A New York City Democrat Public Advocate wants the New York Mets to change the name of Citi Field because of climate change. You can’t make it up.
What’s the word after ridiculous? Because that’s where we are these days.

Citi doesn’t represent the values of Mets fans or NYC. If they refuse to end their toxic relationship with fossil fuels, the Mets should end their partnership with Citi.
We can aim to both win the World Series and protect the world’s climate at the same time. #LGM #MetsDropCiti pic.twitter.com/QvPr4XuGyw

Race director Niels Wittich said that these celebrations will no longer be allowed.

The Los Angeles Lakers moved to 38-38 Wednesday following their win over the Chicago Bulls (36-40). ESPN’s Jay Williams reacted to the win by going on national television and pleading that this Lakers team is a legitimate contender and could win an NBA title this postseason.
Williams is one of the most level-headed people at ESPN and played one season in the NBA – there is no denying he knows ball – but his take on the Lakers may be the biggest overreaction of the season.

.@RealJayWilliams on the Lakers:
“That is a team last night that can win a world championship.

Opening Day is a special one for everyone who loves baseball. For MLB rookies who are set to make their big league debuts, it is all the more impactful.

At 80 years old, born in 1942, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank was not familiar with 2 Chainz, the Grammy Award-winning rapper previously known as Tity Boi. 2 Chainz is based out of Atlanta and a big Falcons fan.
The connection between the rapper and the team led to a funny moment between him and Blank.
Earlier this week, Robert Kraft revealed that Meek Mill texted him and said that Lamar Jackson wants to join the Patriots. Blank does not have any rappers blowing up his phone, like Kraft, but he does occasionally text with Zac Brown.

New York’s 12-year playoff drought is now the longest of any team.
