Get more men to shop on its site

Tom Forte bought a desk made from recycled skateboards on Etsy (ETSY) during the pandemic, then a matching stool. What’s unusual about Forte isn’t that he bought something on the site — 96 million people did that last year. What’s unusual is his gender.

Islam Makhachev makes case for title shot

LAS VEGAS — The UFC’s lightweight division is filled with elite talent. Champion Charles Oliveira will defend against Justin Gaethje in May, and if he gets through that successfully, he’ll most likely face Islam Makhachev next. Makhachev’s dominance is impossible to overlook at this point.

Ex-NBA player Charles Oakley says Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo would come off the bench in his era

With great success comes great criticism — or something like that. Exhibit A: Former New York Knicks All-Star Charles Oakley says Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo won him over after winning his first NBA championship last year, but argued the two-time MVP is not good enough to earn a starting role in Oakley’s era.
