What some of yall are missing is that the regular season was the sport.

The national championship is supposed to feel so unobtainable that EVERYTHING else matters.

This was the exact moment the sport died and when Kirk Herb decided he needed to hide behind dogs because how heavy of an influence he was in making it happen

From this moment forward it became 100% about money and it’s been full steam ahead from there

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to point out that when poll after poll showed Democrats losing ground with Arab Americans by massive margins in 2024, the media did not read it as a signal that Democrats had lost their way but as a moral failing by Arab American voters themselves.

Survey fans on cheaper tickets, $5 beers, free parking, no blackouts, every game on one affordable streaming service, no jersey ads and fewer commercials.

Funny how fan opinion suddenly matters when it aligns with the owners’ financial interests.

These guys aren’t prepared to sacrifice billions in revenue and risk a work stoppage out of concern for competitive balance. They do not give a shit about competitive balance.

Owners want a cap because they believe it benefits them financially. Full stop. The fan surveys are just a convenient way to sell it.

Trying to convince fans that billionaire owners suddenly care about them is insulting.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

I want you to think about this.

[casey at the bat @thebenchesclear]

i think the narrative we go with heading into the lockout is that smaller teams aren’t really being victimized by the top spenders as a collective, it’s really just the explicitly financially corrupt dodgers.

[Tipping Pitches @tipping_pitches]

Ahh yes, the convenient strategy of taking eight games out of the regular season and moving them into the postseason, where owners do not have to share their revenue!

rewatching Andor and this time around it struck me that Luthen Rael is not some heroic spy (girlfriend leaves room) if Luthen Rael was a B-Wing he would be the biggest one in space.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. https://t.co/Ij21tkb3qT

Social Security is a system that transfers my tax dollars to old people who then transfer that money to MGM Grand Riverside Casino

To put this in context, the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness and allied orgs just made a budget ask to help keep thousands of people in their homes for...$30 million

[Joseph Nolla, SJ @josephnollasj]

Arguing for the death penalty by appealing to the most famous case in world history of a guiltless man being wrongly executed is a titanic self-own
