Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool’s upcoming European tie with Manchester City is not a distraction ahead of the weekend’s trip to Crystal Palace as he claims both fixtures have Champions League implications. When asked which fixture had greater significance for the season, Klopp abruptly replied: “Crystal Palace this weekend. “[City] will be very important then, but not at the moment. No balance. We play Crystal Palace with all we have, with all intensity, with all concentration. “For a player or manager of Liverpool, everything is at least about qualification for the Champions League. “Both games are about qualification for the…

Last year, in response to Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the BET Awards, Geraldo Rivera argued that “hip-hop music has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism.” Like any good FOX News commentator, Rivera continues to stand by his nonsensical take — even when presented with irrefutable evidence and well-reasoned arguments to the contrary. This week, Rivera sat down for an interview on SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning. Promoting his egotistically titled new memoir, The Geraldo Show, Rivera first addressed the sexual harassment scandal that plagued FOX before Sway swung the conversation towards race relations. After talking about himself for…
