Please add more markets that you think will end up being controversial in some way! This could mean a controversial resolution, some sort of foul play occurring, or just a whole bunch of arguing in the comments section.

I will conduct a poll at the end of the year to determine which of the markets was seen as the most controversial. This should go without saying, but don't try to purposefully stir up controversy in any of these markets!

Just to get ahead of this technicality, if a market closes at the end of 2024 and is resolved shortly after 2025 begins (one week or less) it still counts.
