Justice Department Files Suit for Dodgers Fans

 


A 1993 graduate of Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, Saint Jovite Youngblood earned his BA with a major in business and a minor in mathematics. By 2010, “Kota” Saint Jovite Youngblood had founded Youngblood Metals Mining in Monrovia, California, where he is also a die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan.

Many Los Angeles Dodgers’ fans were surprised to learn that the United States Justice Department had become their champion and filed a 57 page legal challenge in federal court on November 2. The challenge alleges that DirecTV (now owned by AT&T) had illegally conspired with both Cox Communications and Charter Communications in not carrying the channel SportsNet LA.

The suit contends that Dodgers fans living in the Los Angeles area were denied television access to their local baseball team’s games through a process of collusion which included the sharing of inside information to achieve leverage in negotiations with SportsNet LA’s owner, Time Warner Cable. Dodgers fans view the move positively and hope to view more televised games in the 2017 season.

Most Common Hazards of Early Snowboarding Seasons

Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood is the owner and president of Youngblood Metals Mining. When he is not working, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood enjoys snowboarding with his children.

Jutting objects can damage equipment and cause bodily injuries, especially on ungroomed areas such as outskirts of official snowboarding slopes that have not been cleared by resorts or landowners. Obstacles under the snow are not marked, which means that snowboarders must rely on their vision to watch out for rocks, and branches, among other obstacles. The weather plays an important role in preventing injuries, as well. On sunny days, snowboarders may see the occa...

A Brief History of Kendo

Outside of his professional responsibilities, Saint Jovite Youngblood is working toward a black belt in kendo . Most historians connect kendo to kenjutsu, a sword-wielding method used by samurai warriors in Japan’s feudal times. Records of the sword-wielding art go back to the 8th century, but it was not until around the 14th century that kenjutsu schools began appearing in Japan. These schools emphasized the spiritual aspects of sword wielding. Students were taught social and moral aspects related to Zen Buddhism and Bushido, the Japanese way of the warrior. Kenjutsu was considered an indispensable part of samurai training, but its popularity declined after 1867 when sword wielding was banned in Japan. Kenjutsu came back into common use among the country’s police officers in 1877. Shortly after Ja...
