After 3-Hour NFL Meeting, A Sick Announcement Is Made About The National Anthem..




A statement released jointly by the NFL and NFLPA called it a “productive meeting,” and that there will be another session in the future:
Today owners and players had a productive meeting focused on how we can work together to promote positive social change and address inequality in our communities. NFL executives and owners joined NFLPA executives and player leaders to review and discuss plans to utilize our platform to promote equality and effectuate positive change. We agreed that these are common issues and pledged to meet again to continue this work together.
As we said last week, everyone who is part of our NFL community has a tremendous respect for our country, our flag, our anthem and our military. In the best American tradition, we are coming together to find common ground and commit to the hard work required for positive change.
Eleven owners and 13 players were part of the discussions on Tuesday, which were held at the NFL headquarters in New York City. After the owners and players met, there was a previously scheduled owners-only meeting to discuss the anthem as well as other league matters.
Yahoo Sports reporter Charles Robinson, who is in New York for Tuesday’s meetings, wrote on Twitter, “Sounds like nothing definitive accomplished in meeting between players, NFL, NFLPA. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross sounded measured at best.”
NFL.com’s Judy Battista tweeted that the meeting was the “best the communication has ever been between players and owners,” though there was no final agreement.
Also via Twitter, Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins told Bob Glauber of Newsday that the meeting was collaborative, and that there wasn’t much time spent of the anthem, but rather more on ways the two sides can move forward on issues of social justice.

Imahe
On Monday, a thunder hit FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as the FISA memo showed that he has been involved in dozen of illegal activities and spying on thousands of influential people. NBC News reported that he has “stepped down effective today” and this news has hit liberals like a bolt from a clear sky. Via  CNBC: McCabe, who served a brief stint as acting director of the bureau, was already expected to leave. He will stay on “terminal leave” until he is eligible to retire with benefits in March,” One source familiar said McCabe was exercising his retirement eligibility and characterized his decision as “stepping aside.” McCabe has been at the center of ongoing tensions between the White House and the FBI and has reportedly been under pressure to quit from President Donald Trump, whose campaign is being investigated for possible collusion with Russia.

How Trump’s Allies Fanned an Ember of Controversy Into Flames of Outrage

Imahe
WASHINGTON — The release of the memo mattered less than #releasethememo. After weeks of buildup, the three-and-a-half-page document about alleged F.B.I. abuses during the 2016 presidential campaign made public on Friday was broadly greeted with criticism, including by some Republicans. They said it cherry-picked information, made false assertions and was overly focused on an obscure, low-level Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. It didn’t live up to the hype. But the campaign, captured in the hashtag #releasethememo, which was trending on Twitter for days, may have a far more significant impact than the memo’s contents. It was a choreographed effort by House Republicans and top White House officials to push a highly contentious theme — that the F.B.I. and the Justice Department abused their powers to spy on the Trump campaign, and relied on dodgy information from a former British spy paid by Democratic operatives. What began as an ember more than two weeks ago was fanned in
