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.

JUST IN: FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA JUST SHOOK THE NATION WITH MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Imahe
Former President Barack Obama announced in a video on Wednesday that he is inviting civic leaders from around the globe to Chicago next month, where they will exchange ideas and plan ways to solve some of the world’s common problems. The inaugural Obama Foundation Leadership Summit “will be a place to gather and learn from one another, and then go back to your communities to lead others in the hard work of change,” Obama said in a video and email released to supporters. Obama said he expects the summit will bring together hundreds of leaders from around the world—many of them young people. The summit will be the beginning of several activities the Foundation is planning, Obama said: In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be kicking off more initiatives and opportunities for people like you to get involved with the Obama Foundation’s mission. That mission is simple: We want to inspire and empower people to change the world.

Do You Still Stand With President Trump?

Imahe
Donald Trump is languishing in the polls as he approaches the 100-day mark in the White House, but a new survey released Thursday shows the president’s voters are still firmly in his corner. The overwhelming majority of Trump voters surveyed by the University of Virginia Center of Politics, 93 percent, approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Only 7 percent of voters who said they cast their ballot for Trump now disapprove of his performance, the poll shows. “Trump voters are extraordinarily loyal and supportive of the guy they voted for last November,” said Republican pollster Glen Bolger, who conducted the poll and focus groups for the school. “All the controversy, all the stuff you read in media about how it’s chaotic, how they don’t have their act together — they don’t see it.” That sentiment — the idea that what some see as dysfunction in the White House is viewed by many Trump voters as disruptive action — was backed up by focus groups cond

Will You Buy a Copy of Barack Obama’s New Book?

Imahe
The publishers involved in the auction for “the most hotly anticipated publishing deal of the year” include Penguin Random House, which published Obama’s previous three books, and HarperCollins, which ironically is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News. Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS, and Macmillan, are also in the mix. As the FT points out, a win by HarperCollins would bring the Obamas into the same publishing house as Bill O’Reilly, the author and Fox News Channel presenter who has been one of the former president’s fiercest critics. For now, Penguin Random House is reportedly leading the pack for the publishing deal with a decision on the winning bid expected imminently. With the price set to surpass $60 million, the sum offered would eclipse other book deals secured by departing presidents, and would be four times greater than the $15 million Bill Clinton received from Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House, for his 2004 memoirs My Life when he left the Whi
