Why you never dance with devils
The reckoning has finally come for the sports organizations that have played footsie with autocratic nations.

The trial of the man accused of causing Tyler Skaggs’ death is flying under the radar
Three years ago, Tyler Skaggs’ death rocked Major League Baseball.

Automated offside is here, and it’s pretty damn cool
Even through its many, many bumps and hiccups (the kind of hiccups where you feel like you’ve pulled an oblique) I have been pro-VAR. It is hardly perfect, and far too much of it still depends on the whims and judgements of people. Except now being in the hands of whatever is floating between one pe...
