Nets want justice after Joel Embiid’s flagrant foul: ‘I thought precedent was set’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:04:31 GMT

The Nets are eagerly awaiting word from the NBA’s league office on additional enforcement actions against 76ers star Joel Embiid.Embiid, the presumptive league Most Valuable Player, flailed his legs up into starting center Nic Claxton’s groin area in the first quarter of the Nets’ Game 3 loss to the Sixers on Thursday. The moment was retaliation from Embiid after Claxton stuffed a one-handed alley-oop over him, then stepped over the Sixers’ star big man a la Allen Iverson and Tyronn Lue.Officials assessed Claxton a technical foul and issued Embiid a flagrant foul penalty one. It got the Nets two free throws and possession of the ball, but the Nets felt Embiid should have been ejected from the game for his actions.“Oh, I know my stance hasn’t changed,” Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said after Friday’s practice, just hours after he expressed frustration postgame with the decision not to eject Embiid. “It is the same as yesterday, m...

Should US airlines pay passengers for delays like the EU?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:04:31 GMT

Southwest Airlines spent the early part of 2023 trying to make good after a historic meltdown resulted in more than 16,700 canceled flights during the 2022 holidays. The airline reimbursed passengers for the cost of alternative travel arrangements and sent many travelers additional loyalty points.Southwest wasn’t legally required to. The U.S. has no federal laws mandating that airlines compensate passengers for delays. Airlines are only obligated to offer refunds if they cancel a flight and the passenger decides not to travel.That’s hardly the case in Europe. An EU regulation, commonly referred to as EU261, requires airlines to compensate travelers for cancellations, denied boarding or delays of two or more hours. It went into effect in 2005 and applies to most flights operated by airlines based in the 27 EU countries, plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.As long as the flight wasn’t disrupted due to an “extraordinary circumstance” such as weather, passengers are entitled to compens...
