I mean, the Chinese can't even put on an Olympic event without instructing the restaurants in Beijing to take dog off the menu. Oops. As the AP reports, "Waiters and waitresses should 'patiently' suggest other options to diners who order dog, it said, quoting city tourism bureau Vice Director Xiong Yumei. At least Asian men still have huge penises. Dog meat off the menu during Beijing Olympics [MSNBC]

Felipe Anderson will not be leaving West Ham United this summer, according to Sky Sports and their sources.
Anderson arrived to the London Stadium in 2018 for club transfer record of £35 million, and he has adapted to the challenges of the Premier League very well, scoring nine goals and laying on five assists in 36 games he has played in all competitions this season.
