The most famous story about modern presidential campaigning now has a quaint old-world tone. It’s about the showdown between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the first debate of their 1960 campaign, which was also the very first nationally televised general-election debate in the United States. The story is that Kennedy looked great, which is true, and Nixon looked terrible, which is also true—and that this visual difference had an unexpected electoral effect. As Theodore H. White described it in his hugely influential book The Making of the President 1960 , which has set the model for campaign coverage ever since, “sample surveys” after the debate found that people who had only heard Kennedy and Nixon talking, over the radio, thought that the debate had been a tie. But those who saw the two men on television were much more likely to think that Kennedy—handsome, tanned, non-sweaty, poised—had won. Historians who have followed up on this story haven’t found data to back … [Read more...] about When Donald Meets Hillary: Who Will Win the Debates?

WALSH: The NBA Killed Itself With Politics And Propaganda. Good Riddance. | The Daily Wire
I am probably a typical case. Never qualifying as a diehard NBA fan, I nonetheless enjoyed the sport and typically became more invested during the playoffs. I loved watching the NBA Finals, especially, and had missed very few Finals games in the past decade or so. I never had a home team but rooted for my favorite players. I had followed Lebron James’s career, in particular, since his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But I didn’t watch a single minute of this past NBA season. LeBron and the Lakers won the trophy on Sunday and I didn’t realize that the game was even happening, or that the Lakers were up in the series. I found out the next day, due to viral footage of Lakers fans rioting in celebration (apparently, revelers celebrating a basketball team’s victory are immune to COVID, just like BLM activists and attendees of memorial services for Democrats). This was the first NBA season I’ve ever ignored, and I didn’t miss it. Being a sports fan is like being under some sort … [Read more...] about WALSH: The NBA Killed Itself With Politics And Propaganda. Good Riddance. | The Daily Wire

Keira Walsh: ‘The mentality now is all about the team winning, rather than individuals’
Sitting down for a chat in the peaceful surrounding of FC Basel's sun-soaked training ground, England midfielder Keira Walsh's calm demeanour epitomises the tranquility of the rolling, green hills in the distance behind her as well as the atmosphere in the whole Lionesses' squad. And it's because one word appropriately sums up the feeling in the group: relaxed. Not the sort of relaxation that resembles a holiday, nor complacency - on the contrary, the intense focus to training is clear to see too - but the kind that oozes from a group that evidently know that, whatever challenges might come their way in the upcoming Euros, their head coach has given them the confidence and the tools to find on-pitch solutions. This has been evident in England's three victories in June's warm-up games - all of which were still level at half-time - as their strength in depth helped them to eventually coast to 3-0 , 5-1 and 4-0 victories. Yet arguably the pressure on this squad to deliver has … [Read more...] about Keira Walsh: ‘The mentality now is all about the team winning, rather than individuals’

Gabriel Jesus delighted to now have Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli as Arsenal team-mates
Arsenal new boy Gabriel Jesus has admitted he’s delighted he can now play alongside, rather than against, Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli at the Emirates. The Brazilian striker completed a £45million to north London earlier this week, bringing to an end his five-year stay at the Etihad. Mikel Arteta’s transfer strategy has revolved around signing Jesus this summer and the Spaniard now wants to switch his attention to other areas of the squad. A move to the Emirates provides Jesus with the opportunity to become the club’s first choice striker and he’s part of a growing clan of Brazilian players at the club, joining defender Gabriel and fellow forward Martinelli in the capital. And Jesus says he’s happy he can now call the pair team-mates, rather than having to face them again. ‘I’m so happy with him, [Martinelli],’ Jesus said. ‘When I saw him come to Arsenal I was not surprised because I knew he had the quality to play in a big club in Europe and Brazil. I’m so … [Read more...] about Gabriel Jesus delighted to now have Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli as Arsenal team-mates
