NORMAN, Okla. Sergei Nemchinov Rangers Jersey . -- A University of Oklahoma student is suing the schools running back over a 2014 incident in which the player was charged with punching her in the face.Amelia Molitor filed a complaint Friday in U.S. District Court against Joe Mixon, alleging negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the confrontation at a restaurant in Norman. The suit seeks unspecified damages.Mixon accepted one year of probation in October 2014 after being charged. In his Alford plea, he acknowledged there was likely enough evidence to convict him of misdemeanor assault while still asserting his innocence. He performed community service and underwent counseling.Court documents dont list an attorney for Mixon who could comment about the lawsuit on his behalf.After being suspended during the 2014 season, Mixon returned to the team last year. Kevin Klein Rangers Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. Adam Graves Rangers Jersey Authentic . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.officialrangersauthority.com/jaromir-jagr-rangers-jersey-c-16/ . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Australia and South Africa will each lose one Super Rugby franchise if a review proposal presented to the Australian Rugby Union is adopted.The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Friday that other models delivered in a secret review of the Super Rugby competition, expanded to 18 teams for the 2016 season, included the possibility of South Africa losing two teams; another reportedly advocated further expansion of the competition.ARU chief executive Bill Pulver said the board was reviewing a SANZAAR-initiated report into the expanded Super Rugby competition, noting that everything is on the table.Weve interviewed all the Super Rugby clubs and national unions and the idea is to design the competition for the future, Pulver said on Friday, noting that change was unlikely before the end of the current broadcast deal in 2020.The ARU, meanwhile, came under fire from former Wallabies centre Brett Papworth, who slammed the union for what he said was a from-the-roof-down approach to the sport. Papworth, wrote in a hard-hitting column for Rugby News that the union should withdraw its franchises from Super Rugby and redirect money to grassroots level to revive the code in Australia.How can we be spending more than ever on the growing professional arm of the game, but getting worse, Papworth wrote.I have gone back as far as I can into the ARU annual report archives, and can tell you that since 2007 the ARU has spent $777,000,000 on the game [in nine years]. Almost all of it on the growing empires that are supposed to make us a rugby superpower. In that time, investment in rugbys grassroots has fallen to pretty much zero.Papworth also pointed to the weak financial model of Australias Super Rugby franchises -- who combined for a woeful three wins from 25 matches against New Zealand opposition this season -- as a reason why the ARU needed to get out of the competition.Tell SANZAR that its over, Papworth wrote in reference to the 18-team, four-conference model introduced for 2016.And if it costs us money to get out, then who cares because it is currently being wasted on the wrong things anyway. Mike Richter Rangers Jersey Authentic. The simple fact is that we, the rugby public, dont care anymore.[Super Rugby] has become meaningless, and if you ever want to win again you had better start creating real meaning at every level.The Herald reported that Accenture had consulted stakeholders in compiling its report, including the 18 current teams, the national unions from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Japan, and the host broadcaster from each country.Less than a year after the new SANZAAR broadcast deal delivered the ARU a record $A285 million cash injection over five years, the celebrations have come to an abrupt end, the paper reported.The ARU has informed the five Super Rugby franchises they can expect a $A500,000 funding shortfall from head office next year, while the ARU searches for a new sponsor for Super Rugby and gets to grips with the true financial picture at the Western Force and the Brumbies.The ARU did not secure a naming rights sponsor for the June Test series against England, or this years Rugby Championship. In a further illustration of the depth of the woes in Australian rugby, Western Force were bailed out by $A800,000 of additional funding from head office while the Brumbies also have significant financial issues. Melbourne Rebels are being propped up by private owners, while Queensland Reds posted a loss of more than $A1 million last year. Only the Waratahs reported a profit last year, just $A100,000.Papworth wrote in his column for Rugby News that a stronger interstate series in Australia would increase interest in the sport and its players at a representative level, and that money would still flow from matches that people actually care about.It shouldnt be too hard to create an annual interstate series that matters, Papworth wrote. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
