Day 306

• According to Sports Media Watch, the NFL ratings for the year were only down 7%.  I want the evidence on that one -- the numbers I saw were indicating 20-30%.   
• Mike Milbury has been fired by NBC for misogynistic comments, stating the NHL would be better off in a bubble, without women to distract the players.
• Sports Media Watch also reports early predictions for Super Wild Card weekend appear to match about a 7% drop in viewers for the weekend.
• A 7% drop for the Super Bowl would make it the least watched in about 15 years, about equivalent to the 2003-2007 period.
• A massive superspreader event kicked off in Tuscaloosa after the Tide won the national football championship -- leading to "ROLL COVID" trending.
• And speaking of superspreader events, it sounds like we have our answer on Flat-Earther Kyrie Irving...  He said he was sat for "personal reasons".  It's not personal reasons -- video has now surfaced of him at a family birthday event, no masks.  He's in violation of NBA COVID protocols and is now under NBA investigation -- out at least the week.  Just perfect for a clueless Flat-Earther.   (Yahoo)
• And now, something I've been railing the Rethuglipigs about...  They will no longer be able to support the US Olympic Team -- and now, good chance, neither might the rest of us...   Identified as one of the insurrectionists at the Capitol last week, US Olympic swimmer Klete Keller, who was a three-time Olympian (Sydney, Athens, Beijing).  Double gold medalist in the distance freestyle relay, double bronze medalist in an individual freestyle event.  Many are now calling for his medals to be removed.
• As if the University of Kentucky wasn't in enough hot water for it's men's basketball NBA farm team at 1-6, calls to stop the team, team shirts being burned, etc. ...  because they knelt for racial unity before a game at the University of Florida over the weekend.  AW COME THE FUCK ON!
