Former NFL linebacker shot himself in the chest. There are other related incidents, and this may be related to depression causing head injuries. There have been lawsuits before on this issue.

Great football player, also a great man.

"NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that owners voted to fine teams if players do not stand during the national anthem, but players, previously mandated to be on the field for the anthem, can instead opt to remain in the locker room."

There is a game called League of Legends that was developed over 2 years ago. This game is gaining massive popularity, primarily because those who succeed enough at this game get payed to play. For example, George Liu, a 23 year old resident of California makes over 500 dollars a day to play this game for 6 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. This is not even the highest they pay. Similar to sports, this is a team game. Recently, like all sports, they began to hold a 3 week "season playoff" game in which the winning team would receive 1 million dollars (Split between 5 people), and anyone who made it to the finals, left with at least 5 grand in there pocket, not to mention an all expenses payed trip to 3 locations in which they would host the game play. Sounds like fun right, getting payed to play a game you like? What's not fun, cheating. North America's #1 team was eliminated the first game, by the Korean team. Many claim the game play to be unfair, claims of map hacking, and many other claims of cheating have been made. So, an internationally popular game is taking away prize money which will be donated to charity, but the issues of this are so dramatic. So many opinions have been formed, that this is getting a little out of hand, over a game.

i think its crazy how much funding there is toward this game. i can understand the riot because people can get passionate about anything, but they're spending a lot just for a single game.

It's a world-wide competitive game. I mean, I see football players making more then these guys are giving away. Alex, the American teams nationality was from the same nation that had beat them.

After he found himself stranded in the ocean, former Miami Dolphins fullback Rob Konrad harnessed the mojo of his former team's mascot in order to stay alive. Konrad fell off his fishing boat off the Florida Coast and swam nine miles to save his life.

"Politicians and parents of slain students in Parkland, Florida, are expressing outrage about a forthcoming video game in which players can simulate being an active shooter to terrorize a school."

Me personally I don't think video games can effect how us as humans. Also it's just a VIDEO GAME (keyword game) but this game should defiantly be 18+

"But for every article about Facebook's creepy stalker behavior, thousands of other companies are breathing a collective sigh of relief that it's Facebook and not them in the spotlight. Because while Facebook is one of the biggest players in this space, there are thousands of other companies that spy on and manipulate us for profit."

I found this new information within the article to be very disturbing, and yet, there are some aspects that I'm not surprised about. I have already comprehended the fact that Google can track all of your searches and that causes ads to be related to your own interests but for media to constantly monitor my actions just from my phone? That's disturbing once you think and look into it.

I was watching a video actually on Facebook and this couple heard about facebook stalking people so they decided to talk about cat food for 3 days with facebook open and offline then they opened it one day to cat food adds on their facebook which is really creepy to me.

This is a violation of the student's first amendment rights

Another athlete protesting during the National Anthem. I wonder if this will occur more often as the season progresses?

These players doing this bulls*** should be immediately fired. Either stand for your country and show respect towards the fallen soldiers who went to war and lost their lives for you to even think about kneeling or leave and never turn back because you don't belong here.

And players who do heinous things like rape or rob places don't get fired. Why should someone who decides to peacefully protest be fired? Many people who do kneel/sit actually have a huge respect for our soldiers. One last thing, look up the US flag code of conduct. Plenty of things that companies do, and probably even things that YOU do, Stockton, directly violate that code.

"Donald Trump's presidency has been upended by an explosive whistleblower complaint that has snowballed into a fast-moving impeachment inquiry"

Families are preparing to receive the bodies of the victims of this week's air tragedy in Colombia as experts develop a clearer picture of how things went so terribly wrong with a charter flight that slammed into a mountainside. Many of the 71 killed were players and coaches from a...

An 8-year-old Colorado boy was ordered to remove his Peyton Manning Broncos jersey at school because of its perceived street gang affiliation.

I believe that schools should not be so strict about gang related clothing because a lot of people don't know that certain things you see on clothing are gang related.

I find this ridiculous that they're making a elementary student remove his jersey just because of a number that represents a gang. If it was a problem before hand, they should of let the parents and students know a head of time. And a 8 year doesn't even know what a gang is so I don't see what the big deal is anyways. They're just being paranoid.

yeah, this story doesn't seem right through and through. What did the man do to provoke the shooting? Could the woman see he was hurt?

You can never trust anyone anymore. The government is suppose to help benefit and support the people, but they only care about themselves. The people who are suppose to protect us shoot us down in a time of need. We go against one another and fight over unnecessary things. We aren't the Worlds greatest country anymore.

This is crazy. The officer had no reason to shoot that man. He was already hurt, couldn't they tell? Police officers need to know what's right and what's wrong because they obviously don't.

Paula Matuskey, 15 years old: "Shocked, we looked across the room at each other, in total disbelief. Even hardened football players who were in our class were visibly crying. And somehow, even that early, some of us knew that this was going to forever change our society, our expectations and our country."

That Kennedy was a great president so when he died people felt shocked and sadness.

"We are especially concerned about how this legislation could affect our student-athletes and employees," NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement Thursday afternoon. He said the NCAA will "work diligently" to ensure competitors and visitors at next week's Final Four are not "negatively impacted by this bill."

Religious freedom? The bible says "Love Thy Neighbour", not shame them and deny them for who they are. It also isn't fair that the sports players are effected by one man's decision.

I think it is ridiculous that anyone is still being discriminated this kind of stuff. It's something that isn't new, people need to be more open minded and worry so much about what others are doing.
