Day 33: Starting With: Kyle, how could be so stupid?

• Kyle Larson has been banned.

Racial slur during the iRacing race, and he's GONE.  Suspended indefinitely by NASCAR, and it looks like his team is going to drop him.

Da FUCK, Kyle??  Look, there's no secret that there's all kinds of this conduct in gaming, but you HAVE TO know better.  

• In more somber news, Karl Anthony-Towns of the Timberwolves has lost his mother to this damn virus.
• The XFL officially folded today, filing bankruptcy.
• I don't think you need to read too many tea leaves to see how this went down:  The reason the WWE can now go live...  Because some animals are more equal than others -- WWE has been declared an essential business.  Pardon me while I puke. 
• And Olbermann, with a baseball theme tonight:

Tonight’s #Thurbercast #22. His 1941 baseball story “You Could Look It Up” which may - or may not - have presaged the actual use of a 43-inch tall pinch-hitter in a Major League Baseball game a decade laterhttps://t.co/LIT3HbUfot

• Which reminds me to give a continuing shout-out to MLBotball, a volunteer group of baseball fans simming the entire 2020 MLB regular season in real time on MLB The Show 20.  Twitch channel and website. 
• Another Saturday event for this Saturday:  Laughter Heals Gaming, a positivity-based gaming team, is putting together a Twitch event 5-8 PM Pacific on the 18th -- one of the three hosts is Georgia van Cuylenburg, the voice of Vanille in the Final Fantasy XIII series...

Going to be an awesome night of comedy and gaming! @thelovemaster @adamferrara @BRUCEJINGLES @DonFriesenComic @TheZaraMizrahi @AlonzoBodden @benthemorrison @GeorgiaVanC @ReemEdan
