The America’s Cup peaked in 1983. I was on the train going to work in the city, and listened on my pocket radio as New York correspondent John Raedler called the last stages of the final race on 2GB. It was very exciting. But I’ve found the whole thing pointless ever since.

Washington will keep its burgundy and gold colors and replace the Native American head logo on helmets with a player’s jersey number. All references to the Redskins name and logo will be removed from the team’s headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia, and FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.

NBA great LeBron James is bemused.

The people’s horse that is Subzero has been sadly humanely euthanised at age 32 from heart failure.

Subzero won the 1992 Melbourne Cup.

Three weeks it was revealed that the Sydney Kings and the NBL had refused to pay what they said was a substantial increase in licencing fees to use the Sydney Opera House as part of their logo. It appears that the Sydney Kings new logo could one or all of these.

First of all - fuck the Opera House. It’s a cash grab.

As a Kings member, these aren’t exactly “awe inspiring”. The league have already released training gear from Champion (e.g. the Kings gear: Sydney Kings Champion Training Collection | NBL Store– Official NBL Store). There appears to be a forth logo, similar to the Golden State Warriors logo, which I rather like.

The NBL has the responsibility for designing these, I think they have the rights to all team’s logos, and really, after the crap shoot that was the Grand Final series that should’ve been null and voided (considering the Kings did the right thing and the Wildcats travelled home on a plane with someone infected with COVID-19), Larry Kestelmann can at least pay up as some sort of compensation.

The Wildcats can join the Storm and Roosters in the fiery pits of hell. Fuck them too.

Sydney wins another fucking A-League grand final. And gets the rub of the green. Again.

Fuck Sydney FC.
