Day 86

  • After his wife made posts on social media calling for people to kill the rioters looting and trying to run over people, Aleksandar Katai was called in to meet with officials of the LA Galaxy.  He was fired today with a financial settlement.  Oof.  That probably means they didn't like what they heard from him, either!  You are seeing a very definite counterattack on the part of the Right in this country in the last 48-72 hours.     
  • The current WNBA plan is a 22 game season at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL.
  • It really appears the media narrative about Major League Baseball is turning to a fact that the owners' attempt to continue to squeeze the players (which started as the open-faced collusion of LAST season) will cost the sport at least the entire 2020 season.  It appears now the MLB plan is now getting down to a 48-game regular season (meaning a July 31 Opening Day???)...  The MLBPA has at least gotten down to a half-season, but still.
  • There is now the belief that older coaches, in the expectation the NBA WILL have positive coronavirus tests in the restart, may be asked to refrain from the NBA, at least for the completion of the 2019-20 season.
  • The first PGA Tour event with fans appears to be getting ready to be The Memorial in Ohio, July 16-19. 
  • No Olbermann.  ESPN needed him Friday night.
