A fair amount of fans have put the onus on Anthony Joshua for his bout vs. Deontay Wilder not happening — even though he’s been able to make past unification bouts with former unified titleholder Wladimir Klitschko and former WBO champ Joseph Parker. In theory, it should be just as easy to do with Wilder. “Just that (sic) he wants more,” Joshua told Sporting News at Tuesday’s DAZN launch event....

In a New York Times op-ed published Monday, Miles Taylor, a former top official at the Department of Homeland Security under the Trump administration, and Christine Todd Whitman, the former governor of New Jersey, urged Republican voters to support Democrat candidates as a last-ditch effort to divorce the party from the former president and to avoid having to start a new center-right party. “Rational Republicans are losing the GOP civil war,” Taylor and Whitman wrote....
Shockingly, in response to a federal investigation, the University of Vermont recently decided to officially pivot to blaming Jews as it brazenly denied it has an antisemitism or anti-Zionism problem. This has the effect of cancelling its Jewish students’ concerns. There is no other minority group that the University of Vermont administrators dare to victim blame. Of course, campus-based anti-Zionism is on the Jewish communal radar screen and a host of organizations and initiatives have sprung up over the past two decades to combat it....

So magnanimous. There has been no report I’ve encountered, though, that quotes even an anonymous team official as saying something as uncomplicated as: Nope. You’d think someone with a voice at one of these franchises would have the courage and conscience to declare they do not wish their team to be associated even in a news report with someone in Watson’s circumstance. This is how best to describe Watson at the moment....
Rittenhouse, a white 17-year-old from Illinois, was released from jail after being charged with killing two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin this summer during a Black Lives Matter demonstration protesting the police murder of Jacob Blake. “Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context?
