Calacus Weekly Hit & Miss – Premiership Rugby & NWSL coaches

Every week we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the previous week.

HIT - PREMIERSHIP RUGBY

Mental health challenges have been on the increase, especially with the advent of social media and the Covid-19 lockdowns.

So it was great to see Premiership Rugby team up with the Rugby Players Association (RPA) to dedicate Round 24 of Gallagher Premiership Rugby to the Restart charity, focusing on our players’ mental health.

Restart – the Official Charity of the RPA – is dedicated to supporting professional rugby players suffering from serious injury, illness, or hardship.

The charity provides financial and practical support to players and their families during difficult times, including help with the cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation equipment and disability support.

Every penny raised from Restart Round will go directly to supporting current and former players' struggling with serious injury illness or hardship, with the charity providing advisory, practical, and financial support to help those in need.

Importantly, the funds raised will also support players’ mental health through a 24/7 Confidential Counselling Service that is accessible to over 800 current and 400 former professional players.

The service is a discreet, safe lifeline for players finding it difficult to open up and take the first step and includes a free 24/7 telephone helpline for players to call at any time, from anywhere in the world when they need help or someone to speak to.

From there, players are able to access a trained professional who will be able to provide free one-to-one support and help around issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, coping with injury, relationship issues, career transition and bereavement.

Alongside all 13 Gallagher Premiership Rugby clubs, Premiership Rugby are also supporting this crucial Restart Round and will help to raise awareness even further.

Former England flanker and Restart Rugby Trustee, James Haskell, said: "As a former rugby player, I’ve seen first-hand the huge impact the game can have on players’ physical and emotional wellbeing.

"That’s why I’m extremely proud to be a Restart Trustee, helping to ensure that Restart can continue to be a lifeline for players experiencing their toughest times.

"I hope you’ll join me and all the Gallagher Premiership Rugby clubs as we aim to raise vital funds and awareness for players’ mental health during Round 24. Thank you for all your support."

Leicester Tigers fly-half, Freddie Burns, said: “I have been around the game long enough to know that things don’t always go to plan. It is great that players across the league have an organisation like Restart, who are there to help when things are tough.”

England and Bristol Bears scrum-half, Harry Randall, said: “It’s not talked about as much but playing professional rugby can impact your mental health just as much as your physical health. That’s why it’s so reassuring to know we have a charity like Restart to turn to when times get difficult.”

As many as 25 per cent of rugby players experience poor mental health, with cultures of toxic masculinity within the sport often leading to depression, increased stress, substance abuse and suicide.

However Premiership Rugby are not shirking from their duty of care, and through initiatives like the Restart Round, are stepping up and tackling these issues head on.

MISS – NWSL COACHES

Housten Dash head coach and general manager James Clarkson has become the fourth head coach in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) to be stood down as a result of the league’s investigation into “current and historic complaints of discrimination, harassment and abuse”.

The Dash have suspended Clarkson with immediate effect, with the move coming following a league-wide investigation, which was initiated after complaints of sexual misconduct against Paul Riley, former North Carolina Courage head coach.

Riley – who denies the allegations – was fired by the Courage.

Since then, Washington Spirit coach Richie Burke has been fired following sexual harassment allegations and Chicago Red Stars coach Rory Dames stepped down following similar claims.

Both Burke and Dames also deny the accusations.

Clarkson’s suspension was recommended by the NWSL as well as the league’s players’ association (NWSLPA), with The Dash suggesting that his future would be decided after the investigation’s full findings are released.

The Dash intend to name an interim head coach soon with assistant coach Sarah Lowdon taking control in the interim.

They said in a statement: “The Houston Dash announced that it has suspended head coach and general manager James Clarkson, effective immediately.

“The suspension comes in light of initial findings, received this week, from the joint NWSL and NWSLPA investigation that was launched last year to review current and historic complaints of discrimination, harassment and abuse.

“An ultimate decision about Clarkson’s future with the Dash will be made based on the final results of the ongoing investigation.

“As an organization, our highest priority is creating and maintaining a safe and respectful work environment for our players and staff, which we believe is critical to our success on the pitch. The club has made counseling services available to all members of the organization interested.”

Commenting on the Clarkson suspension, NWSLPA executive director Meghann Burke said: “Players made a promise to ourselves and future generations to transform our league – not through words, but with our actions. This shows that our joint investigation is doing the work of systemic transformation. The work continues, and we commend players for speaking up and speaking out.”

The NWSL investigation has been looking into multiple allegations of workplace misconduct towards the league’s players.

Acknowledgement of the systemic, deep-rooted problem of abuse within the league forced the resignation of NWSL commissioner Lisa Baird last year.

Current NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said: “I want to thank the players and staff throughout the league who have participated in the overall investigation thus far, and assure them, as well as our fans and partners, that we will deliver on our promise to create a workplace where players and staff are empowered to succeed in a healthy and safe environment.”

The Clarkson suspension means that the NWSL season is getting underway where it left off - under a cloud.

However, the right actions are being taken by the NWSL and NWSLPA in order to put in place a system for players to be able to bring forward concerns.

Having women in key roles will help the league move on from one of the most difficult times it has faced.

USA World Cup winner Kelley O'Hara told the BBC that having women in key NWSL roles will help to address the problems, with Michele Kang becoming the Washington Spirit's majority owner.

O’Hara said: "Having women involved in decision-making positions is so important for this league and I was extremely grateful that our ownership debacle has been settled and Michele Kang is now leading this franchise.

"She's already shown an immense step forward and just an understanding and an ability to listen to the players and support the players how we feel we need to be supported.

"I definitely think that having women, and especially women of colour, in those roles is immensely important."

Hopefully this marks the turning of the page after a dark chapter in the history of the National Women’s Soccer League but after so many scandals in recent years, there is clearly a lot of work to be done so women feel confident and safe playing the game.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Day No. 2, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Sept. 30, 2023

Leyla McCalla controls the weather.

An overcast day in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park suddenly turned sun-soaked when the former Carolina Chocolate Drop sang: My face to the sun as she performed Our Native Daughters’ “I Knew I Could Fly” during her Sept. 30 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass set on the Towers of Gold Stage.

“That’s awesome,” she said mid-verse as the Earth’s star emerged from the afternoon clouds.

Following the electric and steel guitar instrumentals of Hermanos Gutiérrez on the adjacent Swan stage and playing cello, banjo and electric guitar, backed with rhythm section and electric guitar, McCalla covered Kendrick Lamar’s “Crown” and offered a gumbo of New Orleanian, Haitian and American music delivered in English and Haitian Creole while showcasing her the Capitalist Blues and Breaking the Thermometer LPs.

The Sound Biteses’ day had begun in the pre-noon fog with the down-in-the-holler, old-time string music of Dry Branch Fire Squad playing the songs of Gillian Welch, Doc Watson and Bill Monroe on the Banjo stage. Later, it was gospel from the McCrary Sisters, who sung Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground,” “Amazing Grace” and other numbers backed by a full band during short, five- to 15-minute sets on the Rooster stage, where Brennan Leigh offered a lunchtime menu of traditional country music.

It was also on the Rooster that Emmylou Harris previewed her Sunday appearance by guesting with Shawn Camp and Verlon Thompson and closing their Doc Watson tribute set with Guy Clark’s “Old Friends.”

Shortly afterward, Bettye LaVette sauntered onstage to deliver her grinding version of Bob Dylan’s “Things Have Changed.” From here, it was an impassioned reading of songs from the Randall Bramblett-written LaVette! album as the singer prowled the stage and proved her 77 years have cost her nothing in vocal prowess and stage presence.

“If I could write, this is what I would have said,” LaVette said in introducing the new songs, which worked better on stage than on wax.

Rickie Lee Jones attracted a ginormous crowd to Banjo - “I haven’t seen so many people in front of me for so long,” she said, soaking it in - and their enthusiasm rubbed off. Jones, whose band included Vilray on guitar and vocals, plus accordion and bass, was animated as she danced around the stage and crooned like a lounge singer when she wasn’t playing guitar, banjo or piano.

Opening with a radically rearranged “Danny’s All-Star Joint” more suited for the streets of New Orleans than the fields of Golden Gate, Jones went on to perform “I Won’t Grow Up” - for the first time, she said - “Last Chance Texaco,” “We Belong Together” and a sinewy rendition of Steely Dan’s “Show Biz Kids” that found Jones lifting her orange sweater to sing of the Rickie Lee T-shirt beneath.

Give RLJ the MVP for turning in HSB No. 2’s No. 1 gig.

Faced with the quintessential festivalgoers’ dilemma, Mr. and Mrs. Sound Bites split the last hour between Steve Earle’s uncharacteristically sleepy solo-acoustic set on the Banjo and Irma Thomas’ barnburner R&B/soul revival at the Rooster.

At 82, Thomas played the day’s most rambunctious set, ripping into “Time is on My Side” and getting the audience bouncing and waving their handkerchiefs on her mashup of “I Done Got Over It” -> “Iko Iko” -> “Hey Pocky Way” -> “I Done Got Over It.” That one might be ringing through Golden Gate’s trees along with the birdsong for some time to come.

Read Sound Bites’ coverage of HSB Day One here.

Some of the gifts that Harry gets for his 44th birthday...

His parents (read: his mother) get him a handsome new watch and a box of Hattie’s homemade fudge.

Theo gets him cufflinks.

Randall and Rhys get him tickets to take him to the only musical Harry enjoys: Mamma Mia.

Lizzie gives him a lovingly and beautifully painted landscape of Hawthorn covered in snow.

Gwen enthusiastically makes him a wonky scarf and uses it as wrapping for the new book on the history of fingerprinting that he’s been wanting.

Esslyn gives Harry the hood ornament from the car he learned to drive in (and the car that started his hobby), all nice and displayed in a little glass topped box.

The McIntyres get him a lovely new cast iron pan and invite him over for dinner the next week to test it out.

In canon with Lee and the kids

Lee makes Harry breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He dotes on his husband for the entire day and when they do presents after dinner, Harry receives an exquisite copy of his favourite Conan Doyle and three loving crafted and illustrated birthday cards from his children. He can’t help but smile.

#[headcannons]#harry is a huge gift giver and a very reluctant gift receiver #he's so loved but so oblivious of the fact #for his 45th randall is gonna get him a plaque that says 'youre old now'

10/13/2023

I was back in high school and I had to sit at a table in Geography class with a guy who really hated me for some reason. He tried various plans to murder or otherwise inconvenience me, but none of them worked. He stole my clothes so I had to go to class in a pair of tight black pants, but that didn't bother me (Never does in dreams, for some reason). Then he planned to sit next to me in the canteen while dressed as a Nazi (I don't know how this was meant to harm me), but that plan was foiled because the school implemented a new rule saying that Nazis had to sit at their own designated tables. (Not a rule I disagree with, I guess, but I feel like they could have done a lot more to help)

Finally he filled a backpack with bombs and left it somewhere he figured I would later be. I found it and handed it in to the Lost Property office, who gave it back to him. He exploded in a ball of green fire, while I had a picnic on the grass outside. I never found out why he was trying to kill me, but an XKCD comic came out saying it was probably because I did better than him on a test.
