Day 168

• The Rams, Chargers, and 49ers will be fanless for the foreseeable for home games.
• The Lions called off practice yesterday in protest of the escalating tensions in Wisconsin -- which killed two last night and this morning.
• Soccer ultra-star Lionel Messi is on his way out of Barcelona and appears headed to dual deals with Manchester City in the EPL and NYCFC in the MLS.
• Nate McMillan has been fired as the coach of the Pacers.
• The British version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" will, in it's next aired series, have the series' first grand champion for a million pounds in 14 years.  The unnamed contestant is basically already being seen as the best contestant ever on the show, and it has already been spoiled that the contestant wins the game completely without the use of lifelines -- a John Carpenter without the call to his father!  (In actuality the first to do so, in reality the second.)
• Also in protest of the current situation in Kenosha, the Brewers refused to play tonight.  They got mutual consent with the other team -- the game will not be forfeited.
• And that began a cascade.  The Padres and Mariners called off tonight, as did the ESPN game of the Dodgers and Giants.  And after the Bucks said they wouldn't play, the NBA postponed the three Game 5's of the first round tonight.  And the MLS and WNBA.
• And tomorrow doesn't look good either for the NBA.  The Lakers and Clippers are reported by ESPN to wanting to end the season and playoffs now without a champion -- the rest of the league wants to play on at some point.  But it appears from reports that tomorrow's schedule may also be scrapped.
• Naomi Osaka has also decided to drop out of this week's WTA tournament in protest.
