NFL Sunday Ticket, which allows football fans to watch out-of-market games, is the last major broadcasting package up for grabs. For a while, it looked like Apple was the favorite to land the package, which has belonged to DirecTV for years and years. #OffShoreMarkets
The NFL is used to doing things its way, which has meant keeping exclusivity for local markets with games featuring hometown teams. But Apple isn’t interested in the same old, same old. #OffShoreMarkets

Ukraine hasn’t claimed credit for the bridge bombing, nor has it commented on Russia’s arrests in the matter. Ukraine’s president, Volodomyr Zelenskyy, said the missiles targeted civilians and crippled energy, water and communications infrastructure. #OffShoreMarkets
