According to ESPN, a major factor driving those decisions has been fear that COVID-19 could lead to a rise in myocarditis among athletes. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart caused by vi...

The series, which debuts Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern, may be set in the Jim Crow era, but it's disturbingly topical right now. "The moments in which I was put in the back of a cop car or searched by an officer, I think about friends, I think about my siblings, I think about stories that I’ve heard," Smollett said.
