In this article, "Pep Guardiola vows to keep wearing Catalan yellow ribbon", Britton expresses and evaluates controversial actions Manchester City's manager did prior to the Carabao Cup against Arsenal. Pep Guardiola decided that he would provide support his suppressed Catalonia politicians by wearing a subtle but powerful yellow ribbon. Catalonia has recently sought after independence from Spain via October's independence referendum but was ruled illegal by Spain's top court. Pep Guardiola, who is a Catalonia native, expressed his emotions toward the independence, saying that "Before a manager, I am a human being". However, with bold actions comes bold consequences. The English Football Association has fined Guardiola for "wearing a political message...", which compromises it's kit and advertising regulations. Guardiola has recently backfired shortly after the FA's actions, claiming that he would continue to wear the yellow ribbon, no matter the actions enforced against him; "They (the FA) know I'll wear the yellow ribbon always...". This predicament has been recognized and acknowledge by the public, with the general population in support to Pep. A Manchester City fan has recently claimed that "If you're a true City fan wear a yellow ribbon on Sunday at Wembley as protest for the charges set by FA on our manager,".

The In the CNN article, "Satellite images show Cape Town's dwindling reservoir as the city slowly runs out of water", Murphy and Jones expresses that one of the largest cities in South Africa is currently in a water crisis. Cape Town is a powerful South African city, nursing a large population that grows at an impressive rate. Associated with climate change and drought, Cape Town is on the verge of having day where it is finally lacking water. Scientists believe that the official day of the happening will occur on April 12th, distinguishing Cape Town as the first city to exhaust their water supply in the history of mankind. The Theewaterskloof Dam, which is South Africa's largest reservoir is "at dangerously low levels" and that it is "Only 13 percent full this week - down a full percent this week" (Murphy). The world is in chaos, finally supporting the age-old debate whether not climate change is indeed a real thing or a fallacy. The vegetation is also experiencing the major drought as well, diminishing in quantity daily. With this happening, many theories are being proposed to the future of planet Earth and life as a whole. Is this the first sign of the last days of Mankind? Do we need to start heavily enforcing environmental-supporting laws, ultimately changing our approach and perspective on a pervading problem needing to be fixed?

Although a problem has occurred within the game, the compassion and love other players have for the game will always prevail and show through the darkest of times. Lebron James, a wold-renowned basketball player, reportedly checked up on Hayward's condition along with teammate Isaiah Thomas, who played for the Celtics last season.
