Kaepernick has not started an NFL game, or appeared on any roster, since the 2016 season. It was during preseason of 2016 when Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said in a post-game press conference in 2016. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way....

Kyle Honore, a freshman at Wingate, was hit by a train at the North Camden Street train crossing near the university entrance around 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wingate Police Department told Newsweek that officers, fire and EMS personnel “located a young male that had been struck by an eastbound train.” “The young man succumbed to his injuries while being transported to the hospital,” police said. According to Queen City News, authorities said that the train was not at the scene when they arrived, and the train operator was unaware that anyone had been hit....

“Gunner is taking care of personal problems,” Bearcats coach Tommy Tuberville told Cincinnati.com. “He’s asked if we can kind of recognize his privacy. He’s not off the team. He’ll be back, but I don’t know when. That’s pretty much all I can say about it.” MORE: Complete bowl schedule | One reason to watch every bowl game Kiel transferred from Notre Dame to Cincinnati.

But the Bearcats and Muskateers are returning to campus sites next season, The Enquirer reported. The two teams played at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati the past two seasons after a brawl gave the series a black eye in 2011. The two split the two neutral court games — Cincinnati holds a 49-32 all-time edge — but in 2014-15, the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout will be played Feb. 18 at Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena....

The 55-year-old headed back to the Halfway House Café, in Santa Clarita, California, in a revamped version of the Super Bowl ad. In the original, it sees the Vogue star pull up to the gas station in a red Lamborghini and chug down on a can of soda, as two boys watch agog from a nearby field. The look instantly became a classic, with her bouffant hair, silver hoop earrings, white tank top and daisy duke shorts spawning numerous recreations, and even Halloween outfits....

Mkhi underlines importance to Man Utd The Premier League heavyweights were due to contest the first overseas Manchester derby in Beijing last summer, only for bad weather to render the pitch at the Bird’s Nest Stadium unplayable. But there is a likelihood that the two sides will meet in the International Champions Cup ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, with senior officials ironing out the details in recent weeks. An agreement is yet to be reached but it is understood there is a willingness on both sides to find time in their respective schedules....

The victory is City’s biggest in a top-flight match – a fitting landmark to reach on the weekend the club marked their 125th anniversary. But huge winning margins have become something approaching the norm in the Pep Guardiola era, with this latest rout the 11th time in all competitions since the start of the 2017-18 campaign City have scored six or more in a match. Six of those have come in 2019 alone....

It makes sense then that the first few production choices in a Civ 6 starting build order are some of the most crucial of all. Neglecting an aspect of strategy early on, failing to leverage a strength or offset a weakness, can leave a civilization falling further and further behind as the game progresses. Unfortunately, there is no single recommended build order at the start of a Civilization 6 game, so instead here’s our guide on how to read the situation and adapt to it....

Just like getting a religious victory in Civ 6, the key to spreading the true faith across the world lies in Faith generation and religious units. If there’s one civilization that excels in both these areas, drawing huge faith and creating early, effective religious units, then it’s Peter the Great’s Russia. RELATED: Civilization 6: How to Take Over a City All about the Lavra Russia’s religious strength revolves around its unique District, the Lavra....

But, crucially, so has Ukrainian disinformation and Ukrainian propaganda. Amidst Putin’s reckless revanchism, Ukraine’s defiant president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has seized the opportunity to play a naturally sympathetic Western audience like a fiddle. How else to characterize the Ukrainian government’s opportunistic analogizing of Russia’s damaging of the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial with the actual World War II-era genocide committed at Babi Yar—a genocide committed by German Nazis, that is, with no shortage of complicity from all-too-eager local Ukrainians?...

Australia batsman Cameron Bancroft was charged with “attempting to change the condition of the ball” after the team’s leadership group devised a plan to try to gain an advantage on day three of the Cape Town Test. Former captain Clarke slammed the team for their actions, although the 36-year-old was unwilling to comment on whether Steve Smith should step down as skipper, saying he was too emotional. “It’s premeditated cheating, it’s blatant cheating, it’s disgraceful, it’s not accepted by anyone and particularly an Australian,” he said on Channel Nine....

The issue refers to a frustrating problem with controller joysticks and in-game movement. At worst, controller drift causes character or menu motion even when the player is not interacting with the joystick. This is extremely noticeable and in many cases can make playing various games near impossible. The complexity of these devices has led to prominent examples of drift recently, like the Nintendo Joy-Cons lawsuits. RELATED: PS5 DualSense Controller May Be Getting Back Button Attachment...

Platforms that will be supported at launch include the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via the Steam storefront.

Azarenka, playing her first grand slam since giving birth, had plenty of chances in the early stages of the opening set having broken twice. Halep fought back on each occasion, though, and her level continued to increase as she ultimately coasted to a 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 victory, aided by numerous unforced errors from a frustrated Azarenka, on Court Two. The Romanian faces Great Britain’s Johanna Konta (6) in the last eight and will secure the number-one ranking by beating the home-crowd favourite....

El Confidencial, a Madrid publication, is reporting that Nancufil could be in Spain as early as the new year. The eight year old is an Argentine kid who is honing his craft in Bariloche, a ski resort that lies nearly 1650 km southwest of Buenos Aires. Nancufil has an eerie resemblance to Messi and has caught the attention of European agents through his skillful sorcery, weaving the football in knots around his incredibly nimble feet....

On Monday morning, singer Clay Aiken announced his intention to run for North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District, which has been newly redrawn, on Twitter because, as the singer put it, “We need powerful voices more than ever, so I’m running for Congress.” Following his announcement, former The View host and daughter of the late Senator John McCain, Meghan McCain, showed her support saying, “Congratulations on your campaign launch @clayaiken! We love you!...

This time the commanding general in Iraq, David Petraeus, holds center stage, and what he says and how he says it could reset the course of the war along with the remainder of the Bush presidency. This is White House counselor Edward Gillespie’s first big test since he was brought into the inner circle last month. This is his show, and he’s better positioned than the Texas loyalists he’s replacing to pull off a win in the time-honored tradition of the Washington Fixer....
