ESPN will launch its flagship direct-to-consumer service in either August or the fall of 2025, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced during an interview Wednesday with CNBC's Julia Boorstin. The service will include all of ESPN's programming and feature new personalization and integration with ESPN's fantasy platforms and ESPN Bet. The direct-to-consumer service would have been the first time noncable subscribers could access ESPN outside of the traditional cable bundle. ESPN didn't announce a price for the flagship direct-to-consumer service. Disney already has a sports streaming service in ESPN+, which ended the quarter with 25.2 million subscribers, down from 26 million a quarter ago.

CNN —Inter Miami suffered a chastening Major League Soccer defeat by Chicago Fire on Wednesday – losing 4-1 – with talisman Lionel Messi missing through injury yet again. Messi has now missed the last four matches and his team has struggled to fill the gap left by the 36-year-old forward. Late last month, Miami manager Gerardo Martino said Messi was dealing with an old scar tissue problem. Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesWith doubts around whether Messi would play the match at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the hosts offered fans a financial incentive to attend. “I understand the expectation in Chicago, like there’s been in other places, but when a player isn’t in condition to play, he can’t play.

Sep 20, 2023; Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA; Inter Miami CF forward Lionel Messi (10) runs with the ball against the Toronto FC during the first half at DRV PNK Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 3 (Reuters) - Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire have offered a financial incentive to ticket holders who attend their home game against Inter Miami on Wednesday given the uncertainty surrounding Lionel Messi's availability. Mindful that Messi may not play, Chicago said on Tuesday they will offer a $250 credit toward new memberships for next season -- or a $50 credit for anyone unable to use the new member credit -- to all single-game ticket buyers who attend the Miami match regardless of which players make an appearance. "While we don't yet know the official status of Lionel Messi's availability for our match tomorrow ... we understand that many of our fans may be disappointed if they don't get the chance to see him play," Chicago said in a news release.

"It has been such an honour to be able to wear this shirt, play with all these players and live out my childhood dream," Rapinoe said at the end of the game. With 203 caps and 63 goals for her national team, the veteran played in four World Cups, winning in 2015 and 2019, and helped the U.S. to claimed the Olympic gold at the 2012 London Games. Her activism and off-field personality brought her to achieve household fame after supporting causes such as LGBT+ rights, speaking out against racism and standing up for equal pay in women's soccer. Rapinoe is scheduled to play her last National Women's Soccer League regular-season game with OL Reign on Oct. 6 against Washington Spirit in Seattle.

Whether she was advocating for equal pay and racial justice or just scoring a rare goal off a corner kick, Megan Rapinoe was always unabashedly authentic during her soccer career. Rapinoe sobbed following the U.S. loss to Sweden at this summer's Women's World Cup, knowing it would be her final tournament with the national team. "I’ve just loved every moment of my career,” she said through tears at the World Cup last month in Australia. At the 2019 World Cup in France, Rapinoe scored six goals, including a penalty in the final against the Netherlands. Rapinoe led her team's long fight for equal pay with their men's national team, which started with an EEOC complaint back in 2016.

CNN —Week 1 of the new NFL season is in books and there are no shortage of talking points. This year’s influx of rookies made their first steps in the NFL over the weekend with varying success. Most notably was the serious-looking injury suffered by Aaron Rodgers on his New York Jets debut on Monday Night Football. It is the second serious injury Dobbins has suffered in his short NFL career after he tore his ACL, ruling him out of the 2021 season entirely. Matt Durisko/APAlso, can Zach Wilson – who was relegated to the Jets’ bench after Rodgers’ arrival – maintain a playoff push?

☆ Black and Tans: Biden confuses All Blacks rugby team with brutal police force
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Sophie Tanno | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —President Joe Biden made a gaffe during his visit to Ireland on Wednesday as he confused a rugby team with a controversial 1920s-era British police force. Biden was speaking at the Windsor Bar in Dundalk, Ireland, when he appeared to mistake New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans, a brutal force deployed against rebels during the Irish War of Independence. He received the Irish team tie after they won against New Zealand at Soldier Field in Chicago in November 2016. “See this tie I have, this shamrock tie?” Biden said. He personally called the Irish rugby union team to congratulate them when they defeated New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium in 2021.

☆ ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ Review: Story of a Faux Fleetwood Mac
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

One way to digest the fictional rock saga “ Daisy Jones & The Six” is as a spoof—not just of ’70s pop-star pretensions or celebrity excess but of the historical documentary as a genre. The acting is affected, the attitudes are arch, and it can’t possibly be intended as anything but parody. Or is that giving everyone too much credit? Based directly on Taylor Jenkins Reid ’s popular novel of the same name and indirectly on Fleetwood Mac, “Daisy” will find an audience, though its lazy reliance on ’70s counter-cultural clichés and apocryphal stories grows tiresome. Not only that, they’ve never spoken publicly about their legendary breakup.
