Whatever happened to the NASL lawsuit? When I search online I find a bunch of things about their injunctions being denied, but nothing actually on a final decision regarding whether or not USSF is a monopoly (which seems pretty clear to me that it is).

To casual sports fans and people outside northern Utah, it may look like an NHL team fell into Salt Lake City's lap in the span of two weeks. But local organizers say the Arizona Coyotes ' relocation to Utah is the product of a years-long effort to beckon professional hockey and other elite sports to the fast-growing capital city. The move announced Thursday marks a coming-of-age moment for Salt Lake City as a pro sports hub in the Mountain West, giving the midsize market its second major professional sports franchise in the 45 years since it welcomed the NBA's Utah Jazz.

I'm not sure what I am most impressed by: (1.) The quality of play on the ice (2.) The sell-out English Crowd (3.) The ability to find every inch of space on the ice and the sweaters to sell advertisements.

"While offering remarks in support of Alberta’s energy industry that includes fighting a federal government rule decreeing net-zero power emissions by 2035, Smith said trying to have the province go off natural gas for power generation by that year would be impossible after a heckler interrupted her."

Ghostbusters and the Use of Knowledge in Society

The utility man does as he’s told—and of course all hell breaks loose. But notice who actually made the decision. 

It wasn’t the scientists who built the ghost storage facility. It wasn’t the utility worker, who at least had some knowledge of power systems. It was the government bureaucrat who knew absolutely nothing about the system. 

I've been using forum.rojadirecta.es for my non-streaming sports piracy for years, but I wonder if there is any other/better options
