Colin Kaepernick Is Righter Than You Know

[harlemtothebronx]

I don’t believe he’s really stepping down. Nice attempt at cleaning up your image, Papa Johns, but your pizza’s still trash.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

Damn. White supremacists must not have pizza money like that.

You're Going To Love Cam Newton's Response To Diddy Saying He'd Sign Colin Kaepernick To Compete For The Panthers' QB Spot
The former NFL MVP is in his seventh season as the Panthers' starting quarterback.

https://www.bet.com/news/sports/201...nds-to-diddy-s-comments-about-kaepernick.html

Part of Diddy expressing his desire Sunday night to become the Carolina Panthers' next owner had the rap mogul saying that if he gets the keys to the franchise that he "will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback."

So, what does Cam Newton think about that? After all, the former NFL MVP is in his seventh season as the starting QB for the Panthers and has led the squad to a 10-4 record in playoff contention this year.

Well, when asked about Diddy's plan to own the Panthers and have him and Kaepernick battle it out for the quarterback spot, Newton said, "I'm all for it."

"I'm cool with it," Newton told reporters during a press conference Wednesday, as reported by ESPN. "Whatever happens, happens. They say two things happen in competition, either you get better or you get worse. I'm all for it, whatever."

He added: "As far as a person that I've always looked up to, Puff Daddy, Diddy, whatever you want to call him, for that to even being mentioned, that's cool in itself."

Watch his full comments below.



That being said, Newton also stated, "I still don't even know what to expect" regarding the team's current owner, Jerry Richardson, announcing Sunday night that he'll sell the franchise at the end of the season following a Sports Illustrated report, which claimed he reached settlements with at least four team employees over accusations of work misconduct.

Although Newton said he's "cool" with the idea of competing with Kaepernick for the QB job if Diddy becomes owner, the possibility may never come to fruition even if the Puff winds up purchasing the team.

That's because, shortly after Diddy publicly announced his desire to buy the Panthers and his plan for Kaepernick, the woke free-agent QB tweeted that he wants in on a possible ownership group to purchase the franchise with him.

How do you think this will all pan out?

Wow a 6 year old. Pieces of **** man

Lowest level of life on this planet

Cops around here have been known to shoot into fleeing vechiles. They've been lucky and haven't killed anyone yet.

Only after the fact do they realize children were present. Here, the lady was stationary and they still deemed it neccersary to shoot her up, near other residences.

I fear the next possibility is a crowded arena or mall and cops end up taking out a dozen civilians in fear of what they thought was a gun.

I hope this family makes millions off this huge error. Fire dude and take away his pension. Why don't cops have any sense of consequences?

 

[Fresh Like Will]

That poor kid, man. I wonder if there's still apologists for police who endanger or kill unarmed civilians in this scenario.

NBA Website Changes Palestine Definition After Israeli Minister's Letter
NBA deletes phrase ‘occupied’ after Miri Regev says it is at odds with Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-to-remove-palestine-occupied-jerusalem-trump

Israel’s far-right sports and culture minister has taken credit for the US National Basketball Association’s decision to remove the description “occupied” from its depiction of Palestine on its website, despite the fact that the phrase describes the internationally recognized legal status of the Palestinian territories.

The NBA’s site originally listed “occupied Palestine territories” and at time of writing had deleted the word “occupied” at the instance of two Israeli ministers, one of whom suggested they were in fact part of Israel.

The row over the inclusion of the words in a pop-up menu provided by a third party in an online poll of favourite players is the latest example of the lengths Israeli ministers will go to challenge the accepted legal definition of Palestine’s status.

Q&A
Why is recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital so contentious?

In a letter to the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, the sports minister, Miri Regev, called the Palestinian territories “an imaginary ‘state’” and said the listing was not in line with Donald Trump’s recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“I view the inclusion of ‘Occupied Palestine’ in the list of countries appearing on your official website as legitimizing the division of the State of Israel and as gross and blatant interference, in contrast to the official position of the American administration and the declarations of President Donald Trump, who just recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” wrote Regev.

The NBA’s president of social responsibility, Kathy Behrens, told Israel National News that country listings were provided by a third party. “We do not produce the country listings for NBA.com, and as soon as we became aware of it the site was updated. We apologise for this oversight, and have corrected it,” Behrens said.

Palestinians seek east Jerusalem, captured by Israel from Jordan in the 1967 six-day war, as the capital of their future state. Israel claims the whole city as its capital.

Regev thanked Silver on Friday for removing the words. She said: “Israel’s lands are not occupied; therefore what was written was false and should have been deleted.”

Regev’s position is starkly at odds with mainstream international opinion and that of the UN, which refers to the West Bank and Gaza as occupied.

After Trump’s Jerusalem gambit, the world must recognise a Palestinian state

Both the United Nations security council and the international court of justice regard the West Bank, Gaza and Western Golan Heights as territory that is occupied by Israel under international law.

Israel’s deputy minister of foreign affairs, Tzipi Hotovely, had also called on the NBA to take action. “This week, US ambassador Friedman called for the cessation of the use of the term ‘occupied’ in regard to Judea and Samaria, and an important sports league such as the NBA should respect this view,” said Hotovely.

Hotovely was referring to a reported claim in the Israeli media – sharply disputed by the US state department – that Friedman had called for the dropping of the term “occupied”.

Regev is no stranger to interposing herself in disputes with sporting organisations whose views do not accord with her own. Last month she threatened to pull support for the Giro d’Italia bike race after organisers described a section of the route as going through “west Jerusalem”.
