Franco Fragapane would never have done that in Argentina.After Minnesota United’s diminutive winger scored the tying goal in a 1-1 draw with New England last Saturday, he climbed a few rows into the supporters sections at Allianz Field. Ecstatic fans were reveling in the moment and then got an up-close chance to celebrate with the man of the moment.But all in all, it was pretty tame in perspective.“In Argentina, you can’t do that. No chance!” Fragapane told the Pioneer Press via a translation from Marleine Calderon.Bach in his native country, Fragapane would have had to fight off sticky fingers, if he was risky enough to go into the crowd. “They (would) take your jersey, your shorts,” he said.Fragapane’s goal was his highlight in a difficult season. After scoring seven times in MLS last season, Fragapane had not scored in 1,120 MLS minutes this season until that last kick of the game against New England.

Biden’s Medicare price negotiation push is broadly popular. But he’s not getting much credit

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:11:11 GMT

By SEUNG MIN KIM and LINLEY SANDERS (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is trumpeting Medicare’s new powers to negotiate directly with drugmakers on the cost of prescription medications — but a poll shows that any immediate political boost that Biden gets for enacting the overwhelmingly popular policy may be limited. Three-quarters of Americans, or 76%, favor allowing the federal health care program for the elderly to negotiate prices for certain prescription drugs. That includes strong majorities of Democrats (86%) and Republicans (66%), according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About one in five Americans are neutral on the issue, while 6% outright oppose it. But the poll shows Biden’s approval rating, at 40%, is about where it’s been for the last year. Americans are split on how the Democratic president is handling the issue of prescription drug prices — 48% approve, making it...
