Who is the best owner in MLB?
There is no owner of the NFL. This ain't wrestling and there ain't no Mister MacMahon. Each team is owned individually, and the owners elect a commissioner to handle the day to day business of the NFL (hiring executives, handing out fines and suspensions, organizing meetings for the rules committee, planning the Pro Bowl and Superbowl) while the team owners get on with running their team.
Is Matthew an Irish name?
No, "Matthews" is almost exclusively Welsh. It originates from the Hebrew name Matatyahu meaning "Gift from God."You may also notice that there are several spelling descrepancy's between Mathews, Mathew, Matthews, etc. The reason being is that when English invaded Wales and forced the Welsh to record their names. They could not read or write in English so the name was recorded as the scribe wrote it phoenetically. In Ulster MacMahon has been changed to Matthews in some cases. I believe Matthews may also be an English surname.
How did the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence conflict with the Balfour Declaration?
During the McMahon-Hussein correspondence in 1915/1916 the British promised the Arabs (Hussein was at their time their main spokesman) an own sovereign, independant country if they helf the British army defeating the Osman Empire during the 1st World War. Instead, not only did the Sykes-Picot agreement between France and England already divide the future Arab country in a french and a british part. With promising the influential Jews surrounding Chaim Weizman to form a Jewish homeland in Palastine (Balfour declaration), the British yet again had clashed the promise made by MacMahon to the Arabs.
