MLB may have sensed a change in the political winds.
Like the vast majority of modern corporations, Major League Baseball is usually eager to shore up its progressive credentials.
As they do most years, MLB changed its logo on June 1st to celebrate pride month, with the current version of the LGBTQ+ flag as the background.
But after just one day up on the league’s social media accounts, it quietly disappeared. Instead replaced by the traditional MLB logo after just a day up on Facebook and Twitter.

Wow. The MLB just quietly removed their LGBTQ+ Pride logo. pic.twitter.

Anthony Rendon was suspended for four games by MLB after a tense exchange with a fan on Opening Day.

The Northern Irishman fired a 4-under par 68 in Friday’s second round at Muirfield Village Golf Club, putting him in contention.
Rory McIlroy put himself in a good position at the Memorial Tournament heading into the weekend.
He shot a 4-under par 68 for Friday’s second round, which included six birdies, to vault up the leaderboard from 33rd to tied for 5th.

Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. will fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 29 for the undisputed welterweight title. Crawford’s versatility gives him the edge in Kevin Iole’s eyes.

A year before turning Jalen Hurts into the $255 million man, the Eagles reportedly considered swinging a blockbuster trade that would’ve prevented the breakout 2022 season that led to the star quarterback’s massive extension.
During a recent appearance on ESPN radio affiliate Seattle Sports, Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop addressed an interesting rumor concerning a nixed deal that would’ve brought Broncos star Russell Wilson, who was then with the Seahawks, to Philadelphia.

In the midst of its unbridled stretch of dominance in English football, it’s almost easy to forget Manchester City ran into a surprising roadblock on its way to its fifth Premier League title in the past six years.
A little over halfway through this 2022–23 league season, alarm bells were ringing at the Etihad. City had allowed two or more goals in eight of its first 29 matches in all competitions. Questions (perhaps comically so in hindsight) arose about whether wunderkind striker Erling Haaland and his barrage of goals actually made the team better.

Von Miller’s first season with the Bills ended prematurely when he tore his ACL in a game vs. the Lions on Thanksgiving. The pass rusher initially wanted to try and return before the end of the 2022 season, but he ultimately needed season-ending surgery in December.
Now on the mend, Miller has a better idea of his injury timetable after he similarly underwent ACL surgery in 2013 while with the Broncos. Therefore, the Bills star is using that recovery knowledge to help measure his progress the second time around.

The heartbeat of MMA will be beating tomorrow in Warsaw, Poland, as KSW runs its highly anticipated Colosseum 2 event.
Taking place in a soccer stadium, nearly 45,000 tickets have been sold, and the hope internally is that the final number will approach 50,000,
The card features Mamed Khalidov in a trilogy bout against Scott Askham. Five-time World’s Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski will compete in a heavyweight bout against former WBC heavyweight contender Artur Szpilka, and there should be plenty of action—and violence—in the 11 fights scheduled for Colosseum 2.

‘ChiefsAholic’ cut ankle monitor to avoid police in latest scheme
Back in December the world learned the truth behind Kansas City Chiefs superfan “ChiefsAholic.” That came to light when the well-known NFL superfan did not show up at the Chiefs’ game on the road against the Houston Texans.
Internet sleuths got to sleuthing, and uncovered something that defied belief. The man inside the wolf costume was identified as Xaviar Babudar, and he had something of a shocking past.
As in, bank-robbing kind of shocking.

The process by which a college football player signs with a university is a labor-intensive, sometimes four-year courtship that ends on National Signing Day, either in December or February.
According to some coaches, it should end in a different way.
“It would help all of us and our high school coaches that, after Aug. 1 of their senior year, they can sign a national letter of intent any day they want with any school,” Auburn coach Hugh Freeze says.
The idea of a sign-when-you-receive-a-letter-of-intent model is not new.
