Another great Saturday of CFB

Are you going to watch the WC? Maybe we could hang around the chat thing, it's empty anyway, during the games and shot some poo and slurs? I dread a month or /r/soccer game threads.

The Colts fired their head coach Frank Reich two days ago after going 3-5-1. They replaced him with Jeff Saturday as interim head coach. A former player for the team, Jeff Saturday also boasts a two year coaching stint at Hebron Christian Academy, a high school in Georgia.

A reassuring quote from his first press conference:

"My role here is for 8 games. When this is over. They will do an exhaustive search and pick whoever their best candidate is to be the head coach of the Colts. If I'm considered I'd be honored. I have no idea where this thing is gonna go — not even a little bit."

"Here's the deal, man. None of us are promised a good job. I may be terrible at this. And after eight games, I'll say, 'God bless you. I am no good.' I may be really good it? But I dang sure ain't gonna back down."

Journos are of course angry about this due to them not hiring a black coach. Somehow they are jumping to the conclusion he's unfit for the job.

Colts' Jeff Saturday hire makes mockery of NFL's meritocracy creed and again moves goalposts for Black coaches

The Boston Bruins are facing a backlash for their decision to sign Mitchell Miller, a 20-year-old defenseman who admitted in court to bullying a fellow student while using racist language.

Many Bruins fans, the commissioner of the National Hockey League and Bruins players have reacted negatively to Friday's announcement that the team had signed Miller to an entry-level contract and assigned him to the Providence Bruins, Boston's A.H.L. affiliate.

"It's not something anyone in this room stands for," Nick Foligno, the Bruins veteran forward, told reporters at the team's morning skate in Toronto on Saturday. "The culture we've built and these guys have built before I got here is one of inclusion. I think it goes against that." He added: "It's hard for us to swallow."

Gary Bettman, the commissioner, spoke to reporters Saturday in Tampere, Finland, before a game between Colorado and Columbus there, and said the Bruins had not consulted the league before signing Miller and that Miller was currently ineligible to play in the league. If the Bruins ever decide to promote him, they will need to appeal to Bettman before Miller can gain eligibility.

Bettman indicated it would not be easy for him to clear Miller.

"What I understand and have heard through the media, what he did as a 14-year-old is reprehensible, unacceptable," Bettman said. He added, "They were free to sign him to play somewhere else, that's another league's issue. But nobody should think, at this point he is, or may ever be, N.H.L. eligible. And the Bruins understand that now."

Whether the Bruins keep Miller or not, the signing has already added tarnish to the legacy of the Original Six team that made Willie O'Ree the first Black player in the N.H.L. in 1958.

Patrice Bergeron, in an interview with Sportsnet in Toronto, where the Bruins were scheduled to play the Maple Leafs on Saturday, said bringing in a player with such a toxic record was contrary to the Bruins' culture.

"We stand for integrity and inclusion and diversity, obviously," Bergeron, the Bruins' captain, said. "That was the first thing that came out of my mouth, it goes against a little of what we are as a culture and as a team and for me as a person."

In 2016, Miller, then 14, pleaded guilty to one count of assault and one count of violating the Ohio Safe Schools Act. He and another teenager were accused of making Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, a developmentally challenged 14-year-old boy, eat candy after they had wiped it in a bathroom urinal, and surveillance video showed them kicking and punching him. Miller also used racial epithets against the boy, who is Black.

Don Sweeney, the Bruins general manager, said he had struggled with the decision to sign Miller but indicated that other teams were also interested in signing him, too.

"If they were willing to give him a chance, then we all have to look in the mirror and say, 'Why wouldn't we be willing to give him a chance?'" Sweeney said in a video news conference with reporters on Friday.

Before the 2020 draft, Miller, who is white, apologized to all the N.H.L. teams in writing but not to the victim. According to the Bruins, he did not apologize to Meyer-Crothers until recently, when they asked him to, and he did it on social media, not in person. Isaiah's mother, Joni Meyer-Crothers, has said that the other person involved in the attacks made a tearful apology in person.

The Arizona Coyotes drafted Miller in the fourth round, 111th overall, but after The Arizona Republic reported on the bullying and Miller's conviction in juvenile court, the team renounced his rights. In the account, the victim said the abuse went on for years, with Miller hitting him and using racial slurs. Miller was playing for the University of North Dakota at the time and was kicked off that team, too.

In a statement released Friday, Miller apologized for only one incident.

"When I was in eighth grade, I made an extremely poor decision and acted very immaturely," the statement said. "I bullied one of my classmates. I deeply regret the incident and have apologized to the individual. Since the incident, I have come to better understand the far-reaching consequences of my actions that I failed to recognize and understand nearly seven years ago."

I would just kill myself honestly

A former Haiti National Police officer turned gang leader who goes by the name “Barbecue,” Cherizier said he and his “Revolutionary Forces” have been closely following what’s being said about Haiti and the inability of the country’s political and civil society leaders to come together without “hypocrisy” for the good of the country. As a result, the alliance has decided to allow fuel to once more flow.

“We,” he said, “are asking all truck drivers, and all implicated in the distribution of gas, to take all dispositions to permit fuel to be distributed to pumps.”

Since Tuesday, the gang has been locked in a confrontation with specialized units of the Haitian national police, which finally took control of the Varreux terminal on Thursday. But even as Cherizier’s video message made the rounds Sunday, police were reporting heavy shootings in the area where the terminal is located. A number of gang members have reportedly died or been injured in the gun battle, police sources have said.

...

In exchange for unblocking the terminal and the roads leading to the ports, Cherizier had demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. His video clips always showed him to physically be in the vicinity of the Varreux port area with a wall of burning tires in the background. On Sunday, he delivered his speech not from the streets but from La Saline inside an unusually closed room where cameras did not show him to be surrounded by his heavily armed soldiers. He made no mention of controlling Varreux and denied the decision to allow fuel to flow once more was due to negotiations with the government.

Before ending his speech, he asked Haitians if they were happy with their situation where a food crisis is worsening, cholera is surging and kidnappings are rampant. He then issued a list of demands to the authorities, which include a reopening of schools and a clean up of all areas to remove the mountains of trash that have been piling up for months in the capital due to the escalating gang violence.

Despite the assertions by Cherizier, the port area still needs to be secured. G-9 allies, for example have occupied nearby police stations forcing police to retreat. In recent days, gangs have also moved further north in Port-au-Prince to occupy the area near the private Lafito port, the wheat flour processing plant and cement mill.

Who you got?

Hope they get bought by a Dan Snyder, Mike Ashley, James Dolan, Woody Johnson type owner.

Vasilis Tsiartas, the former football player of AEK and the Greek national team, was sentenced by the Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens to 10 months in prison and a 5,000 euro suspended fine for his transphobic post on social media in 2017.

The legendary footballer became the first to be convicted under the anti-racism law, as amended in 2014. It is noted that the Intersex Support Association, through its president Marinas Galanos, had filed a lawsuit against him, who had also denounced those who had issued threats against her lately.

It is recalled that Tsiartas in 2017, specifically shortly before the passing of the bill for the redefinition of gender identity, had proceeded to post a statement through which he incited readers to acts of hatred and discrimination.

More specifically, he had posted on his Facebook account that he wished "the first gender changes will be made by the children of those who voted for this disgrace. Let's see with what pride they will have. PS Legalise the paedophiles and complete the crimes."

In a second post, a few hours later, he had commented: "God created Adam and Eve".

The conviction against Tsiartas, as the lawyer Vassilis Sotiropoulos stated in his post on Facebook, is the first decision to implement the anti-racist law 927/1979 for public incitement to violence or hatred due to gender identity.

It is worth noting that with the same decision, another accused was sentenced to seven months in prison with suspension, for transphobic insults after the post.
