After a decorated 24-year run at ESPN, Nicole Noren resigned in protest.
She couldn’t go along with the network’s all-out embrace of gambling.
For the first time publicly, in @CJR, Noren shares the deeply personal reasons behind her decision.

New @espn: The story of Aiden Dunican, a 64-year-old Irish immigrant and 30-year Wrigley rooftop owner, fighting the Cubs to stay in business.
A quixotic fight against the inevitable or a principled stand for the little guy? espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5013…

“You’ve seen me deliver.”
That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects.

Hey all! @propublica published 2 phenomenal stories today on the @MLB and the blind eye turned toward exploitive practices of young prospects in the Dominican Republic. Both are #longreads #mustreads that dive deeply into a system of corruption and abuse that preys on the poorest of families. Sit down and make time. Unbelieveable reporting by @ggarciaroberts and @mrym_jml
