Holy Cow Popyrin!

#Tennis #USOpen

The commentators keep droning on about Alcaraz being 'off' after the Olympics and referencing his loss in another tourny - yet - they are not commenting on how well his opponent Li Tu is playing. Sometimes the best players show they are human. Even Swiatek had difficulties today against a qualifier!

#Tennis #USOpen

I just read that the prize money for Cincinnati is not equal. Women receive half only the amount! This is horrible.

Hey #WTA your organization took the sportswashed money - have the decency to pay the women equal to the men.

The Qualifying Draws for the #USOpen have been posted.

Any recommendations for up-and-comers to watch for?

If this keeps happening, would the ACLU be able to offer any assistance? What Space Karen is doing should not be legal. Companies are free to chose who they are willing to do business with.

Check out the replay of the BMX Freestyle if you can. It was awesome.

Thank you NBC/Peacock for cutting off that lovely crowd singing moment to show me a picture of the Seine. Your skills at unnecessary interruptions are spectacular! 🖕

@l0ve30 @emarktaylor

I'm looking forward to the Mixed Doubles. Some interesting partnerships. ;)

Is that it? Are they done? It was nice watching on Telemundo. They had zero commercial interruptions for the full ceremony.

After all that with the mystery runner, climber, rider, if it was more than one person, ALL of them need to step on stage.

États-Unis !!!!!!! LOL

Correction:

États-Unis d'Amérique ;)

@ATLeagle @ukplissken

Did I miss the US? That should have been under "E".

@ATLeagle

Can you just imagine the conversation that resulted in that compromise? LOL.

If you go to Apollo In Real Time, you can listen in to the moon landing as it happened 55 years ago today. Right now they are in lunar orbit preparing to undock.

Wow. There is nothing like displaying your company's failure than by doing so on practically every sign in Times Square!

America has inserted a half-time show into a fútbol match. #CopaAmerica

Just wait until someone tries to influence FIFA and actually stop play during World Cup Matches so commercials can be inserted to the coverage.

From the live coverage of #CopaAmerica at The Guardian:

"Tomorrow, we have no Euro games. No Copa games. Not even a stage in the Tour de France – which may have been effectively settled today, anyway. What are we supposed to do instead? Work?"

If Spain wins, someone please remind the team's head coach there is no forceable kissing of players after the match.
