- Bad Cityzens: Global sports empire found guilty of ‘financial doping,̵...
Manchester City FC has reportedly been found guilty by an independent panel appointed by the Premier League Judicial Panel's chairman of 114 of 115 charges over how the club financed deals relating to sponsorships, paying its managers, and paying its players. The case first came to light in February 2023, after a four-year investigation into the club's financial dealings, which started with a handful of incriminating emails leaked to media in Europe.The club plays in England’s Premier League, which over the past 15 years or so has become one of the world’s most prestigious and popular sports leagues.I’ll disclose right off the top that I’m an Arsenal fan; Arsenal is one of City’s biggest rivals, and the current reigning champion of the Premier League. Kids all over the world wear Premier League club jerseys these days. You've undoubtedly seen Barcelona, Real Madrid, and yes, Manchester City jerseys at just about any soccer game."The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality. As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the club’s statement of February 2023," City told The Athletic in a statement.Andrew Fox, a senior fellow at London’s Henry Jackson Society (and fan of Premier League club Aston Villa), told FOX Business: "This has been a long time in coming and the credibility of the whole Premier League rides on what happens next. This is the biggest scandal in the history of English football, and Manchester City must face the harshest punishment if the league is to restore its shattered integrity." City’s title haul has been gaudy since its takeover by majority owner Sheikh Mansour of the United Arab Emirates in 2008, under the City Football Group. Prior to that, it had last won the Premier League (then called the First Division) in the 1967-68 season. Since then, it has won eight league titles along with a case full of other cup wins.CLIPPERS FACE FEDERAL CRIMINAL PROBE AFTER NBA PUNISHES TEAM OVER KAWHI LEONARD DEALSThe Premier League’s recent history can be divided into a kind of BC-AD on that takeover. Prior to 2008, Manchester City’s Cityzens were mostly the "noisy neighbors" to their more successful rivals, Manchester United’s Red Devils. After that came a gaudy trophy haul as the club built a soccer empire that spans the globe.On the business side, by 2009, Manchester City was pulling in massive sponsorship deals, attracting… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Sunkist Fruit Gems, Staple Candy of Bar Mitzvah Tradition, Are Discontinued

- Overreliance on AI could replace ‘social intelligence’ in the workpl...As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in the workplace, companies may be overlooking another skill set that could increasingly separate successful employees from the pack: the ability to communicate, listen, disagree and build relationships with actual people.Pamela Eyring, president of the Protocol School of Washington, told Fox Business that employers increasingly need workers who can use AI effectively without allowing their interpersonal skills to deteriorate.According to Eyring, people need to focus on what she calls "power skills.""These are essential skills that we need as human beings in business," she said.TOP AI COMPANIES CALL FOR SAFETY MEASURES WHILE CRITICS WARN REGULATION COULD STIFLE INNOVATIONAs a variety of AI platforms continue to expand, Eyring argued that the technology's convenience makes it tempting for workers to turn to a chatbot over another person.And while users may get instant gratification, quick answers and — importantly — less pushback than they might receive from a colleague, Eyring warned that convenience could come at a personal cost."It doesn't dispute us. It's so nice to us, it's so good. 'Oh, that's a great idea, Pamela, let's do that.' And sometimes your ideas aren't good. That's why I'm afraid we're gonna lose our people skills and, more importantly, our relationships," she added.AI EXPERT WARNS ‘MACHINE-SPEED’ CYBERTHREATS MAY REQUIRE FASTER DEFENSES THAN HUMAN-LED RESPONSESAlthough many employers may expect their employees to be proficient with AI and other emerging technologies, that alone doesn't prepare someone to present an idea, read a room, negotiate or develop a client relationship."They want you to be smart with AI, but they also want you to be able to close a billion, a multi-billion dollar deal," Eyring said.Eyring said technical expertise alone may not be enough when employees are expected to advise clients, build relationships and communicate the experience they've accumulated over their careers.She said she and her clients have encountered job applicants who apparently relied too heavily on AI when preparing application materials."We laugh and tell stories about how, you know, the AI created a great resume, and it has still brackets, you know, 'fill in the blank here,'" Eyring said.GOOGLE PARTNERS WITH VETERANS GROUPS TO HELP 25,000 ENTER SKILLED TRADES CAREERS AMID WORKER SHORTAGEThe consequences of overreliance on AI aren't limited to embarrassing job applications, she argued. Businesses themselves could pay a price if automation comes at the expense of human interaction.Leaning too heavily on AI could also cost companies customers — and money.When… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
