Brexit Deal Appears to be Falling Apart
British Prime Minister Theresa May had no choice but to delay a Parliament vote on the only Brexit proposal on the table, thus leading political analysts to believe that her government may be in danger of being ousted.
PM May's proposal has thus far proven to be unpopular not only among those who voted against the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, but also among those who actually want Brexit to happen in March of next year.
The European Court of Justice kindly reminded the UK that the country can avoid Brexit altogether if such a move is legal according to British law, but PM May is not sold on the idea of holding a second referendum vote, even if this is what many Members of Parliament are calling for.

Butina is accused of targeting political strategists who worked for the campaign that elected United States President Donald Trump, who received significant financial support from the NRA.

F? Takes On American Football
The Major League Soccer final match between Atlanta United and Portland Timbers is being closely analyzed by sports marketing executives in the United States.
Atlanta won the MLS Cup with a score of 2-0; this was the club's second year in the league, and the achievement was cheered on by more than 73,000 fans who packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium on a cold and rainy afternoon.
It should be noted that this stadium attendance record was higher than the last four Super Bowls, and the broadcast television ratings were 71 percent higher than last season's.
Atlanta's coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino is expected to leave the club and assume the more lucrative job of leading Mexico's National Football Team.

Google Rushes to Close Failed Social Network After Embarrassing Data Leak Issue
The ghost town known as Google+ will shut down four months earlier than anticipated after the search engine giant found a second data leak that may have compromised personal data of more than 50 million users.
This report arrives in the wake of an October announcement about another data leak that transpired over six days, but it is not clear whether malicious third parties were actually able to take advantage of the weakness.
Google+ replaced Google Buzz in 2011; at one point it boasted more than 100 million active users, but its prominence never quite matched Facebook, a social network that is currently dealing with more serious data privacy scandals.
