SV-Derby in the clash of the Bundesliga champions and 2nd Bundesliga champions. We're very proud of @AdinOsmanbasic and @ReneMaric.
(First goalless game for Bayern since 59 games btw, apparently it needs a Spielverlagerer to neutralise a Spielverlagerer. 😄)

Tennis has a complicated relationship with the climate, but new initiatives—including a switch to good ole Har-Tru—show it can be part of the solution. @georgetimms

The Dodgers broke the color barrier and brought baseball to the West Coast.
Now they should make Big Oil a pariah.
My latest @latimes column is super personal. I’m calling on Dodgers owner Mark Walter to end the team’s sponsorship deal with 76 gasoline: latimes.com/environment/news…

Unlike Fifa’s ludicrous – and thoroughly debunked – claim that Qatar 2022 would achieve Net Zero, Euro 2024 would at least be a step in the right direction. Uefa meant business. But 'business', here, meant two very different things.
