The dream for the world’s most elite football clubs is going down in flames, now that all the premier league sides have backed out.

Any club involved in the the ‘European Super League’, that has been dubbed the billionaire boys club, will have to face consequences.

That was the warning from Football’s ruling authority earlier this week.

Coaches, fans and players protested their outrage for a break-away league.

Manchester City was the first club to cut the cord, less than 48 hours after the super league founders said this would save football.

Like a domino, five other English Premier League teams backed down after UEFA warned they’d be banned from every competition.

It’s hard to imagine the super league can still proceed ahead without any English sides.

Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman resigned from the top job, with calls for the rich owners of the other Premier League Clubs to step down too.

John Henry, the owner of Liverpool FC, took full responsibility and issued an apology to fans, players and Jürgen Klopp.

To say fans were excited their clubs made a back-flip and are boycotting the super league…is an understatement…

The fantasy league is being shattered by those at the heart of English football.

So, no matter how much money is at stake, the clubs are nothing without their supporters.

And despite the disaster, this has united fans together, speaking as one… for the love of football.

SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could raise $25 billion and value the company over $1 trillion, igniting investor excitement for Mars missions.

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
