Google said on Tuesday that it would not distribute Truth Social on its Play app store until Truth Social, the social media platform founded by former President Donald J. Trump, removed content that incites violence. Truth Social built a version of its app for Android devices this year, but when Google reviewed it, the company said it found user content that included physical threats, and told Truth Social to weed out that material and resubmit the app for review. “On Aug. 19 we notified… Source link

UFC president Dana White said he helped set up a deal for Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to join the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2020 free agency period, but then-Raiders head coach Jon Gruden “blew the deal up.” White told the story during the “UFC with the Gronks” broadcast for UFC 278 on Saturday night. He said he never planned to tell the story, until Gronkowski asked him about it on the broadcast. “I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders,” White said….

The battle between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour has reached the first of what will surely be many courtrooms. U.S. District Court Judge Beth Labson Freeman heard arguments from attorneys representing both the PGA Tour and a consortium of eleven LIV-affiliated players on Tuesday afternoon. Three LIV players — Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones — were seeking a temporary restraining order that would permit them to compete in this week’s tournament, the first event of the FedEx Cup… Source link

The Golden State Warriors didn’t make too many waves last offseason while constructing what would be a championship roster, but Draymond Green was apparently gunning for a big splash. During an episode of his Draymond Green Show with Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, Green recounted how he tried to recruit his guest to the Warriors during free agency last summer. DeRozan was apparently not interested, though Green did not hesitate to point out that it all worked out for Golden State: “Last… Source link

While golfers have tiptoed around their negotiations with LIV Golf and frequently bristle at questions about the league, Charles Barkley is taking no such tack. The Basketball Hall of Famer and TNT broadcaster is approaching his flirtation with the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed golf league as he does most subjects — with candor. Barkley, who’s acknowledged that he’s in negotiations with LIV Golf and is playing in the league’s New Jersey Pro-Am this week at a Trump golf course, spoke with… Source link

Black is the new black. In the NFL, at least. The NFL has signaled the green light for teams to play with alternate helmets in addition to their alternate uniforms this season. The rule change announced in 2021 reverses a years-long policy prohibiting multiple helmets under the heading of player safety. Now teams don’t have to mix and match their throwback threads with their contemporary lids. Several teams have announced new helmets this offseason, with some like the New England Patriots… Source link

Nets guard Kyrie Irving will decide this week if he’ll opt in with Brooklyn and Kevin Durant. (Troy Wayrynen/USA TODAY Sports) This could get awkward — in a hurry — for Kyrie Irving. Irving wants out of Brooklyn due to a contract impasse and thus is seeking his fourth team in seven seasons. Either that or he is trying to scare the Nets into signing him to a five-year, $245 million supermax extension. So far Brooklyn has expressed no interest in that, although it has reportedly offered a… Source link

Data centers, which drive the apps, websites, and services that billions of people use every day, can be hazardous places for the workers that build and maintain them. Workers sometimes have to service a data center’s electrical equipment while it’s being energized. And they can become exposed to chemicals like chlorine, which is used as a sterilizing agent for the water circulated through liquid cooling systems for computers and servers. In June 2015, five people had to be taken to… Source link
