50% Off Sling
For a limited time only, new subscribers can get half off Sling's most popular plans, Sling Blue and Sling Orange, by just paying $20 for the first month. Sling TV already has some of the best prices in streaming, but by slashing 50% off its $40 plans, it's become even more accessible to everyday cord-cutters.
If you're on the fence about which plan to choose, know that Sling Blue has more unique channels, most of them geared toward news and entertainment, like MSNBC and National Geographic, while Sling Orange has the coveted ESPN and Disney channels, which makes it perfect for sports lovers and family-oriented viewers. Of course, you can also bundle them and get all 46 channels for a discounted price. Instead of the usual $55/month, the Sling Orange + Blue plan costs only $27.50 on the first month under this deal. So far, Sling hasn't announced when the deal expires, but it's best to try it now before it goes.

TLDR
If you told me this documentary was sponsored by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, I’d believe you.
What it's about
The take
If you’re expecting a story about sportsmanship, athleticism, camaraderie, and community, you won’t get a lot of that in We Are Newcastle United, a docuseries that is more interested in business than in football. It begins with the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s takeover of the club, reportedly the most expensive purchase in the football world, and firmly stays in that angle throughout the series. Never mind that Newcastle United has a formidable set of players, a loyal community of fans, and one of the most inspiring underdog journeys in football history—the documentary only touches on those rich topics. Instead, its main focus is the PIF and the technical details of their ownership. How much did they spend to secure the top players? What does the Saudi state hope to gain out of this acquisition? Is Newcastle United complicit in Saudi Arabia’s alleged breach of human rights? We Are Newcastle United has some insightful takes, but for the filmmakers to bill it as a sports feature feels like false advertising. Like the club’s owners, they put financials first before football, not the other way around.
What stands out
The best moments in the series are those that hone in on the game itself, those that focus on the final moments of a neck-to-neck match to deliver either a glorious goal or a devastating loss. It’s during these times you get a glimpse of what the docuseries could be: a celebration of the sport itself and how interlocked it is to communal pride. One unfortunate effect of emphasizing the wealth of Newcastle United is that their success gets chalked up to money, to their purchasing power, instead of commitment, hard work, and the boost they get from fans. At one point, co-owner Amanda Staveley says that for every win, “the fans are the most important thing.” I find that hard to believe. After all the trouble Staveley went through to purchase the team, it’s clear that a return on investment is what really matters most.
