@ESPNBET@ESPNNBA Gambling is a plague on society. Stop ruining sports with it. Bad enough I get all the promoted predatory stuff on here. Why are you doing this? Can't I just enjoy the sport for the love of the game?
🏀 The New York Knicks went up 2-0 in the NBA Finals with a victory Friday night, putting them just two wins away from their first NBA title in 53 years.
The team is playing with the UAE government-backed “Experience Abu Dhabi” logo stitched onto its jerseys under a sponsorship deal worth around $30 million per year.
Rep. Jim McGovern (MA) says, “Fans should know that the sport they are enjoying is fueling crimes against humanity. They should know that the NBA is investing in the UAE, and the UAE is investing in atrocities in Sudan.”
The Knicks are the NBA’s only individual franchise with a direct sponsorship arrangement of this kind with the UAE. The broader NBA-UAE partnership is estimated to generate roughly $500 million in advertising revenue.

The silence from Democrats when Muslim colleagues and candidates are attacked is a cancerous rot.
We cannot lead our country out this moment if we're willing to accept the abuse or dehumanization of any marginalized group.
Most decent people hate zionism because it leads to oppression, mass murder and horror, but some people hate it because they'd wear a white hood if it was still fashionable.
The man who headed Trump's invasions of US cities joined the US and European far-right in Portugal to preach "remigration"—a plan to expel all minorities and immigrants. https://t.co/8YMXCvPQcX
This guy handled Middle East policy for four administrations of both parties. The embodiment of an incompetent and corrupt bipartisan foreign policy cartel that needs to be dismantled.
Bo French appears to be in a tight race to knock off incumbent Jim Wright in the Republican runoff for Railroad Commissioner.
His closing Election Day message underscored the sharp cultural war themes that defined the final stretch:
Earlier this week, State Senator Scott Wiener reposted dangerous, Islamophobic, and Zionist language on X. "The rise of Islamism" is falsely framed as the boogeyman in international politics and a threat to the West and the settler colony of Israel. Words have meaning, and these are deadly.
CAIR-SFBA calls on Sen. Wiener to issue an apology immediately and meet with Muslim constituents. Nobody should get away with hate speech.

An Israeli-born, Trump-appointed US attorney — who's referred to Palestinians as “animals,” called for Gaza to be wiped “off the map,” and suggested “even the children” in Gaza are terrorists — dropped charges against an Israeli tied to a biolab in Nevada.https://t.co/xyXP4Mtnlu
Jasmine Crockett has been spiraling since losing the Texas Senate primary.
Instead of taking the loss with grace, she went to St. Louis and held two fundraisers for Wesley Bell, Cori Bush’s AIPAC-backed opponent.
Then came the video.
Crockett was caught on camera, in a completely different accent, praising Bell and saying there was “no one better for this moment in Missouri’s 1st District than Wesley Bell.”
When people called it out, her influencer circle immediately went into damage-control mode, telling us not to believe what we saw and heard with our own eyes.
But Crockett did not help herself. She later claimed it was not a “formal endorsement,” said there was a “process,” and then plugged her PAC, making it look like support comes with condition$.
Now, she is boosting some of those same influencers as they mock Hasan Piker being subpoenaed by the Treasury Department over a humanitarian trip to Cuba.
This is exactly why people are tired of performative politics.
Crockett is showing us who she really is and some of us saw it from the beginning.
