Nike’s soccer shirts to be worn by players at the FIFA World Cup appear to have a design issue.
Material was seen bulging at the shoulders of footballers in recent international matches.
The issue was raised on X by a sports journalist. Fans have complained about their version of the shirts.
With just two months to go before the FIFA World Cup kicks off, design issues have emerged with the Nike shirts to be worn by several teams in the tournament, including the USA and Canada.
Soccer’s biggest event, hosted jointly by the US, Canada and Mexico, gets underway on June 11 with the opening match in Mexico City.
During international matches played since Nike unveiled its World Cup kits on March 16, several soccer players were seen with shirts bulging at the shoulder.
Prominent Spanish football journalist Alejandro Mendo raised the issue with his 14.6 million followers on X.
“You’ve all seen the unwanted shoulder pads on the Nike shirts for the World Cup,” he said. “What seemed like a minor aesthetic detail has turned into a global controversy.”
Sharing images of international players with bulging material at the shoulders, Mendo added: “Nike acknowledges the problem. These aren’t isolated cases, but something structural in the design.”
Soccer fans have also reported similar issues with their versions of the shirt, with one posting on Reddit: “Its actually a complete joke.”
Showing off his Canada shirt, the fan added: “The way the shoulders are sewn together just make them bunch like this no matter what. This is a stupid, STUPID design.”
Business Insider contacted Nike for comment and didn’t get a response on Saturday.
Some 48 teams have qualified for the tournament, the highest number in its history. The final takes place at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.

Anthropic launched a beta version of Claude for Word.
It follows February’s release of Claude add-ins for Excel and PowerPoint.
The AI startup’s latest launch is partly aimed at legal professionals.
Anthropic launched a beta version of Claude for Word, another challenge to Microsoft‘s software empire and a bid to appeal more to the legal profession.
The AI startup, having pushed Claude into Excel and PowerPoint earlier this year, said its latest add-in for Word is “designed for professionals who work extensively with documents, particularly in legal review, financial memo drafting, and iterative editing.”
On Saturday, Anthropic said Claude for Word would allow users to ask questions about their documents and get answers with clickable section citations.
Other features include the ability to edit selected text while preserving surrounding styles, numbering, and formatting, while a “tracked changes mode” would allow users to accept or reject every edit as a revision, Anthropic explained.
Claude could also work through comment threads, editing the anchored text and replying with what it changed, according to the release.
Anthropic gave examples of prompts lawyers could try when reviewing a legal contract while using Claude for Word.
“Summarize the key commercial terms: parties, term, governing law, and anything off-market.”
“Flag provisions that deviate from standard market position, ranked by severity.”
“Make the indemnification mutual and insert our standard fallback language.”
“Work through all five reviewer comments as tracked changes.”
“What did the counterparty change, and which revisions are dealbreakers?”
It’s currently available only to Team and Enterprise plans.
With this and other recent launches, Anthropic is making clear it no longer wants to be known primarily as a tool for developers. It wants Claude embedded across the enterprise, supporting finance teams, HR departments, analysts, and executives alike.

KORE says it will introduce an SGP.32-compliant connectivity portfolio in partnership with eSIM specialist Kigen, aiming to make it easier for enterprises to provision, switch and localize cellular IoT connectivity across global device fleets.
Global IoT deployments have a familiar weak point: connectivity decisions made at manufacturing time often age badly. Devices move, networks change, regulations evolve, and the operational cost of physically touching endpoints—whether that’s swapping SIMs or dispatching technicians—quickly becomes a line item that overshadows the sensor itself.
Against that backdrop, KORE has announced a new portfolio of connectivity solutions aligned with the GSMA’s SGP.32 eSIM standard, developed in partnership with Kigen. KORE says commercial availability is planned for later in 2026, positioning the offering for enterprises that want the benefits of remote provisioning without being locked into first-generation IoT eSIM approaches.
The core of the announcement is straightforward: KORE plans to deliver SGP.32-compliant connectivity options that can be adapted over a device’s lifetime. Kigen, for its part, is contributing what it describes as a secure, GSMA-certified SGP.32 eSIM and eIM technology to underpin the solution’s architecture.
Why SGP.32 matters—and why this isn’t just another “eSIM-ready” claim
Many connectivity announcements still treat eSIM as a checkbox: “remote provisioning” becomes a vague promise, with few specifics on how enterprises will actually operate fleets at scale. What makes this KORE-Kigen news distinct is the explicit focus on SGP.32 as the organizing principle for an enterprise portfolio—combined with an emphasis on operational models such as streamlined roaming, multi-network resiliency, and local connectivity with failover and recovery.
In other words, the story here isn’t merely that the SIM can be provisioned remotely. It is that KORE is packaging connectivity behavior—roaming, localization, and resiliency patterns—as selectable profiles intended to match different deployment realities, from stationary assets to mobile ones. That framing aligns with what large deployments tend to ask for: repeatable templates that can be applied across products, geographies, and contract cycles.
Programmable connectivity shifts the burden from hardware logistics to lifecycle operations
KORE is also using this announcement to reinforce a longer-term direction: a “unified eSIM-based platform” and what it calls programmable connectivity. Even without additional technical detail, the implication for IoT operations teams is concrete: if connectivity can be switched and optimized over time, procurement and device lifecycle management become more software-driven and less dependent on physical intervention.
That matters because the biggest pain in global IoT isn’t typically initial activation—it’s change management. When a fleet needs to adapt to a new network partner, a new coverage footprint, or a shift in local requirements, the cost is rarely the new connectivity plan alone; it’s the coordination across manufacturing, field operations, and support. KORE is explicitly positioning SGP.32 as a way to reduce those “truck roll” scenarios by making changes remotely.
Interoperability and carrier-grade integrations are the real gating factors
The announcement leans on interoperability and “carrier-grade integrations,” and this is where SGP.32 success will be won or lost for many enterprises. Standards remove some friction, but they don’t eliminate integration work across connectivity providers, provisioning infrastructure, and the enterprise’s own device management stack.
A practical insight derived from KORE’s positioning: by centering “deep carrier relationships” and global infrastructure, KORE is implicitly acknowledging that SGP.32 on its own is not the endgame. Enterprises will judge these offerings by how smoothly profile management, switching logic, and recovery workflows translate into day-two operations—especially when devices are deployed across multiple countries and connectivity must be localized.
What OEMs, integrators, and enterprises should take from the announcement
For OEMs, an SGP.32-aligned portfolio could reduce the pressure to region-split hardware SKUs purely for connectivity reasons, assuming the provisioning and profile strategy is robust enough to handle localization requirements. It may also change how OEMs negotiate connectivity: the commercial relationship can become more dynamic over a device’s service life, rather than fixed at shipment.
For system integrators, the opportunity—and the work—will likely sit in stitching provisioning workflows into existing enterprise tooling. Remote provisioning is most valuable when it is operationalized: linked to device state, policy rules, and exception handling, rather than treated as a standalone portal activity.
For connectivity providers in the ecosystem, KORE’s move underscores a broader trend: enterprises increasingly expect connectivity to behave like a software layer, with policy-driven selection and resilience options. That expectation tends to raise the bar on orchestration, lifecycle visibility, and multi-network operating models.
Broader industry relevance is clear: as the GSMA’s IoT-focused eSIM standards mature, the differentiator shifts from “supports eSIM” to “can you run a global fleet through years of network, regulatory and commercial change without operational disruption?” KORE and Kigen are betting that SGP.32, delivered as an enterprise-ready portfolio rather than a point capability, is the next step in answering that question.
There’s no punishment if someone mutters a frustrated word after dropping something or losing a game. At first glance, that might sound like an unusual parenting choice, maybe even a permissive one.
The truth is, letting go of this particular rule has made our home calmer and our conversations more honest.
Not every battle is worth fighting
I’m a mom of three — ages 6, 12, and 15 — and like most parents, I’ve had to learn that not every battle is worth fighting. Parenting often comes with a long list of things we’re supposed to correct: language, behavior, tone, attitude. For a long time, I reacted the way many parents do when I heard a curse word. I corrected it immediately and reminded my kids that those words weren’t allowed.

Over time, I started noticing something. Most of the time, my kids weren’t being disrespectful. They weren’t swearing at anyone. They were frustrated, embarrassed, or overwhelmed. A glass would break, a homework problem wouldn’t make sense, or a game wouldn’t go their way. The word they used was simply the fastest way to express how they were feeling.
And suddenly we weren’t talking about the thing that upset them anymore. We were arguing about the word they chose to express it.
I was spending too much time policing language
Eventually, I realized I was spending more energy policing language than actually helping my kids navigate their emotions. At the same time, life already felt full. Parenting, work, schedules, responsibilities — it often felt like I was carrying a basket full of eggs. Every small rule, every correction, every argument was another egg I was trying to balance.
At some point, I had to admit that the basket was already full. If I kept adding more, something important would break.

So I started letting a few things go — including the rule about curse words — so I could focus on what actually mattered most: making sure my kids feel seen, heard, and understood when they’re struggling.
We treat cursing as emotional expression, not misbehavior
Over time, it became clear that the words themselves weren’t the real problem. The emotion behind them was what actually mattered.
Kids experience frustration the same way adults do. The difference is that they’re still learning how to manage it. Sometimes that learning process includes imperfect language.
Instead of treating every curse word as misbehavior, I started thinking of it as an emotional expression. If my child mutters a word under their breath after dropping something heavy or getting stuck on homework, it’s usually just a quick way of releasing frustration.
By shifting my perspective, those moments stopped feeling like something that needed discipline and started feeling like something that needed understanding.
We set flexible boundaries instead of banning words
Letting go of the “no swearing ever” rule didn’t mean anything goes. We still have clear expectations about when and where certain language is appropriate.
In our house, the boundaries are simple: don’t swear at school, don’t swear at people, don’t swear around your grandparents, and ideally don’t swear around me.
Those boundaries have been enough.
Swearing at someone crosses the line into disrespect, and we address it immediately. School has its own rules, and we expect our kids to follow them. And around grandparents, we simply try to keep things respectful.
But if a frustrated word slips out when something goes wrong, I don’t turn it into a bigger issue. We move on. In our home, the focus is on how we treat people, not whether every sentence is perfectly clean.
Dropping this battle removed a surprising amount of tension
What surprised me most about this shift is how quickly the tension around language disappeared.
When every small slip used to trigger a correction, it created a steady stream of tiny conflicts. Parenting already involves enough reminders and redirections. Adding language policing to that list just created another opportunity for disagreement.
Once I stopped reacting so strongly, those moments mostly faded away. The kids weren’t getting much of a reaction anymore, so the words stopped feeling rebellious or dramatic. They simply became what they were in the first place: quick expressions of frustration.
Our house felt calmer almost immediately. Conversations didn’t escalate as easily, and small moments that used to turn into arguments began to pass without much attention.
The biggest benefit has been more honest communication
One unexpected benefit of relaxing this rule is that my kids talk more openly.
Kids don’t always have the vocabulary to explain exactly what they’re feeling, especially when emotions are running high. If they feel like every sentence is going to be corrected, sometimes they stop talking altogether.
By lowering the pressure around language, my kids are more likely to say what they’re actually feeling. Sometimes it’s blunt. Sometimes it’s messy. But it’s honest. And honest conversations are much easier to work through than silent ones.
Instead of getting stuck correcting a word choice, we can focus on the bigger conversation: what upset them, what went wrong, and how they might handle it next time.
Letting go of this rule made me a calmer parent
Parenting has taught me that some rules deserve more energy than others.
Safety matters. Respect matters. Responsibility matters. Those are the things we focus on consistently in our home.
Language, on the other hand, turned out to be more flexible than I once believed.
By deciding that curse words weren’t the hill I wanted to die on, I removed one small but constant source of tension from our home. I also found myself reacting less and listening more.
And in the end, that shift didn’t just change how my kids communicate. It changed how I show up as a parent.
Our house isn’t perfect. No house with three kids ever is. But it’s calmer than it used to be.
And sometimes that kind of change starts with something as simple as deciding one rule just isn’t worth the fight.
The Masters began on Thursday, and with the opening tee times came hundreds of private jets.

The Masters Tournament is drawing hundreds of private jets to Augusta, Georgia.
The golf competition has become a top event for private jet operators.
To manage the influx, the Augusta Regional Airport has hired extra staff and expanded its facilities.
As The Masters teed off on Thursday at the rarefied Augusta National Golf Club, at the small regional airport 11 miles away, hundreds of private jets were undertaking their annual pilgrimage to the billionaires’ favorite golf tournament.
On Thursday, nearly 300 aircraft arrived at the Augusta Regional Airport, about five times the typical number of arrivals and departures combined, according to data from FlightAware.
The aircraft, many registered to charter and fractional ownership companies like NetJets and VistaJet, came from tony locations, such as Palm Beach, Florida, and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
To prepare for the influx this year, the airport, which charges as much as $4,000 per aircraft to land, hired additional staff, increased the number of fuel trucks, and expanded aircraft parking, according to a letter sent to aircraft operators.
“It’s organized chaos to us,” Lauren Smith, the Augusta Regional’s assistant director of marketing and public relations, told Business Insider ahead of last year’s tournament, during which third-party flight tracking data showed more than 2,100 private flights flying in and out of the airport.
The Masters, along with the Super Bowl and Formula 1 races, is one of the biggest events of the year for private jet operators, who use the golf tournament to market and mingle with their wealthy clientele.
NetJets hosts an annual party with A-list entertainment, and Wheels Up, which booked over 150 flights to and from the tournament last year, opens a clubhouse for its members, where golf personalities record live podcasts and a fashion illustrator captures guests’ outfits.
VistaJet rents a private home nearby and hosts its members for programming, including dinners, live entertainment, and visits from golf insiders.
“We give them something they never want to get rid of,” Matteo Atti, the chief marketing officer of VistaJet’s parent company, Vista Global, told Business Insider of his company’s membership perks last year.
The Masters is a premier event on the billionaire social calendar. In past years, the jets of Nike CEO Phil Knight and investor Herbert Allen Jr. have made the trip.
While official tickets to the Masters, given out through a lottery system, are relatively inexpensive — $160 per day, at most — they are hard to come by. Though the tournament prohibits reselling tickets, they are available on resale sites, where they cost exponentially more. In the days leading up to the event, resale passes were going for upward of $50,000.
Once you’re through the door, though, rest assured that your food won’t cost much. The price of the tournament’s famous pimento cheese sandwich hasn’t budged in years: $1.50.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is trying to speed up hiring and training for new air traffic controllers, as the industry faces a chronic shortage.

The Trump Administration is calling on gamers to apply to be air traffic controllers.
Officials think gamers have quick thinking skills and can stay focused under pressure.
The FAA is accepting applications between April 17 and April 27, no college degree required.
The US government is targeting a group whose hyper-reactive skills align with one of its most demanding jobs: Gamers.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday that the Federal Aviation Administration will accept applications for air traffic controller jobs from April 17 through April 27.
The role, which is about 3,000 controllers short and chronically understaffed, opens to the public only a few times a year.
This campaign specifically targets young people without college degrees whose “useful skills” include multitasking, spatial awareness, strategy, and problem-solving.
The FAA thinks that those “active in gaming” may fit the bill: “Feedback from controller exit interviews reinforces this, with several controllers pointing to gaming as an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay focused, and manage complexity,” the agency said.
It added that roughly 200 million people — about 65% of Americans — regularly play video games.
A callout to gamers has been done before. Under former President Joe Biden, the Federal Aviation Administration launched a “Level Up” hiring campaign in 2021 that explicitly targeted gamers as potential candidates.

The FAA also hopes to attract talent with high paychecks: it said controllers can earn six figures annually within about three years on the job. Though securing higher paychecks often requires advancing quickly and getting based in high-cost-of-living cities.
New controllers, who must first graduate from the Oklahoma City training academy, earn about $55,000, according to pay scales previously reviewed by Business Insider. The highest-paid controllers, who have many years of experience at the US’ busiest airports, earn more than $225,000 a year.
There are almost 11,000 active air traffic controllers, with another 4,000 in training. April’s hiring window will close after 8,000 applicants. Eligible candidates must be under 31 when applying, be a US citizen, speak fluent English, and meet specific physical and mental fitness standards.
Current controllers come from a variety of backgrounds — many joined from the military or from specialized aviation schools. Others are picked off the street with no prior experience, but they still have to pass knowledge and aptitude tests.
The industry is desperate
The renewed focus on gamers reflects the government’s urgent effort to broaden its hiring pool for a job that leaves little room for error, as a system that has been understaffed for years faces delays, overworked controllers, and mounting safety concerns.
Those pressures were underscored by the midair collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter over Washington, DC, in January 2025 that claimed 67 lives, which investigators have linked in part to staffing levels in the tower that night.
The 43-day government shutdown in late 2025 further underscored the system’s fragility, when mass controller callouts triggered thousands of flight disruptions and forced regulators to cut 10% of flights to manage capacity.
The FAA said there has been improvement, thanks to Duffy’s “supercharged” hiring plan, which has added bonuses for new hires, incentives for controllers to stay on in other roles after the mandatory retirement age of 56, and changes to speed up training by more than five months.
The agency said it met its hiring goal for the 2025 fiscal year, adding more than 2,000 new controllers, and that it’s already almost halfway toward its 2026 goal, with nearly 1,200 new hires to date.
