The startup Decide Technologies (formerly LockerDome), that had a lot of shine in the St. Louis region, has been funding and profiting off the alt-right. Disgusting.
That giant deal the Cardinals made with Bally’s (then Fox Sports Midwest) does not look so good with another selloff attempt and fears of bankruptcy. Not good for the Blues either.
