🇺🇸 The #EuropeanSuperLeague represents the ‘relentless Americanisation’ of the sport , this is how 👇

telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/…
❌ No relegation
🆙 No promotion

Since 2000, in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have won 177 games and lost 169. Yet they are the most valuable sports franchise worth $5.5 billion. Mediocrity pays
There are no rewards with winning.

📊For every 10 per cent more games that an NFL franchise wins, they will only earn 0.14 per cent in extra revenue - ‘Whoever wins, everyone wins’

US owners who have gravitated to European football have redesigned it to make it more American

Champions League changes mean:
🤝 More guaranteed berths for the biggest leagues
💰 Higher share of money to biggest leagues
📊 Payments tweaked to account for historical performances
⚽️ A Super League is the logical culmination of these forces...

But where others see a stitch-up opposed to the very essence of sport, American owners see sound business sense...

For the founding members, under-performance will no longer bring peril to the entire business.

♦️ Arsenal joining a #SuperLeague would protect them from the consequences of failure - however badly they performed
❌ Businessmen loathe the unpredictable nature of sport and sheer randomness of the ‘underdogs’.

📈The Super League simply removes these

❌ Before you next take a shower, read this...

🚿 As hygiene habits have changed through lockdown, experts are noting the environmental and physical benefits of showering less

Thread ~ 🧵👇

telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
A YouGov survey showed our shower routines have changed significantly:

💁1/4 wash their hair less
👕1/3 are less likely to put clean clothes on daily
📈Only 1/10 were showering more

With many still working from home, the trend could be here to stay
🧼 'The idea that we need to use soap all over our body... is not founded in any type of science' says James Hamblin, lecturer at Yale School of Public Health.

🧽 Hamblin only washes with water and occasionally wets his hair.

He still regularly washes his hands with soap

👑 The Queen's steadfast style formula is an inspiration to women of all ages.

On Her Majesty's 95th birthday, @BethanHolt looks back on her Royal Highness' fashion over the years and her style that has remained largely unchanged over 6 decades

🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/fashion/royals…
It was in the early Sixties that the Queen first landed on the fashion formula which has made her the global style icon she is today:

🧥 Bright, boxy coat
👒 Matching hat
👡 Low-heeled shoes
🧤 Gloves
💎 Brooch
👜 Top-handle handbag Image
👗 In her steadfast dedication to this singular way of dressing, the Queen has not only made herself into a figure who would be recognisable to millions from a mile off...

She’s probably made her job easier - with little room for manoeuvre, there’s little room for error Image

Look back on how the Queen has celebrated birthdays the years 🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2…
April 21st, the Queen's birthday, is one of private celebrations kept clear of public engagements.

🌹The day began each year with the flower placed on her early-morning tray by Prince Philip, up until 2021
🎂 1st Birthday

The Queen will spend the day at Windsor as she did on her 1st birthday.

Her parents were on an overseas tour, so grandparents George V and Queen Mary hosted the baby princess.

Queen Mary ensured the nursery was "gay with many flowers from the royal gardens"
