Sounds like an updated version of the now defunct Weekly World News, which was basically the influence for the Sport.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_World_News The scary thing is though, that people actually believed this shit. And these comprise the majority membership of the NRA and are running around in public carrying assault rifles. Allegedly, but probably not too far from the truth. This Event Chronicle though actually sounds like it takes itself seriously. Or maybe satire has moved on.
