They’ve become a fashion accessory, especially since the company that makes the cups, Stanley 1913, has made use of influencer culture to target women and make the tumbler’s sales skyrocket. The reach of the bottles has been amplified by social media users. But social media giveth and social media taketh away. Some Stanley owners, hoping to check the claims, started to use home lead-testing kits, which experts say are not reliable. A sendup of the Stanley cup phenomenon on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend — a sketch called “Big Dumb Cups” — even mentioned the lead in passing.

In a Monday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, NASCAR President Steve Phelps discussed his company's new deal with Amazon Prime streaming, saying Amazon is a sticking force in sports distribution. NASCAR announced last year it entered into a seven-year agreement with Prime Video, giving the platform exclusive rights to five of its Cup Series races in 2025. Phelps was "thrilled" about NASCAR's partnership with Amazon, saying the deal was his company's first "pure streamer" at its Cup Series level. Amazon averaged 13 million viewers during its first NFL game last season, with viewership on the platform growing 24% this season. Netflix is set to release a NASCAR documentary series, 'NASCAR: Full Speed,' on Tuesday.

Their house is infused with smells of tea loaves, biscuits and mince pies — because baking is Jennifer Quinn’s “superpower,” as Bernard tells anyone who will listen. Not a day goes by when she’s not measuring out flour and sugar on her old-fashioned kitchen scale, and turning out something sweet in their well-loved kitchen. She’s never had a career either, and watching Bernard fall asleep in front of the TV — and thinking of their marriage entering its final chapter — makes Jennifer yearn for something of her own. Spontaneously, secretly, she applies to be a contestant on “Britain Bakes,” the popular show Bernard pretends not to keep an eye on while reading. “I’ve spent my life being led less by great ambition and more by small victories,” she types on her application.

CNN —As the echoes of the final whistle rang out around the Abdullah bin Khalifa stadium in Doha, Qatar, Palestinian players celebrated with anguished joy last week. The historic sporting moment for Palestinians comes as Israel’s war against Hamas rages in Gaza, causing widespread destruction and initiating a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

Some Palestinian national team footballers, like Saleh, have reportedly lost family members or have relatives and friends trapped in Gaza.

CNN —Jordan reached the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Cup after producing a remarkable late comeback thanks to two stoppage-time goals to beat Iraq 3-2 in controversial circumstances. Jordan’s Hamza Al-Dardour was then shown a red card to leave both sides a man short, before Nizar Al-Rashdan scored the winning goal in the 97th minute. Hussein is shown a red card after his goal. “However, I bear part of the responsibility for the loss, but there are others who bear greater responsibility than me for our defeat,” he added, likely referring to referee Faghani. “Considering that Aymen had already received a yellow card in the first half, a warning would have been more appropriate.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami kicked off their tour of Saudi Arabia by losing to Al-Hilal 4-3 on Monday. The Major League Soccer team is playing two games in the oil-rich kingdom as part of its preseason preparations, but even Messi could not inspire it to victory in Riyadh. While Messi got on the score sheet with a second-half penalty, Malcom came up with the decisive goal to win the match in the 88th. He ultimately opted for a move to the United States to join David Beckham's Miami and quickly led the team to its first trophy, the Leagues Cup.

CNN —Protesters hurled soup at the Mona Lisa painting in Paris on Sunday, but did not seem hit directly as it is protected by a clear casing. An environmental group has said two protesters involved with their campaign were behind the vandalism. The enigmatic portrait is no stranger to both vandalism and thievery. In 2009, a woman angrily threw a ceramic cup at the painting, breaking the cup but leaving the painting unharmed. Then in 2022, a visitor smeared frosting all over the Renaissance-era painting’s protective glass.

CNN —South Africa’s director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has been hospitalized after suffering chemical burns from detergent in a “freak accident,” South Africa Rugby said in a statement. The 51-year-old is said to be “recovering in hospital following a medical procedure for chemical burns sustained in a freak accident using a powerful detergent product.”“He is otherwise in good health and expects to return to full-time working within weeks,” the statement added. Erasmus coached the Springboks to the Rugby World Cup title in 2019 in Japan – the third time the country had lifted the Webb Ellis Cup – before stepping upstairs to the director of rugby role ahead of the 2023 edition of the tournament. South Africa is next scheduled to play in a two-game series against Ireland in July, first in Pretoria and then in Durban. With Jacques Nienaber installed as head coach and Erasmus overseeing the operation, South Africa retained its World Cup title in France last year, winning its second successive and fourth championship overall after beating New Zealand in the final.
