Don't look away from Bangladesh, the world's 8th most populous country, where 300+ have died in protests in recent days (nearly 100 today alone). Most victims were young, including several dozen children.
And even larger-scale loss of life is a real risk in the coming days.
.@Orioles fans, here are the official statements my partner Mike Arougheti and I issued to the media:
David M. Rubenstein said, “I thank John Angelos and his family for their leadership and ownership of the team over the last 30 years. John led a dramatic overhaul of the team’s management, roster, recruitment strategy, and farm system. We are building on these accomplishments thanks to the outstanding work of Mike Elias, his leadership team, Brandon Hyde, and our great players. We’re thrilled to have Catie Griggs soon join us as the new team President of Business Operations as we focus on winning on and off the field. As an ownership group we are firmly committed to this team and to my hometown. Our ownership group comprises a group of world class investors, Baltimore leaders, and sports legends who are committed to the success of the Orioles and the revitalization of Baltimore. We look forward to working with our partners in the city and state as we refurbish Orioles Park, develop the area surrounding Camden Yards, and enhance the experience for all Orioles fans.”
Michael Arougheti said, “I want to extend my sincere thanks to the Angelos family for their stewardship of the Orioles over the years. My partners and I are grateful and humbled by the opportunity to work alongside David Rubenstein and Orioles leadership to help guide the team into its Next Chapter. It has been energizing to see the outpouring of support from the great city of Baltimore and the best fans in baseball who have taken Orioles game attendance and TV viewership to a new level. We’re excited to push through the home stretch and remain committed to supporting Mike Elias, his outstanding leadership team, Brandon Hyde, and our incredible players on bringing a World Series title back to Baltimore.”

The Indian government is removing historical chapters from school textbooks. Hundreds of historians and educators are protesting the changes.
So why is the ruling BJP party trying to erase India’s history?
The Kevin Brown news is obviously distressing enough on its own, but given the history around here it makes me feel uneasy about it pointing to further dysfunction in the organization.
Instead of talking about all the great things the Orioles have accomplished this season, Twitter is aghast at the Kevin Brown debacle.
Columnist @kylegoon credits one entity for that: The Orioles
