Study claims NFL ratings drop was not due to kneeling protests While the  NFL  and President  Donald Trump  believe that the #TakeAKnee movement is to blame for the declining TV ratings, a study by  USA Today ,  reveals that the protests had little impact. USA Today reviewed comScore data from 2016 and 2017 that counters the claim that the NFL was taking a hit because of the players’ decisions to kneel. According to the report, the NFL actually had a small uptick – a 1 percent increase in ratings during the first four weeks of 2018. Even though the timing aligns with when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback  Colin Kaepernick  started kneeling during the anthem in protest of racial injustice and police shootings of  Black men , the ratings drop by 17 percent in that year was already happening, according to the study.

Contractor’s racist abuse caught on video — but his company won’t fire him because ‘Trump’s president’: lawsuit A complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims that a New York contractor refused to fire his son despite the fact that he was caught on camera hurling racist abuse at employees. The  New York Daily News  reports  that the EEOC complaint alleges that Kenneth Kasper, a co-owner of the company Mid County Mechanical, brushed off former employee Rafael Galan’s complaints about being subjected to racist abuse at the hands of his son, supervisor Steven Kasper. “What do you expect?” Kasper asked Galan, according to the complaint. “Now that Trump’s President, it’s a white backlash. We’re taking America back.” In a video given to the  New York Daily News , Steven Kasper can be heard shouting racial epithets at other employees — and at one point even hurling objects at them in fits of rage. “Get a f*cking education like...

Washington State Abolishes the Death Penalty, Finding the Punishment ‘Racially Biased’ Washington state’s Supreme Court abolished the death penalty on Thursday on the grounds that it was applied randomly and “in a racially biased manner,” thus violating the state’s constitution. With the decision, Washington is now the 20th U.S. state to ban capital punishment. The case striking down capital punishment was brought forward by a black death row inmate, Allen Gregory. As ABC News reports , Gregory was sentenced to death for raping and murdering a 43-year-old woman in her home in 1996.   From ABC News: There is no doubt of Allen’s guilt, or of the horrific brutality of his crime. What the Washington court focused on is what many states have come to see—the death penalty is administered so arbitrarily, and is laced with so much conscious and unconscious racial bias, that it cannot be seen as a just or even lawful act by the state. Supporting this was an...

Hall of Famer Jim Brown does not condone NFL players kneeling for the national anthem NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown does not believe players should kneel during the presentation of the national anthem. "Well, I can be very blunt about taking the knee. First of all, I'm an American. That flag is my flag," Brown told reporters at the White House Thursday afternoon.

Arkansas sheriff’s office forcing inmates to wear Nike shirts in mugshots to mock Colin Kaepernick: activist A Sheriff’s Department in El Dorado, Arkansas, reportedly forced inmates to pose for their mugshots in Nike t-shirts. According to criminal justice reform activist Shaun King, who first posted the mugshots, it was meant to protest the company’s new ad campaign starring former football player Colin Kaepernick. “The Sheriff in Union County, Arkansas is putting Nike t-shirts on people they arrest and making them wear them during mugshots,” King wrote on Twitter. “Source says it is to mock Nike and Colin Kaepernick.

A Washington man attacked a black kitchen worker on sight at a Denny’s restaurant — and then fought with police officers trying to arrest him. The black cook said he went to a corner of the restaurant to take his break, and a customer — l a t e r i d e n t i f i e d as Rory French — immediately began using racial slurs against him, r e p o r t e d T h e N e w s T r i b u n e . The employee went back to the kitchen to get away from the angry man, who continued taunting the cook. “You are going down, I am going to kill you,” French allegedly said — punctuating each threat with a racial slur. Another customer stepped up to stop the 41-year-old French, who punched the man three times before other customers wrangled him by the straps on his overalls, the newspaper reported. Customers held French by his overalls until Pierce County sheriff’s deputies arrived, and the good Samaritan returned to his chicken-fried steak breakfast. A deputy tried to distract Fren...

Here are the top 5 most bizarre things Kanye West said to Donald Trump in the Oval Office President Donald Trump received Kanye West in the Oval Office Thursday in the White House before they had lunch with former NFL player Jim Brown. The conversation was so high-energy it bordered on manic. Here are the most bizarre things said during the press availability. 1 . T h e M A G A h a t g i v e s m e p o w e r According to West, he doesn’t have a lot of male energy in his home and he didn’t grow up with a father in his house so he didn’t have that either. He told Trump that the Make America Great Again hat gave him “male energy” that he couldn’t get from Hillary Clinton’s campaign “I’m with her.” He called the hat his “Superman cape.” West seems to view Trump as a kind of father figure. 2 .
