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

Day 102
Sleep schedule's been turned around -- but all hail English soccer and the Korean baseball.
Word coming out is, because of Canadian restrictions, the Toronto Blue Jays may have to go down to Tampa and play their home games at Tropicana Field.
The #SpeakingOut scandal continues -- really appears as if the master of the YouPorn Plex is done. Joey Ryan has a number of allegations against him.
Chris Jericho is continuing his Saturday Night Special series -- here's #11, a Q&A -- or, as the Canadian puts it, a Q and Eh:
AND HERE WE GO IN NASCAR: Bubba Wallace, the series only Black driver, has found a noose in his garage at the Talladega race. Given the restricted nature of access to the tracks, that is especially disturbing! Weather washed out the race Sunday. They'll try again Monday.
Olbermann:
This evening’s #Thurbercast No. 68: his fable “The Mouse And The Money” followed by the amazing story of his great grandfather - the one who met Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and both Adamses, in “Time Exposure.”https://t.co/cuRL87mWVT
At least one American independent wrestling promotion is finished due to #SpeakingOut. Joey Ryan's Bar Wrestling is shutting down.
And one of the larger UK organizations, PROGRESS, is undergoing a serious re-staff, if not an outright closure as well.
The 2020 ESPYs were held virtually on Sunday night.
Nelson Cruz won the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award
The LA Dodgers won it's team counterpart.
The "Can't Stop Watching" Moment went to another one of those "manager gets on the court for Senior Night" moments -- Thomas Lee, nicknamed "Snacks" for his girth, drilled a 3-pointer from Steph Curry range for the honors.
Kevin Love won the Arthur Ashe Award For Courage for his mental-health advocacy efforts.
The Jimmy V Award was awarded to Taquarius Wair, a small Indian college running back, burned over most of his body quite badly at the age of four, but came back to play football in the small college.
They created a Pat Tillman Service Award for the former NFL player fragged by "friendly fire" in the military. This year's honoree: Kim Clavel, a female NABF champion boxer who put her career on hold to be a frontline medical worker against the coronavirus.
The Stuart Scott ENSPIRE Award was given to the WNBA and it's Players Association.
Normally, the ESPYs give out awards for achievement on the field in sports, both individual sports and collective awards for athletes of the year. No such awards were given in this year's edition, largely due to the COVID-19 shutdowns and the desire for ESPN and Disney to honor the above.
