In late February, Budweiser and Ozzie Smith started the charge for baseball's opening day to become a national holiday. On Friday, the campaign reached its goal of 100,000 signatures prior to a March 26 deadline. The White House has 60 days to respond, but an accelerated conversation could already be happening. "We're working with them to accelerate that so we can get a quicker response," Tom Kraus, director of Budweiser Brand Marketing at Anheuser-Busch InBev said....

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news. As of this day, AJ Styles has held the WWE Title, the so-called most prestigious title in sports entertainment, for 255 days, which, as we all know, is the longest WWE Title Reign since that historic 434-day reign by CM Punk between 2011 and 2013. Just like Punk during the first half of his reign, Styles has fended off challenges from almost all viable opponents in the last 8 months and has regularly wrestled acclaimed matches on live TV and pay per views....

However today, the world’s largest pro-wrestling company is no longer the destination that everybody wants to be in. There are many obvious reasons for this such as the creative process and underutilizing of talent, but why exactly are these things happening and what is making people so unhappy that they wish to leave WWE? WWE was once the go-to destination if you wanted to be a globally recognized name, so why are people really wanting to leave?...

Several feuds have been overdone week after week so much that it’s become a running joke of ‘how many times will Finn Balor wrestler Elias’ or ‘Bobby Roode vs. Elias’. And even though they produce gold every time they wrestle, how many times do we need to see the Usos vs. The New Day? Guys like Finn Balor and Samoa Joe are so clearly ready for any type of title run, but it seems that creative and the decision makers are reluctant to put any sort of belt on either....

The Shield’s first run ended, and the group disbanded when Seth Rollins turned on his brothers and joined The Authority. Since then all three members of the group became world champions and are having a successful career in the WWE. It’s natural that when WWE splits up a team they always have plans to reunite them in the future, and the fans were waiting for The Shield‘s reunion. That came to fruition when the trio were rejoined in October 2017....

The stranded whale was found at 11:45 a.m. local time on Saturday morning, about 100 yards south of the historic Peter Iredale Shipwreck at Fort Stevens State Park. The whale has since moved closer to the shore.

The university unveiled its new Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Center recently, and if you’ve seen the Ducks’ cutting edge uniforms you won’t be shocked at how incredible this new facility is. “The goal of this project was to create one space where we could utilize the most state-of-the-art technology to improve student-athlete wellness and emphasize our commitment to the health and safety of our student-athletes,” Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in a release....

Day 2 will see the other half of the draw begin their Australian Open campaigns. On that note, here are some predictions for the biggest men’s singles matches of the day: Rafael Nadal vs Hugo Dellien Despite finishing 2019 as World Number 1, Nadal hasn’t quite looked like the best player in the world so far in 2020. Nadal’s form was shaky throughout the ATP Cup earlier this month, where he lost to David Goffin and Novak Djokovic in straight sets during the knockout stages....

At the 2018 tournament it got as hot as 40 degrees Celsius in the shade, while the likes of Novak Djokovic criticised organisers after the failure to suspend matches being played in extreme conditions. A 10-minute break for women’s and junior’s singles was already in place, but under the new rules, men’s singles’ matches will also take a 10-minute rest after the third set, should temperatures reach a pre-determined level....

Created by L.L. McKinney, author of the Nightmare-Verse series that began with 2018’s A Blade So Black, the hashtag #PublishingPaidMe has already revealed apparent pay differences in the money initially offered to black authors versus their white counterparts. “There’s a difference between knowing and knowing, right?” McKinney told Newsweek in response to emailed questions. “We expected there to be disparities. We expected there to be large disparities. But the gap is miles wide....

Due to the necessity to develop new technologies in order to film breathtaking sequences involving performance capture scenes underwater, a feat that has never been accomplished before in the history of cinema, Avatar’s sequels seemed as if they were delayed every year. At the rate Cameron’s production was going, the return to Pandora seemed as if it wouldn’t occur for another 20 years. Finally, after waiting roughly 13 years, Avatar 2 has finally found a release date, making no better time to discuss the upcoming epic....

On Instagram, Landau shared a post of himself and James Cameron wearing face masks and personal protective equipment upon arrival in New Zealand.

Seen by many as the cusp of superhero films, and it certainly is from a commercial standpoint, Marvel Studios’ Battle of Earth has become a beloved moment for pop culture with those scenes producing fantastic clips and memes online. Whether it’s the sight of Captain America holding Thor’s Mjolnir or Iron Man’s last words before banishing Thanos, that part of Avengers: Endgame alone offers plenty of inspiration for artists who are fond of Marvel....

As most will remember, Tony Stark does not survive the events of Avengers: Endgame, sacrificing his life in order to use the Infinity Stones to stop Thanos once and for all. Before that, however, Pepper Potts, who typically doesn’t get involved in the fighting, showed up in an Iron Man suit of her own in order to help save the universe.
