@Public_Citizen 69% of ALL voters support #Medicare4All. Yet, neither party will put it on the platform, even during a pandemic.
Why is that? Who is being represented?

So they are on pace to hold around 500 total matches this years and according to White they have around 1,000 fighters under contract who they are required to give 3 fights to each of them every year. Hmm that doesn’t seem to math.

COMPLY WITH ANTITRUST LAWS.
The NCAA is pure collusion and illegitimate.
Marsha Lycan@mlycan12
One year ago, the NCAA blindsided college athletics with unprecedented roster limits. Thousands of student-athletes lost opportunities as coaches were put in the terrible position of cutting and/or de-committing players. Then AFTER the damage was done, the NCAA introduced the “Designated Student Athlete” designation as a way to let some athletes stay without counting against roster limits. But many programs had already made painful decisions because coaches were told the limits were coming and tried to give athletes as much notice as possible. Now we are about to do this AGAIN. The NCAA is expected to approve a 5th year of eligibility next month — after most programs have already recruited their 2027 classes based on the CURRENT rules and CURRENT roster limits. In women’s soccer, we already operate under a restrictive 28-player cap. You cannot recruit for FOUR classes for years, then suddenly force programs to fit FIVE classes onto the same roster without student-athletes paying the price. Because when seniors stay, someone else loses a spot. More cuts. More decommitments. More athletes caught in the middle of ever-changing rules they had nothing to do with. College recruiting happens YEARS in advance. Families and athletes make life-changing decisions based on the rules in place at the time. If 5th years are approved, they should all be classified as DSAs so as to not count against roster limits. Otherwise the NCAA is about to repeat the exact same disaster all over again. #StopChangingTheRules #HereWeGoAgain #DSAThe5thYears

The *assumption* that the Tampa stadium will drive economic growth is being used to justify this deal. This is absurd. The evidence against this could not be more definitive. No ballpark development has driven economic growth EVER.
Jane Castor@JaneCastor
We are committed to getting the details right — a world-class ballpark and development that drives real economic growth and opportunity for our entire community, not just on game days. The hard work starts now, and I’m confident we’re up to the task. (🧵2/2)

More options are good, but it's a stretch to call them competition. I guess you could technically call them competition in MMA, but the UFC controls a specific marketL: elite level MMA. And I don't see the other promoters taking too big of share of that market.
Ariel Helwani@arielhelwani
It was starting to look like we were heading toward a landscape where the UFC was basically the only major player in MMA. Now, with the reemergence of Scott Coker, MVP’s commitment to MMA, and the PFL restructuring, we’re suddenly looking at a 2027 where there may be four major U.S. players in the sport. To me, that’s great news for fighters, managers, and coaches. Competition raises the bar for everyone, and I’m not saying any of these promotions should try to compete directly with the UFC. That would be foolish. But having more places for fighters to negotiate with is a net positive for the sport.
English
@Boscacci6 No, but both the NBA and NFL contain internal competition between the teams, which is what the players would be more concerned with.

@FightHubTV @TeamAbdallah Zuffa’s first order of business was to undo the Ali Act. What does that tell you? They are creating a monopoly in boxing like they did in MMA. They certainly aren’t coming to a just conclusion that’s good for the fans and fighters. Come to the hearings in UFC lawsuits in Vegas.

Issue technicals and allow the “flopping” team to challenge.
If the challenge is unsuccessful, award 2 free throws and the ball.
Have the technicals count against future suspension.
Flopping would change quickly.
Kostya Medvedovsky@kmedved
I have an old man take on this, which is that while calling flopping in real time is hard, the league should just review all the tape the next morning and fine guys $50K/flop. Or teams if the CBA makes that hard. This stuff hurts the product and nobody likes it. Tolerating it is a choice.

@heitner Litigating in public.
Interesting.
Why doesn’t the NCAA have to comply with antitrust laws?
English
I created a chart for the judge in Tristan Smith v NCAA, where we are seeking an extra year of eligibility for the Clemson wide receiver. If this comparison of Smith and Malik Benson doesn’t show the NCAA has acted in a demonstrably arbitrary and inconsistent manner, then 🤷♂️
English
Stop pretending it isn’t professional and comply with antitrust laws.
That’s what should be done.
Marsha Lycan@mlycan12
The NCAA could be passing the 5YR eligibility model this week. The ONLY way to avoid creating utter chaos in terms of players being cut and de-committed every year is to make all 5th years exempt from roster limits. Roster limits and 5 years of playing cannot live harmoniously together. Many athletes will not decide if they are taking a 5th year until very late in the process and when they do, it will be at the expense of someone else. There will be a lot of HS Seniors getting de-committed every year because of the system this model will create. And I feel like no one is talking about this enough. #5YearEligibility #DoTheRightThing

@jedigoodman While Jake is “hoping fighters don’t get screwed”. @MMAFA is taking real legal action so that doesn’t happen. More media should be going to that. Next hearing May 18th in Vegas.

This is 100% the correct decision by the league. He was rightfully assessed a flagrant 2, no further discipline is also correct. End of story. Let’s all move on to game 5!!
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
There will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. No suspension, no fine. Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio.

Dan -just say the NCAA or universities need to comply with Antitrust law.
You don’t do that because your bloated salary is a result of the exploitation.

NEW: UConn’s Dan Hurley says $14 million is the minimum NIL budget to ‘compete at the top’🏆 “Staffs don’t want to look like we’re paying the max. But you’ve got to be spending, I’d imagine, somewhere north of $14 [million] if you want to be in contention to compete at the top of the big league or to try to play deep into the tournament.” (via @GoodmanHoops) Read: on3.com/nil/news/dan-h…

Banning the extreme infield shift did not bring back the base hit. AVG and BABIP remain at or near record lows.
But if the game *looks* more normal, does anyone care?

Even the local @FedEx location transfers you to the same automation. Brutal.

Try calling @FedEx to speak to an agent. It is impossible. I’ve tried repeatedly and if your issue can’t be automated the calls are disconnected.
Horrible customer service.
