A  well known US pastor, Thaddeus Mathews post on his Instagram page to clap at people who criticized him for sharing a photo of himself resting on a fan's breast. According to him, he loves women too, even as a pastor. He also said that any pastor who doesn't admire beautiful women must admire beautiful men. See post: Thaddeus_Matthews: when did so call straight men start having a problem with a man laying his head on some titties? A pastor is just a man no more no less but in the traditional church you have been taught that the pastor is not suppose to be manly which is the reason most of them are sneaking around. I’m glad when I see a man doing what a man is suppose to do in admiring and having desire for a woman. Some are you fake ass church folk are so@heavenly until you are no earthly good.

VAR makes headline stories at Women’s World Cup

Image
Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is turning out to be the biggest star in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, and is making headline stories at the other positives such as the record television viewing figures around the world. VAR gave Chile a penalty against Thailand late in the second half, which if not wasted would have sent the South Americans into the knock out stage. VAR stole the headline again in the wake of the retaken penalty for Argentina that knocked out Scotland on Wednesday. There was a similar controversy in Nigeria’s loss to France, another retaken penalty preventing the Super Falcons from securing automatic qualification for the knockout phase.
