The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.

Day 64
NASCAR's ambitious relaunch begins Sunday, and has now expanded to five Southern states, and 19 total races in five weeks -- nine Cup, six Xfinity, three Truck Series races, and an ARCA race.
A message from someone near and dear to my heart -- and who has probably cheated death by cancer at least twice:
Tampa Bay ace Blake Snell refuses to play for any reduced salary -- which appears to be an owners' condition of there being a 2020 MLB season. He claims to have the support of several others, and, though he understands the disgust, stands behind his comments.
James Harrison claimed to Barstool Sports that a 2010 hit to Mohammed Massquoi was followed by the giving of an envelope by coach Mike Tomlin. (ESPN) He was fined $75,000 for the hit, reduced to $50,000 -- and says he would've killed Massaquoi (who was knocked out of the game with a concussion) if he knew it would get that kind of a fine. Art Rooney, the owner of the Steelers, obviously denies this -- the NFL has no comment. Sean Payton thinks this will get swept under the rug... ... and I think Payton is correct.
University of Akron has cut men's cross-country and golf and women's tennis to try to stay in Division I.
DeAndre Baker (New York Giants) and Quinton Dunbar (Seattle Seahawks) had arrest warrants issued for an armed robbery which allegedly happened at a party last night. Four counts each of armed robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm. Keep it up, fuckers, and there may be fewer people than you think missing the NFL if it can't play this fall...
The owner of Italian football club Udinese does not believe Serie A should be started until Italy has passed the "critical phase".
On the other hand, the CPBL in Taiwan will now allow 2000 fans to attend each game, will sell some concessions, and allow family members to sit next to each other.

With all the thuggery being allowed in the NFL, fixing games, and allowing the Patriots to exist (and get away with what they have been doing), I may not miss the league if it went away for a year or so.
Those arrest warrants did not do the NFL any favors in that regard. In fact, they could open the #NFLBoycott crowd into thinking this IS the true nature of many of the players, and decide to turn their backs on the League again.
