- There are days I literally see something which falls into the category of "Why do I bother trying?" I did, however, try to promise someone I wasn't going to fall into complete trolldom for the sake of trolldom, so I'll let it sit for a bit.
- According to Keith Olbermann (through Mick Albicocco), he has video of Rob Manfred attempting a publicity stunt for the Mets-Marlins protest last night. What he didn't count on was the walk-out/wildcat strike.
Holy shit Rob Manfred is trying to force the Mets to pull a social justice awareness stunt tonight by having the players symbolically leave the field at 7:10 before returning an hour later to play at 8:10 even though the players don’t want to play tonight pic.twitter.com/4BJLaPUkoy

- Guys, Manfred is CLEAR White-Right. He has done more to bring The National Pastime to the KKK whims of the President than anyone since about Keenesaw Mountin Landis.
- At least nine NFL teams in total cancelled practice yesterday.
- The Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has resigned, citing his health. Note that, in Japanese culture, though, usually citing health reasons is a saving-face motif.
- The Big Ten is now considering a Thanksgiving football start.
- The Athletics-Astros game became the eleventh to be refused by MLB players over the current rioting.
- In an "Only in 2020" moment... It appears as if the season-long BotBall project may be in serious technical trouble. The stream has been increasingly intermittent over the course of the last several weeks. And now, there's a very real chance that, due to an increasing possibility of a lawsuit between the person who's the head of the operation and his ISP, that the ISP is no longer even fielding technical calls to fix the problems in the stream.
