Day 403

Soccer:

• Protests from fans throughout England against the Super Six.  And if you think the owners care about that...   
• UEFA will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to toss the Super League participants from the remainder of this year's Champions and Europa Leagues.  The one major problem:  This would crown the Champions League titlist outright, as three of the four semifinalists are in the Super League.  
• Mourinho has been sacked at Tottenham Hotspur, one of the Super Six.  Which raises immediate questions as to loyalty to the Super League.  This now means Mourinho has been fired from half of the 12 Founding Teams.   
• No word yet on the domestic leagues, but I can't see UEFA allowing the Founding Teams to continue in the domestic leagues, and the hue and cry is that they won't.
  
• Paris St. Germain and Bayern Munich will NOT, as of now, join the Super League.  ... and I believe this would mean PSG would be crowned Champions League champions by default, if I have my brackets correct.   
• One of the Super Six, Liverpool, plays today.  Jurgen Klopp has said neither he nor his players were consulted, but I'm not sure how, with Liverpool resigned, at least effectively, from UEFA, today's game with Leeds United can even go on.  I am aware of sports sanctioning bodies who make it clear that if their players or teams go outside the sanctioning body for unauthorized teams and players, they're banned too!   
• The game went on, and Leeds United got a late equalizer for the 1-1 draw.
• Serie A has already held an angry meeting with respect to the Super League, but the three Founding Teams had very little to say to it.  No decisions have been made yet.
  
• La Liga will not expel the three teams in the Super League, mainly because they have zero belief the Super League ever happens.
• Real Madrid's Florentino Perez believes UEFA is bluffing on expulsion from the Champions League.

Other:

• Closing arguments begin today in the Chauvin trial.  Get ready...   
• The comeback is over.  Alex Smith retires from the NFL.  But at least, it appears, on HIS terms...  
• Aldon Smith has just made himself a wanted man by the police for an assault Saturday night -- up to and including the Wanted poster.  When are some of you motherfuckers going to understand you are giving the KKK White Right in this country ALL THE FUCKING AMMUNITION THEY NEED?   
• Former Vice President Walter Mondale has passed away.
