Muslims, Sikhs object to headscarf ban at California go-kart parks Tuesday, Apr 29, 2014 08:29 PM PDT By Laila Kearney SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Three Muslim families have filed complaints against an amusement park chain in California that they say barred them from riding go-karts wearing headscarves, family advocates said Tuesday. The families claim that Boomers! Parks in two locations in the state violated their civil rights with an unfair safety policy that bans all headgear on the rides, said Sammar Miqbel, a spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which filed the complaints on behalf of the families. The United Sikh's organisation said it was preparing to file a similar complaint on behalf of a Sikh family. CAIR's Miqbel said the families visiting Boomers' in the San Francisco suburb of Livermore and the Los Angeles suburb of Irvine had been allowed to wait in line for go karts, but were barred when they reached the front of the queque.

Soccer-Rodgers recognised Chelsea's 'great victory,' says Mourinho Tuesday, Apr 29, 2014 07:50 PM PDT Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, who likened Chelsea's tactics to "parking two buses" at Anfield at the weekend, has called Jose Mourinho to congratulate him on a "great victory", the Portuguese coach said. The London club stifled Liverpool's much-vaunted attacking threat on Sunday, scoring at the end of each half through Demba Ba and Willian in a 2-0 win that lifted Chelsea to within two points of the Premier League leaders.
