Fire, Kaepernick: Reports from Indianapolis this week focused on ongoing conversations between the team and its quarterback, who enters the final year of his original contract.

That will change with stories like this one: Kaepernick refused to vote in the 2016 election.

“I don’t know why he does this,” Powell, a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army, said Thursday during an interview with MSNBC. “Doesn’t he have more important things to do? I mean, why is he fooling around with NASCAR and a flag?” Powell’s remark referenced a tweet from Trump that criticized NASCAR, suggesting inaccurately that its decision to ban the Confederate flag had “caused lowest ratings EVER!” In reality, as The New York Times reported, NASCAR’s Sunday broadcast of the Brickyard 400 was viewed by about 40 percent more people than the average NASCAR race aired in 2019....

Powell, a retired four-star general who served as Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005 under George W. Bush, had been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. In a statement announcing his death, his family called him a “remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American,” and thanked medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center, where he was being treated. Before embarking on an influential career in politics, the New Yorker was a soldier for more than 30 years....

In what is commonly known as the college admission scandal, more than 36 parents were arrested for paying large sums of money to ensure their child’s admission to college through fraudulent test scores and athletic records. Twenty pleaded guilty or intend to do so—13 of whom have already been sentenced—and more than 10 parents are gearing up for a trial, possibly in 2020.

Jennifer Abruzzo, the general counsel for the NLRB, announced the development through a memorandum sent to all of the NLRB field offices and through a subsequent press release posted on the board’s website. Abruzzo’s stance on the issue was supported by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that acknowledged college sports as “a profit-making enterprise,” according to the NLRB’s release. Efforts student-athletes have made to advocate for themselves amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and through pushes for an end to systemic racism have also served to support Abruzzo’s position, according to the NLRB....

There is no Zion Williamson or Marvin Bagley or Andrew Wiggins entering college basketball this year, and the closest thing we have — dynamic 7-1 center James Wiseman — has enrolled not at a blue blood, but at a faded power one of its legendary figures is trying to revive. Instead of a one-and-done superstar serving as the face of the college basketball season, we have Michigan State’s Cassius Winston: not expected to be an NBA first-round pick, not someone who’ll constantly be discussed by those obsessed with “draft stock” — but instead an elite college player who makes his team better, and who could lead the Spartans to their first NCAA championship in 20 years....

A strong showing from the struggling visitors earned a valuable point which may be enough to keep them in the Premier League next season, an impressive achievement given their limited budget. They also kept at bay the bid by Pep Guardiola’s runaway champions to set new Premier League records for the most goals, points and wins in a season – all marks which could yet be claimed by City in the season’s final week in which they play Brighton and Southampton....

For example, Canada has some unique passive abilities which lend towards getting a diplomatic victory while Macedonia’s unique troops make it much more suited for a domination victory. Despite there being only one leader for most civs in Civilization 6, the game takes care to separate what abilities come from the civ itself and which come from the leader....
