 | Finance For You |  | (Reuters) | - Disney started off the week with some ~drama~: The company’s board ousted CEO Bob Chapek and put the original Bob (as in Bob Iger, above) back in charge. Even weirder, the board had just decided back in June to extend Chapek’s tenure by three years. Hmmm…
- Airbnb has gotten flack for hosts asking guests to do an absurd amount of cleaning and checkout tasks — in addition to paying steep fees. Its CEO Brian Chesky says the platform is making changes to prevent these issues.
- A little news you may have missed towards the end of last week: Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes was officially sentenced to 11.25 years in prison. She must surrender to custody on April 27, 2023.

 | Sports. Sports. Sports. |  | (Getty) | - It’s time to talk about the World Cup! Let’s start with FIFA president Gianni Infantino getting in hot water for saying that criticism of Qatar is “hypocrisy.” Uh, it didn’t set the best tone for the already-controversial tournament…
- Things only got worse for Qatar after its soccer team was absolutely routed by Ecuador in the opening match. Wheeeewww.
- How’s Team USA holding up? Well, the crew just made Tyler Adams their captain. At 23, Adams is the youngest captain at the tournament and also the first Black man to lead the U.S. team at any World Cup. I’m rootin’ for you, Tyler!

- Ummm, a flock of sheep in Mongolia has walked in a circle for 12 days straight and nobody knows why. They’re really taking the idea of being “sheeple” to a new level.
