Roger Goodell Colin Kaepernick, wishes the NFL 'had listened earlier'

 Roger Goodell Colin Kaepernick,  wishes the NFL 'had listened earlier'.

It's been nearly four years since we last saw Colin Kaepernick play in an NFL game. January 1, 2017 was that day, as Kaepernick and the 49ers lost 25-23 at Levi's Stadium to the Los Angeles Rams.

Kaepernick's protest and public spat with the NFL went all the way to court, and the quarterback seemingly has been blackballed from the league as a result.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, in a conversation with former NFL player and Fox Sports 1 analyst Emmanuel Acho, finally admitted Sunday that he wishes the NFL "had listened earlier" to what Kaepernick was championing with his decision to kneel during the national anthem.

UK debt 2 trillion, UK government spending on virus measures pushes. UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year,  said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists warned the situation would worsen before improving. Where do governments borrow money? It is the first time debt has been above 100% of gross domestic product (GDP) since the 1960-61 financial year, the ONS said. The July borrowing figure - the difference between spending and tax income - was £26.7bn, down from a revised £29.5bn in June. It was the fourth highest borrowing in any month since records began in 1993. The three higher figures were the previous three months. Those are big figures. What do they mean? Ruth Gregory, s...

 Canada government cyberattack, Hackers targeted thousands of CRA, government service. The federal government is warning Canadians not to reuse old passwords after thousands of accounts, including CRA logins, were targeted in a credential stuffing attack.

GCKey is the online authentication system that allows people access to Service Canada, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and more than two dozen other government departments.

Britney Spears father control, Singer emphatically asks the courts

Britney Spears father control, Singer emphatically asks the courts. Britney Spears has asked a court not to return her father to a role that gave him control over many aspects of her life and career. Jamie Spears has been his daughter's legal conservator for 12 years, due to concerns around her mental health. He temporarily stepped aside from the role overseeing her personal affairs in 2019, citing his own health problems. Some of Spears' fans believe she was forced into the arrangement, and have been running a #FreeBritney campaign. "Britney is strongly opposed to James' return as conservator of her person," according to a court document filed to the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles. It explained that the 38-year-old singer was in favour of the role, which she said had "rescued her from a collapse, exploitation by predatory individuals and financial ruin" and made her "able to regain her position as a world class entertainer"....
