Day 460

  • Brazilian health officials now report 31 new COVID-19 cases by team players and staff and 10 more for tournament staff for the Copa America.
  • Christian Eriksen spoke to fans for the first time about his condition -- he says he's fine, given all the circumstances of Saturday's collapse.
  • The WNBA will hold an All-Star Game this year as a final tuneup for the USA women's basketball team, should the Tokyo Olympics still be held.  The voting will be to determine a pool of 36 WNBA players not on the national team from which coaches will choose 12 to face Team USA on July 14th.
  • Tampa's Tyler Glasnow has a UCL injury -- as a result of no longer being able to use sunscreen to grip the ball.  Just put it on a fucking tee and let them do it.   
  • A parachutist invaded Euro 2021 today, a Greenpeace anti-oil protestor who caused several injuries in Munich, just before the kickoff of France-Germany.  The whole cauldron is about to boil over.  If it doesn't here, it will in the World Cup.   
  • US Soccer is still adamnant that the women will never be paid the same as the men. Again, they should be paid MORE.  They're the only reason you even have relevance as an organization, you fucking hacks!!!   
  • The last World Cup cycle:  Men's total purse, $400M.  Winners share:  $38M.  Women's total purse:  $30M.  Winners share:  $4M.
  • A Monday qualifier for the Korn Ferry Tour went postal yesterday.  One golfer arrested for attacking another.  Slow play due to the attacked not wishing to aid in the search for lost balls in the rough.
  • A boxing match and rap concert which were scheduled for Miami as the first Miami full-seating event post-COVID was postponed today -- one of the fighters HAS COVID.
  • DraftKings stock dropped about 10% for a time today, after an investing researcher has tied about half of DraftKings' traffic to illegal and mob gambling.  Oh gee, what a fucking shock...  Water is wet, film at 11.
