Colin Kaepernicks Reveals First Wave Of Donations For ‘Million Dollar Pledge’

Share this: Colin Kaepernick didn’t exercise his right to vote in the general election, but it appears he’s making good on his promise to make a difference in the community. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who has protested during national anthems this season to protest racial inequality in America, said back in September he’d donate the first $1 million he makes this season to organizations that could help promote social justice. On Friday, Kaepernick took to Instagram to give an update on the “Million Dollar Pledge.” The QB’s website, Kaepernick7.com, details the donations Kaepernick made in October and what he plans to do in November. Kaepernick donated $25,000 each in October to four different organizations: Silicon Valley De-Bug in San Jose, Causa Justa in

David Ross Makes History To Help Cubs Keep World Series Hopes Alive

David Ross Makes History To Help Cubs Keep World Series Hopes Alive

The Chicago Cubs have lived to see another day, and they have their 39-year-old catcher in part to thank. The Cubs staved off elimination at Wrigley Field on Sunday night, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in Game 5 of the World Series to force a Game 6 in Cleveland on Tuesday. David Ross was right in the thick of the action, delivering what proved to be the game-winning RBI in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Ben Zobrist from third base. That run gave Chicago a 3-1 lead, and while the Indians made it 3-2 in the sixth with a Francisco Lindor RBI single, Cubs closer

How have Scottish clubs fared against English sides?

How have Scottish clubs fared against English sides?

Scottish fans have cause for alarm as Manchester City visit Celtic for the first time on matchday two, and not just because Josep Guardiola's side have won all of their games this season.The recent history of club matches between English and Scottish teams makes grim reading for fans north of the border. Scotland's representatives are without a win in their last ten encounters with English clubs (D4 L6) since Shunsuke Nakamura's goal at Parkhead earned Celtic a 1-0 victory against Manchester United in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage. However, the overall statistics in the 40 UEFA games between

Bill Belichick Confirms He’s A Football Coach, Not A Doctor, In Spat With Report…

Share this: UPDATE (12:35 p.m.): The reporter, Dave Brown of the Concord Monitor, reached out to clarify his intentions. Brown said his intention was to seek out real answers. Brown was quoted by Forbes in August as saying, “To use a football analogy, Bill Walsh respected Buddy Ryan’s 46 defense, but had to figure out a way to get around it. So for the last eight years, I’ve been thinking: ‘Is there a way to get (Belichick) off his game plan?’” Brown clarified that answer by saying, “Yeah, his game plan to avoid answering my questions. I’m not going pretend his illogical answer was logical.” ORIGINAL STORY: FOXBORO, Mass. — A reporter went out of his way to get Bill Belichick’s goat Tuesday and accomplished

Michael Phelps Spent The First Day Of His Olympic Retirement In A Pool

Share this: If you spent nearly three decades working at McDonald’s, chances are your first meal upon leaving wouldn’t be a Big Mac. But try telling that to the most decorated Olympian of all time. Michael Phelps recently announced his retirement from swimming after racking up six more medals (five gold), at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. After a grueling Olympic schedule, Phelps returned home to the U.S., where one of the first items on his agenda was enjoying some much-needed R&R — in a pool. Of course, Phelps isn’t exactly swimming a 100-meter final here — he’s lounging with his fiancée, Nicole, and their baby son, Boomer. And it makes sense that the 31-year-old would feel comfortable in a setting where he’s spent so much of

Red Sox Notes: Mookie Betts Breaks Out; Eduardo Rodriguez Makes Rehab Strides

BOSTON — With the way Jackie Bradley Jr. and Xander Bogaerts have been hitting, it’s easy to forget about Mookie Betts sometimes. But it was impossible to ignore the Red Sox right fielder Saturday at Fenway Park. That’s because Betts was a one-man wrecking crew against the Cleveland Indians, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and a career-high five RBIs to carry Boston’s offense in a 9-1 blowout win. All three of his hits went for extra bases: A rocket double off the Green Monster in the third inning, a solo homer in the fourth and a grand slam to top it all off in the seventh. “He’s got such lightning bat

Sidney Crosby Makes Jeremy Roenick Eat Words With Game-Winning Goal

Sidney Crosby has amazing talent, but that didn’t stop former NHL player and current NBC Sports hockey analyst Jeremy Roenick from criticizing the Pittsburgh Penguins star during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final. And it didn’t take very long for these choice words to come back and bite Roenick. Roenick picked a rather unfortunate night to rip Crosby for his effort, as the center evened the series with the Tampa Bay Lightning at one game apiece with his game-winning goal 40 seconds into overtime in the Penguins’ 3-2 win. That certainly looked like plenty of effort on that play. Thumbnail photo via Charles LeClaire/USA ...
