La Liga Considering Naming MVP Award After Messi

FC Barcelona's captain Lionel Messi is arguably the most dominant player in La Liga history. With that acknowledgement, the president of La Liga, Javier Tebas - a renowned Real Madrid fan - recently admitted that the league (La Liga) has been giving some thought to naming the MVP award after the Argentinian No. 10 when he retires.

The Blaugrana No. 10 is La Liga's leading goalscorer of all time, and is largely considered to be the best player to have played in the top Spanish league.

With Spain's history of naming, footballing awards after some of its greatest-ever players, naming an award after Messi can't possibly be a far-fetched idea. The most popular Spanish awards named after players are the Pichichi for top goal scorer of the season and the Zamora for the best goalkeeper.

La Liga president Javier Tebas, believes Messi deserves to have an award named after him for having dominated football in Spain for so many years.

Messi has won five Pichichi awards so far, has been the top assist provider on four occasions and has won the Spanish League (La Liga) nine times.

Javier Tebas recently told Omnisport, "I like that idea, we would have to think about it.

"I think Messi will be the best in football history, he already is.

"Some people talk about Neymar but he is already 26 years old and, as far as I remember, Messi started to play for Barcelona as a youngster and he surprises us every year. He seems not to have limits and he plays at a maximum level.

"He is the best and I think it's a great idea to create a trophy for the best player every season named (after) Leo Messi.

"If it is (Telmo) Zarra for the best scorer… I think it's a great idea."

The finger-cutting tradition of Indonesia's Dani tribe

The death of a loved one is always an extremely painful thing to bear, and people of different cultures grieve in diverse ways, some more unique than others. A typically unique way of grieving is that of the Dani (an Indonesian tribe). Finger-cutting is a fundamental part of grieving for women of the Dani tribe, and pertains to their women only. According to The Globe and Mail, an estimated 250,000 Dani tribe members live in a town named Wamena, in the extremely remote central highland area of Papua Province. Wamena is only accessible by plane. Upon the death of a loved one, the top joint of one of a woman's fingers would be amputated, and smear ashes and clay across their faces.

In most cases, the responsibility of cutting off the top joint of the finger is assigned to one of the woman's...
