The NBA players are effectively locking themselves out of their own jobs while demanding an action that their business has no control over. I don’t see how this boycott/strike/lockout ends. The NBA can’t address any demands with the players or institute any additional changes.
I suppose if charges are brought in Kenosha the NBA players could declare victory and return to games, but they have no control over whether charges are brought. And they don’t even know all the facts in that case. None of us do.
I suspect LeBron — and some other older players — will want to finish the season. But the interesting angle here is the woke NBA LeBron created has now passed him by. I’m not sure how much the younger players will listen to him. He might be outwoked by them.
Which would mean LeBron’s last, best chance to win a title could go up in smoke over players refusing to play.

Caitlin Clark has broken ESPN. They have no idea how to address black lesbian women hating her because she’s white and straight because it shatters identity politics so you get word salads like this:
Caitlin Clark is Tiger Woods. She’s bringing an entirely new fan base to a sport. That should be something to celebrate for everyone. Instead it has broken sports media because she’s a white, straight girl from Iowa.
It remains to be seen how good Clark will actually be. But it’s illuminating to see how much identity politics has taken over sports. Tiger was overwhelmingly welcomed in the late 1990’s and every golfer got richer because of him. Caitlin has been overwhelmingly hated.

Reminder: the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was 100% real in 2020 — they’d had it since 2019! — yet gave all social media companies briefings claiming it wasn’t real when @nypost story dropped in October of 2020. The FBI 100% rigged the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
So who at the FBI ordered the rigging? They knew the laptop was 100% real. Yet they told the social media companies it might be foreign disinformation. The FBI intentionally lied! And we still don’t know who did and no one has been held accountable at all.
This, to me, is the biggest untold story of the Trump era. Someone inside our own FBI intentionally rigged the election for Joe Biden in 2020, got away with it, and have suffered zero consequences for it at all.

Two juvenile black kids got handguns & opened fire at the Kansas City Chiefs parade, hitting over 20 people & killing one. They likely committed 20+ felonies & should be charged as adults. Their parents/guardians should be charged like in Michigan with school shooting as well.
Their names have still not been released and given their race almost everyone in sports media who used this story as an opportunity to call for gun control will stop covering the story now. If a white Trump supporter had opened fire, it would still be the number one story in US.
You can’t solve the issue of gun violence without addressing the fact that gun violence is overwhelmingly committed by young black men. And young black men are almost always the victims too. The media refuses to acknowledge the issue of race because it makes them uncomfortable.

“Experts also said they were not surprised or concerned by the findings regarding seizures among vaccinated children.” “The study also detected a small rise in the incidence of seizures and convulsions after (the covid shots) but only among children aged 2 to 5.” This is criminal Image
“The analysis confirmed a previously observed risk of uncommon heart problems after (the covid shot), in children aged 12-17.” So other than giving old people and young people strokes & seizures and ruining young people’s hearts, the shots are great! Again, these are direct quotes from NYT, which shamed and bullied anyone for years who didn’t want to get these shots.
Sure some kids have seizures after the covid shot, but only if they’re ages 2-5. Imagine being an expert and saying this. These kids had a statistical risk from covid of zero. And “experts” scared parents into getting them for their kids and they had seizures. Indefensible.

Disney stock now trades below its price on July 14, 2014. So if you bought the stock nine years ago and simply held it, you have now lost money. Pretty incredible. Image
During this same nine year period of time during which the stock price has declined, Disney CEO @RobertIger has been paid hundreds of millions of dollars by the company. So he’s personally made himself, potentially, a billionaire while making stockholders no money at all over… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The justification for high CEO pay is that it’s a reward for performance that benefits stockholders. How can @disney’s board justify @RobertIger’s exorbitant compensation, which has made him potentially a billionaire, when he has vastly underperformed the S&P 500 — it’s up… https://t.co/pRQrqce0NJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Down to the last strike at Clemson and Zane Denton just hit it out of the stadium to give Tennessee a one run lead. (This is the time of the year when I go all in on college baseball. Most underrated college sport.)
Absolutely bonkers game. Headed to 11.
What an incredible game. Vols win it in 14 innings. About as good of a baseball game as there can be.
