名157位的西岡良仁未受考驗,大勝6:2、6:2晉級。Coleman昨與排名102位的Tristan Schoolkate爭入正賽,港將開局即進入狀態,第一局即打破對手發球局,再順利保發領先2:0建立優勢,雖然第3局他曾面臨2個破發危機,但憑發勁發球逐一化解,最終以6:4先下一城。

    第2盤雙方頭6局互保發球局,戰至第7局黃澤林取得關鍵破發領先4:...

  10. #Protesters in #SouthFlorida to fight back against state orders to remove #RainbowCrosswalks

    Walter Murphy, August 25, 2025

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — "Protesters are expected to hit the streets of South Florida Monday to fight back against state orders to remove rainbow crosswalks in places like #FortLauderdale, #MiamiBeach and #KeyWest.

    "Four crosswalks in Fort Lauderdale are in the crosshairs of the Florida Department of Transportation.

    "The state recently sent the city a non-compliance letter, demanding the different designs and murals be removed.

    " 'It’s an attempt to try to erase the presence of anything to do with the #LGBTQCommunity,' Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said.

    "The state sent similar letters to Miami Beach, Key West and #DelrayBeach, citing safety issues, but Trantalis says it has nothing to do with safety.

    " 'It could be the gay community this year -- who knows what’s going to be next year,' he said. 'We don’t know where they are going to keep trying to eliminate the diversity of what represents Florida.'

    "Two of the crosswalks in Fort Lauderdale on the state’s list are along Breakers Avenue at Terramar and Riomar streets.

    "Another one is at East Las Olas Boulevard and Almond Avenue, and the final one is at Sebastian Street along A1A.

    "That will be the site of one of two demonstrations against #FDOT’s order set for Monday night.

    "Both protests were organized by #EricSwanson, who is better known as #MissBouvèé.

    " 'A crosswalk doesn’t define us,' Miss. Bouvèé said. 'It’s the principle of the fact (that) it symbolizes a safe space for us.'

    " 'I am outraged by the State of Florida’s decision to forcefully remove #PrideCrosswalks — symbols of love, support, and unity in our communities,' Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Thursday.

    " 'These vibrant installations are more than paint on pavement. They reflect the values we hold dear in Miami-Dade: respect, appreciation of fellow neighbors, and the fundamental right to live and love openly,' she said in a statement.

    "The warnings to communities across Florida come after last week’s removal of a rainbow-colored crossing marking the 2016 massacre outside the #PulseNightclub in #Orlando, where 49 people were gunned down. It was painted over in the middle of the night by work crews, but has since been restored by a group of demonstrators."

    "The issue has been simmering since a July 1 directive from U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who gave U.S. governors 60 days to identify what he called safety improvements.

    " 'Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork,' Duffy said in a statement at the time.

    "The Federal Highway Administration said in a statement Friday to The Associated Press that Duffy 'has made every state receiving federal dollars responsible for identifying hazards on their roads.'

    :Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday amplified those comments, saying on X: 'We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.'

    "A statement from FDOT said the agency has a duty 'to ensure the safety and consistency of public roadways and transportation systems.'

    " 'That means ensuring our roadways are not utilized for social, political, or ideological interests,' it said.

    Efforts to remove the crosswalks are 'clearly an #AntiLGBTQ push on behalf of both the federal government and the copycat version from the state government,' said Rand Hoch, founder of the Palm Beach County #HumanRights Council.

    " 'They’re basically blackmailing municipalities, counties and states by saying if you don’t do this, we’re going to withhold funding,' Hoch said. 'It’s absolutely ridiculous.'

    "It is unclear whether other states and communities outside Florida are being ordered to remove rainbow crossings, but Florida is often the vanguard nationwide in fights over what some call the culture wars of politics. Those include battles over the removal of #LibraryBooks deemed inappropriate by #DeSantis and other Republicans.

    "In Key West, state transportation officials said that if pavement markings in its historic downtown aren’t removed by Sept. 3, 'the Florida Department of Transportation will remove them by any appropriate method necessary without further notice.' In a letter to Key West’s city manager, federal authorities also threatened the 'immediate withholding' of state funds if it finds 'additional violations.'

    "The Aug. 15 letter to Key West leaders said that many local communities in Florida 'immediately began undertaking actions to ensure compliance.' It did not specify how many communities have cooperated or what steps they have taken.

    "Miami Beach has also been ordered to remove its rainbow crosswalk on Ocean Drive by the first week of September."
