Even With Confession of Cheating, World’s Doping Watchdog Did Nothing: "WADA, the global regulator of doping in Olympic sports, did not begin an inquiry, even though a staff lawyer circulated the message to three top officials, calling the accusations “relatively precise,” including names and facts. Instead, the agency did something that seemed antithetical to its mission to protect clean athletes. It sent Ms. Pishchalnikova’s email to Russian sports officials — the very people who she said were running the doping program."

Player Completes Perfect Set at Wimbledon: Yaroslava Shvedova played a flawless set of tennis, the best by a woman in at least 44 years, in the third round at Wimbledon. She won every point (24) and every game (6) in the first set against Sara Errani, winning 6-0, 6-4. The last pro to do it was Bill Scanlon in a first-round match in 1983. "To me, that's almost as incredible as Isner-Mahut," said Sam Querrey, one of the men's competitors.

Game Over: Contradicting some of baseball's most cherished clichés, statistics show that your team's fate may well be sealed by June 1. As Yogi Berra said, 'It gets late early out there.'

Too much finger pointing and shirking of responsibility going on everywhere.
Please don't both sides this.
A small subset of one side is damaging property to protest murder because very little else has gotten people's attention over centuries of this kind of violent behavior.
A large portion of the other side is okay with murder or physical violence to stop property damage.
Can you see that they're not the same? Not in balance?

Police unions are openly siding with the president (e.g. the NYPD endorsed him and that's the first time they've ever endorsed a candidate) and fighting against local governments trying to regulate them. This is not going to change without radical and dramatic actions that make it obvious just who is creating lawlessness and violence... the people supposedly responsible for enforcing the law.
Please read the news with caution as the media is more inclined to reinforce a message of looting and "riots" over a message of protest and how traumatic and unacceptable police behavior has been in this country. The murders are only the tip of an iceberg of brutality exhibited towards black and latinx communities. It's not like they'll stop with those communities if the Republicans take the election.

I've been wondering why leagues don't move the games to a country that has the pandemic under control
why on earth would they want us? at this point, i'm surprised the USA isn't treated like a pariah and cutoff by the world

When do the B's get the Stanley Cup and will the guardian of the cup be bringing it around to each player in their isolation?

Looks like the men's union understands that everyone benefits when groups in a weaker position (here, financially) are also taken care of.

New Mets GM Fired for Sending Dick Pic to Reporter
NoMich, it's a bit surprising that that's not already part of the due diligence process when vetting a candidate.
