How Bloody Elbow Lost Its Soul | Defector
The first sign that something was amiss at Bloody Elbow arrived when the site did not post anything during the UFC Vegas 87 fight weekend at the beginning of March. That card was nothing special, but ...

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds?

Tradwife movement âattracts men who are hostile to womenâ
The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but âhostile sexismâ

MMA media does a great job at hitting Dana White's "we broke another gate record" talking points. They don't do so well when it comes to covering the price of tickets as compared to previous events at that same arena. You know, the most basic of basic journalism. But that might lose them access...

I should mention that Ariel "Hey, I'm a journalist" Helwani is not one of them. Helwani went full PR mode when speaking to Pyfer about this subject, saying "wow, wow" when Pyfer told he had a dream where he saw God... Just a complete and utter hack.

Ariel âYeah I was on the UFC payrollâ Helwani, should be happy no one but some random failure is calling out his shortcomings. Working in the cesspool of MMA sometimes has its benefits.

A CHAMPION KILLED BY A RAT. In April 1892 The Sportsman reported on the February death of a New Zealand amateur boxer, Dick Sandal, who was chasing a rat when it turned and leapt at him, biting him on the cheek. In a comparatively short space of time, Dick breathed his last. đđ„

I would read the heck out of a book or article that explained why a disproportionate number of American fascists have been chiropractors. No shade on that entire category of practitioners, but it's definitely a theme that has emerged in my research on the US far right. Article is from 2001.

The Atlantic's "degenerate gambler" story begins with a false premise. The outlet provides the money to the gambler. There's no real risk involved in the story. "Oh no, I might lose someone else's money" is just stupid.

This is a pretty good deal for the new CBA. Moved ahead with revenue share, salary cap, and base salary. I know 50 percent of revenue is the goal, but that doesn't happen in one or two contracts. The union won on this deal. Hopefully the term will be on their side as well.
