I don’t blame any country for forfeiting and I certainly don’t blame any fan for not wanting to travel, but there will be no meaningful boycott with respect to attendance or viewership. The demand for the World Cup is inelastic, even from strong policy led countries like Ger., Fr., S. Korea, etc.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Per Bears PR: Caleb Williams is the first Bears QB since at least 1991 to have multiple games with 2+ passing touchdowns of 35+ yards in a single half. The last NFL QB to do it was Lamar Jackson in 2023.

NEW EXTRA POINTS: I went to the Rio Grande Valley to go to the very first UTRGV football game. Here's what I learned about football in Texas, what makes the RGV a unique place, and building something for the community on their terms....not a school's. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/boots-on-t...

What I learned from a 66-0 beatdown was about more than just football

The WNBA should not approve this sale. He just wants an off-season tenant for the United Center. This will not level up the Sky with the rest of the league.

To be fair, the team is opening a new practice facility next season, although I’m pretty sure the league mandated that they build one.

I get "freedom = cars" in so many places but to me, a New Yorker, having a car seems so stifling. You have to figure out where to park, how to get gas, how to get home if you have 3 beers. What's actually freeing is being able to walk places and having trains that run wherever I want to go

I feel like schools like Cal, Stanford, and several others who probably aren’t willing to play the long game on NIL will eventually drop down to an FCS caliber level of football. Which is totally fine.

NIL and the portal have really hurt mid-majors. But also, maybe instead of inviting 14 SEC teams, we invite just one more A-10, MVC, or WCC team? Dayton, Bradley, & San Francisco would have all matched up well against this field. Bradley especially has power conf size and athleticism.
