I think its a very nebulous way to describe fandom- He's basically cheapening or relaxing the standards of "fandom" in a way to save face over a commercially disastrous season. Ultimately its spin and deflecting in the midst of the F1 bubble popping.

If this is true This is “Q day” (quantum) for Gold $GLD
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Has anyone heard of any plans how to tackle this loss? Or do they stop looking after the 3,3mio „profit“? The losses are getting bigger, contract with the cash cow running out, DP World CEO was replaced in february for connections to Epstein. But yeah, nothing to see here 😬
The DP World Tour's 2025 accounts are out, and the headline profit doesn't tell the full story. As a lover of the DPWT I’m very worried. The Tour reported a £3.3M profit before tax, but that relies on a £67.6M accounting gain on its PGA TOUR derivative. Thread 👇🏼

Hyrox needs to be sued. I hope that people stop participating in their events. There’s nothing inspiring about a woman who pees and poops herself…and lacks the discernment and dignity to go clean herself up. Hyrox organizers should have stepped in and removed her.

Just watched the highlights and had to rewind it because I couldn’t believe what I heard. Disgusting reaction and in keeping with his personality sadly. You wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. Some role model.

Nike told Red, White & Blue Americans to go somewhere else. And we did. They shoved Kaepernick, BLM, abortion, and all that woke sh*t in our faces. So we threw our Nike sneakers in the garbage. Now Nike has lost massive market value and is exiting the S&P 100 after nearly two decades. Hey Nike… go woke, go broke.

I think Polymarket and Kalshi are net negatives for society, and I think many men in particular will eventually realize how much their lives have been ruined by their addictions to gambling on these platforms (and the others like it)

Millionaire. Three homes. You spent over $500,000 of donor money on private jets to lecture America about oligarchs. Sit this one out, Bernie.
One man (Mr. Musk) owns more wealth than the bottom half of American households. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, nearly 800,000 are homeless and 85 million are uninsured. We can do better. We must do better.

Interesting. Only issue is Nike is incredibly woke and might be the worst retailer in the USA at this moment. The stock has fallen 80% in the last 3 years. It’s horrible. They held on to CC1 show release for 3* years to appease Aja Wilson and if she had anything to do with that decision there is no way I would support her. NONE. Need to hear more because her company is associated with shit. The originator of the Jordan brand is long gone. She didn’t do that. Not even a little bit.
Based upon that short list Sarah Mensah is probably the front runner in my opinion. Board of Governors looking for some specifc criteria that she checks. - ​President of Jordan Brand (Nike, Inc.) - Former Senior VP and COO of the Portland Trail Blazers (spent 19 years in NBA team management) - Has scaled multi-billion dollar cultural products - Has handled live sports franchise operations - Built a global brand marketing strategy - Highly respected among NBA owners and corporate partners

It's now clear as day. The league office knew about the CBA violation in 2019 by Kawhi's camp. The clause was already in the CBA in 2019...It's Article XIII, Section 2(b), and it bans the player or anyone acting on his behalf from attempting or intentionally soliciting any unauthorized agreement. The 2017 agreement was still in force then, and the 2023 version kept the same language word for word. The league rule about teams notifying the league office came in the summer and fall of 2019, DIRECTLY as a result of Robertson's conduct, since at least 2 teams reported it and the Clippers did not. The new rule required teams to report any illegal solicitation...even ones they rejected. The Wachtell report says that rule was created BECAUSE of this exact case. So the violation existed on paper, the league knew about the Kawhi camp requests in real time (at least 2 Teams reported it), and SILVER still did nothing to address the Leonard camp violations in 2019. If Aspiration didn't go bankrupt in 2025, Uncle Dennis would still be making demands on Kawhi's next contract. He only "punished" Robertson in 2026 after others did his job for him. Keaton Wagler and the Clippers' fanbase are now suffering for this insane dereliction of duty in 2019. That's a genuine enforcement gap, and it's fair to call it a failure by the league, and it should require a Commisioner resignation. @BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA @WindhorstESPN See @JCowleyHoops, even an outsider can connect dots.
Dear @BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA @KevinOConnor @WindhorstESPN Can one of you guys simply ask Silver: Were Uncle Dennis’ alleged requests ever reported to the league by the Spurs, Raptors or Clippers? If so, did the NBA investigate? And if the answer is no, how could you, Mr. Silver, remain so blissfully ignorant when there was this much smoke surrounding those alleged requests for YEARS?

So the “conspiracy” that Lawerence Frank was the WORST GM ever and only kept his job because he could blackmail Ballmer came true… The man ratted out Ballmer to try to get a lessor penalty, Now lets look at his amazing GM moves: •⁠Traded Franchise Legend Blake Griffin away right after signing him to a 5-year deal where he promised him he’d be a Clipper for life. •⁠Traded SGA + Gallinari + 5 1st round picks (one of these picks became Jalen Williams) + 2 1st round pick swaps for Paul George, one of the worst trades in NBA history if you just look at end result •⁠Let Paul George walk for nothing, didn’t get anything in return for him. •⁠Paid Kawhi Leonard under the table, circumventing the salary cap, and now the team lost 5 more picks. •⁠Traded prime Norman Powell to the Miami Heat for John Collins •⁠Signed washed Bradley Beal and washed Brook Lopez •⁠Assembled the oldest team in NBA History •⁠Signed Franchise Legend Chris Paul, who shortly after signing, announced it would be his final season •⁠Cut Franchise Legend Chris Paul only 20 games into the season, not even letting him have his retirement tour. •Finally made two good trades flipping old Harden for a younger Garland and a pick • flipping Zubac making us younger and getting us Indiana’s 5th pick which turned into Wagler also got Mathurin in the deal • Let Mathurin walk this offseason without signing him and signed old washed Beal again If this man didn’t have this blackmail info he would have been fired years ago! FIRE THEM ALL AND START OVER ✌️✌️✌️

ESPN: Kawhi had no knowledge of the deals Pablo: have you guys done any research whatsoever? What a failure by @ShamsCharania and @ramonashelburne the past year

While everyone’s on the subject of Colt Knost, is there anyone in golf media that wants to dig a little on why some PGAT affiliated accounts have gained 4+ million bot followers? Someone paid a lot of money for that to happen. Who? Why?

Aja is hurt. That's why she dropped out of the FIBA tourney. Exactly where she's hurt though...That's the question. I think I know the answer. #CCMVP

Clowns like this say all the LIV players are “worse” because of LIV. So in a world without LIV, there’s no perceived skill degradation. During the last pre-LIV season, 7 players were higher ranked than Scottie (that would be banned). He’s gotten better since then sure, but other players that left undeniably would have kept winning, keeping him out of the winners circle more often. So which is it, LIV made the players worse or they would’ve gotten worse on their own? 🤔 Anyone with a 🧠 knows those players would have kept winning. And the majors never had all the best bc OWGR still hasn’t normalized 4 yrs later. AND he would have less wins & probably less majors bc his confidence was higher after beating up on fields that weren’t as good. That’s the variable no data can account for - there is no “strokes gained confidence.” Do I really need to telegraph this stuff? It’s the most obvious thing in the world. 🤦🏽‍♂️
No, but when we have actual results we don’t need to deal in probabilities. In the 3 majors where he actually contended, who was missing that would have impacted his results?
