Wearing a John Rocker jersey is the same as wearing a MAGA hat.

At what point do we just say boxing shouldn’t be a thing anymore?  I wonder if in 50 years people will look back in disbelief that this sport even existed in the 21st century.

If I may cosplay as a late-capitalism “marketing expert,” the problem is one of branding.

During the stoppage, Mokhtari asked the Nancy players to instruct the fans to stop.

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

Oh, you didn’t know that in addition to being a creep with gossamer-thin skin, Bauer is also fervently “pro-life”?

The irony here is that in the supposedly anti-parity MLB, nearly half (14) the teams in the sport have made it to the World Series just in the past decade (including low-payroll teams from Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Kansas City, and elsewhere) and 23 of 30 teams have made the playoffs in the past 5 years, despite there…

The salary cap does not, and was never designed to promote parity. It was designed to keep labor costs down, full stop. The draft is what keeps any semblance of parity going.

I don’t see how the salary cap is the problem here. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do - keep some semblance of equity of talent between teams. This is, admittedly, coming from a slightly salty Cavs fan, but still. I don’t like the idea of an NBA version of the Yankees.
