The top spot is held by a holiday ever resonant to American racial matters. Yet the most prevalent subject is football (the real kind, not the American kind)
As of this reports cut-off, every team has played two of their three group games. Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands are already through, but will still try to win their group, for a theoretically easier round of 16 match (although the Netherlands have already won theirs) North Macedonia are already knocked out and now play for pride. However, for the other 20 teams still need to fight to stay in, with only 13 of those 20 teams making it through...
Ronaldo is currently playing for Portugal in Euro 2020. He's a pretty big deal, enough to be blamed for a stock value drop of The Coca-Cola Company after moving a few bottles of Coke off the table to encourage viewers to drink water instead. (the true story is much more complicated)
Thought WandaVision was a one time deal in "Disney+ Marvel shows that seem designed to leave the viewer confused every week"? Nope, Loki is here with its timeline variances to keep that void filled. There was even the reveal of the antagonist, known as "The Variant", an alternate Loki that not only is intent on breaking the flow of the time, but is a woman!
Nicknamed "The Flying Sikh", a sprinter who was the last Indian man to get close to an Olympic medal in track and field with a 1956 fourth place (a woman got to the same position in 1984; the country just has no tradition in running, jumping and throwing), and died of COVID-19 complications at the age of 91.
School boards around the United States are filled with talk about "critical race theory," a specific academic field that, in the public's eye, encompasses everything from The 1619 Project to white genocide. In Washoe County, Nevada, parents even proposed equipping teachers with body cams to prevent the dastardly CRT. Liberals warn that bans on CRT—so far passed in Idaho and Florida—will have a chilling effect on discussions of racism, while conservatives warn that CRT itself would have a chilling effect on discussions of racism.
The newest prime minister of Israel is the New Right's Naftali Bennett, succeeding Benjamin Netanyahu. If you are a liberal—Israeli or otherwise—don't go back to brunch yet: Bennett started his premiership by bombing Gaza.
Pixaragain got relegated to Disney+, though thankfully without extra charges (even if the company itself has expressed grievances on skipping theaters). The story of an Italian fishboy who goes to dry land - and to Ariel's envy, he changes to human form without needing arrangements with evil witches - and gets interested in cycling and buying a Vespa is another one of those creative and emotional films Pixar specialized in.
A musical adaptation, telling the story of New York Dominicans pursuing their dreams of a better life while singing Lin-Manuel Miranda compositions, currently in theaters and HBO Max. (and showing the political correctness crew seemingly always finds something to complain about, in spite of being the work of a Puerto Rican - albeit directed by an Asian American - about Latinos and having a cast full of them, there was still criticism on the actors not being dark-skinned enough)
Five years ago, our #3 finally got the continental trophy (#10) he was denied on home soil in 2004 - although Portugal won by doing the same thing the Greeks did to become champions in Lisbon, namely boring and low-scoring football mostly focused on defense.
The English team's victory against Croatia on #2 might've had the only goal scored by Raheem Sterling, but he did so in a play set by this young Leeds United midfielder who was deemed the game's highlight.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It fell off the list, yet its couple of paranormal investigators (played there by Patrick Wilson, pictured, and Vera Farmiga) kept themselves one more week, in a delayed case of Wikipedia viewers seeking the subjects more than the work itself.
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Jeff Lemire, this Robert Downey Jr.-produced, James Brolin-narrated Netflix fantasy series released last week takes place in a world where animal-human hybrids are being hunted down. It follows the adventures of a boy named Gus who was born part-deer and part-human as he travels across America with his human companion, Tommy, in search of his mother.
Most Popular Wikipedia Articles of the Week (June 13 to 19, 2021)
This list excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue.
