Meta is working with FIFA to curb online harassment at the World Cup
Meta is attempting to get ahead of harassment concerns during the 2022 FIFA World Cup by laying out what the company is doing to protect players and fans from harmful content.

In a blog post today, Meta says it is working wi…

World Cup stage is set for Ronaldo and Messi, who are not ready for their 'Last Dance' just yet
It's not a "Last Dance." Neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi has announced their retirement, and neither man has already won the biggest prize in football, the World Cup, which is what the next five weeks are all about. It's not a "Changing of the Guard," either. Sure, they have heirs apparent, but of the two obvious ones -- Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe -- one will be watching Qatar 2022 on TV because Norway failed to qualify, while the other is surrounded by so much talent on a France team that are alrea…

Lunchbreak: 123newsbox Sports Previews Vikings & Commanders Offenses
The Vikings have leaned on the durability of quarterback Kirk Cousins since he joined Minnesota in 2018. The Washington Commanders, meanwhile, have had a carousel of quarterbacks, with 11 starting under center since Cousins' departure.

Heinicke has helped lead the Commanders to three consecutive victories while Cousins has guided the Vikings to a 6-1 s…
The sports world loves Twitter. Will that love survive Elon Musk?
Mark Cuban has owned the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks for more than two decades, since long before streaming services or social media or smartphones. So the earthquake rocking the tech world with tremors shaking myriad intertwi ned industries — Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter purchase last week — doesn’t worry Cuban too much. “We thrived before Twitter,” Cuban said this week in an email. “We can thrive after if need be.” From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, industry leaders are trying to assess the continued fallout of Musk’s Twitter takeover, which …

Marvel Is Right To Wait On Black Panther 3
With the uncertainty over how Wakanda Forever will be received after Chadwick Boseman’s passing, it makes sense for Marvel to wait on Black Panther 3. There is plenty of appetite for a Black Panther 3 even before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is released, but Marvel is justified in waiting for audience reaction to the second outing before making concrete plans for a third. Black Panther has become one of Marvel's most beloved characters since he was introduced to the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, but the tragic passing of Chadwick Bo…
