ESPN obtains RedZone, other media assets from NFL in blockbuster deal, per report

ESPN obtains RedZone, other media assets from NFL in blockbuster deal, per report

In one of the biggest media deals this century, ESPN and the National Football League agreed to a deal that will send popular entities such as RedZone over to the network,according to The Athletic. The deal, according to the report, could be worth billions and is expected to be formally announced next week. ESPN is gearing to start its direct-to-consumer service within weeks, which consumers are expected to pay nearly $30 a month, allowing buyers to cut cable subscriptions even further as people have more choices than ever in how they consume content featuring the nation's most popular and attended spectator sport. The network is expected to absorb the aforementioned RedZone, NFL Network, headquartered in Inglewood, California, and to take on its slate of games this season as well as the league's popular fantasy football franchises. It is not expected that NFL Films is part of the deal, but the league is likely to take a 10% stake in the majority Disney-owned ESPN. The league is currently in an 11-year, $111 billion media rights deal with Amazon, CBS, ESPN, Fox, and NBC, which is set to expire in 2033. The deal still needs to be approved by government regulators, but is expected to be done in plenty of time for the network to gear up for its Super Bowl 61 coverage. The game is set for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The game is to be aired by ABC, another Disney-owned property.

Lionel Messi needs to find his groove again to lead Inter Miami in Leagues Cup

Lionel Messi needs to find his groove again to lead Inter Miami in Leagues Cup

USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. FORT LAUDERDALE, FL –Lionel MessiandInter Miamiwon their first match in the2025 Leagues Cupbut find themselves looking up at five other clubs in the tournament standings before their second match of the group stage. Inter Miami needs Messi to find his groove again if they're going to advance in the tournament. The 2025 Leagues Cup features a new format: While the matches are between Major League Soccer teams and LIGA MX clubs from Mexico, the top four clubs from each league will advance to the knockout stage. Earning three points for a win isn't enough in this year's edition. Goal differential is the next tiebreaker in the table, placing a greater emphasis on scoring to advance to the quarterfinals. "You look at the table, and you've won and you're in sixth place because of the goal difference. There are still two games to play, a lot can happen," Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said a day before the club's match against Necaxa at Chase Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 2. Messi delivered assists on goals scored by Telasco Segovia and Marcelo Weigandt inInter Miami's 2-1 win against Atlas on July 30, but complained about feeling fatigued in his first match after having last week off. Messi was suspended forskipping the MLS All-Star Gameon July 23, causing him to serve a one-game suspension on July 26. Before the layoff, Messi scored two goals in four of five matches following the FIFA Club World Cup. "Even if [the rest] seems better, for me it's worse because I need to compete. I feel good physically the more matches I play and get into rhythm,"Messi told Apple TV."The other day they didn't let me compete, and I felt it in the first half, but the important thing is that we won." 🎙️ Las palabras de nuestro capitán tras la victoria 🐐pic.twitter.com/i05ewhu51H — Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF)July 31, 2025 Mascherano expects Messi to find his form again, especially with Inter Miami having three of its next four matches at home. The only away match is against in-state rivalOrlando Cityon Aug. 10. "Unless Leo feels tired and doesn't say anything, the idea is that if he feels good, he'll always play," Mascherano said of Messi. Inter Miami needs its biggest star to keep pace with the MLS clubs in Leagues Cup. TheSeattle Soundersthrashed reigning Concacaf Champions Cup winners Cruz Azul 7-0, whileL.A. Galaxybeat Tijuana 5-2 on July 31. ThePortland Timberstoppled Atlético de San Luis 4-0, andMinnesota Unitedbeat Querétaro 4-1 on July 30. Seattle, Portland, the Galaxy and Minnesota are the top four clubs in the MLS side of the Leagues Cup table, followed byFC Cincinnati(which beat Monterrey 3-2 on July 31), Inter Miami, theColorado RapidsandNew York Red Bulls. Those eight MLS clubs won their first Leagues Cup match. The top four on the LIGA MX side are Tigres UANL, FC Juarez, Puebla and Necaxa after the first round of matches. After facing Necaxa, Inter Miami will host Tigres UANL on Wednesday, Aug. 6 in their last match of the group stage. "What keeps you going is trying to play well, get a good result, and then we'll see what happens," Mascherano said. "But I don't think there's much point in feeling sorry for yourself or focusing too much on other results." Necaxa is led by new coach Fernando Gago, barely two months into the job. They beatAtlanta United3-1 in their Leagues Cup opener on July 30. Gago was a starter alongside Messi and Mascherano in Argentina's 1-0 win in the Olympic men's soccer final in 2008, and came off the bench in their loss to Germany in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup final. "Fernando is a friend from soccer – someone I had the privilege of sharing many years with on the national team, but he's also someone I care about, someone I've shared moments with outside of soccer as well," Mascherano said of Gago. "It's always special to face people you know, people you've shared so many good times with. And in the end, when the ball starts rolling, I'll try to do everything I can to compete in the best way possible and win so we can still hope to qualify." The match begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 2, with live stream available onMLS Season Pass via Apple TV.

Senate confirms anti-DEI stalwart Andrea Lucas to second term at top workplace civil rights agency

Senate confirms anti-DEI stalwart Andrea Lucas to second term at top workplace civil rights agency

NEW YORK (AP) — The Senate confirmed Andrea Lucas to another term as commissioner of the country's workplace civil rights agency, demonstrating firm Republican support for her efforts toroot out diversity programs, roll back protections for transgender workers and prioritize religious rights in the workplace. Democratic lawmakers and prominent civil rights groups fiercely opposed Lucas' confirmation, saying she has subjected the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to the whims of the president, who elevated her to acting chair in January and, in an unprecedented act,fired two of the agency's Democratic commissionersbefore their terms expired. Lucas, who was first appointed to the EEOC in 2020, secured another five-year term with a 52-45 party-line Senate vote on Thursday night, but it will be up toPresident Donald Trumpif she continues as chair. Lucas hasfirmly aligned the EEOC with Trump's civil rights agenda, declaring during her confirmation hearing last month that she doesn't consider the agency to be independent, a position she acknowledged was a shift from her previously stated views. In compliance with Trump's executive order declaring two unchangeable sexes, the EEOCdropped lawsuits on behalf of transgender workersand stalled progress on others. Lucas has also leveraged the EEOC's enforcement powers to help the Trump administration target private institutions over their DEI programs or allegations of antisemitism. Her confirmation came a week after the EEOC secured a $21 million settlement with Columbia University over allegations of harassment against Jewish employees, part ofa broader agreement with the Trump administrationto restore federal research money. "I look forward to continuing the historic progress this agency has made since the start of the second Trump Administration under my leadership — from securing multiple settlements with some of the world's largest law firms to disavow DEI and embrace merit-based hiring and other employment practices, to obtaining the largest EEOC settlement to date for victims of antisemitism on behalf of Jewish employees at Columbia University," Lucas said in a statement following her confirmation. Democrats have assailed Lucas' leadership as part of the Trump administration's widerattempts to increase his authorityby politicizing agencies long considered to be independent. "In just a few short months as Acting Chair, Andrea Lucas has warped the mission of the EEOC beyond recognition and weaponized the agency to green light discrimination, roll back protections for people who are sexually assaulted at work, and intimidate anyone who challenges President Trump," Sen. Patty Murray said in a statement. Last week, legal and civil rights groups filed a lawsuit against the EEOC claiming that is has unlawfully refused to enforce federal protections for transgender workers. But Republican senators and some business groups and religious institutions have praised Lucas' leadership, especially her commitment to rolling back Biden-era guidance and regulationsstrengthening protections for transgender workersandwomen seeking abortions, birth control and fertility treatments. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supported Lucas' confirmation, saying in a statement that she "believes in finding balance in EEOC policies and decisions." The EEOC, which investigates employment discrimination in the private sector, was created by Congress under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The dismissals of the commissioners left the EEOC without the quorum needed to make some major decisions. That will change if the Senate confirms a second Trump nominee, Britanny Panuccio.

Lawmaker unveils 'ERIC ADAMS Act' threatening criminal penalties for sanctuary city mayors

Lawmaker unveils 'ERIC ADAMS Act' threatening criminal penalties for sanctuary city mayors

FIRST ON FOX:A House lawmaker is making a push to hold mayors of sanctuary cities responsible forillegal immigrantscommitting murder within their jurisdictions. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing the Establishing Responsibility for Illegals' Crimes and Adding Deterrence and Accountability for Mayors' Sanctuary Cities Act, or the ERIC ADAMS Act, on Friday. If passed, the bill would open sanctuary city mayors to criminal liability if illegal immigrants living there were found guilty of murder. Comer Dismisses Biden Doctor's Bid For Pause In Cover-up Probe: 'Throwing Out Every Excuse' It's named after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is up for re-election this November. Carter, meanwhile, is running to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., in the November 2026 midterms. Read On The Fox News App The bill's introduction comes days after theTrump administrationmoved to sue the Big Apple for its sanctuary policies, one of multiple such lawsuits President Donald Trump's officials are pursuing against Democrat-run cities and states. Far-left Firebrand Says She 'Never Had A Concern' About Biden's Mental State As House Probe Heats Up Under the terms of Carter's legislation, a sanctuary city mayor could be found guilty of "criminal negligence resulting in manslaughter" if an undocumented person committed murder there and if "the mayor knowingly adopted, maintained, or failed to repeal a sanctuary policy that materially restricted cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement, and such policy directly and foreseeably contributed to the failure to detain or remove" the person before the crime was committed, according to bill text obtained by Fox News Digital. It would carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison, as well as certain fines. Enforcement would be left to theattorney general, the bill text said. "Laken Riley and countless other loved ones could still be alive today if our immigration laws were respected by mayors of sanctuary cities," Carter told Fox News Digital, referencing a nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant in early 2024 in Georgia. "As far as I'm concerned, they have blood on their hands and should be held personally accountable for creating a lawless environment that allows criminal illegal aliens to commit murder." Kayla Mamelak, a spokesperson for Adams, told Fox News Digital when reached for comment: "It's often said that if both the left and the right are angry with you, you might be doing something right." "Mayor Adams is focused on what best protects and serves all the people of New York City. Keeping New Yorkers safe also means making sure they feel safe, and Mayor Adams has been clear: no one should be afraid to dial911, send their kids to school, or go to the hospital, and no New Yorker should feel forced to hide in the shadows," the Adams spokesperson said. "That's why the mayor supports the essence of the local laws put in place by the City Council, but he has also urged the Council to reexamine them to ensure we can effectively work with the federal government to keep violent criminals off our streets." Fox News Digital also reached out to Adams' campaign for comment but did not hear back.
