Day 816

• Should be no surprise in Rot DeathSentence's Florida...  Five members of the Tampa Bay Rays exposed themselves as bigots, refusing to wear Pride patches for the team's Pride Night.
• Bigot Jason Adam, Bigot Jalen Beeks, Bigot Brooks Raley, Bigot Jeffrey Springs, and Bigot Ryan Thompson.
• Kevin Kiermaier and Jack Flaherty have already come out against the move.
• In a move long overdue -- and surprising, it being the Dodgers:  On THEIR Pride Night, they finally honored the man who broke the barrier for gay MLB players:  Glenn Burke.  My anonymous baseball-fan friend notes this was probably Lasorda, who is a bigot of his own right.
• The Canadian men's national soccer team wants to be paid commensurate to winning the CONCACAF Octagonal, and has gone on strike, cancelling an international friendly yesterday.
• Oklahoma softball has suffered it's third loss of the year, to UCLA.  The two teams had to play again to determine who goes to the championship series...
• Which Oklahoma mercy-ruled UCLA and eliminated them.
• They will face the winner between the two other teams to defeat Oklahoma, Texas and Oklahoma State, Texas forcing the same situation.
• To what should be no one's surprise, Phil Mickelson has decided to play in the first LIV event outside London this weekend.
• The face of the league, Greg Norman, has claimed Tiger Woods was offered most of a billion dollars to join LIV.
• Norman has also called Rory McIlroy brainwashed and Jack Nicklaus a hypocrite.  Well, one out of two is not bad...
• A 24th woman has sued DeShaun Watson.  Please, oh please, oh please, put the entire damn sport on trial.   
• Boris Johnson, largely due to COVID considerations, had to survive a no-confidence vote from his own party tonight to remain the UK's Prime Minister.  It appears there is no replacement ready, neither from the opposition NOR his own party.
