 The wave of riots and anti-police actions that began in the Spring of 2020, and continue to this day, have been generally reported by the mainstream media as an entirely spontaneous grass roots response to the death in police custody of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The mainstream media got it wrong.

Over the years, there have been many father-son combos in the world of sports. Some have played different sports (i.e. one plays basketball and the other football) while some have played the same sport (i.e. following in dad's footsteps/carrying the family legacy). But out of all the father-son combos out there, there are a few that are synonymous with greatness. Just saying the family name, fans would recognize who you were talking about. So with that in mind, here are the Top 5 Father-Son Combos in sports.  Mark Colley
President Joe Biden is making his first big international splash at the G-7 summit in Carbis Bay, England. The countries are working on numerous policy issues, including a corporate tax rate, technology, trade, the pandemic and travel. In the meantime, Biden is cavorting with other world leaders, seen walking with French president Emmanuel Macron’s arm on his shoulder. It’s a stark contrast to former president Donald Trump’s appearances on the world stage, which were — in the kindest of terms — entertaining. In memory of the most entertaining — if not damaging — president this century, here’s the top four moments of Trump on the world stage 
"This is a poker game, and I’m shoving my chips to the middle of the table. I’m raising the ante, and anybody who wants in, get in. Anybody who wants out can get out. This team is going to the playoffs, OK?" – Jim Fassel, 2000
Words spoken by a man who had the utmost confidence in his players and arguably that defined the coaching career of Jim Fassel. Bridging the gap between the floundering Dan Reeves regime and the glory days of the Tom Coughlin regime, Fassel’s coaching tenure with the New York Giants was mixed with regular season success and unfortunate playoff losses. However, he still got the best out of his players each time and earned their respect too.
Last Monday night, Fassel suffered a fatal heart attack at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to a local hospital in Las Vegas where in the early hours of the morning, he passed away while under sedation. He was 71 years old.  Ryan L. Fox
The Boston Celtics are one of the NBAs proudest and most historic franchise in the league’s history. From banners to championship trophies, the Celtics are revered, respected, and envied by many. There is also the number of great and Hall-of-Fame players who have laced it up and played on the hardwood floor of the old Boston Garden (now TD Garden). You can just rattle off so many Celtics greats. Bill Russell, K.C. and Sam Jones, Bob Cousy, Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Paul Pierce just to name a few and that’s only scratching the surface. But for every Celtic great, there is a player who turns out to be a complete and utter dud. Whether it is due to injuries, poor play, off-court issues, or other variables, things just did not turn out so well for these players and their time with the green and white was something to forget. Just bringing up their can cause some fans to wince and others to bristle. Today, we’ll be looking back on some of the worst Celtics players to ever grace the court during the past 20 years in the 21st century. Just be thankful Celtics those players won't be walking through those doors any time soon. |
