(CNN) — Aaron Rodgers has continued to advocate for the legalization of some psychedelics, claiming this week that ayahuasca helped to improve his performance on the football field.Speaking in Denver, Colorado, at Psychedelic Science 2023, which calls itself the largest psychedelic conference in history, the NFL quarterback referred to his experience of using ayahuasca, a drink made from Amazonian plants that contain a psychoactive ingredient.“It’s going to be hard to cancel me because the previous year [in 2019] – 26 touchdowns, four interceptions, we had a good season,” Rodgers, who was then playing for the Green Bay Packers, said on Wednesday. “Ayahuasca – 48 touchdowns, five interceptions, MVP. What are you gonna say?”Rodgers has often been the subject of ridicule for embracing alternative therapies, but has previously credited psychedelics like psilocybin and ayahuasca for helping to alleviate his fear of death and deepening a sense of self-love.The NFL has confirmed that takin...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:07 GMT

Jerusalem (CNN) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning Sunday instructing Jewish settlers not to “grab land illegally” in the occupied West Bank, after humanitarian bodies raised the alarm over a series of deadly attacks on Palestinian villagers.At the same time, Netanyahu repeatedly endorsed the construction of settlements approved by the government, which are considered illegal under international law.“Calls to grab land illegally and actions of grabbing land illegally, are unacceptable to me. They undermine law and order in Judea and Samaria [West Bank] and must stop immediately,” he said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.“Not only will we not back such actions, our government will take strong action against them.“These calls and actions do not strengthen settlement – on the contrary, they hurt it. I say this as someone who doubled settlement in Judea and Samaria despite great and unprecedented international pressure to carry out withdrawals that I have n...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:07 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Luis Robert Jr. had two home runs among his three hits to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.Andrew Benintendi added two hits and Robert homered for the second straight game, raising his season total to 21, as the White Sox won their first series in four attempts. Chicago had lost nine of its last 13 games.“If he hits pitches in the strike zone, he’s going to do unbelievable damage and that’s what he’s done the last few days,” manager Pedro Grifol said about Robert. “He’s hunting for off-speeds up. He’s hitting fastballs. He’s not chasing as much. He’s a really damn good player. And he’s still 25 years old. He’s still learning the game. … There’s no doubt in my mind this guy’s an All-Star.”Chicago’s Jesse Scholtens (1-2) threw four scoreless innings to earn his first major league win. Keynan Middleton pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save.Adam Duvall had two doubles for the Red Sox, who had won seven of 10.“Unfortunatel...

Full rosters for the MLB All-Star Game will be announced July 2, and Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. continues to make a strong case.Robert homered twice in a 4-1 victory against the Boston Red Sox in front of 26,077 on Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field.“There’s no doubt in my mind this guy’s an All-Star,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “No doubt.”Robert is tied for fourth in the majors and is second in the American League with 21 home runs.“It will be a good accomplishment but that’s not my primary goal,” Robert said through an interpreter of a possible All-Star selection. “I want to carry this team to the playoffs and hopefully to the World Series. But it would definitely be an accomplishment if I’m selected to the All-Star Game.”Robert’s two-run homer — which barely cleared the center-field wall — against Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford in the fourth gave the White Sox a 2-1 l...

Red Sox promote No. 3 prospect Ceddanne Rafaela to Triple-A Worcester

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:07 GMT

One of Boston’s most promising prospects just got a lot closer, both literally and figuratively, to the big show.Ceddanne Rafaela found out about his promotion from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. He’s now just one level and about 40 miles, or 45 minutes (without Mass Pike traffic) from Fenway Park.It was somewhat surprising that Rafaela even began the season in Portland, after a standout performance in 2022 led to the organization’s Minor League Defensive Player of the Year award (and Baseball America’s Red Sox Minor League Player of the Year), a spot on the 40-man roster, and his first major league spring training. Currently the organization’s No. 3 prospect, the Curaçao native broke out last season when he moved from the infield to center field and became a one-man highlight reel.Rafaela’s defense is already described as Gold Glove-caliber; Double-A manager Chad Epperson made headlines last summer when he said that the young ...
