Today we barbeque, hit the pool and hang out with friends, but we also remember those who gave their lives protecting our country.
Thank you for your service,

MLB (major league baseball)
The San Francisco Giants are making headlines but not for what they're doing on the field. The manager of the Giants, Gabe Kapler, is vowing to stay off the field during the national anthem to protest the nation's current state after the shooting in Texas. Out of respect for the meaning of Memorial Day, he said he may join his team on the field today.
Then in a tale of a high fantasy football league gone wrong, Cincinnati Reds player Tommy Pham has been suspended for slapping Giants' Joc Pederson. Pederson read text messages to reporters about how he talked smack to Pham's teammates in their fantasy football group text but then apologized. SMDH (AKA SHAKING MY D*&M HEAD)

Before We Go
The first capacity crowd Champions League Final (European soccer) since 2019 was marred by crowd issues that delayed the game by 37 minutes. The context of how it happened is still being investigated, but some fans were met with tear gas from police when trying to enter the stadium. Ultimately, the fans and celebrities in attendance like Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, Rafael Nadal and LeBron James had a chance to see Real Madrid beat Liverpool for the illustrious title of Champions League winners. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
