Costco is cracking down on shoppers that borrow a friend of family's membership card at checkout. Netflix stock has jumped more than 20% since its password sharing crackdown began in the US in late-May. "Our membership policy states that our membership cards are not transferable and since expanding our self-service checkout, we've noticed that non-member shoppers have been using membership cards that do not belong to them," Costco said in a statement. This strategic move allows Costco to increase its membership revenue without necessarily raising its annual membership fee," Sundaram said. So far, Wall Street is receptive of Costco's recent crackdown, with the stock up about 2% since the policy crackdown was revealed on Tuesday.

It pitted Mr. Bayless, a journalist who helped popularize the daytime sports talk format on ESPN with a show called “First Take,” against Mr. Sharpe, a Hall of Fame tight end who won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos and one with the Baltimore Ravens. In an early episode of the show in 2016, Lil Wayne appeared to discuss the national anthem protests led by Colin Kaepernick and other N.F.L. This is not a perspective that has much cultural purchase on NPR or CNN, but it is shared by millions of Americans. Throughout their exchange, Mr. Bayless asked occasional questions but seemed mostly content to listen. A self-described “God and country guy,” Mr. Bayless is often considered a mouthpiece for older, tradition-minded sports fans, but his own views are somewhat less predictable.
