NFL And Roc Nation Partnership Can Spur Urban Investment, Purge Bad Cops

NFL And Roc Nation Partnership Can Spur Urban Investment, Purge Bad Cops - Video

NFL And Roc Nation Partnership Can Spur Urban Investment, Purge Bad Cops The announcement of the Roc Nation / NFL Partnership was met with a largely negative response but if you read the press release, Colin Kaepernick and other should be excited. In particular the part about having NFL Players designate places in their cities that would be the focus of Roc Nation / NFL Initiatives was based on a conversation I had with NFL Executives during the NFL Annual Meeting. Thank you for listening. But I believe the Roc Nation / NFL effort should be also to bring back a form of the NFL Youth and Education Towns - only this time make sure The Boys and Girls Clubs run them and not the NFL. The Towns should have areas where students can learn how to make things: not just music but websites and videos to promote tunes, networks, wood furniture, and have classes in welding and programming languages. You get the picture. Finally, a Junior Achievement style program should teach kids how to start and run a business. Then, there should be a place where the neighborhood can report and out bad preditor police officers and have them removed from service. That would fulfill some of what Colin Kaepernick was after when he started the National Anthem Protest. A great and exciting start. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
