News and notes from around the interweb:
- In a $125 million deal, Capital One has partnered with Major League Baseball and since there’s going to be a season this year, that’s awesome. I grew up an absolute baseball fanatic, but the strikes of the 90s wore on me. The new Capital One Entertainment could make it easy to become one again.
[C]redit and debit cardholders can look forward to accessing …exclusive tickets to special events such as All-Star Week (including Capital One PLAY BALL PARK), the MLB Postseason and the World Series presented by Capital One

Hey @British_Airways, just wondering if you’d be happy serving this to your customers?…and why have you removed bread rolls and the cheese from the inflight meal services. Your food on my flights were the worst I’ve ever experienced. Please show this picture to your CEO. pic.twitter.com/Pat1eR2KRT

- Breakfast is the only thing I can bring myself to eat at McDonald’s, so one of the worst Covid Cuts – to me – is that McDonalds no longer serves breakfast all day.

- Stop the insanity! The usefulness of a mask mandate aside, Europe is far more civilized requiring it at age 5 (or older, depending on country). If this baby had covid, forcing it to cry is going to emit more virus in any case.
@AmericanAir Animals!!!!! They way that try enforce to my granddaughter of 2 years old to use mask. If not we can’t return to USA. pic.twitter.com/4MDxF7IPdG

I’m sure some will make use of this feature. However, it’s useless for me. I’ve written off all major league sports like MLB, NBA and NFL I don’t waste my time with these clowns anymore.
I take it the MLB tickets will also be 0.8 cpp?
Baseball! Cool!
When did McD stop all day breakfast? That was a huge profit driver when it was resuscitated.
Hopefully they run it past 10:30am. That’s too early for a greasy hamburger
My home town team already scalps their own tickets
