Will New Professional Football League Allow Players To Kneel In Protest Of Racism?

Follow this link:

A new professional football league apparently spearheaded by former Black players was announced Thursday, amid turmoil in the National Football League over its athletes protesting racism by kneeling during the national anthem. See Also: NFL Makes New Rule That Players Can’t Kneel Against Racism, Or Else Former NFL running back Ricky Williams broke the news about the Freedom Football League on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.” Approximately 100 “stakeholders,” including 50 former NFL players, are starting the league. The owners include Terrell Owens , Simeon Rice  and Mike Alstott , ESPN reported. In describing the mission of the league, Williams hinted that it would permit players to protest. “We’re trying to develop young men. You can’t take away their voice and expect them to develop. … When I grew up watching football, I really wanted to be like Jim Brown , not because of what he did on a field, but because he could take that platform and have a voice. And so, when I got to the NFL, expecting that to be the case, anytime a big social issue came up, we were told, ‘Be quiet. … It’s a distraction.’ And so, really, [we’re] changing the conversation,” he said. BREAKING: Former Pro Bowler Ricky Williams announces new Freedom Football League, founded in part by former NFL players. Teams will be “partly owned by the players, partly owned by the fans, and partly owned by the operators.” pic.twitter.com/sEonBKygr9 — Outside The Lines (@OTLonESPN) December 6, 2018 Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was the first to take a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racism in the criminal justice system. He started a movement at the expense of his professional football career. In response to the backlash from many fans, the NFL announced in May 2018 a ban on players kneeling during the national anthem, but later suspended enforcement of new rules. It’s not clear how the Freedom Football League will manage that issue. But Williams offered a clue. “The purpose of this league … is about community and the development of players,” Williams stated. “… In thinking about creating this league, I wanted to create a league that I could have stayed in and been comfortable and really thrived. The NFL started a long time ago, and since then a lot of things have changed. And we want to create a league that’s ready for that change and invite some more of it.” The new league is slated to have 10 teams that would play in the spring and summer. It wants to attract high-quality players from college, high school and international leagues—as well as NFL defectors. Funding for the Freedom League would come from private and public sources, which enables fans to become part owners.

Let’s Get It: Scientists Are Developing A Pill That Lets You Eat Anything Without Gaining Weight

Source: Thomas Barwick / Getty Science Could Be Giving Us A Pill That Prevents Weight Gain Soon, we might all be able to take a pill that will let you scarf down your favorite foods without gaining any weight. SIGN. ME. UP. According to the people over at  Science Daily , this pill is meant to affect the RCAN1 gene. In a study on mice, when the gene was turned off, animals could gorge on fatty foods without gaining any calories in their body. “We know a lot of people struggle to lose weight or even control their weight for a number of different reasons,” the study’s lead researcher Professor Damien Keating explained. “The findings in this study could mean developing a pill which would target the function of RCAN1 and may result in weight loss.” Removing the RCAN1 both increased the mice’s metabolism and expended the calories as heat instead of storing them. This process works for the mice to not gain weight because it turns white fat (fat that’s stored) into brown fat (fat that’s burned as heat). The original findings of Keating’s study were published in  EMBO Reports . “Mice deficient for RCAN1 have an elevated metabolic rate and are resistant to diet‐induced obesity,” the report said. “Removing RCAN1 had two major effects,” Keating said. “It reduced the storage of fat in dangerous areas around the belly, for example. And then in muscle it actually [caused] muscles to burn more calories at rest.” As of now, scientists including Keating will continue to explore options for creating a pill like this for humans, so, unfortunately, we’re not out of the woods just yet. “The ideal would be to take some sort of pill that didn’t require you to watch your diet, that didn’t require you to exercise,” Keating said. “Now, that might seem like a pipe dream, but the findings that we have out of this mouse study at least indicate a novel pathway that we might be able to target.” Now we just need a time machine to jump to whatever year we actually have this pill…

Royal Hip Hop seeds Angela , Vanessa , Jojo Simmons and Romeo Miller spoke exclusively to BOSSIP about all the juicy drama that went down in season three of GUHH, including whether or not Romeo tried to get with both Simmons sisters. Romeo had a crush on Vanessa 1st. Wow!!!!! Wasn't expecting that #GUHH — C.A.M. Bled$oe (@Cam_B_2Chill) August 3, 2018 He told Bossip: The thing about reality tv is that it’s real what you see, but it always depends on how things are edited. Like if you’re watching sports, it’s more the top ten, not the whole game. Reality TV is still a job and what I like about our show is that everyone is genuine and you get what you get with us. As for his crush on Angela and Vanessa, Romeo giggled before replying: Ayye, the Simmons’ have very great cheek bones, great bone structure. Look at Jojo! That’s a model right there. Apparently that’s for him to know and for the rest of us to find out on Season 4 of GUHH, airing January 10 on WE tv. The cast also played a game of “Fill In The Blank” with Bossip — hit the flip to see what they said.

Kevin Hart Announces He’s Hosting The 2019 Oscars

Continued here:

Source: Gustavo Caballero / Stringer / Getty The star and comedian is emceeing the event for the first time. Kevin Hart is officially going to cross another milestone off his list. The comedian will serve as the host of the 91st Academy Awards ceremony. “I will be sure to make this years Oscars a special one,” he wrote on Instagram Tuesday. “Now it’s time to rise to the occasion.” It’s Hart’s first time hosting the show and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had previously held talks with Hart about hosting the February ceremony. “I appreciate @TheAcademy for the opportunity,” wrote Hart in his post , adding, “For years I have been asked if I would ever Host the Oscars and my answer was always the same…I said that it would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me as a comedian and that it will happen when it’s suppose to.” The past two Oscars were hosted by  Jimmy Kimmel . Hart previously hosted the MTV Movie Awards alongside  Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the two were promoting their  Central Intelligence  movie. He’s been campaigning in some form or fashion to host the Oscars or at least wanting to host the Oscars since 2015. “That would be a major accomplishment. With what I’ve done and the progress I’ve made in my career,” he said. “That’s definitely the next major step, I feel, for a comedian.” The Oscars will air live on Sunday, Feb. 24, on ABC.

Lindsay Lohan Exposes Cleavage, Explains Why She Got Punched In the Face

Remember when Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” with her ass-centric Paper magazine cover? Well, that iconic pic inspired more than just a Wreck-It Ralph sequel. Paper has been trying to recreate that web-shattering success ever since, but this year they’re relying less on nudity, and more on confessional interviews with the tabloid queens of yesteryear. First, Amanda Bynes opened up to the magazine revealing exactly what was going through her mind during the extended meltdown that brought an end to her acting career. Now, Lindsay Lohan is spilling the tea in hopes of receiving a similarly compassionate response from social media. There are two problems with that plan, of course: 1. Lindsay effed up so hard for so many years that it’s impossible to address all of her scandals in a single interview. 2. While Amanda was self-destructive, Lindsay often turns her destructive impulses outward , negatively impacting the lives of those who have the misfortune to cross her path: Lindsay Lohan Accuses Refugee Mother of Trafficking, Gets Punched in Face Remember when Lindsay got punched in the face while she was harassing a Middle Eastern family because she insanely assumed they had kidnapped their kids? Yeah, that’s some next-level bigoted paranoia, even by the standards of Trump Era America. So it’s a good thing that — even though Lindsay has a new reality show to promote — the folks at Paper decided to focus on that ugly incident in their Lindsay interview. We assume the interview basically started with, “So — what in the actual f–k was that?” At first, Linds, dodged the question, saying that she wouldn’t talk about it over the phone, but would tell her story face-to-face. Naturally, she totally failed made good on her promise: “There’s actresses, there’s several of them to my knowledge that don’t use Instagram or Twitter. But I feel like you sort of have to,” she said, by way of dodging the question. “It’s your way of controlling the narrative. I recently made the mistake of having my phone recording live video, and that I learned from,” Lindsay added. “But I think it’s also important because if you’re doing something and you want to give direct access to your fans, you can contact them and see their thoughts and get an opinion.” So after offering that lofty explanation over the phone, Linds flew into NYC from Mykonos like some coke-fueled Carmen SanDiego. She showed up to her Paper photoshoot on time (which her publicist hilariously told the reporter “to note”), but when the subject of her one-woman anti-human trafficking campaign came up, Lindsay was, unsurprisingly, “too tired” to talk. “I read the situation wrong,” she later said in an e-mailed statement. “I’ve learned from it. And that’s all I have to say.” Thanks for that insight, Linds. Anytime you get punched in the face and the whole world applauds, we think it’s safe to say you “read the situation wrong.” “I would love to know why I get constantly clobbered in the press,” Lindsay said in her interview. “I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong, but it’s that one thing that will be focused on.” Well, Lindsay, when the one thing you did wrong is harass an immigrant family for the crime of having accents, yeah — people are gonna focus on that. Asked about her hard-partying ways, the 32-year-old former actress stated that those days are behind her … for the most part. “I like to have fun, but that doesn’t mean I need to go out and drink and be crazy,” Lohan told the mag. “I have a good relationship with that. It’s funnier to watch other people party.” Wait, so she’s out there playing ICE agent completely sober?! Jeez, this situation is more serious than we thought.

Doin’ Too Much? Man Proposes To His GF With Six Engagement Rings!

Ladies, we know engagement rings are a big deal. Marriage proposals happen almost every day and we know for sure that if our nails aren’t done then more than likely we’re going to feel a type of way. But, what if you man decided to propose not with just one ring but SIX rings and asked you to pick which one you wanted? Model  Dennis Brown II proposed to his girlfriend  Atara Dallas on November 28 and did it in a way that may not ever be topped. He got down on one knee and proposed but opened a heart shaped box with six diamond engagement rings inside. He wrote on Instagram, “I didn’t win #6 rings like Michael Jordan but I won at life with her so she deserves #6 rings to choose from.” Of course Brown did some HEAVY organization in order to pull off his proposal from a photographer, videographer, props designer, florist, makeup artist, hairdresser, drapery expert, assistants, stylists, and more. To go along with the extravagant wedding rings, there was a giant message written and posted on the wall behind them. “Today, on your special day I had the pleasure of putting a smile on your face all day. For there is no greater gift that I could think to give you. “A woman, whose heart is full of love and devotion to me, a woman whose loyalty to all those she loves stands unmatched, a woman whose generosity and willingness to help others around her flourish knows no depths.” Too sweet! But ladies, for real though — you picking through six engagement rings?
