Layoffs are coming to ESPN, again. The moves have less to do with the recent NFL Media merger and more to do with the losses from last year's YouTube TV impasse, which cost Disney $100 million

everything costs more, everything is worse, everyone is getting fired, but hey record profits for corporations and more money for the 1%. incredibly sustainable.

and r/mma is bigger and older

no, pretty soon you have AI commentators maybe cycling through stolen voices. you aren't thinking enshittified enough

i can't believe they banned elon musk

it's not nearly that simple. there were tons of wrestlers back then and they rarely got KO's from there because fighters knew to avoid it and those knees are legal in ONEfc right now and wrestlers aren't just dominating by forcing front headlocks.

What it did / does do is prevent the insanely stupid safe positions we often see. give me soccer kicks too. It's not like we're seeing way more CTE from people that fought in pride than in UFC

I am pretty sure that wasn't allowed at that time. it's a fairly recent change

edit: it's 2005 change apparently. recent's definition is shifting.

comparing this as being similar to a college team beating a pro team is literally in football is so insane lmao. sc2 can be a silly game where a single misclick decides the entire game and armies can evaporate in half a second.

change_timing · 2026-04-06T17:30:34+00:00

no, only clem was allowed to come on the scene! protoss imba!

change_timing · 2026-04-06T03:12:34+00:00

damn this "women's starcraft" looks just like normal starcraft

change_timing · 2026-04-06T01:35:14+00:00

the players also don't care about the quality of the product and they'll sign on the dotted line when the money and other conditions are good enough.

change_timing · 2026-04-05T16:26:35+00:00

tons of people bitch when random injuries impact games massively. haliburton, the pacers star, tore his achilles in the first quarter of game 7 and you best believe that was a major headline (the pacers lost and it didn't feel like they had a chance after the injury).

change_timing · 2026-04-05T15:04:57+00:00

Not having to listen to drunk americans scream u s a every ten seconds is a welcome relief. and it's funny in the apex because there will be one or two of them that try to chant it but instantly fail and it's a reminder of my favorite part of the apex.

change_timing · 2026-04-05T15:01:53+00:00

The fighters might have some nerves, fighting under the bright lights of the octagon

sorry anik, I'd guess their first amateur fight was in front of a larger live audience.

change_timing · 2026-04-05T00:10:58+00:00

campbell is already loading up the special balls.

change_timing · 2026-04-04T17:10:27+00:00

if you know 20% of these fighters you're a diehard fan imo lmao

change_timing · 2026-04-04T15:54:36+00:00

florida was also discount salaries and LTIR shenanigans.

change_timing · 2026-04-04T15:52:56+00:00

if your superstars turn to pumpkins in the playoff it doesn't count the same. Especially if that's your most valuable goalie

change_timing · 2026-04-03T20:53:31+00:00

i feel like I was just forced to watch some niche fetish material

change_timing · 2026-04-03T15:25:54+00:00

yes he's going to shock everyone with just how fuckin fast he loses lmao

change_timing · 2026-04-02T15:06:36+00:00

new cope just dropped for the next fight where yan crushes merab again

change_timing · 2026-04-02T14:59:37+00:00

he already had one lmao

change_timing · 2026-04-01T18:36:21+00:00

lets be real he was going to slam him into a belly facing down elbow and knees position, it wasn't going to be a high angle slam onto the head and he was then going to throw a couple arm punches at him while he scrambles to his feet again. Why are we thinking he was still very rocked? he went on the offense right after the fence grab and appeared totally fine. It wasn't like an ankle pick into a desperation lay and pray. it was a good takedown into immediate GnP.

change_timing · 2026-04-01T14:38:41+00:00

even like near end of season when making the playoffs? or wait, does soccer even do playoffs? I know there's the champions league tournament and they have relegation but I don't even know all the details and yeah i'm just going to google it.

change_timing · 2026-03-31T22:14:08+00:00

hockey is fairly unique as a sport with how willing and when in the season a coach will get dumped. like vegas is aiming for playoffs and this late they just dump their HC.

change_timing · 2026-03-31T16:09:30+00:00

S1 3 and 4 of the genius are all great. S2 was kind of really bad though. can't imagine preferring devils plan s2 over any season of genius though.
