What netizens are saying about Source Music terminating Kim Garam's exclusive contract

 On July 20, Source Music officially announced that the label has decided to terminate their exclusive contract with LE SSERAFIM member Kim Garam. Even before her debut, Kim Garam had been at the center of attention with various allegations of school bullying. Even after Source Music denied the allegations, additional claims and even evidence of the idol being summoned to the Autonomous Committee for Countermeasures against School Violence.  Nevertheless, the entertainment agency stood its ground and did not remove Kim Garam from LE SSERAFIM but rather put her on a temporary hiatus causing many netizens to be angry.  Then finally, on July 20, Source Music decided to terminate the contract with the idol and remove her from the group. In response, many netizens are expressing their satisfaction and commented, "This is a good example. We need to let bullies know that they can't be successful in the entertainment industry after being a bully," "People say she did those t

NBA offseason winners and losers: Rockets loving the Brooklyn chaos, Jazz set up for multiple rebuild routes

 One thing not a lot of people are talking about with all the Brooklyn Nets drama is how much the Rockets stand to benefit. Houston owns Brooklyn's 2024 and 2026 first-round picks as well as the right to swap first-round picks with the Nets in 2023, 2025 and 2027. If the Nets get worse, which looks like a certainty once Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are traded, those picks that Houston owns suddenly become a lot more valuable.  That makes Houston but one of many offseason winners as we're into Day 4 of the free agency period. We'll slowly be factoring in draft results as we flesh out this full list of 2022 offseason winners and losers. This post will continue to update. Here's what we have so far.  Winner: Boston Celtics After finishing two wins from an NBA championship, the Celtics went out and landed Danilo Gallinari, who cleared waivers after being let go by San Antonio, and Malcolm Brogdon in a trade with the Pacers, who took back Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, Nik St

Kyrie Irving trade rumors: Lakers, Nets actively discussing deal involving Russell Westbrook, per report

 The Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers are making progress on a trade that would swap Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook, according to Chris Haynes. Other pieces would have to be involved, but there is "palpable optimism" that the two sides can figure out a deal this summer.  Irving recently opted into the final year of his deal worth $36.4 million but is expected to be traded after his star teammate Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets. "If Kevin Durant is on the first train out, Kyrie Irving will be on the caboose as far as the Nets are concerned," Brian Windhorst reported earlier this week.  Coming off a season in which he played just 29 games because he refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and given his previous injury history -- Irving hasn't played 70 games in a season since 2017 when he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers -- the market for the mercurial guard is understandably not as robust as the one for Durant.  The Lakers, though, hav

Mick Schumacher ends long wait for first F1 points

 SILVERSTONE, England -- Mick Schumacher finally recorded a Formula One championship point as Haas returned to form in style at the British Grand Prix. F1 sophomore Schumacher finished eighth in what was his 31st F1 race start. The son of seven-time world champion Michael had been under increasing pressure to deliver results this year after a string of costly crashes earlier in the season for F1's lowest-spending team. Schumacher almost finished seventh, but just narrowly missed out on overtaking Max Verstappen's wounded Red Bull as they raced to the finish line, although that did not diminish the celebrations over the radio. "Finally, I told you guys it was this weekend! Oh my god, you guys are brilliant" Schumacher said, before swearing a couple of times. He laughed and then said: "Excuse my swearing!" After climbing out of his car Schumacher was congratulated by Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel, who grew up idolising his father, and a number of other d

Ferrari defends Charles Leclerc's British GP strategy

 SILVERSTONE, England -- Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto has defended his team's strategy at the British Grand Prix after giving multiple reasons for the decision not to pit Charles Leclerc under a late Safety Car. Leclerc was leading the British Grand Prix when a Safety Car was called on Lap 39 for Esteban Ocon stopping his Alpine car on track. Ferrari had time to call Leclerc into the pits, but instead opted to keep him out on track while pitting teammate Carlos Sainz, who was running in second place. By opting against pitting Leclerc, it meant he was on much older tyres than his rivals at the restart and he ultimately lost places to Sainz, Hamilton and Sergio Perez, who had all stopped for fresh tyres under the Safety Car. When Ferrari told Leclerc to stay out there was a nine second gap to Sainz at Safety Car speeds, which should have been enough to clear him from the pit box before Sainz came in. However, Ferrari's strategists believed it was not possible to complete

Track breached by 'Just Stop Oil' protesters at British Grand Prix

 SILVERSTONE -- A group of protesters breached the track on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix and were on the circuit when cars came past. The protesters managed to get onto the circuit at the Wellington straight, which lies just after the first sequence of corners. In a huge stroke of fortune, by the time the cars reached that part of the track they had started to slow dramatically for red flags which had been shown after a multi-car pileup at Turn 1. A group known as 'Just Stop Oil' claimed to be behind it on Sunday. Seven protesters were arrested. When told about the protest after the race in the press conference for the top three finishers Lewis Hamilton appeared to issue support, saying: "Big up to them". He went on to explain: "I didn't know what the protestors were for, so I only just found out. I just said big up the protestors. I love that people are fighting for the planet. So we need more people like them." Mercedes later clarified Ham
