Whitlock, noting that Spike Lee is promoting a pro-Kaepernick rally outside the NFL’s New York City headquarters, said his supporters are following the protest playbook used by Al Sharpton in the 1980s during the Tawana Brawley case. MORE: No more denying: Kaepernick can play At first, Whitlock thought Kaepernick’s noisy celebrity supporters hurt him more than helped him. But now he thinks public pressure may force the NFL to cave in and stop blackballing the ex-49ers quarterback who turned the league upside down with his protest of the American flag/national anthem last season....

Jayaram, a former world no 13, is going through a rough patch ever since he sustained a hamstring injury in 2017. The Mumbai shuttler, who had reached the finals of Vietnam Open Super 100 last year, will begin his campaign against Japan’s seventh seed Kanta Tsuneyama. A four-time finalist at the Dutch Open, Jayaram’s best performance has been a final finish at the 2015 Korea Super Series. The 31-year-old Indian will hope for a better outing in the tournament after bowing out in the second round last week following a straight-game loss to Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen....

Team LeBron will take on Team Durant, but it appears that LeBron James’ team will be without one of its stars. Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell will miss Sunday’s All-Star Game with an upper respiratory illness, according to the team.

NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) The Jazz blew the contest open with a 12-2 run to begin the final period, before the game was delayed for a substantial period after a fan seated courtside vomited not far from the Utah bench. The visitors vacated their bench area while the cleanup took place. Even the Kings’ mascot needed to get involved. The event prompted the Golden 1 Center to put up a notice on the big screen that intoxicated fans would be ejected....

Raval’s career can easily be split into two dichotomous halves. In his first 17 Tests for New Zealand, he averaged in excess of 38. It was almost like a slow, smooth ascent until he scored his maiden century to establish himself in the side. Jeet Raval’s solid technique, steely resolve and discipline outside the off-stump line made him an obvious batting mainstay at the top with Tom Latham. There was a startling descent after that, though....

Bezos called it the “best day ever” after touching down in the desert in West Texas after the successful 10-minute flight. The New Shepard soared past the Kármán Line, which is commonly known as the altitude at which outer space begins, to a height of 66.52 miles. Last week, Bezos donated $200 million to renovate the National Air and Space Museum. The donation is the biggest gift in the Smithsonian’s history....

The Charismatic Enigma has consistently been one of the most popular Superstars in the entire company and enthralled and mesmerized millions of fans with his daredevil attitude and charming personality. Even at 40 years of age, Hardy still hasn’t lost a step and is as reckless and extreme as he was 20 years ago. He is one of the purest babyfaces in the business. The Younger Hardy could’ve been a top star in the company for a long time, had it not been for his numerous substance abuse issues and run-ins with the law....

In fact, Saryn Anderson, the wife of Carolina Panthers defensive end Henry Anderson, 31, contacted the 37-year-old beauty influencer to ask him to stop stoking rumors, as many were wrongly identified Star’s beau as her husband. Star has posted a photo of him holding hands with his new “NFL boo” on a private jet as they headed to the YouTube star’s sprawling 70-acre ranch in Casper, Wyoming. He then followed that with a mirror selfie, which showed the back of his mystery lover, along with a few teasing details which has sent internet sleuths down a few rabbit holes and, so far, seem to have come up with a number of wrong answers....

The cover photo shows Aniston, 53, in a simple black micro bikini top from a Chanel 1996 collection and a Saint Laurent skirt. The tagline on the cover beneath her name reads, “I don’t have anything to hide at this point.” On Wednesday, British broadcaster Piers Morgan tweeted the photo of the magazine cover, along with the caption, “Oh Jennifer… sooo tacky 🙈.” Fans of Aniston came to her defense in the replies of the tweet, one user writing, “She looks incredible what’s the problem”....

After months of unofficially dating and sending pop culture fans into meltdowns with snippets of their romance, Bennifer is up and running again. The rumors were all true—the former couple reignited their relationship earlier this year. They had been spotted on vacation together and the pop star was also seen not so subtly leaving the actor’s home. Endless pieces have been written about the nostalgia evoked by these two reuniting, how many of us have been transported back to 2002 when Ben and Jen were at the height of their fame, cavorting on yachts and offering a voyeuristic glimpse into their lavish lives....

Jamie gave birth to the couple’s new son, Hendrix, at home in early May at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. And while the baby arrived happy and healthy, the moments leading up to his grand debut was a particularly nerve-racking one for his dad Doug. In a Newsweek exclusive sneak peek of Episode 4 (above), Doug, seemingly on pins and needles, documents Jamie’s contractions with the personal cam and tries to comfort his wife who is very obviously in a great deal of pain....

The committee has embarked on a fishing expedition that has little to do with ascertaining any unknown facts about an event that took place live on television—leaving few, if any, unsolved mysteries for Congress to explore. It’s clear the committee exists to justify the hyperbolic claim that the riot was an “insurrection” or an attempted coup. What happened that day was clearly a chaotic and appalling mess, but not an orchestrated plot....

Kesrick Williams followed up an impressive bowling display in the first match of the series by taking 3-23 in Afghanistan’s 147-7 on Saturday. That total was more than enough for Rashid Khan’s men to make it 1-1, with all-rounder Janat claiming 5-11 - the second-best figures by an Afghanistan bowler in the shortest format - from his four overs as the Windies made only 106-8.

More than 630 people have been charged for roles in the insurrection and some guilty pleas have begun to pile in, but U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan said while giving the sentence that he doesn’t believe guilty pleas necessarily equate accountability. “It’s become evident to me that many of the defendants pleading guilty do not truly accept responsibility. They seem, to me, to be trying to get this out of the way as quickly as possible, stating whatever they have to say…but not changing their attitude,” Hogan said....

Graying and overweight, many of the engineers look nothing like the crack Imperial Army troops that terrorized much of the region nearly 50 years ago. That was the point. Their real job is to make sure nobody in Asia is reminded of World War II. Japan’s intense preoccupation with the deployment is a measure of just how gun-shy the country has become since its last foreign adventures led to catastrophe....

But, that isn’t the case with Cannonier, as he has labeled Strickland a ‘hero’ for his matter-of-fact way of calling people out during the UFC 276 press conference. ‘The Killa Gorilla’ appears to be a fan of Strickland’s antics, as he was quick to give ‘Tarzan’ respect while being interviewed by Helen Yee Sports. He said: Watch the video below from 2:30: Jared Cannonier didn’t point out anything, in particular, that Strickland did during the press conference, and seemed to be a fan of ‘Tarzan’s’ antics as a whole....

When Donald Trump announced his bid for president, “Jared got to work on his own agenda: He wanted to dig himself out of the debt he’d acquired buying the massive office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue and figured a higher profile with government ties might do the trick,” wrote journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis in a piece published by New York Magazine on Monday. “With the Qatari government, it eventually did, and he also wanted to strengthen America’s ties to Israel,” wrote Grigoriadis, who had 60 interviews with Ivanka Trump’s friends and colleagues and narrates the podcast “Tabloid: The Making of Ivanka Trump” which debuted Monday....

Momoa’s Duncan Idaho is a skilled warrior and protector. The behind-the-scenes Dune video shows long hours of repeating the same moves until the actors have the muscle memory down in preparation for when it’s time to film. The fight training for Dune is extensive, tiring, dangerous, and realistic in order to make for a combat scene that viewers can enjoy.
