D.L. Hughley versus Shaq's FBI appearance, as Rick Strom tells it

Fifteen uploads went up, ranging from an Ireland–Israel Nations League match to a heckler at the Presidents Cup and Michele Tafoya's Senate run.

Thirteen hours after it went up, Rick Strom's video on Shaquille O'Neal had nearly 200,000 views, by far the quickest start of the week on TYT Sports. The subject is an appearance by the Hall of Famer that the description casts as a favor to Kash Patel's FBI, along with the criticism that followed. Comedian D.L. Hughley is named as one of the loudest voices against it.

It was one of fifteen uploads, and several of them lived up to the channel's billing as a place where sports and politics meet. Ireland's Nations League match against Israel, with black armbands and a refused handshake between captains Dara O'Shea and Manor Solomon, drew a big audience early in the week. So did a heckler who used Donald Trump's visit to the Presidents Cup to say exactly what he thought.

Two more day-old videos were moving briskly behind Shaq. One looks at Michele Tafoya, the former NFL sideline reporter running for the Senate in Minnesota, and her old remarks about the state. The other follows a British right-wing figure's rough reception on the street in Liverpool.

Across the whole channel, daily views ran a little above usual. Among the political commentary channels near its size, Don Lemon is having the biggest jump, while Stephen A. Smith's channel is well below its normal pace.
