- AEW's Sammy Guevara may be without a job soon -- tweets of him making pro-rape advances toward WWE's Sasha Banks when he was far younger have surfaced in the #SpeakingOut movement.
- UPDATE 5 PM: Suspended indefinitely without pay, admits the comments. Major decision, Guevara was one of the young guns in the biggest heel faction in AEW.
- Banks went out of character to address the wrestling community that she and Guevara had a conversation, she condemned the comments, he apologized.
- But we're still waiting to see if the WWE wants to continue to paper over (because they knew already!) the allegations against Matt Riddle.
- Condemnation of the Bubba Wallace noose has been swift and severe, but no word as to whom within the NASCAR bubble did the deed.
- There are, however, a number of conservative protesters with "Defund NASCAR" banners, against the banning of the Confederate Flag. I'd chortle if it were any funnier.
- Before today's race, the entire NASCAR community (drivers, teams, pit crews -- including Richard Petty, his car owner (love to see the bigots and racists process that one!)) stood together on pit road in solidarity with Wallace. During the display, his car was symbolicly pushed to the front of the field by NASCAR's community. Later in the race, Wallace actually led with less than 30 laps to go. He finished 14th, Ryan Blaney won.
- Someone was not impressed with English football's acquiesence to Black Lives Matter -- flying a White Lives Matter banner above today's game in Burnley -- which Manchester City won 6-0. All relevant parties have condemned the move.
- MLBPA has rejected the 60-game offer from Manfred and the owners. Any 2020 season at all will be imposed.
- MLB SEASON IS IMPOSED: 60 games, July 24th Opening Day, March agreement on salaries, etc.
- The NWSL tournament will be minus at least one team -- Orlando will not be making the trip, with 10 positive coronavirus tests on the roster. More and more looking like team sports will be destroyed by the time this is all over.
- The first defection in the NBA: Portland's Trevor Ariza will not play the rest of the season -- opting to spend the time with his son instead.
- At least three WNBA players have joined them.
- At least one team is out of the winner-take-all Basketball Tournament because of a positive test of one of a team of West Virginia University alumni.
- The PGA Championship is a go for August 6-9 in San Francisco, fanless.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
