    More than 100 NFL players and coaches scalped tickets to Super Bowl LIX and got caught
    The NFL's secondary ticket market is a very profitable business, but when folks are simply scalping tickets, well, the NFL and its teams don't love that. And they definitely don't love it when players and club employees do it for a Super Bowl.But that is apparently what happened at Super Bowl LIX, played on Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAnd the league, which frowns on this, caught the scalpers.The NFL can track the tickets to its games and has the digital capability to confirm if the people who purchased a Super Bowl ticket actually used it.So the NFL is fining approximately 100 players 100! and two dozen club employees for violating league policy of selling Super Bowl LIX tickets above face value, a league source told OutKick on Friday. The story was first reported by the Associated Press.The NFL isn't done. There is an ongoing investigation into the matter.The actual amount of the fines will vary. Players who resold their tickets will have to pay 150 percent of the face value of the ticket they originally bought. Those players will also forfeit their privilege of buying tickets to future Super Bowls unless they're actually playing in the game.BRANDON AIYUK'S WIFE GIVES INTEL ON WHY NFL WAGS ARE 'IN A PANIC' DURING TRAINING CAMPClub employees who were caught scalping will be fined 200 percent of the face value of the tickets they purchased.No names of the players or other employees already caught are known. What is known is that coaches were involved as well as players.The players and coaches apparently sold their tickets to so-called "bundlers" who were working on behalf of a ticket reseller, who then marked up the price of the tickets a second time.This isn't the first time this has happened, although the scale this year is quite something.Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice admitted to scalping part of his allotment of Super Bowl tickets in 2005. Tice was eventually fined $100,000 by the NFL.Super Bowl LIX tickets were averaging around $4,708 on the secondary market the week of the game, according to various reports. The cheapest tickets started around $2,668 on TickPick, while the most expensive seats, particularly those close to the field and sidelines, exceeded $10,000.Some seating for the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles climbed to prices as high as $50,000.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Washington Post obituary section on life support as writers take buyouts: report
    The Washington Post continues to lose staff, as all but one of its obituary reporters have accepted the media outlets buyout offer and left the company, according to a new report.Politico Magazine senior editor Michael Schaffer detailed how the papers obit desk has been decimated by The Washington Posts new buyouts or "Voluntary Separation Program" (VSP)."Ive learned that all but one person on the obit desk has taken the organizations buyout offer, which aims to shed staff by the end of July. The lone holdout is too junior to qualify for the buyout deal," he wrote.WASHINGTON POST CEO URGES STAFFERS WHO DON'T FEEL ALIGNED WITH PAPER'S NEW DIRECTION TO TAKE BUYOUTAdam Bernstein, the papers longtime obit chief, was one of the latest Post staffers to accept the buyout. The journalist announced Tuesday that he would be joining The New York Times as deputy editor of its Obituaries Desk.Schaffer lamented the exit of Bernstein and other obit writers, stating, "If you care about warts-and-all journalism, the change is a big deal. Unlike beat reporters, full-time obituary writers dont have to worry about whether including unsavory details about the dearly departed will offend the grieving sources they still need to cultivate. Getting rid of them is a recipe for toothless pieces that pull punches about deceased power players."The Washington Post announced in May that it was rolling out its VSP program to its veteran employees, offering them an option to leave the company in exchange for months of base pay from the company following their departure.In a staff memo obtained by Fox News Digital at the time, Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray told staff, "Today, we are announcing that The Washington Post is offering a Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) to news employees with 10 or more years service at The Post, as well as to all members of the video department and to all members of the copy desk and sports copy desk."LONGTIME WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST QUITS PAPER, SLAMS GROWING EDITORIAL CONSTRAINTS UNDER BEZOSAccording to a VSP document viewed by Fox News Digital, nine months of base pay would be given to staffers employed for 10-15 years, 12 months of base pay for 15-20 years, 15 months of base pay for 20-25 years and 18 months for anyone who has worked at the Post for more than 25 years.One anonymous Post staffer told Schaffer that the buyouts have caused an "absolute exodus" at the company. The reporter noted some of the recent big name departures, including "longtime political reporter Dan Balz, veteran columnist David von Drehle, and dozens of others."Additionally, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC show host Jonathan Capehart reportedly accepted a buyout earlier this month and is leaving the Jeff Bezos-owned paper after nearly two decades.Many Post staffers have quit the paper in recent months, some spurred on by their concerns over the Washington Posts editorial slant taking a rightward shift following President Donald Trumps re-election.In February, Bezos announced that the editorial section of the paper would be changing course, prompting then-opinion editor David Shipley to leave.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBezos changes led to a sharp backlash in his newsroom, with staffers telling Fox News Digital earlier this month that morale has collapsed at the paper.People at the outlet "have no idea how or if theyll replace the expertise, another longtime Postie said. (People I spoke to at the Post asked to remain anonymous to talk about what remains a wrenching and uncertain experience for the organization.)," Schaffer added.A Washington Post spokesperson declined to give comment to Fox News Digital on "personnel matters" but stated the paper "will continue to have staff-written obituaries."

    California wildfire victims left wondering where $100M went following FireAid benefit concert
    The star-studded benefit concert that raised more than $100 million dollars for wildfire victims in California is itself under fire for how the money was spent."I have not seen any benefit from the FireAid money, and I am very involved here and neither have my neighbors," said David Howard, who lost two homes in Pacific Palisades.FireAid billed itself as "a benefit concert for wildfire victims." Aside from music by the likes of Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry and Olivia Rodrigo, the five-hour show featured multiple stories from victims of the Altadena and Palisades fire who'd lost their homes.FOX CORPORATION RELIEF CAMPAIGN RAISES $6.5 MILLION TO AID TEXAS COMMUNITIES HIT BY DEVASTATING FLOODS"My house is gone," Altadena fire victim Mark Jones told the audience. Six months later, Jones told Fox 11 in Los Angeles he expected someone to reach out and provide help, but that didn't happen. Did Jones believe he would receive money? "I did, and I am sure with most Altadenians. The fire aid was for us. So, we figured where is the money? Where is it going?"Fox News asked that question Wednesday of FireAid and the Annenberg Foundation, which helped put the concert together.We have yet to receive a response, but officials acknowledged receiving our inquiry.The FireAid website says the concert raised an estimated $100 million designated for "direct relief".During the concert, host and actor Miles Teller told viewers "all the money raised will go directly to people who need it now and long-term efforts to build it back."CELEBRITIES, CORPORATIONS OPEN WALLETS AFTER DEADLY FLOOD IN TEXAS HILL COUNTRYThat was echoed by host and actor Samuel L. Jackson, who said, "Go to the website and give what you can. All the money will go directly to people who need help in the short term and the long-term effort to get this city back on its feet."But last week, in a statement to the Fox affiliate in Los Angeles, the charity said, "FireAid does not have the capability to make direct payments to individuals and that was never the plan. We partnered directly with trusted local non-profits...to reach communities in need."Fox News contacted more than 70 of those non-profits. Some replied. Others declined. Some are well known like the Boys and Girls Club, YWCA and Meals on Wheels.Others are more obscure or promised to help specific ethnic groups or artists.One that promoted "self-determination in the Latino community" vowed to use their FireAid grant to create "a more humane and democratic society by responding to the needs and problems of disenfranchised people."Another claimed to use natural helpers or 'promotores' to "cultivate egalitarian relationships based on trust and respect."LOS ANGELES POLICE HOPE TO REUNITE FIREARM OWNERS WITH GUNS AFTER DEVASTATING PALISADES FIREAt least $6.5 million in donor money also went to the County of Los Angeles.All told, FireAid says it has granted $75 million so far to 188 non-profits. The remaining $25 million should go out in August and will focus on "long-term wildfire mitigation, environmental resilience, and sustainable rebuilding," according to the group.The LA Times this week published an extensive piece on FireAid funding, contacting100 non-profits receiving aid. It said the money provided a lifeline to many groups, allowing them to provide food, shelter, mental health services and animal care.So who exactly who is responsible for how the money is spent? That's not entirely clear. The Annenberg Foundation helped organize the concert but claims only an advisory role in how the money is spent.An Annenberg spokesperson says spending decisions are made by the FireAid Advisory Committee made up of respected philanthropists. They make recommendations to the FireAid Board of Trustees. It includes several executives from the LA Clipper basketball team, a businessman and wife of a prominent media executive.While there is no evidence of fraud, California Congressman Kevin Kiley wants U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate "where these donations went and who benefited."We asked fire victim David Howard if the thought that was necessary."100%," he said. "No question. We need to get to the bottom of where the money is going. A lot of money is going to non-profits in a lot of different areas and it's not going to where it needs to."

    Trump admin cracks down on Oregon and Virginia for defying Title IX and women's sports executive order
    The U.S. Department of Education ramped up its campaign against schools defying Title IX and President Donald Trump's executive order on Friday.Secretary Linda McMahon announced actions against the states of Oregon and Virginia for their policies on gender ideology.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn Oregon, McMahon is launching an investigation against the state's Department of Education (ODE) after a high school sports season that featured multiple incidents involving trans athletes in girls' sports that garnered public attention, and two lawsuits over the matter."If Oregon is permitting males to compete in womens sports, it is allowing these males to steal the accolades and opportunities that female competitors have rightfully earned through hard work and grit, while callously disregarding womens and girls safety, dignity, and privacy. Title IX does not permit that shameful arrangement, and we will not tolerate it," said Craig Trainor, the acting assistant secretary for the DOE's office of civil rights (OCR).On Thursday, Oregon girls' track athletes Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard filed a lawsuit against the Oregon School Athletics Association (OSAA) after an incident at the state's track and field championships on the last day of May. Anderson and Eckard alleged that the OSAA not only excluded them from official photos, but also withheld their medals. The suit argues that the girls' First Amendment rights were infringed upon by the officials.Earlier in July, two other female students, Maddie Eischen and Sophia Carpenter, filed a lawsuit against the ODE and OSAA for its policies that allow males to compete in girls' sports after an incident where they withdrew themselves from a track meet in April, because a male was set to compete against them.TRACKING THE TRANS ATHLETE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS CONTROVERSIES SHAKING THE NATION OVER THE LAST YEARBoth Carpenter and Eischen previously told Fox News Digital the experience was "traumatic.""My experience at the Chehalem track meet and scratching myself from the meet was traumatic, something I never imagined ever having to do," Eischen said.Carpenter added, "It was emotionally traumatic trying to know what I should do and how I should respond to competing with [the trans athlete]."The U.S. DOE investigation directly cites the lawsuits and the firm representing the athletes, the America First Policy Institute.Fox News Digital has reached out to the ODE for a response.Meanwhile, Friday also saw the DOE OCR announce an update on its investigation against five school districts in Virginia for "allegations of discrimination on the basis of sex."The OCR concluded its investigation and determined that the five school districts had violated Title IX. The investigation was based on complaints alleging that the Divisions have similar anti-discrimination policies pertaining to "transgender-identifying" students, which violate the sex-based protections of Title IX."Although this type of behavior was tolerated by the previous Administration, its time for Northern Virginias experiment with radical gender ideology and unlawful discrimination to come to an end. OCRs investigation definitively shows that these five Virginia school districts have been trampling on the rights of students in the service of an extreme political ideology," Trainor said."The Trump Administration will not sacrifice the safety, dignity, and innocence of Americas young women and girls at the altar of an anti-scientific illiberalism."The five school districts now have 10 days to come to a voluntary agreement with the Trump administration or risk a referral to the U.S. Department of Justice.The DOJ has already launched lawsuits against officials in Maine and California for those states' policies that allow trans athletes in girls' and women's sports.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Influential lawmaker demands 'old guard must go,' calls for 'rebirth' of Democratic Party
    Rep. Ro Khanna sounded off on the Democratic Party establishment in his address to the Voters of Tomorrow Summit for young progressives in Washington, D.C."How can we trust government to do big things when government has been corrupted? My friends, for those who want a progressive future, for those who want a government that works to build security and opportunity for the working class, we must get rid of the big money in politics," Khanna said in his address on Friday afternoon. The California Democrat then mentioned the Jeffrey Epstein files, which have become a major point of debate in Washington as some demand more information about the case.PELOSI CONFIDENT ABOUT DEMS' CHANCES TO WIN HOUSE, PREDICTS JEFFRIES WILL BE SPEAKER"We must restore a government for the people, by the people, of the people. The release of the Epstein files is not a magic cure for trust, but it is a first step. It's a first step to say we will have a new era of transparency," he continued.Khanna then bluntly called out his partys establishment in his closing call to action."I'll end with this clear point: The old guard needs to go. The old ways have not been working. This party needs a new rebirth. This party needs a rebirth to stand for human rights," he said. "This party needs a rebirth to stand for the working class. This party needs a rebirth to stand for people over the donor class."Former Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to give virtual remarks at the summit on Friday, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was also a major speaker at the event."We have no doubt that we will win the election with the House of Representatives," Pelosi said during her speech. "No doubt."IM ONE OF THE VOTERS DEMOCRATS NEED TO WIN. 2028 IS THEIR ONLY CHANCE TO REGAIN OUR TRUST"It's important to be strong in the year in advance, because that's when the troops line up. We have our messaging, we have our mobilization, we need the money to do it, but they go only next to a school to hold up the most important part: the candidate," she continued.Younger Democrats, like freshman Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari and Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, took part in panels at the summit.Khannas address comes as the Democratic Party is striving to navigate the second Trump administration and adapt to the major shifts that occurred across voter demographics in the 2024 election, including among Generation Z. The 2026 election is being seen as an opportunity to get more information about Gen Z voters, as many voted for the first time in 2022 and 2024.Some in the party have encouraged a more moderate direction, while others have echoed Khannas populist sentiment.TRUMP SUPPORTERS FIND UNLIKELY COMMON GROUND WITH BLUE STATE CONGRESSMAN AT TOWN HALL: 'I LOVE IT'"This party needs a rebirth to find our courage in standing up for immigrant rights instead of running away when people talk about immigration. This party needs more people like you in Congress than the current people we have in Congress," Khanna added."I'm here to say that a new Democratic Party, a reborn Democratic Party, a populist Democratic Party, a multiracial Democratic Party, a Democratic Party that centers the working and middle class, a Democratic Party that looks like the future is a Democratic Party that can lead us back to victory and lead us to a better America. It's time to take back our party and then to take back our country," he continued.
