The most FIFA-ish thing ever would be arranging a tournament schedule where the host country wins the group, has a deep run to the quarters, and plays every knockout game after 10:00 PM EST.

I called this. Liverpool has been phasing out the crest for a long time. Did you know the last time the full crest appeared on a Liverpool kit was during the 2011-2012 season? More than 12 years ago!

NYT reports the new WNBA TV deal is $2.2 billion for 11 years at a $200m AAV - a 3x multiple. My earlier prediction was pretty bang on. I predicted >$1 billion and an AAV of $150 (2.5x multiple). Surprised the league got such a long deal, however. x.com/ExtraBeissHit/…

awfulannouncing.com/wnba/mega-righ… Fantastic article from Lyndsey D'Arcangelo 🏀 on the reported WNBA's rights deal. We are right to question how the value of this deal was reached. And we should understand it will take a massive increase in WNBA salaries to close the massive gender-wage gap we see.

The era of 'no build sport mega-events' is firmly upon us. The French Alps and Salt Lake City were selected to host the 2030 and 2024 winter Olympic games, respectively.

Saudi Arabia published its *cough* bid book for t2034 World Cup. No chance this 48-team World Cup will take place the way it is presented in this mad book. The entire, ultra VIP, tournament they say will take place in just 5 cities! 8 stadiums in Riyadh! digitalhub.fifa.com/m/279980efe497…

Yesterday Saudi Arabia published its Human Rights Plan for the 2034 World Cup. It completely ignores mass forced evictions, a ban on trade unions, the imprisonment of rights activists and criminalisation of LGBTI people. Our response to this whitewash 👇 tinyurl.com/3zwx6mya

It was great to connect with so many SLAM alumni this weekend. I'm so proud of them. They're all doing such great things. Easily one of the most fulfilling nights of my career.
