Fauci on vaccine hesitant Republicans: "It's almost paradoxical that on the one hand they want to be relieved of the [public health] restrictions, but on the other hand they don't want to get vaccinated. It just almost doesn't make any sense." pic.twitter.com/XwCRAgvWwj

Which is why he’s running for Mayor of London...
I wonder if there is anyone on this site that matches that description @contrarian ?
Mr. Sandpit, yeah, I remember much local opposition.
Mr. Pioneers, to be fair, the Circuit of the Americas is the best circuit added to the calendar (newly, not returning) in decades. It's very good. I agree with your general point, though.
'This does have betting implications, if significant number of GOPers remain unvaccinated then there are likely to (be) a lot fewer GOP voters at the time of the next Presidential election which not even GOP voter suppression can overturn. At some point someone in the GOP will realise this."
Although I'm not sure the last sentence will make a lot of difference; the damage will have been done.
"Football is the only global sport in the world with more than four billion fans and our responsibility as big clubs is to respond to their desires," he added.
And a global sport with its fan base in Asia will need clubs in Asia.
It will certainly not need two clubs in Manchester and three in London.

Word of the day is ‘ingordigiousness’: extreme greed; an insatiable desire for wealth at any cost.

If not then there's a big discrepancy between the leadership and the voters.
And into such electoral void anti-establishment candidates often move.
We could see anti-vaxxers trying to primary GOP politicians.
And those whose Cousin Alice back in Latvia or Nigeria told them that vaccines are bad for you.
City move to the Middle East most obviously. Liverpool and Man U stay where they are for historical reasons. Another couple of English clubs might get sucked in and move. Leicester to Asia seems logical. A Russian club will be announced as a founder too I think.
India, like the EU, should be added to the red list.
The biggest problem would be in countries that have had not much infection yet but have high vaccine hesitancy, as they either stay locked down much longer to drag out the infection curve or else suffer excess death concentrated in a period their publics will really notice it.
If France is as anti vax as is said, it could be 2023 or later before they stop having flare ups.

Daytona Road Course would have been great for the drivers if not the spectators or the RHS tyres.
If it's not safe for Johnson to be going to India - and it isn't - how can the country not be on the red list?
No such thing happened.
What's the web business meme? If you're not paying for it, your're the product not the customer?
He was very good in Lewis.
Indeed, the reigning champions of the old First Division on the day the premier league kicked off were Leeds Utd, who have spent a good chunk of the years since in lower leagues.
This plan is aimed at guaranteeing that fallen angels like for example Arsenal, do not run the risk of being relegated and having their equity valuation tarnished.
Look at the knicker-twisting in Premiership Rugby Union.

I am hopeful (but not expectant) that ultimately any "Super League" could see qualification earnt on merit. If it is then its another competition on the top of the pyramid, like the Champion League.
Any closed shop project I do not support. Its not sporting.
According to source, some of those involved in ESL call traditional supporters of clubs “legacy fans” while they are focused instead on the “fans of the future” who want superstar names
*ESL insists modelling shows solidarity payments will be boosted £10bn Euros over 23 seasons)
This to me sounds incredibly Spanish (almost as if it's necessary to keep Barcelona and Real Madrid going)
If not then why is this post appropriate?
If through a Darwinian process one party removes more of its voters than another does then that could affect future political betting.
If the GOP wants to keep its voters voting, then keeping them alive is a good starting point.
That is if the promoted team can get promoted at all with criteria to fulfil that the existing memebers don't have to meet but the new members do have to meet.
Incidentally the only reason there are 13 golden shares and not 12 is that Harlequins were relegated the year the system was put in place so an extra golden share was given to them. I bet if Leeds had went down they wouldn't have got the share.
If qualification is earnt on the field then I will cry no crocodile tears over UEFA losing the revenue and it going to the clubs instead.
If they catch the pox and survive but now with a "pre-existing medical condition" that could most definitely affect how they view medical politics.
I'd be interested to see some polling evidence for this.
Certainly, the only vehement anti-VAXers I know are relatives who live in Stroud and vote 'Green'.
There is a strand of Green-ery that believes vaccines are a cocktail of wicked chemicals that leave people’s immune systems damaged.

Ruth Davidson thought she was being so clever with the 'stop WFA in England but keep it in Scotland' idea in 2017.

The pace of change in attitudes towards COVID-vaccine take up is evident in longitudinal tracking conducted as part of the KnowledgePanel study. Between January and March, 53% of adults shifted to a more positive view – either already receiving a jab or reporting that they are now more likely to do so.

Why so puritan?
The [ESL] clubs have hired InHouse Communications as a British public affairs agency to promote the launch. Katie Perrior, the chair of InHouse, was formerly head of communications for Theresa May during her period as prime minister, while she also worked on Boris Johnson’s 2008 mayoral campaign.

I always thought it was a contractual commitment to play in the CL if you came, say, second in the PL, not an invitation.
"Both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have 100% compatible views in these discussions," #BVB CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said. https://twitter.com/dw_sports/status/1384074169449472007/photo/1
On Sunday, reports emerged in Italy that DAZN, which owns the domestic Italian television rights, could become the broadcast partner of the new Super League but the company distanced itself from the story. The Athletic understands that Sky Sports has not been involved with Super League plotting. An extended segment of coverage both at half-time and full-time of Manchester United’s 3-1 victory over Burnley, in which pundits Neville, Roy Keane and Micah Richards delivered a scathing assessment of the plan, would appear to reaffirm that the broadcaster has little to gain from the development of a Super League.
In addition, several major broadcasters across the world are preparing to take legal action against clubs who take steps to devalue the domestic leagues. If, for example, a broadcaster has signed a five-year contract to cover the Premier League, it has done so under the impression that access to European competition will be a compelling narrative strand of the season. As such, any measures that would reduce the jeopardy and fundamentally alter the nature of the domestic leagues, would subsequently see clubs face demands for rebates.
“Broadcasters will take legal action,” insists a well-placed source. “They demanded rebates simply for fans not being in the stadium, so if the product is different, the rebates will be huge. It’s as though you’ve bought the rights to the Premier League and you have ended up with the Championship instead.”
Normally = probably will in the County elections this time since there candidate, apart from being a nice chap, is the one most likely to defeat the sitting Tory.
65% of Labour voters and 53% of LD voters by contrast say the UK government should allow an indyref2 within the next 5 years if the SNP win a majority but why would Boris care what Labour and LD voters think when he still has a comfortable poll lead?
