Michelle Beadle Calls ‘Bullsh!t’ On The NFL Regarding Its Pending National Anthem Policy (Video)
“You don’t care.”
Yep, the co-host on ‘Get Up’ got it right – straight shooting on the NFL’s issue-dodging stance on kneeling during the National Anthem. ‘Nuff said by me. I’ll let her speak on it #EffTheNFL #StillStandingWithKaep #TakeAKnee

Sports/Politics: NFL Set To Penalize Players Who ‘Take A Knee’
New NFL policy will require players on the field for the anthem to show the anthem and flag “appropriate respectâ€. Teams, not players, can be fined for not adhering. Will allow players to stay in locker room for the anthem, teams to set their own rules under conduct detrimental.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 23, 2018
Well, would you look at that? Not even claiming to be all that surprised or shocked that the NFL and owners found a way to appease the majority (White apathetic/unsympathetic Americans) AND get all those who #TakeAKnee with Kaep off the field.
So they have found a way to eliminate a peaceful, yet impactful, protest method (wow). What’s more, it looks like they have cleared the way for teams to ‘deal with’ players who choose not to stand during the National Anthem and presentation. To be clear: The option to stay/observe in the locker is a cop-out in the weakest way. It’s an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attempt, plain and simple.
But this is NOT out of our minds. We can watch and be mindful of who is NOT on the field during the anthem and presentation of the flag (e.g. those who are still protesting unjust treatment of Black people by the authorities). And what about the core issue; the motivation that drove Colin Kaepernick to take a stand by taking a knee? Wonder if the NFL will call a special meeting, assemble a subcommittee, etc. to enact new policy that speaks to or acts against law enforcement’s abuses of power, brutality, and murder?
I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Sports: Is Bill Preston Good Enough To Go From NCAA To NBA Basketball? We Will Never Know (Video)
I feel like, if I was still playing in college, I’d be much more successful.
Damn. Talk about a cultural upheaval. They didn’t like the way his transportation situation looked and the NCAA took Preston away from college basketball… and possibly his ticket to success in life for him and his family??? Wow.
Billy Preston should be playing with Kansas in the NCAA tourney right now. Instead, his career is in limbo because of an NCAA investigation that was never completed.

VICE trekked to Al-Dahna for the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival—the largest of its kind—where titans of business and politics in the Middle East flock each year for a display of the finest camels in Saudi Arabia. Hundreds of participants pit their camels head-to-head in a frenzied race and beauty contest for a chance to win roughly $57 million in prize money, and a chance to meet Saudi Arabia’s king and crown prince.
