What do you guys think about the Kaepernick situation? Was it a sham workout staged by the NFL for PR reasons? Or, did the planning committee for both sides “drop” the ball? #LG4TheCulture
Nipsey Hussle said that “the highest human act is to inspire,” and like so many others, we are inspired by both his words and his actions.

In a historic decision, the NCAA announced on Tuesday that it would allow student-athletes to “benefit from their name, image, or likeness”. The NCAA governing board wants new codes in place by early 2021 for athletes to benefit from the updated system.
