Bradley Beal Trending Over Video Motivating AAU Team, Armchair Athlete Twitter Cries About It

A new video going wide shows the Washington Wizards star attempting to motivate a group of high school players, and Armchair Athlete Twitter dared to chastise Beal. Washington area filmmaker Jeff Garvin shared a video on social media of him speaking to a group of young players who apparently blew a lead in the game. Beal, 28, gives the youngsters solid advice on being a team player and playing as one instead of chasing individual glory.

New York Moves to Ban Hidden Fees from Concert Tickets
New York State is working to save you from the heartache of spending way more on concert tickets than you originally anticipated. A new bill will ban hidden fees from concert tickets, requiring ticketing companies to show “all-in” ticket prices up front rather than letting them sneak up on you at the last minute. Via Stereogum, as of June 3rd the bill has passed the New York state senate and assembly and is awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul’s signature. Once signed, both primary and resale vendors will be required to disclose the final ticket cost on concert tickets’ initial listing, offering a more accurate picture of ticket pricing. What’s more, that final ticket cost cannot be printed in a smaller type size than the initial cost — a nod to the bill’s requirement that prices be displayed in...

It is in that spirit that we made our decision to play in Israel.” Aware that many fans would likely not support their decision to perform in a country currently occupying another, Big Thief went on on to add, “We ar...

Lorde’s “Solar Power Tour” brought her to London on Friday night (June 3rd), and along with cuts from her latest album, the New Zealand pop star shouted out Canadian artist Carly Rae Jepsen with a dramatic cover of Jepsen’s 2015 banger “Run Away with Me.” Performed as a prelude to Melodrama ballad “Writer in the Dark,” Lorde’s take on “Run Away with Me” transformed the upbeat single into a slow piano moment. Singing the track’s infamous saxophone riff, the audience joined Lorde in for a massive run through of the chorus before the artist seamlessly transitioned into “Writer in the Dark.” “Just felt like doing it,” Lorde said. “Thank you for indulging me.” Fortunately for the London crowd, Lorde seemed more open to audience singalongs last night than she has been in the past. “Will you...
