The Lions canceled Tuesday's practice to protest the Kenosha, Wis. police shooting of Jacob Blake.
With coach Matt Patricia present, Duron Harmon, Trey Flowers and Taylor Decker addressed the media. "As a team, we looked each other in the eyes and realized that football isn't important today," Harmon said. "We have a platform that we are able to use not just to raise awareness but to create change." Flowers echoed Harmon's words. "We can't say silent. We cannot be going on in the world with our regular day. So today, unified we stand here and we came up with these words, these slogans, and we spread the message, spread the word." Players and teams across the league have expressed anguish at Blake's shooting. The NFL is coming around on the issue of racial justice after its disastrous initial response to Colin Kaepernick's protest.

, Chris Thomasson — a reporter for KIII, a Corpus Christi, Tex., TV station — posted a pregame clip with the caption, “The Robstown Cotton Pickers come out before their season opener against London tonight.”
Yes, the Cotton Pickers, a name that for many brings forth thoughts of slavery in America. The public high school, located in a suburb of the South Texas town, has had this team name since the early 1900s. Thomasson’s tweet, which unintentionally brought attention to it, quickly went viral.
the video had been viewed more than 2.5 million times. Many viewers expressed outrage or confusion, asking whether they had read the name correctly. Former Chicago Bears defensive back Charles Tillman called it “so offensive on so many levels.”

Spike Lee to direct documentary on Colin Kaepernick for ESPN
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on February 3, 2022, 1:33 AM ESTSpike Lee will direct a new multi-part documentary series for ESPN Films on former San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick.
ESPN announced the partnership with Lee on Wednesday. The documentary series is being produced in partnership with Kaepernick and his production company.
Kaepernick hasn’t given many interviews in the years since he last played in the NFL. He’s maintained a desire to return to football despite no NFL teams given him an offer to do so. The documentary series will presumably present Kaepernick’s story with an in-depth look into his career, decision to protest racial injustice during the national anthem at NFL games, and the aftermath of that decision.

What did the NFL think they could do? Removing either from the line-up, or suing them afterwards would both be PR nightmares - even more so now they are facing the Flores lawsuit

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced the start of a new initiative to offer free second autopsies to family members of anyone whose death is "police-related."
The Autopsy Initiative, offered through Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp organization, will provide free, secondary autopsies conducted by board-certified pathologists who will disclose the preliminary findings and issue the final autopsy reports to families.
The autopsy can be requested by anyone with a close relationship with the victim — such as a spouse, partner, relative, close friend or lawyer. The autopsy must be authorized by a legal representative, according to the organization.
The initiative will eliminate any concerns from the originally given autopsy, ensuring that it was conducted without any biases or errors and that any evidence wasn't manipulated — giving the victim's family a clear picture of what happened.
"We know that the prison industrial complex, which includes police and policing, strives to protect and serve its interests at all costs," Kaepernick told The Associated Press.
"The Autopsy Initiative is one important step toward ensuring that family members have access to accurate and forensically verifiable information about the cause of death of their loved one in their time of need," he added.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback has been the most vocal protester within the NFL when it comes to police brutality and racial inequality in the U.S.
