Monetization Nation, Reprise 0

Bob Molinaro, sportswriter extraordinaire, follows the money (emphasis in the original):

Money matters: The Big 12 reportedly is exploring a naming-rights agreement with Allstate that could pay the league between $30 and $50 million a year. It’s speculated that under the deal, the conference would be renamed the “Big Allstate Conference” or the “Allstate 12.” If Anheuser-Busch sponsored a conference, would it be called the “Busch League”?

The market: In August, Ohio State is making each of its first four football practices available to a few hundred fans for $50 a ticket. You may have noticed that everything in college sports is for sale.

A Legend in His Own Mind 0

At the Portland Press-Herald, Donna Halverson identifies the trait that she thinks makes Donald Trump unfit to hold public office. A snippet:

In short, Trump is a full-blown narcissist – and the last person who should hold political office. Left to his own devices, Trump would be dangerous to this country and the world.

Narcissists project their mistakes onto others by manipulation, putdowns, intimidation and bullying.

Which is why Trump continues to cling to the idea that the 2020 election was stolen from him because the truth – that he lost – represents failure, something narcissists don’t accept. It’s why he also claimed to have been “wrongfully convicted” in his recent trial.
