Aston Villa had a stoppage-time goal disallowed as they drew 0-0 with Juventus in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.

CDC chief urges focus on health threats as agency confronts political changesLIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Kylian Mbappe hoped his move to Real Madrid would finally see him end his wait to win the Champions League. Instead, the France international and defending champion Madrid are in danger of being eliminated from European club soccer's elite tournament at the first stage after Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool leaves them in a fight just to make the playoffs for the next round. And if Madrid does make an early exit, Mbappe may look back on a miserable night at Anfield where he was humbled by a young defender and then missed a penalty that would have leveled the score. World Cup winner Mbappe looked a shadow of himself against a Liverpool team that leads the way in the Premier League and the Champions League this season. He was brought crashing down by a crunching tackle from 21-year-old right back Conor Bradley when threatening to burst through on goal in the first half — sparking a huge cheer from the home crowd. It got worse for Mbappe after the break when he had the chance to make it 1-1 from the penalty spot after Alexis Mac Allister had given six-time European champion Liverpool the lead. But with Caoimhin Kelleher to beat, he saw his effort pushed away by Liverpool's back-up goalkeeper. Mohamed Salah also missed a spot kick of his own, but substitute Cody Gakpo doubled the home team's advantage. Record 15-time European Cup winner Madrid is 24th in the new-look 36-team league phase of the Champions League. The to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a playoff. Victory saw new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot manage something his predecessor Jurgen Klopp never could by beating Real in the Champions League. His team extended its perfect record in the competition and is top of the standings after five games. Each team plays eight games in the opening phase. Madrid plays Atalanta next month and Liverpool faces Girona. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer: James Robson, The Associated Press

‘I can’t see a lyric’: Elton John partially lost sight after eye infectionWell, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's "America's Got Talent" meets "American Idol," with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it's never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at "Dream Team" status given the men's side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023. The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. "We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport," said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. "We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world." Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores. "Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That's something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok, the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado's two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. "If a receiver is running around, I'm thinking, 'OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,'" Daniels explained. "They're like, 'No, you can't.' I'm just like, 'So I'm supposed to let this guy just run?!' I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn." The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. "I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. "I'm not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, 'I played NFL football for five years. I'm popular. I have a huge name.' I'm still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise." Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It's his way of working on avoiding a "defender" trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. "You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the 'Redeem Team' led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, 'That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. "Everybody thinks, 'Yeah, the U.S. just wins,'" Daniels said. "But we work hard all the time. We don't just walk in. We don't just get off the bus thinking, 'We're going to beat people.'"

Lebanese-American Artist George Dfouni Writes and Composes A New Dance Hit in Egyptian DialectAston Villa denied last-gasp winner in Juventus stalemateBREAKING NEWS Conor McGregor issues shock 120-word statement vowing to appeal his sex assault courtroom defeat but admitting 'mistakes' and 'regrets': Shamed MMA star addresses cheating on 'the woman I love most in the world' By KATHERINE LAWTON Published: 23:15, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:34, 25 November 2024 e-mail 6 View comments Conor McGregor has issued a fresh statement vowing to appeal his civil sexual assault case defeat but admitted he has made 'mistakes'. The 36-year-old UFC star is fighting to salvage his reputation after he lost a civil case brought by Nikita Hand, 35, who won almost €250,000 (£210,000) in damages on Friday after accusing him of rape. McGregor has been known to post and delete furious rants about his victim , recently uploading and removing an angry tirade against Ms Hand just yesterday. Tonight, he has again vowed to appeal the High Court's decision but expressed his 'regret' over 'mistakes' made. Writing on X, formerly Twitter , he said: 'People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes. 'Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That's all on me. 'As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.' He added: 'I can't go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That's it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!' Conor McGregor has issued a fresh statement vowing to appeal his civil sexual assault case defeat but admitted he has made 'mistakes' McGregor, pictured with his partner of 15 years Dee Devlin, outside the High Court in Dublin McGregor and his partner leave the High Court after the case against him Nikita Hand (pictured outside court) who successfully sued Mr McGregor for rape In a now-deleted post made yesterday, McGregor quickly blasted the verdict and vowed to appeal, highlighting that he was awaiting to be 'vindicated' like his friend was. Addressing the 'heinous accusation' he said: 'Two men falsely accused. One vindicated, the other soon to be! 'Congrats James Lawrence on absolute exoneration! Twice this heinous accusation was put to you and twice it was shown as FALSE! LIES! 'It is absolutely disgraceful what they put you through here. Disgraceful! 'I look forward to seeing you further vindicate yourself and lambast those responsible in court! 'We know what happened that night! Everyone present knows, yet it was ignored. 'Every single statement of persons present on the night was ignored. And they all disputed Nikita's LIES! 'However James they did believe you but just in certain parts for some strange reason. And they apparently did not believe Danielle Kealy at all. Laughable!' The controversial Irishman may also face further battles because at least four women have made similar allegations over the past five years - and may now feel empowered to sue him despite police and prosecutors rejecting their cases. Ms Hand said outside court on Friday: 'To all the victims of sexual assault. I hope my story is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be, speak up, you have a voice, and keep on fighting for justice.' She convinced a jury in Dublin that McGregor was lying when he denied he had 'brutally raped' and 'battered' her in a hotel penthouse during a drink and cocaine-fuelled Christmas 'after party' in 2018. She gave harrowing evidence describing how she was choked and 'kept thinking I would die'. Six years later she was vindicated in court in a case that heard her partner was stabbed when masked men invaded their home earlier this year. McGregor, pictured with his partner of 15 years Dee Devlin Footage showed Conor McGregor's sexual assault accuser sitting with the MMA fighter at a Miami club table in the minutes after she claims he molested her in a bathroom last year An Irish woman claimed a 'possessed' McGregor attacked her on his yacht during a party in Spain, forcing her to jump into the water to escape, according to reports in 2023. Pictured: McGregor is seen on his yacht in Ibiza in July 2022 In 2020 he was detained over an alleged sex attack in this Corsica bar French gendarmes appeared on a quay to arrest McGregor (at the right wearing a baseball cap) on the French island of Corsica over an alleged sexual assault attempt. The case was later dropped McGregor has been accused of sex attacks on at least four other occasions, all of which were dismissed police, most recently in Miami last year at the NBA Finals. In every case case he has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and on at least one occasion sources close to him said allegations of sexual assault were mendacious and money-related. The case was brought by Ms Hand after Ireland's director of public prosecutions decided in 2020 not to bring criminal charges against McGregor and his friend James Lawrence due to a lack of evidence and no reasonable prospect of conviction. After deliberating for six hours and 10 minutes, the jury in the civil case she brought returned with their verdicts in the civil trial against Conor McGregor last week. Mr McGregor shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men returned with their verdict. Claims of sexual assault against Conor McGregor December 2018: Claim of sexual assault and rape in a Dublin hotel by Nikita Hand Outcome: No criminal case. McGregor lost civil claim in 2024 October 2019: Woman in 20s claims she was sexually assaulted by him in vehicle outside pub in Dublin Outcome: No criminal case. No civil claim. September 2020: McGregor is detained in Corsica for alleged indecent exposure and sexual assault Outcome: Criminal case dropped. No civil claim July 2022: Samantha Murphy accuses him of sexual assault on yacht in Ibiza Outcome: No criminal case. Civil claim dropped in 2023 July 2023: McGregor is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in bathroom at the Kaseya Center in Miami during NBA final Outcome: No criminal case. No civil claim. Advertisement Responding to media reporting of Ms Hand's comments outside the court on Friday when she declared 'justice has been served', McGregor wrote on X: 'Justice was served for James Lawrence, yes!' in reference to his co-accused, who was cleared of assault. Nikita Hand, vicious liar! APPEAL!' In another post, he wrote: 'Falsely accused a man of rape and lost.' His own legal costs are understood to be around €300,000 and he will likely have to cover a large chunk of Ms Hand's costs, likely to be in the region of €500,000. These would be paid by him on top of the almost €250,000 (£210,000) he must pay her in damages. On Monday, game developer IO Interactive revealed they will no longer be working with McGregor, whose voice featured as The Disruptor in the game Hitman . The company stated: 'In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. 'We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.' Almost a year after the hotel incident, McGregor was accused of another sex attack. In October 2019, police received another complaint against him from a woman who said he had sexually assaulted her in a car outside a Dublin pub. The UFC fighter denied the claim and prosecutors did not pursue any action over the complaint. In September 2020, McGregor was detained and questioned by authorities on the French island of Corsica for alleged indecent exposure and sexual assault in a bar. He spent two days in custody. Eight months later, police and prosecutors declared a lack of sufficient evidence to justify a criminal prosecution. The investigation is said to have included DNA collection that corroborated his version of events. In July 2022 an Irish woman claimed McGregor attacked her on his yacht during a party in Spain , forcing her to jump into the water to escape. The woman is understood to have claimed the UFC star kicked her in the stomach, punched her in the face and left her bruised during celebrations in Ibiza for his 34th birthday in July, describing him as 'possessed'. Asked whether McGregor was under investigation, a spokesman for the investigating magistrate said: 'I can confirm a court in Ibiza is investigating an Irish national for an alleged crime of wounding.' McGregor, his mother Margaret and partner Dee Devlin outside the High Court in Dublin In 2022 Samantha Murphy claimed she was attacked by the fighter off Ibiza and jumped off his boat (pictured in St Tropez) to escape Karen Kessler, a spokesperson for McGregor, told MailOnline at the time: 'Mr. McGregor is steadfast in his denial of all the accusations made by a guest on his boat.' The local newspaper Periodico de Ibiza wrote: 'According to her complaint, the mixed martial arts star became violent by surprise. 'After beginning to criticise the victim, the trigger for the attack was according to her that she tried to get a friend who was on board the yacht to help her.' Read More Khabib Nurmagomedov's 2019 tweet accusing Conor McGregor of being a 'r*****' resurfaces Appearing to quote apparent extracts from the complaint, the paper said: 'His behaviour changed at that moment and he became very aggressive. 'It was as if he was possessed,' Periodico de Ibiza reported she claimed in her statement. 'I knew I had to leave the boat because I thought he was going to kill me. 'We have common friends and I have met him on a number of occasions. I can't believe what he did to me. I think he would have killed me if I hadn't left the yacht.' Periodico de Ibiza also claimed that in her statement to the Gardai a few days after she returned to Ireland at the end of July last year, she attributed her initial unwillingness to press charges in Spain to a state of shock when she was helped ashore by rescuers after she apparently jumped into the sea to escape. It said she had complained she was wearing just her bikini when she went into the water. She said she had no money or phone and just wanted to get back to her hotel as soon as possible, the newspaper added. It reported that she claimed in her Irish police statement: 'They left me stranded. They wouldn't even abandon a dog the way they did me.' Samantha Murphy revealed she was the woman and later launched a civil case against McGregor after the alleged incident last summer. The former UFC champion has faced a range of other legal claims in recent years, during which he has left and returned to the sport a number of times. Pictured: McGregor celebrates after defeating Donald Cerrone in a welterweight bout during UFC246 at T-Mobile Arena on January 18, 2020 in Las Vegas Ms Murphy claims she suffered a broken arm after she was forced to jump from McGregor's yacht while it was anchored off the coast of the Spanish island of Formentara. After making her formal statement, the woman's car was set ablaze outside of her Dublin home. In February 2023, a brick was reportedly thrown through a window of that residence. In the same month it emerged that her civil claim was discontinued - but it is not clear if it was settled or thrown out. In June 2023 the MMA fighter, who at the time was expecting his fourth child with his fiancée, was accused of forcing the unnamed accuser to perform a sex act on him in the VIP men's bathroom at Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami. A video obtained by TMZ showed him leading her into the men's bathroom where she claims she was assaulted. He appeared to lead her by the hand into the bathroom, before the door is closed behind them. McGregor's entourage of security guards is then shown blocking the entrance to the door. His attorneys say the footage undermined the woman's original allegation that he and his security guards forced her into the restroom. McGregor denied the allegations. A source close to McGregor said at the time that he would cooperate fully with the investigation, but added the woman's claims are false and that she is only interested in the star's money. On October 18 2023, the case was dropped. It now remains to be seen if any of these women might also be willing to launch a new civil claim against him.

All Roads Lead to 2024's Los Angeles Auto Show Offering Unmatched Guest Experiences, Vehicle Debuts and Special Exhibits for Attendees of all Ages-- Shares Facebook Twitter Reddit Email By some measures — depending on how much caviar is in your diet — you might call it a tough week for a couple of America’s most prominent CEOs. The chief executives of Tesla and Intel lost out on massive stock payout packages: Tesla’s Elon Musk would've received $56 billion if a judge hadn't voided the plan , while Intel’s now former CEO Pat Gelsinger could’ve taken home an estimated $140 million if he had turned the company around. But don’t fret — Musk, Gelsinger and the nation’s top CEOs are still very, very rich. Musk, who runs several other businesses , has an estimated net worth of $353 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , which lists him as the world's richest person. Gelsinger earned at least $46 million during his four years at Intel, according to a Fortune analysis. They’re in gilded company: The average top American CEO took home $22.2 million in 2023, according to data from the Economic Policy Institute . Meanwhile the average American earns roughly $59,228 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is a reminder — or, perhaps, an education — of two things. First, those who don't meticulously track CEO compensation may be unaware that for many American chief executives, most of their pay comes in the form of stock payout packages that accompany their base salaries and bonuses. And second, even when they miss out on their packages, they’re still staggeringly wealthy, and their paydays dwarf the cash earnings their average employee will see. Related Is America's fascination with billionaires finally coming to an end? Stocks account for most CEO pay Payout packages can be mind-boggling for the average person who isn’t a member of their local yacht club. In 2023, stock awards — which can trigger millions of dollars in payouts to a CEO if their company’s stock price reaches a certain value — made up roughly 77% of the average CEO’s compensation, according to the Economic Policy Institute. For CEOs taking home $22.2 million per year, that means roughly $17 million of those earnings would come in the form of stock payout packages. (In 2023, the median value of a CEO’s stock awards package was roughly $9.4 million .) One theory of why CEOs' compensation structure has shifted toward stock incentives is that it incentives the CEO to make business decisions geared toward raising the stock price, rather than betting on a long-term plan that may not immediately turn a profit. We need your help to stay independent Subscribe today to support Salon's progressive journalism Corporate decisions to downsize can also increase stock prices. A Bloomberg analysis in 2023 found that, on average, major American tech companies’ stock prices rose 5.6% in the month following layoff announcements. In 2023, after Google’s parent company Alphabet announced it would lay off 12,000 workers, its stock price rose 5%, according to The New York Times . Microsoft laid off 10,000 workers that year, too; its stock price rose roughly 6% . Those workers, typically, earn a miniscule fraction of what their CEO makes. In 2023, top CEOs earned 290 times as much as their average worker, according to the Economic Policy Institute. That means that at a company in which the average worker makes a $60,000 salary, its CEO would be taking home an average of $17.5 million. The earnings gap between CEOs and their workers wasn’t always this dramatic. In 1965, the average CEO made 21 times as much as one of their typical workers, per the Economic Policy Institute data. That’s still a steep discrepancy — hypothetically, $60,000 for the worker versus $1.26 million for the CEO. CEO pay soars above workers’ wage growth Top executives' earnings serve as a stark illustration of corporate America’s wage inequality, which has become more severe over the last 40 years. Between 1978 and 2023, top CEO compensation rose 1,805% while the average worker’s compensation rose 24% over that same time period Between 1978 and 2023, top CEO compensation rose 1,805% while the average worker’s compensation rose 24% over that same time period, per the Economic Policy Institute. To illustrate that difference: a $60,000 salary increasing by 24% would translate to $74,400, while that same salary growing by 1,805% would yield $1.1 million. Now, consider that the CEO’s compensation was likely starting at far above $60,000, and you’ve got a working understanding of just how wide the gulf has become between a company’s top executive and the workers who, in theory, are producing the product or service that earns the company its profits. The Institute also found that top executives' base salaries, bonuses, stock awards and stock options fell 19.4% from 2022 to 2023 even though the stock market was up. But this doesn't necessarily mean that company boards are pulling back on CEO pay. 'An activist posing as a judge' On Dec. 1, a Delaware judge reaffirmed her ruling to void Musk’s colossal pay package — “the largest executive compensation award in the history of public markets,” as she described it in her ruling . The 10-year, performance-based plan didn't include a salary but would have given Musk additional Tesla shares the more the company grew, NPR reported. The pay package was worth $2.6 billion when it was granted by Tesla's board in 2018; by the time Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick initially voided it in January 2024, its value had swelled to $56 billion, per Bloomberg . McCormick called the pay package “ deeply flawed ,” observing that the board’s compensation committee “worked alongside [Musk], almost as an advisory body,” rather than negotiating with him. The ruling resulted from a 2019 lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder in which he claimed the pay package was approved without requiring Musk to focus solely on Tesla operations. (In addition to running Tesla, Musk also leads the social media platform X — formerly known as Twitter — along with SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company and xAI.) After her ruling, Musk posted a succinct tweet (Xeet?) on X: “ Absolute corruption .” He later called McCormick “ an activist posing as a judge " and said he planned to appeal. Also on Dec. 1, Intel announced the departure of Gelsinger, who took the helm in 2021 with big plans to rescue a company that has struggled in recent years against new chipmakers like Nvidia. Intel’s stock has fallen more than 50% this year, and a source told Fortune that Gelsinger’s efforts “were not showing results quickly enough.” Gelsinger, who received $38.7 billion in salary, bonus, and vested stock and exercised stock options since his tenure began, is set to receive an additional $7 million to $10 million in severance as it ends, Fortune reported. He missed out on a larger payday in the form of performance-stock because Intel's stock plummeted amid its competitors' success, per Fortune.
