So glad that MLB has kept the politics out of baseball.

"NFL officials appear unmotivated and don't share the same sense of urgency. Increasingly, the meetings appear unproductive at best and disingenuous at worst,” Okung said (via ESPN.com). “Furthermore, the ongoing disparagement of Colin Kaepernick is a factor needing remedy for the players and public to feel heard and for real progress to be made."

I suppose he wants the National Football League to just drop football and go full SJW. And I can't believe he himself wrote that statement.

What is social justice and why would a football league be able to effect it?

Those are very good questions and would love to hear the players answer them.

ESPN is planning another round of layoffs just six months after the network fired more than 100 employees, Sporting News reports.

Multiple sources told the sports news site that 40 to 60 people including on-air talent and radio personalities may be sent packing.

The layoffs could come as soon as late November or early December.

ESPN declined Fox News’ request for comment.
