Day 84

• Financial Fair Play regulations have also earned Turkish league leader (with eight rounds to go, they have a goal-difference advantage, and play is scheduled to start next week) Trabzonspor a one-year ban from European club play.
• Drew Brees has officially come out against the "taking a knee" movement.  Anyone surprised needs to remember how the last two seasons have ended for the Saints.  He's going to try to MAGAt his way to a Super Bowl.  (I believe he will fail.)     
• Aaron Rodgers, however, has gone the other way.
• A number of players are very angry with Brees, and it very easily could happen that, if a 2020 season occurs, he could well have a target on his back.  (One of them, for example, is Richard Sherman of the 49ers.)
• The 114-game plan the MLBPA presented the owners has been rejected, with no counteroffer.  There is word management might go as low as 50 games, which would actually start the season in August.  Season cancellation forthcoming.     
• Olbermann off for his usual Wednesday off.
• And history on the BotBall fields.  MLBotBall has it's first no-hitter, and it was not simmed.  German Marquez of the Rockies no-hit the Diamondbacks in the final full-broadcast game of the day, 3-0. 
• It is becoming clear that much of the Internet is not doing regular content, almost as if it's a "choose sides" motif.  One of the largest Twitch channels of the last week or so is Woke, with coverage during the relevant parts of the day of the protests -- usually NOT when they become violent, unlike the news media.
• A number of regular-content events which have taken place over the coronavirus pandemic have been shelved.  And at least one charity marathon, scheduled for this weekend, has been pulled, Zeldathon's Side Quest.  Instead, Twitch will be highlighting fundraisers geared to the African-American community.
• Including the Cageside Seats article on this because you can read what he said, but The Rock had some words for the Asshole in Chief and his supporters.
