Probably bc it doesn't have any broadcast rights, ESPN has humans doing the match commentary in its box score app and they're excellent

The violence will only escalate if elite impunity continues, as @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social puts beautifully here www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

If we wait for the hyperrich to finally realize that their fates are tied to ours — for their children to contract measles or for them to get cabin fever in their apocalypse bunkers — it will be too late for many of the rest of us. A better, quicker path out of the situation? Proving to the plutocrats that they are actually in the same game and bound by the same rules as common people by enacting harsh civil, criminal and social penalties on those who have orchestrated our present political moment. This can be done within the confines of the rule of law — but only if legal consequences are swift, painful and delivered on a timescale they cannot ignore. Minnesota prosecutors' recent charging of ICE officials for crimes is one step forward in the process of presenting the administration with consequences it cannot fantasize away. But it will take scores more of these thrusts, aimed at officials far higher up the political food chain, to pierce the veil of invulnerability currently launching warships toward the Strait of Hormuz. We are going to have to make war their problem.

This false equivalence is as old as time, and it's so predictably harmful that I have no patience left for it among people alive today

Instead of siding with civil rights activists, Eisenhower treated them as most moderate whites treated them – as extremists on the left. The president, like many other white politicians, struck a pose in the 1950s of condemning what he called "the extremists on both sides" – and by that he meant the Ku Klux Klan on the far right and the NAACP on the far left. He equated racist redneck terrorists who were willing to kill in subversion of the rule of law with careful lawyers who merely called for the law of the land to be enforced. "Both sides" we're challenging the status quo, and that was the problem.

King went on to add: "I'm on my way to a Panera right now, wait'll they get a load of this!" @drewmagary.bsky.social

Clip of an ESPN article with text: When told that Belichick isn't a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Peter King, a 32-year Hall of Fame voter who didn't cast a ballot this year, said: "Holy f---! Oh f---! ... I'm very, very surprised."
