“Today California took a major step toward treating HIV as a public health issue, instead of treating people living with HIV as criminals,” Sen. Scott Wiener, D.- San Francisco, told The Los Angeles Times.
California health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” decline to use a senior transgender patient’s “preferred name or pronouns” could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law.
ESPN‘s coverage of Monday Night Football pulled out all the stops, including an epic buildup complete with Storm Troopers, to the premiere of the trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi — but it wasn’t enough to halt the dramatic decline in viewers that the NFL has suffered as of late. In fact, the fifth week of MNF brought in its lowest numbers of the season, suggesting that the backlash over the league’s embrace of the national anthem protests isn’t letting up anytime soon.
Roger Goodell believes NFL players should stand for the national anthem. The commissioner has a plan to help the league get past the current controversy involving the song, he said in a letter sent Tuesday to all 32 teams.
Sunday, September 24, 2017, marked an important date in NFL history. As December 28, 1958, ushered in the era of professional football supremacy in this country, September 24, 2017, signaled its decline. Back then, Commissioner Bert Bell wept in the corner of the locker room–he knew what the Colts-Giants game meant. Yesterday, if Commissioner Roger Goodellpossessed more awareness, he, too, would have wept. After hundreds of players took a knee or took a pass on “The Star Spangled Banner,” hundreds of thousands of fans took a knee on Sunday football. Many of those viewers never return.
In metered market numbers, the primetime matchup that saw the Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders 27-10 snared an 11.6/20, the worst SNF has performed this season so far. It’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s game, Atlanta’s 34-23 win over Green Bay. Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.
Villanueva, who stood alone while “The Star-Spangled Banner” was being played Sunday in Chicago, currently has the #1 selling jersey on the NFL’s web store, ahead of top players including Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr.
Villanueva, a Steelers offensive tackle and Army veteran with three tours in the Middle East, was the only Steelers player to come out for the playing of the national anthem on Sunday:

Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday that Republican leaders can’t count on his vote for the GOP’s latest Obamacare repeal effort, as it currently stands, and that he suspects Sen. Mike Lee of Utah feels the same way.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Missouri sued the city of St. Louis Friday, alleging that police misused chemical weapons while handling the city’s protests.
Top individual tax rate cut from 39.6 to 35. The current seven income tax brackets collapsed to three, as part of simplification. (Axios hasn’t obtained the other two rates.)
Baguette et Chocolat—a bakery in Austin, Texas—is standing by their gun-free policy one week after a concealed handgun carrier was escorted out by police.
Not with this again. The anti-Trump media is once again playing the ‘crowd size card’ to attack President Trump. Just like they did on inauguration day where they attempted to compare crowd size long before Trump was on stage to when Obama was being sworn it. The crowd was bigger than those initial attacks, though not as large as Obama’s.
[sociallocker id=”40942″]
The same media largely ignored the fact that Trump’s crowds during the campaign were the largest consistent crowds seen in a campaign.
The media has been running with this narrative since the White House visit was announced. Every time a player was not to attend, it became about politics. I’m sure Tom Brady’s mom’s illness had nothing to do with him not attending this year. He must have turned his back on Trump.
Then there’s Danny Amendola. He didn’t attend because he had a funeral to go to. President Trump gave him a shout out, and he tweeted:
No big deal right? Except a bunch of idiots thought he was taking a moral stand against Trump, and they felt betrayed that he didn’t hate the President. The attacks were on.
So the Patriots decided to put the New York Times in their place for their fake ass tweet about fewer players attending the White House celebration this year.
Then they provided an explanation for the New York Times’ bogus photo.
These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y
Nearly one-third of American adults say they are less likely to watch a National Football League game because of the growing number of Black Lives Matter protests that are happening by players on the field, a Rasmussen poll found.
Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division is investigating after a witness spotted a Democratic National Committee tour bus apparently dumping human waste into a storm drain.
Maybe something like this is already in works, but wonder if tomorrow night, we should be more purposeful about generating the U-S-A, U-S-A chants during her riff about the need for togetherness and unity (assuming that’s still part of the speech)
“While I cannot speak to the specifics of this investigation I have the highest level of confidence there will be County Prosecutors in multiple Indiana counties who will hold a number of people criminally responsible for their actions.
