Yesterday the Supreme court ruled that an employer who fires a worker for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
This already protected people from their employers based on their religion, race, and sex but now will help employers who are apart of the LGBTQ community.
The 6-3 decision comes at the perfect time while we are all celebrating pride month together!
This is a huge win for the LGBTQ community and for workers all across the country.
Dave Chappelle created a brand new comedy special in the coronavirus world responding to the murder of George Floyd and it is amazing.
He titled it 8:46, which was the amount of time that George Floyd was under a police officers knee when he was murdered.
Even thought the subject matter is hard, and there are so many restrictions put in place to put this show on, it is still nice to see a comedian perform again.
Really think about it, what is the purpose of deer?
They are kind of the worst.
They just stand around and run into cars, kind of a skumbag move in my opinion.
Here’s a great example, this lovely couple was just trying to go camping with their nice new (and probably expensive) camper and this deer decided to put an end to that real quick.
All I’m saying is maybe we should consider banning deer…
Man’s best friend may help in the fight against the Cornavirus with a recent project launched at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine which is hoping to train dogs to sniff out humans to determined whether or not you have been infected. Dogs with their super sense of smell and effective training could possibly detect the virus in people who asymptomatic or catch the virus in someone early on before they show symptoms. The hope is this could be used to screen a lot more faster and at a greater rate of detection. Check out this video from Mashiable for more.
Professor James Logan who is working on the plan, stated that when fully trained the dogs have had success in prior screenings for Malaria and could potentially screen 250 people per hour. He also noted the welfare of the dogs is being deeply addressed to prevent them from being armed or spreading the virus themselves.
“We conclude that there is a very high evidence that the armpits sweat odour of COVID-19+ persons is different, and that dogs can detect a person infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus” says a recent medical study published on June 5th by biorixv.org.
Major League Soccer will be the first major men’s sports league to hit the field in the United States with the ‘MLS is Back’ Tournament. The 54 game tournament is taking place in Orlando, Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex starting on July 8th. Like all pro sports, MLS suspended play in March but this move puts the growing league in a unique position ahead of the NBA, NHL, and MLB who are all mulling over plans to get their games back on..
Chicago Fire broadcaster and former U.S Men’s National team goalkeeper Tony Meola joined Pat McAfee to breakdown the tourney and how it helps the sport but it will have a lot of challengers for players living in isolation during the lengthy tourney. You can watch that discussion in the video above.
Group stage games count towards the regular season records, and there will be a big prize money. The games will have 5 substitutions. All of the games will be streamed across several networks. Three games will air daily at 8am CST, 7pm CST, and 9:30pm CST. The final will be on August 11th. The tournament draw was held online last week.
ESPN FC dug deeper with former players in how important the tournament is for soccer, the risk of injuries, and more.
