There are more NFL Owners in the Epstein Files than attended the Super Bowl.
Long-time fan of @edgeofsports.bsky.social and this kind of story is why: He looks deeply into the larger social and cultural phenomena of sports and the way they affect all of us.

Professional bike racers in both men's and women's pelotons alter their racing calendars when the summer games occur. Men sometimes leave the Tour de France early when the Games are in July, and athletes might forgo the Vuelta or classics in Olympic years when the events overlap.

Shout out to @blackrosiemedia.com for talking about the ice quality at the Olympics in this morning's live stream. I'm not surprised the women aren't saying anything, but it is noticeable. I think it's going to be a bigger issue as the tournament progresses, and especially when the men start.
