14 h. ago Why is Michael Jordan suing Nascar? The blockbuster antitrust trial, explained

The basketball legend claims Nascar holds too much power over who gets to race each week. Here’s why he took them to court and what could happen nextMichael Jordan took the stand on Friday in his landmark antitrust fight against Nascar, a case that could reshape how one of America’s biggest sports is run.

Die Hard isn’t a Christmas film, claims the British public. But Pillion reminds us that the finest festive films reflect the complexities of the seasonCan Die Hard – the 1988 action movie starring Bruce Willis as an NYPD detective hoping to reconcile with his estranged wife on Christmas Eve – be called a Christmas film?

One neighbour even shared a picture of their Die Hard tree baubles to prove the point.But an official poll by the British Board of Film Classification has now asserted the contrary – with 44% deciding that Die Hard should not be designated a Christmas movie, against 38% in favour. To some, even with the odd tinsel-strewn tree thrown in, the gun fights, violence and hostage-taking just don’t feel festive. For an admirable 5% of respondents, it remains their favourite Christm...
