  • Sports Betting Is Starting to Look Like an Investment to Gen Z - Sports betting is taking on a new role among younger Americans, with some bettors treating wagers as an alternative form of investing. A Bank of America survey found that one in five Americans sees sports betting as a form of investment, with that view twice as common among Gen Z respondents. Yet the financial results tell a different story: bettors get back less than 75 cents for every dollar wagered on average.

  • Roger Goodell Is Staying in Charge Through 2030 - NFL owners have agreed to a four-year contract extension for Commissioner Roger Goodell, keeping him in the role through the 2030 season and until March 31, 2031. Goodell has led the league since 2006, making this his fifth contract extension. His new deal arrives ahead of major issues for the NFL, including the next collective bargaining agreement, new media rights negotiations and a possible move to an 18-game regular season. More than 95% of his compensation will reportedly be tied to performance measures.

  • Alex Michelsen Joins the American US Open Surge - Alex Michelsen has reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the US Open after beating Argentina's Tomás Martín Etcheverry in straight sets. The 23-year-old American won 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 and has yet to drop a set in New York. He now faces fellow American Frances Tiafoe, who defeated former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev. The all-American quarterfinal guarantees a U.S. man will reach the semifinals.

🔧 Digital Tip

A VPN can change the IP address visible to a streaming service, but that does not always mean every connection is travelling through the VPN.

Try this: Check whether your VPN handles IPv6 traffic. Some VPN setups protect IPv4 traffic while allowing IPv6 connections to bypass the tunnel. That can create a mismatch between the IP address used for the stream and the network information exposed elsewhere.
