Gambling companies are tweeting lies as if it's legitimate news because it brings more attention to them.
Facts matter. Slippery slope when gambling companies that leagues and media outlets are partnered with are lying to fans.
It undermines all of sports.

He's a huge inspiration for what we're building.

NEW VIDEO: Sports logos used to be chaotic, colorful and weird.

That didn't happen by accident, and I tried to figure out why: youtu.be/pOj5gTodXeU
NEW VIDEO: Why are sports owners suddenly so comfortable losing?

Hi Joe!

Why? www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3ui...
One day after I tweeted this clip criticizing Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour on Squawk Box, a Kalshi rep reached out asking to sponsor my YouTube channel.

The thing I like about a full-length @joon.bsky.social video is that it's just a narrated magazine article. You know, from back when those were a thing. The articles that were interesting even if you didn't care about the subject.
Thank you! This is the goal!
NEW VIDEO: LeBron is still too good to retire.
But the Lakers can't fully build their future around Luka Doncic while he's still there.

A player in massive trade rumors owning part of a prediction market where people can bet on whether he gets traded is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.
This is so far beyond players doing sportsbook ads.

NEW VIDEO: Youth sports doesn't look like Little League anymore.
It looks like Wall Street and private equity.

Victor Wembanyama on Minneapolis:
"Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable."
Victor Wembanyama says that being a foreigner in the United States makes him hesitant to speak up about Minneapolis.
“I know I’m a foreigner. I live in this country. I am concerned.”
Q: “Is part of your hesitance being a foreigner?”
“For sure.”
