Great article by @seaningle on sports’ resilience to changing viewing and media consumption habits.

So do those conspicuous by their silence on this issue but curiously vocal on more…fashionable/less risky causes. Per Kendrick Lamar “Capitalists posing as compassionates be offending me…”

[Ian Wright @IanWright0]

Now more than ever let's get behind & support these young people. We can all see what's happening & who's being set up to be the face of defeat. We are going to be gas lit with explanations & justifications, but those deciding who goes on the back pages know what they’re doing. Let's keep our energy focused on giving these players pure love & support throughout the tournament.

I'll be on @SkySportsNews at 715 (about 20 mins) talking about how FFP and costs controls can impact a club's transfer strategy.

Hope you'll tune in.

Taking that moment to scan the field after dropping the punt and picking it up before leaving everyone in his wake…like Neo from The Matrix films seeing where Agent Smiths will strike before they do.

One of the great moments in @Eagles history.

Congrats on an incredible career, @DeSeanJackson10. 🙌

Really enjoyable chat with one of the best in the business.

The independent commission verdict on Everton kicks open the door to potential compensation claims from a number of aggrieved clubs.

But what are the chances of success? I spoke to @SportsLawBore to find out more.

The same independent commission that docked Everton 10 points for breaching PL financial rules will decide on any compensation claims from rival clubs. 
Panel made up of barrister David Phillips KC, judge His Honour Alan Greenwood, and chartered accountant Nick Igoe

[Nick De Marco KC @nickdemarco_]

At the same time as publishing the important Everton points deduction decision the PL also published a short decision following a hearing that took place back in early May in which I acted for 5 other clubs that has until now remained confidential: https://t.co/DqTSFSYjYd

As usual with arbitration I can’t comment on the proceedings but the short decision should be of interest to many as it is to my knowledge the first case to consider the PL rule allowing for clubs to claim compensation in disciplinary proceedings, the purpose of which was acknowledged to be to avoid the multiplicity of different proceedings (para 6)

Readers can note 3 things from the now public judgment:

1) under the rules other clubs may in principle have a claim for compensation and such claims will be dependent on the outcome of the PL complaint amongst other things - see para 11;

2) despite PL rule W.27 providing the right to a club to apply to be awarded compensation in disciplinary proceedings, the rights to intervene were viewed as very limited (e.g paras 12-13); and

3) the commission was asked to determine the complaint before June this year but found it was impossible to do so (paras 16-17).

Most interesting is the notion that a finding as to whether he was consciously racist had to be made at all! Would it be simpler and less subjective to make acts of discrimination strict liability offences? That wouldn't preclude rehabilitation/contrition but would be 0-tolerance

[Nii Anteson @SportsLawBore]

While we await further developments in the rugby concussion litigation, interesting to note that a claim of a similar nature against the NCAA has failed; no doubt on its specific facts. However, it highlights the causation hurdle such claims must overcome

The tagline for this excellent @AllenOvery campaign is, ‘If you can see it, you can be it'. I certainly found being among the brilliant and accomplished people in this video an inspiration. Having seen it, I’m determined to continue to embody it. https://t.co/f5GdFmQQKZ
