In many ways we're better about these issues than we were 30 years ago, but in others we're not, still feeding fans lies about how money will ruin baseball straight from the mouths of the people who can afford to buy baseball franchises.

Baseball has survived a racist color line, game fixing, The Great Depression, two world wars, a work stoppage that canceled a World Series, and Bowie Kuhn. Can we stop talking about "one team trying too hard to win" as an existential threat to the game?

Former police officer takes Email Job and immediately crumbles, describing the mere act of going to an office every day as a Herculean act of strength and discipline.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

In sports, there would be few things more grotesque & craven than MLB reinstating a man who bet on games as an active player and manager. But from an industry leadership team that betrayed & lied about Oakland & Montreal, also entirely consistent.

Talking like a broke boy as the owner of the New York Yankees. Shameful
Hal Steinbrenner on the Dodgers spending:
“It’s difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kinds of things they’re doing. We’ll see if it pays off. They still have to have a season relatively injury free for it to work out for them.”

the sports reference series of websites are some of the last good ones on the internet. they’ve never once changed their design to ruin it, have never hid critical functions behind a paywall, the stathead stuff they do put behind a paywall is incredible/worth charging for. i hope we never lose them

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The point, I hope, isn't to create a perfect social media discourse. The point is to have a place to go where you can see posts by people you want to see posts from and not get yelled at by humans and robots alike.
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
