Today's UPDATES

I think I would like to talk less about sports today because there's no need for it right now. All I will say in today's Max Sports rundown is these two topics, the 2018 Mae Young Classic kicks off in one week's time on the WWE Network. But before that, coming up this week is really special, for there will be a Bracketology Special on the network showcasing all the strong, fast, and beautiful women who will hit the ring for the change win the entire 32-field tournament. The second topic is that the fastest tapings for WWE's newest brand, NXT UK, were shot this past weekend and were held to crown the first ever WWE United Kingdom Women's Champion, now I don't think I should reveal who it is at the moment for that would lead to spoilers. I haven't even reported anything else on the Mae Young Classic because tapings for that happened a long time ago, and have not aired at their exact date yet, for once again I am trying to avoid spoilers. I can you all that next week will be a lot of sports topics on this blog with the MLB season entering the final month of the season before the postseason begins in October and the NFL kickoffs it's new season next week, so keep it here.

Why Oh Why won't the killing stop? This following #TwitterTrend is not for the faint of heart, yesterday, another mass shooting took place in the state of Florida, and this time at a Madden Championship Series video game tournament that was taking place in Jacksonville. It started at 12:30PM yesterday afternoon at the Jacksonville Landing marketplace in which the tourament was being held, and what seemed to be a normal day playing football-related video games turned into an ugly ugly scene at The Landing.The shooting was committed by David Katz, a 24-year-old professional gamer from Baltimore who had been attending the Jacksonville tournament as a participant and had previously won $10,000 in a 2017 Madden Tournament. The story of the entire incident is as crazy as you would think, the tournament hosted by the GLHF [Good Luck Have Fun] Game Bar at The Landing marketplace; after he had lost a game, Katz refused to to shake the hand of the person who beat him and left the venue, When he came back, he fired twelve shots with just a handgun, he killed two people, wounded 11 others, and then took it upon himself to commit suicide. The two victims were Elijah Clayton and Taylor Robertson, the former of the two great professional gamers made a last-minute decision to attend the Jacksonville tournament. When I'm reading this, I'm think to myself: It wasn't like this person was thinking to himself, "If I don't winning this game, why I'll shoot everybody in here!"  that;s the first thing to have come from mind when I learn more about this story. Something snapped inside David Katz, and not his brain, but his heart, full of rage and darkness that he did not know what to do with it until he pulled out a gun on the innocent. On a positive note, the March For Our Lives tour came on quick to response to this tragedy shared their deepest regrets to the victims at The Landing,  BBC news coverage compared  the shooting to the many others in Florida, including last February's Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016. So I ask again: Why Oh Why won't the killing stop? If only people in congress won't get off their ignorant butts and put a stop to the gun chaos once and for all, these shooting are going to have a major effect on the 2018 Midterm elections coming up in November and gubernatorial primary elections will held tomorrow in Florida, which means this could be Floridians' chance to make their voices heard and vote the people who will not take action, out of office for good. Now let's see what people have been saying on Twitter regarding the incident.

EA SPORTS @EASPORTS

We are aware of an incident at a sanctioned Madden Championship Series competition in Jacksonville. We are working with authorities to gather facts at this stage. This is a horrible situation, and our deepest sympathies go out to all involved.

Drini Gjoka @YoungDrini

The tourney just got shot up. Im leavinng and never coming back

Yarno Ritzen @YarnoRitzen

One of the players at the Jacksonville Madden tournament where apparently a shooting just happened.

Drini Gjoka @YoungDrini

I am literally so lucky. The bullet hit my thumb

Noble SteveyJ @ImSteveyJ

I got out. Police escorted me. I’m done going to any Madden events not EA Majors with security.

Jason Lake @JasonBWLake

Today someone decided to shoot up a Madden event in Jacksonville.

It’s time esports events (large and small) double down on security for everyone in general and players specifically.

Nate @masquitoboi

Why are people telling others to take down the vid of the Jacksonville shooting? Don’t hide the problem, people need to see this stuff to understand that it can and will happen to anyone at any given time and we need to do something about it. #JacksonvilleLanding

BakedPyro @BakedPyro

#MaddenTournament has me shook. Nobody deserved to die or get hurt. They were there doing what they loved, gaming with friends, and you could hear the terror in the background. I pray nothing like that happens again. Keeping all affected in my thoughts. #JacksonvilleLanding

Clint Watts @selectedwisdom

#jacksonvillelanding shooting: the twitch live recording of today’s shooting is extremely disturbing. Why Americans have allowed mass shootings to become the norm is one of the more baffling moments in our history. Why do we tolerate this?

Brandon Morse @TheBrandonMorse

Going to try to avoid Twitter for the rest of the day. It’s hard to listen to the audio of the #JacksonvilleLanding shooting, then watch politicians and activists immediately try to turn them into props for their respective agendas.

Ash Hotchkiss @JustAHotchchick

Rick Scott has now overseen Pulse, Parkland, and Jacksonville mass shootings and wants to be our bought and sold NRA blood money senator? I think not. #JacksonvilleLanding


To cap off this post, we have mini Web Choice playlist which shows footage of the exact moment that gunman opened fire, Twitch had livestreamed the event and recorded footage of the shooting, which was later uploaded to YouTube. WARNING: The audio is very graphic and is certainly not for the faint of heart because when you hear this, you are going to be stunned and in disbelief. There has been no clear motive to the gunman's actions, however the pain the victims felt was very real yesterday, and I would tell, not ask, Congress to get their sh*t together and stop this "BS" because I sick of explaining it as well as everyone else. With the midterm elections now a few months, this will only motivate people not to give "Thoughts and Prayers" but "Register & Vote" this fall, as Florida, a swing state between the GOP and Democrats,  along with its several shootings will be one of the main subjects for these elections.
