Why is baseball not popular in Philippines?

After the euphoric evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, this was the downbeat sequel Newcastle did not want voslot

After the feelgood stories of the Geordie boys scoring in the Champions League came a tale of gritty realism, of meeting their match in the teeming Tyneside rain voslot

There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead voslot

With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season – he could learn his fate within days as an investigation into alleged breaches of voslot betting rules nears its conclusion – Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice voslot

Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park voslot

And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign voslot

Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked like possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, it now looks like Newcastle could instead voslot

The margins were narrow, the width of the woodwork that denied Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon but Dortmund inflicted their first defeat in this competition since Barcelona in 2003 voslot

Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali voslot

If his debut season in England ends early, it also came to an anti-climactic conclusion voslot

The Italian came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, making scant difference to a game Dortmund were already controlling voslot

Newcastle could not blow Dortmund away with their power: not when the visitors had a similar speed, and were lighting quick on the break voslot

Nor could their crowd intimidate them into defeat: not when the travelling Germans were still more vocal voslot

Instead, they encountered a team who could cancel out their strength, with a similar emphasis on high energy voslot

It was not effort Newcastle lacked, but then it never is voslot

Dortmund supplied a touch of class; arguably two, given the role of a pair of players in their goal voslot

Given how well they defended, perhaps it was apt it began with a challenge voslot

Nico Schlotterbeck halted Gordon with an immaculate tackle, surged clear and kept going, collecting Marco Reus’s return pass and squaring for Felix Nmecha to sidefoot in voslot

For a few seconds, the centre-back looked more Beckenbauer than Schlotterbeck voslot

The midfielder, who has something of Bellingham’s elegance, showed his technique with the finish voslot

It had been threatened voslot

The opening 10 minutes could have yielded two goals at either end, but thereafter in the first half Dortmund were the more dangerous voslot

The scoreline would have been greater but for terrific saves at either end voslot

If voslot footballing goalkeepers have captured the Zeitgeist, Newcastle have a goalkeeping goalkeeper voslot

Nick Pope was their saviour in San Siro and he threatened to reprise that role voslot

A first-minute stop from Donyell Malen was excellent: voslot better still was a superb double save to deny the Dutchman and Niclas Fullkrug voslot

Malen produced a curiosity of a performance, adopting a shoot-on-sight policy and mustering six efforts before the break voslot

Yet he was a sign of Dortmund’s counterattacking menace: their speed on the transition brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp’s blistering side a decade ago voslot

Kieran Trippier, so often a great strength for Newcastle, was made to look a weak link as Dortmund found space behind him voslot

Newcastle sent on Tonali late on (Getty Images)At the other end, meanwhile, Gregor Kobel made twin early saves from Gordon voslot

His best save came early in the second half, repelling Wilson’s shot voslot

And when Wilson beat Kobel with a late header, it bounced back off the bar voslot

It was not Dortmund’s only reprieve: in the 94th minute, Gordon’s shot looped up off Sebastien Haller, over Kobel and on to the bar voslot

Gordon was relentless, probably Newcastle’s best outfield player, yet Wilson’s prominence was a sign their plans were going awry voslot

Eddie Howe had demoted the striker and selected Alexander Isak, but he limped off inside a quarter of an hour voslot

When the substitute Jacob Murphy hurt his shoulder a few minutes after coming on, Newcastle may have, in effect, lost three players, given Tonali’s imminent suspension voslot

And yet Dortmund were depleted, too, minus Julian Brandt, stripped of the stricken Emre Can before half-time voslot

But there was a resourcefulness and a resilience to them, a willingness to them voslot

A team with a lone defeat in the Bundesliga in 2023 were not to be beaten voslot

And as Newcastle lost instead, it prompted the question of whether the anomaly was this underwhelming evening or the glorious night they demolished PSG voslot

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best voslot

Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport voslot

But there are no Blacks in your sport voslot

“They’re going to want to kill you voslot

”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on voslot

He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car voslot

Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events voslot

But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all voslot

Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself voslot

“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed voslot

Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride voslot

“But I enjoyed it voslot

It didn’t make me mad, it was fun voslot

I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me voslot

I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating voslot

I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs voslot

”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality voslot

A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 voslot

So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” voslot

But to this interview, he’s late voslot

And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems voslot

It was the racing way or the highway voslot

Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas voslot

“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill voslot

That’s all that was discussed in the family voslot

We didn’t discuss any other sport voslot

“I was lucky, I think voslot

At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be voslot

Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did voslot

And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One voslot

”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s voslot

He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too voslot

But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril voslot

Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer voslot

But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time voslot

Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says voslot

“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team voslot

For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders voslot

“Sure voslot

I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done voslot

And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it voslot

But for me? It was about going fast voslot

”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali voslot

“What I admired about him the most was not his voslot boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali voslot

“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled voslot

Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while voslot

’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about voslot

“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs voslot

“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience voslot

The attention went off the chart voslot

That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods voslot

“He’s a very kind man voslot

He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way voslot

He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair voslot

Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with voslot

Willy T Ribbs was treated differently voslot

”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world voslot

And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made voslot

“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says voslot

“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One voslot

’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ voslot
