Late in the 2025 season, MLB sent a memo to players warning that investing in baseball "predictive markets" like Kalshi and Robinhood violated its gambling policy. Over at @frontofficesports.bsky.social, I dig into the ongoing legal debate around what even constitutes a sports bet.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
