Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Graham Kelly, the Football Association chief executive, launched an inquiry into two incidents at the end of the FA Cup final at Wembley yesterday. The Manchester United captain, Eric Cantona, who scored the only goal, was spat on and someone also aimed a punch towards United's manager Alex Ferguson as the winning side made their way up the famous 39 steps to collect the trophy.
Kelly said: "It's totally unacceptable. I am very concerned about the situation and we will be reviewing the matter urgently with Wembley. Clearly there was a problem today with players walking past rival fans. I have already spoken to Wembley and we will be looking at the matter in some depth."
Ferguson shrugged off both the incidents. "Don't bother about that. There was nothing silly. If someone had a swing at me he obviously doesn't know how good I am at fighting," he said afterwards.
