Comic Book Writers Continue To Speak Out About Unfair Pay From Marvel Studios

Most notably, comic writer Ed Brubaker and his partner Steve Epting, who originally created the Winter Soldier have expressed their dissatisfaction. Brubaker told the Guardian that he sometimes feels “a bit sick to [his] stomach” when fans email him asking for comments about The Falcon And the Winter Soldier. However, he noted that his MArvel characters have drawn readers to some of his other work. The problem is that Marvel can take one superhero and off of that, create a web of multiple different avenues to gain profit....

Complete Games Shutouts Nearly Extinct In Today S Baseball

The numbers are striking. Go back to 1978, and there were more than 1,000 complete games in the majors. Move to 2003, and the total was about 200. In 2018, though, there were only 42 — the lowest total in the sport’s history, according to Baseball-Reference .com — and just 19 of those were shutouts, the fewest since the 1870s. Or to put it a different way: Roughly every other game featured a starter who went the distance 40 years ago, whereas about one in every 55 games did last season....

Column Ioc Must Wield Big Stick To Clean Up Weightlifting

When initial drug testing came back negative from the most recent world championships, it fleetingly seemed that weightlifting might be starting to turn a corner. Perhaps the fight launched against the sport’s steroid culture, laid bare by more than 50 positive tests from the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, was bearing fruit? Maybe IOC pressure and a vague threat to possibly exclude weightlifting from future Olympic competition had helped steer dopers away from their needles and pills?...

Companies Like Zoom Must Choose America Or China Opinion

As U.S. protesters flocked to the streets to support racial equality, Chinese dissidents took to the wires to virtually memorialize the June 4 massacre at Tiananmen Square—an activity normally banned in China by the authoritarian one-party regime. But newly ubiquitous teleconferencing platform Zoom shut down the account of a California-based activist because of a vigil he held. Zoom’s rationale? It said it has to comply with Chinese law that prevents the mere mention of the Tiananmen massacre—even if that means disrupting access in the United States, and even if no particular law could be cited....
