This isn't about Aikman. This is about The Worldwide Leader in BS and their dominant position in sports and how Big Media shapes the narrative on everything. I guess we should be fortunate Bari Weiss isn't running this place, lol.

The idiot reporter should've stated the World Cup matches are in Foxboro, not Boston, but I'm assuming he works for a right-wing outlet and everything is "part of the city".

You know, like north suburban Highland Park is a Chicago "neighborhood", right?

The World Cup and Olympics should boycott the U.S. rather than let their events be used as weapons by the fascist Trump. They won't, of course, because of their own corruption. But they must realize this is shaping up to look like the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Looks like public media platform at Penn State University will stay open, after news that Philadelphia public media outlet WHYY will take control of WPSU - which was slated to be the first public media outlet to close following loss of federal funding. https://loom.ly/4HCc8As.

Reverse card: Penn State trustees agree to transfer WPSU to WHYY

The university will no longer be required to pay a $17.6 million subsidy to WHYY as financial supporters are expected to step up to save the central Pennsylvania station.

NEW: The People’s Law Office is representing Debbie Brockman, the WGN producer who was detained by feds.

“Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work.”

Statement on Behalf of Debbie Brockman, WGN
Employee Assaulted by Federal Agents

Debbie Brockman, the WGN employee who was physically attacked and arrested in Chicago, Illinois by federal agents on October 10, 2025, would like to provide the following information to clarify any misunderstandings or misrepresentations that have been previously reported.

First off, Ms. Brockman wishes to clarify that at the time of this incident she was not acting in any professional capacity as an employee of WGN. During the morning hours this past Friday, Ms. Brockman was walking to the bus stop as part of her morning commute when she was attacked by Border Patrol agents.
Ms. Brockman, who is a U.S. citizen born in this country, was violently detained on Foster Avenue, on the north side of Chicago. As this occurred, individuals on the street began recording the incident and asked Ms. Brockman her name. In addition to providing her name, Ms. Brockman stated that she worked for WGN. She added this information because she hoped someone would notify her employer so her coworkers would know that she would not be arriving at work that day.
Ms. Brockman was detained and held in federal custody for approximately 7 hours before being released. She has not been charged with any crimes and she intends to pursue all legal avenues available to her to vindicate her rights and hold the federal authorities accountable for their actions.
Ms. Brockman is being represented by attorneys from the People’s Law Office in Chicago. Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work. Ms. Brockman feared for her life multiple times throughout this terrifying experience.
“This incident should be alarming and horrifying to every single person in this country,” said Brad Thomson, one of Ms. Brockman’s attorneys at People’s Law Office. “If armed, masked, federal agents are sn…
