Teamsters President To Address Republican Convention At Trump’s Invitation – Yahoo! Voices

Posted: June 22, 2024 at 11:25 am

International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean OBrien plans to address the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next month, in what would be a rare appearance by a high-profile labor leader at the GOPs quadrennial meeting.

Former President Donald Trump announced the news on his social media platform Truth Social on Friday, saying OBrien had accepted my invitation.

Sean, I look forward to seeing you represent the Teamsters in Milwaukee, Trump said. Together we can Make America Great Again.

A Teamsters spokesperson confirmed the planned appearance in an email and said OBrien had asked to speak at both the Democratic and GOP conventions.

This is truly unprecedented since it will be the very first time a Teamsters General President has addressed the RNC, the spokesperson said. Our 1.3 million members represent every political background, and their message needs to be heard by as wide an audience as possible, and that includes all political candidates running for elected office.

Most major unions have either publicly opposed or kept their distance from Trump, whose agenda as president was extremely hostile to organized labor. The Teamsters endorsed President Joe Biden during his 2020 run against Trump, but so far, the union has declined to throw its backing behind either candidate for 2024.

In the meantime, OBrien appears happy to hear Trump out. He and other top Teamsters met with the former president in January, rankling members who strongly oppose a Trump return to the White House.

OBrien, who took the helm of the union in March of 2022, said it was important to speak with all candidates.

Theres always a threat to organized labor, so we want to be proactive and make certain every candidate not just President Biden understands how important our issues are, he told Politico in March.

When Trump was president, he wasnt exactly friendly to organized labor. He installed members on the National Labor Relations Board who made it more difficult for workers to organize unions and rolled back several workplace regulations meant to improve safety and raise wages.

Once Biden arrived at the White House, he set to peeling back several of those Trump-era changes and shaped the NLRB into arguably its most pro-union form in decades. He also signed a coronavirus relief package that provided $86 billion in funding for troubled union pension funds, with the largest beneficiary being a Teamsters plan.

The AFL-CIO labor federation, which includes 60 unions but not the Teamsters, has already endorsed Biden for reelection. So has the United Auto Workers union, whose president, Shawn Fain, declared during the announcement in January that Trump is a scab.

Why Maryland sportsbooks are just a fraction of sports wagering – WTOP

Posted: at 11:23 am

There are 13 retail sportsbooks in Maryland, at casinos and sports bars, and 12 approved sports betting apps but apps account for the vast majority of wagering every month.

In May, retail sports wagering locations accounted for $12 million in wagering. Mobile apps logged more than $419 million, or more than 95% of all betting. Retail generated $875,000 in taxes for the state in May, compared to $45.7 million to the state from mobile apps.

One reason sports betting parlors so significantly trail mobile wagering in Maryland is that Maryland is not Las Vegas, and Maryland is also not unique, with sports betting legal in 38 states and the District.

I think a lot of people thought there would be a tourist draw with these retail sportsbooks. And it really hasnt quite happened, said Steve Bittenbender at BetMaryland.

Sportsbooks do have draws that apps do not; mainly, the experience. Multiple large screens showing several live sporting events simultaneously, bars and food and a general social atmosphere that gamblers dont get from their phone. But Bittenbender says sports fans can create that same experience without having to go someplace.

People have realized that they can stay at home and watch a couple of games at the same time in their basement or their den, and bet from multiple sportsbooks from their phone. So that has taken some of the allure out of the sportsbook experience, he said.

Sportsbooks are not irrelevant by any means. They are marketing draws for casinos and bars, and have guardrails sports betting apps dont necessarily have.

Some do it for responsible gaming purposes. Ive had a friend of mine tell me he will not put an app on his phone because he knows that is too much of a temptation. It is better for him to place bets at a kiosk, Bittenbender said.

The majority of tax revenue Maryland casinos send to the state goes to its Blueprint for Marylands Future Fund for public education programs. But expired prizes, or winnings not collected by bettors, go to the states Problem Gambling Fund. Since December 2021, when Maryland sports wagering began, $3.1 million has gone to the Problem Gambling Fund.

MLB Picks Today: Baseball Best Bets, Predictions, Odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for June 19 – DraftKings

Posted: at 11:23 am

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images

Theres a full afternoon of baseball goodness on tap for Wednesday, but this article will be focused on the games taking place this evening. Why? Because I said so. Thats why.

Were 28-17 (+10.3u) on MLB article plays so far this season. Lets dive in and find some winners.

View the latest odds and bet online legally at a top rated Sportsbook! Place a bet now at DraftKings Sportsbook!*

*Odds and lines are for illustrative purposes only.

One of my golden rules of gambling in 2024 has been to never trust the Blue Jays to score runs. Its not hard to see why thats the case. Thanks primarily to disappointing seasons from Bo Bichette, George Springer and Justin Turner, Toronto has been underwhelming with the bats all year long. Specific to June, the Blue Jays rank 28th in ISO (.111) and 27th in wRC+ (81). Not great.

However, tonights matchup on the mound doesnt exactly set up like a pitchers duel despite some name value. Kevin Gausman has been absolutely putrid toeing the rubber at Rogers Centre this season, registering a 6.44 ERA and allowing opponents to combine for a massive .391 wOBA. In general, Gausmans fastball velocity is down (93.6) and his barrel rate is a career-high 10.8%. Thats how a perennial Cy Young candidate is suddenly sporting an ugly 4.98 xERA. The Red Sox, who own a AL-best .368 wOBA since June 1, should be able to hit the RHP and put up some crooked numbers. If not, Boston will at least get to Torontos beat-up bullpen, which is in possession of baseballs highest FIP (4.93).

Id be remiss if I also didnt mention the struggles of Brayan Bello. The 25-year-old has had his issues the past month, pitching to a robust 6.89 ERA and 5.01 FIP across his last six starts. Its a stretch of time where opponents are slashing a cool .302/.381/.481 off the right-hander. As stated above, its hard to project too much from the Jays lineup, but they should be able to scratch out a few runs versus Bello.

While I know the circumstances surrounding Coles start this evening, it is odd to see the reigning AL Cy Young winners strikeout prop set at such a modest number. For context, Coles managed at least six strikeouts in 47 of his last 66 regular season starts. That means hes exceeded this total a whopping 71.2% of the time since the beginning of 2022. Honestly, with Cole in possession of a 33.4% strikeout rate dating back to 2018, its almost surprising hes failed to hit this over even once.

The 33-year-old looked like his usual self in his three rehab outings in the minors, even striking out 10 of the 16 batters he faced in a Triple-A start last Friday. In total, Cole threw 70 pitches that night in Rochester, meaning hes likely built up to throw 80-to-85 pitches on Wednesday in the Bronx. As for his matchup, Baltimore ranks inside the top 10 in both strikeout rate (23.7%) and swinging strike rate (11.8%) over the last two weeks. The Orioles can swing it with the best teams in baseball, yet they are not impervious to a whiff every now and then.

Game information for Belgium vs. Romania

Belgium was taken aback by a 1-0 defeat to Slovakia in their opening tournament game. Now the Red Devils need to bounce back against a Romania team that is riding high after a commanding 3-0 win over Ukraine, which has put them in a strong position to advance to the next round.

Frustrated by two disallowed goals and their first defeat in 16 matches, Belgium finds themselves in a precarious third place and eager to shake off the taste of defeat. Conversely, Romania is confident after their 3-0 victory over Ukraine, with goals from Nicolae Stanciu, Razvan Marin, and Denis Dragus. Romania, having suffered only one defeat in their last 16 matches, is aiming to secure a spot in the knockout stage.

Belgium, ranked 3rd in the world by FIFA, remains the clear favorite on paper. However, 47th-ranked Romania shouldnt be underestimated after their impressive performance. Despite their recent setbacks, Belgiums determination to rebound could be a decisive factor.

While Romania presents a significant challenge, Belgiums superior talent and drive for victory should help them eke out a narrow win. This match promises to be a tense affair with qualification implications on the line.

Pick: Belgium -220
