I’m certain the reason this didn’t get fixed is because no individual saw it as their job to fix it. Countless dumb situations/processes persist within large organizations because rank-and-file workers don’t/can’t work outside of the boundary conditions of their jobs.
the people who wrote the premier league TV contract didn't consider that Boxing Day could fall on a Friday or a Monday, two of the days of the week
then having recognized their error, no one thought "hey we can just fix this because this dumb situation doesn't benefit any of us"

@tottenhamhotspur.com Removal of the Proud Lilywhites’ flag at the slightest push-back is an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment. If a flag isn’t safe around the fans, then how can you expect LGBT fans to be safe?
We expect better.

For the record, this comes from the same online wellness culture moral panic that all of RFKJr’s policies come from too. It’ll be seed oils next.

San Francisco is suing ultraprocessed food companies.
The city attorney is filing the first government lawsuit in the US against manufacturers of ultraprocessed food.
He argues that cities are burdened with the cost of treating diseases that ultraprocessed food brings on.

Opinion | Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do
Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

From the rooftops, a Second Reconstruction should be the moderate position of the Democratic Party.
The organization Demand Justice will use its megaphone to call on lawmakers to “demonstrate steadfast opposition to the dismantling and corruption of our legal system, courts and the rule of law.” We spoke to the group's new executive leader about his plans.

Research universities already have huge MarComms teams the put out stories touting their latest research. The reporting/promoting is freely accessible to media. Angewandte suddenly being free doesn’t change access to the information
my dears, I really don't think that academic papers would be competing online with Fox News headlines and TikTok soundbites if only they were all open access.

The natural conclusion to all of this is Trump and Infantino engineering a move to get Israel into CONCACAF.
I have always gotten the sense that membership in European sports federations goes a really long way towards convincing Israelis they have international support. (they can't participate in Asian competitions bc so many nations refuse to play them)
"A majority of the UEFA 20-member executive committee is expected to support any vote in favor of suspending Israeli teams from international play, two sources told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject." www.espn.com/soccer/story...

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do
"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."
