    Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract is enormous, but according to sources, the Dodgers made back the entirety of the contract in Ohtani’s first season in tickets, marketing deals in Japan/global, merchandise. His impact on baseball’s growth cannot be understated.

    The NFL will own 10% of ESPN, which licenses its name to a sportsbook. The NFL will directly profit from sports gambling. Goodell said in 2017, “We still strongly oppose legalized sports gambling. The integrity of our game is No. 1. We will not compromise on that.”
    NFL will own 10 percent of ESPN. Factor that into any and all reporting ESPN does on league matters.

    With all of the Anti-Asian sentiment around the world over the last week, things feel like they’re starting to reach a boiling between the slew of hate crimes and the racism directed towards community icons like BTS and Jeremy Lin

    When I was growing up, I used to wonder what it was like to watch athletes like Babe Ruth, Pelé, Michael Jordan in their primes. They truly seemed like comic-book characters, people who seemed to expand the idea of what was possible. And now we've got Shohei Ohtani.
    Shohei Ohtani, pitchers who rake!
