San Francisco Supervisors Vote To Ban Chewing Tobacco From Baseball Fields

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday to ban chewing tobacco from sports fields, including in the city’s iconic baseball park.

San Francisco is the first city in the nation to approve such a measure, said Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids' President Matthew Myers in a statement.

Ottawa Lynx pitcher Anthony Telford spits a stream of chewing tobacco juice from his mouth during his a game at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1996.

San Francisco Supervisor Mark Farrell said children view athletes as role models, and that they do not want to send the message that chewing tobacco is OK or even necessary to become a great ballplayer, according to the Associated Press.

The ordinance needs another formal vote from the board next week, and then it will go to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee to sign. The ordinance would then take effect on Jan. 1.

Cincinnati Reds Manager Flips Out On Reporter And Drops 77 F-Bombs During Rant

Reds manager Bryan Price was angry at the professional question-asker for asking questions about the Reds.

It was a cloudy night in Cincinnati, and Reds manager Bryan Price made it rain expletives during Monday's meeting with reporters.

Price apparently felt it was too nosy of a question.

The manager was worried that opposing teams might read reports of his explanation and use it to gain a competitive advantage against the Reds, whose season is off to a slow start. The team was 5–7 before tonight's win over the even weaker Brewers.

Rosencrans reports:

"What followed was a five-minute, 34-second expletive-filled tirade. The final tally was 77 uses of the "F" word or a variant and 11 uses of a vulgar term for feces (two bovine, one equine)."

Your job is not to sniff out every f****** thing is about the Reds and f****** put it out there for every other f****** guy to hear. It's not your job. You want me to be candid with you? I've been candid with you. I f****** talk to you guys like men, I tell you what the f***'s going on with the team, I tell you how I'm feeling as candidly as I can and then this s***? You've got to watch this f****** s***? I've got to f****** read that on a f****** Tweet on our own people in here that we don't have a f****** player? How the f*** does that benefit the Reds? It doesn't benefit us one f****** bit. God **** we try to go out there and win f****** games and I got to come in here and then you guys f****** blow it all over the f****** place? Who we can play? Who we can't? I'll tell you what you want to know, I'm not going to f****** lie to you. I didn't tell you f****** s***.

Two Runners Got Engaged At The Boston Marathon Finish Line

Romance must be even sweeter when you’ve waited 26.2 miles for it.

Two years out from the bombing, this year's Boston Marathon, the world's oldest annual race of its length, was full of triumph.

Daniel Koh and Amy Sennett both ran the marathon as part of Team MR8, a group raising money in honor of Martin W. Richard, an 8-year-old bombing victim of the 2013 marathon.

This is their third time running Boston together since becoming running buddies at Harvard Business School in 2009.

"I knew that she was a cute blonde girl who was obviously smart, so I thought this was my in," Koh told the Boston Globe. "She kind of got me into the running, and that’s how we started."

But this time was special, because when they reached the finish line, Koh proposed. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh held the ring for Koh, his chief of staff, until the couple finished.

8 Soccer Fans Killed By Gunmen At Brazilian Clubhouse

Armed men invaded a soccer club on Saturday in São Paulo and killed eight fans, police said.

The armed gunmen stormed the Pavilhao 9 clubhouse, which is underneath a highway overpass, on Saturday night, while fans were having a barbecue and making signs for an upcoming game, the Associated Press reported.

The assailants ordered people to lie down and then started shooting them in the head. Seven people died from their wounds, while an eighth person was running away when he was shot, and later died at the hospital, Reuters reported.

Corinthians play rivals Palmeiras in the semifinal of São Paulo state championship later on Sunday. The game is still scheduled as planned, Reuters reported.

There has been past violence between fans of the rival soccer teams, but police said the killings were not related to the game.

"Through witnesses, we are already exploring a line of investigation, which is not leading us to believe it was caused by fan rivalry," Detective Arlindo Jose Negrao was quoted as saying by the AP. "We even have possible suspects."

Police said they believed the shooting were possibly related to a dispute between drug dealers, and suggested the clubhouse had ties to gangs, according to Reuters.

BBC's Wyre Davies reports that violence related to soccer in Brazil is a growing problem both directly and indirectly, because some people use the clubs to organize criminal activity around the stadiums.

Pavilhao 9 posted a message to Facebook that says they are mourning for their brothers.
