Kentucky and Louisville fans got into a fight at a dialysis center.
Do NOT compare these rivalries.

I get guff for being sentimental every March, but here's how special the "brotherly rivalry" is b/w Duke & UNC: Both in Greenville, tight games, and in both, the fan bases supported each other. Duke fans going WILD for Heels right now. Only happens here, on that ole Tobacco Road

@cammillerfilms Yes, and the metro area has several D-1 basketball teams that have arenas the size they need.
Not saying Cincy can't or shouldn't have an 18K+ seat arena, but given how many are nearby (Indy, Lou, Lex & C'bus), it's not an immediate need.

@Stepbitt The Cincy Metro population is 2.2 million people.

It is not lost on me that Greenville, SC, population about 70K, gets an NCAA Tourney game...but Cincinnati can't seem to figure out how to refurbish/build an arena to get in on the action again.

Obviously partnerships like this don’t carry direct legal weight per se’, but they do contribute to a sense of legitimacy and cultural permanence, which does end up having an impact on the legal process.

Today the @CFTC and @MLB made history by signing the first-ever MOU between a sports league and federal agency. We’ve committed to work together to protect the integrity and resilience of prediction markets relating to professional baseball. Through this partnership, the @CFTC is well-positioned to add additional tools to protect our markets from fraud, manipulation, and other abuses. Thanks to @MLB and Commissioner Manfred for working with us to protect the integrity of these growing markets. Read the full MOU⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…

The idea that some people are pushing that Polymarket is "offshore" is becoming increasingly irrelevant, I think is one of the lessons of today's news.
The MLB deal is as much about establishing legitimacy as it is anything else.

He's definitely signing it.
"I'm not saying I'm not going to sign it. I just haven't seen the bill itself. We really have to make sure all 11 Tribal nations in Wisconsin are getting a fair shake on this, and I'll find out when I see the final product." -- Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers

So help me if Anderson gets to play defense for Denver... He deserved more of an opportunity in Cincy.

Good for Arizona. These entities are clearly usurping the rights of states to regulate, or choose to not allow, sports betting in their states. The Supreme Court was perfectly clear on this issue, as is the 10th Amendment.

They can't do the World Baseball Classic in the way it should be done. Still, even with its limitations, it can produce fantastic drama.

The Arizona Attorney General today filed criminal charges against one of our registered exchanges related to prediction markets. This is a jurisdictional dispute and entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution. The @CFTC is watching this closely and evaluating its options.
