Colin Kaepernick knelt 10 years ago. America responded with a clear warning to Black people | Howard Bryant

A decade after Kaepernick’s quiet protest shook the NFL, his exile looks less like an aberration than a blueprint for the culture war that followed raccoongame.org

America likes nice round numbers, perfect for anniversaries and reflections, and it has, suddenly, been 10 years since Colin Kaepernick first protested police killings – more accurately, police killings of Black people that went unpunished either internally or by the courts – by taking a knee during the national anthem for the entirety of the 2016 NFL regular season. He never played in the league again.

Ten years covers a lot of ground, especially in these years of American darkness, and many of the important details surrounding Kaepernick, his banishment and significance have disappeared, time replaced by more time and more darkness – time moving faster than ever, at internet speed, where nothing matters, where nothing sticks. We consume by clip, by click, by meme, and knowledge by meme is not knowledge at all.

Kong Haralds gravferd påvirker Oslo maraton

De ekstraordinære omstendighetene knyttet til kong Haralds bortgang fører til endring for deltakerne i Oslo maraton.
Gravferden 9. september gjør at startnummerutdelingen flyttes fra Rådhusplassen til Sirkustomta på Tøyen.
Oslo kommune og politiet har i samråd med arrangøren kommet fram til en løsning som de mener sikrer at maratonen kan gjennomføres som planlagt 12. september, heter det i en pressemelding.
Kong Harald gikk bort fredag 28. august, og gravferden finner sted i Oslo førstkommende onsdag. De omfattende forberedelsene og sikkerhetstiltakene i hovedstaden gjør at Oslo maraton ikke får nødvendig tilgang til Rådhusplassen i forkant av arrangementet. (NTB)

Barcelona Win but Target Álvarez

Barcelona continued their strong form with a convincing 5-2 win against Rayo Vallecano, with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal each contributing two goals. Anthony Gordon also impressed in the attacking trio, showcasing fluid link-up play that delighted coach Hansi Flick.

Despite the victory, Barcelona remains keen on securing a center-forward, with Julián Álvarez being the ultimate target. While Gabriel Jesus has recently joined from Arsenal, Flick described Álvarez as "the ultimate prize" as the transfer deadline approaches.

Finnish Skiing Star Niskanen Retires

Finlands cross-country skiing veteran Kerttu Niskanen (38) has decided to hang up her skis after 20 years of professional competition. Niskanen has secured eight individual World Cup victories, including the distance cup in 2023, and has accumulated five Olympic medals throughout her career.

Despite her impressive achievements, Niskanen never won Olympic gold, coming closest in Beijing 2022 where she earned silver after being narrowly defeated by Therese Johaug by just four tenths. In her retirement announcement on Instagram, Niskanen reflected on her journey: "I have had the privilege of competing in cross-country skiing at a professional level for an incredible 20 years. The journey has included countless climbs, victory celebrations, experiences, development, challenges and defeats - everything that competitive sports entails."
