Loser
Emile Ratelband
Emile Ratelband, 69, wants to shift his birthday from 11 March 1949 to 11 March 1969, comparing the change to identifying as being transgender.
"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said.
Here is more of his interview with the Guardian News…
A local court in the eastern city of Arnhem is expected to rule on the case within four weeks.
Winner
Andrew Jones of the Texas Longhorn’s basketball team
Texas junior basketball player Andrew Jones was diagnosed with leukemia in January, and spent the spring and summer battling the disease.He transferred to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, cutting the projected time of his program in half. He took part in online classes over the summer while he was completing outpatient treatment.
Jones was able to rejoin his teammates for fall camp, and on Tuesday night the 20-year-old returned to the court for his first game since Jan. 1 as Texas took on Eastern Illinois in its season opener.
When Jones hit his second attempt at the free-throw line midway through the second half, it marked his first point since the diagnosis. The basket was greeted with a thunderous ovation.
