    Shaun White is starting a season-long halfpipe league that will offer more than $1.5 million in prizes in hopes of pulling together what has long been a spread-out, confusing action-sports calendar. The 37-year-old, three-time Olympic gold medalist, who retired in 2022 after the Beijing Games, is calling the new enterprise The Snow League. The first season will start next March and run past the 2026 Winter Olympics.

    GameStop's fans await shareholder meeting, after high demand derailed first attempt

    GameStop's annual meeting, scheduled for Monday, is creating a growing buzz on social media among the company's host of avid retail investor fans. Shares of the video game retailer have gyrated wildly over the last month after Keith Gill, the stock influencer known as Roaring Kitty who helped kick off meme stock mania in 2021, reappeared and later disclosed a large position in GameStop. Monday’s annual general meeting scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET comes after a planned meeting this week was adjourned due to a technical glitch resulting from high demand from shareholders wanting access to the online feed, according to a spokesperson for Computershare, which is hosting the online-only gathering.
