Team USA is dominating the snowboarding field, winning gold at the first four events. Shaun White is the latest, but his big win is stirring up controversy. After White won his third Olympic gold medal in the snowboarding halfpipe, reports began to recirculate of sexual harassment allegations against the athlete from 2016. When asked about it in a press conference after his win, White dodged the question, and said he was only there to talk about the Olympics. Shea Corrigan, Olympics Editor at FanSided, says this story is only beginning to pick up heat because people are just learning about it. Corrigan says that when the original allegations came to light, White was at his most irrelevant. It wasn't a Winter Olympics year, and he hadn't medalled in 2014.

MLB on Partnering With Apple TV+ to Stream Friday Night Doubleheaders
Baseball is as American as — Apple TV+. The National Pasttime has a new media partner this season, as the MLB will be streaming Friday night doubleheaders on the Apple streaming service. Noah Garden, the league's chief revenue officer, spoke to Cheddar News to break down the details of what's being offered in the new package and why Major League Baseball felt the need to make the move this year. "We've been in a situation where we've lost reach, even within the cable bundle. There are situations where people in the local market don't have access to watch their favorite team and their local team on top of that," he said.
