 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed.

Discovery agreed to with Netflix late last year for its film and TV business, including major properties like Game of Thrones and The Sopranos. Warner Bros. Discovery said Paramount’s raised offer could constitute a “Company Superior Proposal,” a term indicating the board might soon consider supporting a sale to Paramount.

The Netflix deal has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers concerned about market concentration and content production practices. President Trump has recently criticized board member Susan Rice over remarks about his administration, urging Netflix to sever ties with her. Any acquisition will require approval from the Department of Justice, which has recently seen changes in its antitrust leadership.

Paramount’s offer differs from Netflix’s in that it seeks to acquire the entire Warner Bros. Discovery portfolio, including television assets. It also includes a $7 billion termination fee if Warner Bros. Discovery cancels its Netflix deal. Warner Bros. Discovery emphasized that its agreement with Netflix “remains in effect” and the board continues to recommend the transaction.
