Nearly 15 years ago, former NFL defensive coordinator Perry Fewell described the humiliation of enduring a token head coaching interview, knowing he was someone's Rooney Rule box to check.

Brian Flores' case shows the problem still exists.

"Why should players accept financial guardrails when coaches don't have to? Capitalism is a wonderful thing until the "wrong people" start making money...

Remember, it's not about saving college football. It's about protecting the powerbrokers who already control college football."

Colin Kaepernick reveals that Patriots owner Robert Kraft colluded with other NFL owners and organized against him, just as he did with Macklemore.

Kaepernick still trains every day to return to the NFL.

[Acyn @Acyn]

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore the opportunity to perform with Ed Sheeran is they are willing to collude. They are openly colluding.

When we filed the grievance, it was like, well, the owners wouldn’t do that. Everybody just wants to win within the NFL. And the realization is, no. They want to protect their interests. They want to protect their power. They want to protect their money. And they also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you. And that was some of the warning coming out of the protest and some of the warning coming out of the grievance, is that they will organize against you. Which means that we collectively have to organize to be able to protect our interests as well.

Jay-Z is a glorified errand boy for other billionaires

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

🚨 NEW: Colin Kaepernick says NFL owners sought a prominent Black figure to help end the player protests, and even offered him a major deal while “actively blackballing” him. He rejected it.

Kaepernick says Jay-Z then “stepped into that role” as the “Black face” the NFL sought “to be able to subvert the protest.” https://t.co/nooI1uG49v

NEWS: Colin Kaepernick says Trump tried to get him to visit the White House after publicly attacking him and targeting his NFL employment, an outreach Kaepernick viewed as an attempt to co-opt him and create the appearance Trump was working for Black Americans.

Kaepernick immediately rejected the invite. https://t.co/awlzK9IYUu

RIP Dr. Gladys West. #trailblazer #legacy #STEM

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Dr. Gladys West, the Black mathematician whose brilliance made GPS possible, has passed at 95. Born on a Dinwiddie County farm during the Great Depression, she overcame segregation to become a scientist and map the world—literally. May we never forget her legacy or the path she paved for generations of mathematicians.
