As you enjoy college basketball this weekend, let me suggest this companion essay, “Accidentally Telling the Truth: Racial Capitalism on the College Sports Plantation,” written by yours truly, and just published in Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies.

In the category of truly absurd things you can't make up, an Iranian player's US visa has now expired because he was granted only a single-entry despite Iran being compelled to leave the United States after EVERY SINGLE GAME.
"Football unites the world," amirite?!?!?!?

They're "ignoring what's actually in the deal" because the administration hasn't released the deal. Show us the deal, and people won't ignore it. The problem is there's no reason to take the administration's word for what's in the deal at face value.
NEW: VP JD Vance calls out media "propagandists" for their comments surrounding the Iran agreement, accusing critics of amplifying Iranian talking points while ignoring what's actually in the deal.
"Not a single cent of American money goes to Iran. Not $300 billion, not $24 billion."
Vance accuses media figures and critics of focusing on hypothetical benefits Iran could receive while glossing over the deal's central requirement: a long-term, verifiable commitment to never obtain a nuclear weapon.
"The propagandists are saying, here are all the things Iran gets... but they don't get any of that stuff unless they totally transform themselves as a country." | @foxandfriends

"Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons."
JCPOA, 2015
"Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!" - President Donald J. Trump

If you spend years studying rank and file Nazi Party members this is what motivated reasoning in a cult looks like.

Rock bottom is just a trap door to more rocks. We've debased and devalued ourselves as a nation and gotten nothing out of it other than free hats and a national shame our grandchildren's grandchildren will still be living down.

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

This is why basketball as a professional sport is a joke. Thank god the finals are over so now the beautiful game is the only sport being watched around the world.

The $TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates. The coin has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak reut.rs/4oisC7e @specialreports

College sports is begging for an antitrust exemption. They prefer to lobby its way out of labor problems. Better solution: negotiate w players.

Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations.

An antitrust exemption won’t save the NCAA. We didn’t file on antitrust grounds. Athletes are third-party beneficiaries. Treat them fairly and equitably. Stop arbitrarily and capriciously enforcing bylaws. The “chaos” results from the NCAA’s own actions and inaction.
