Leeroy Jenkins is a World of Warcraft character that actually started out as a meme from a player who displayed impulsive and reckless behavior during a raid. The clip showed Leeroy charging into battle without thinking about the consequences, ultimately leading to him and his group being killed numerous times. While Leeroy’s antics may seem foolish, they actually perfectly encapsulate the spirit of World of Warcraft as the game is all about taking risks and embracing the chaos of combat....

Yes, of course students must learn that the first slaves—an estimated 23 of them—arrived in Virginia in 1619, a year before the Mayflower. But they should also understand that at the time of this fateful encounter, the African slave trade to the New World had already been well established for more than a century, and that the United States played a relatively minor role in the cruel commerce in human beings that Madison denounced as “unnatural traffic” and “the barbarism of modern policy....
The last national champion before the fighting began, he knew that supporting the anti-government side in the five-year-old civil war would prevent him from being selected for the Rio Games. “I chose to be an athlete who participates in the revolution,” said Ahmad, who trains where he can for two hours a day – be it on a mattress on a soccer field, in a local hall or somersaulting off a wall....

Although their advantage could be cut on Sunday with Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool in action, the Italian has revised his goal for the final 10 matches....
After nearly 100,000 copies of the Bush bio were distributed in the fall of 1999, the book was abruptly recalled by its publisher, St. Martin’s Press, when it was disclosed that the book’s author, syndicated columnist and writer J.

But with World No. 23 Mexico missing Javier Hernandez due to injury, a glimmer of hope resides in the hearts of Costa Rica, currently the highest-ranked CONCACAF country in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking (No. 14).
