Given the sharply divergent framings of LA's unrest—accountability vs. overreach, spending vs. results—where do you think the coverage gets it right or wrong?

NFL Eliminates Pro Bowl Game, Honors 88 Players

The NFL is ending the Pro Bowl, replacing the game with an 88-player honorary designation and an in-person celebration in Los Angeles, after years of waning interest and a prior shift from tackle to flag football. The move emphasizes honoring the season’s best players without a competitive all-star game, with no alternates recognized in the future.

Notable quotes

“Not so long ago, I examined some maps showing juvenile delinquency, diptheria, tuberculosis and murder quotients in a number of cities from New Orleans to Los Angeles. The maps all looked alike. Disease, crime and delinquency were invariably grouped in the same parts of the cities — in the slum districts. That is the cause of crime, not the motion picture.”
— Humphrey Bogart, “Censorship: Jimmy Walker Never Heard of a Book Seducing a Dame but Bluenoses are Still on the Trail of our Films”, Hollywood Reporter, (Oct 1941); republished in “When Humphrey Bogart Tackled Movie Censorship in 1941”, Hollywood Reporter, (2/27/2018).
“I used to love to call L.A. when I lived in New York. "What're y'all doin'? Talkin' to TV producers, huh? Bummer. Me? I'm readin' a book! Yeah, we're thinkin' back East! Yeah, we're evolving. Is that "The Big One" I hear in the background? Bye, you lizard scum, bye!"”
— Bill Hicks, "Goodbye, Lizard Scum" Arizona Bay
“Then, she take it all in. Best kush filling my joints. Say, I sound too L.A.? That's the point!”
— Jason Martin, "Say That Then" (June 2013), Understand Me (December 2013)
“They call it the City of Angels. Funny. In my 30 years here, I haven't seen a single one. My old friend Henry Wilson used to say, people dare to dream here. He liked that about L.A. I'd say, bull, dreaming will get you killed. Maybe I was right.”
— True Crime: Streets of LA (November 2003), written by Peter Morawiec and Micah Linton, Activision
“I live in the Mexican part of L.A.; it's called L.A.”
— Bobby Slayton,
“Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.”
