ROK was NOT informed in advance. They had either no notice, or virtually no notice (e.g. perhaps a phone call 1 minute in advance of public release….). This is diplomatic malpractice. THERE WAS NO REASON TO RUSH. I remind, it is 11:41 pm here….Moon had to jerk his cabinet.

Yesterday, Roger Goodell proudly unveiled the NFL’s new policy regarding players and the national anthem. A lot of people hated it and President Donald Trump loved it, but the league made sure to note that the policy passed with a “unanimous” vote by the owners. That’s what mattered, that the obscenely rich guys approved. Now ESPN’s Seth Wickersham reports that there was never a formal owners’ vote—as there usually is—and the NFL just did a little informal polling and thought everyone would be cool with it.
From the report:
Sources said league executives polled owners and knew how they would vote but didn’t hold an official tally, which is atypical for a major resolution.
Already, three team owners have taken the opportunity to distance themselves from this policy. Niners owner Jed York said he abstained, and Wickersham reports that Raiders owner Mark Davis did too. Jets chairman Chris Johnson said he’d pay for any fines if players wanted to demonstrate during the pregame anthem.

So the League makes a big song and dance about how they made the rule change due to owners holding a unanimous vote.
Turns out instead that there was no vote, the League effectively acted out of fear that Trump would be angry if they didn’t ban protests.
So a rule change that nobody was happy about to begin with is now turning out to have been something that the brass pushed on the teams out of fear of a petulant prick in the White House.
Pack it in, Goodell, you’re fucked.

But what drove her to quit a year ago, she says, was the treatment she received from team leaders, whom she alleges badgered her about her virginity and forbade her from expressing her Christian faith…”My coaches sat down and said, ‘Let’s talk about your virginity,’” Ware says, “and I thought, ‘That isn’t right.’
…Ware filed a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations against the NFL and Miami Dolphins alleging that she was discriminated against because of her religion and gender. Ware claims that she was treated differently than football players who kneel in prayer after a big play, openly pray together and talk about their faith.

No one should be surprised that North Korea didn’t keep their promises leading up the summit. This has ALWAYS been their mo, and it’s why I’ve always been a fan of carpet bombing Pyongyang
