(Warning: This story contains graphic allegations of sexual misconduct.) It’s clear now. During Deshaun Watson’s pathetic introductory news conference with the Cleveland Browns in March, as Browns general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke of having confidence in “Deshaun the person,” that very person claimed more than once he has “never assaulted, harassed or disrespected any woman in my life.” For good measure, he used his mother and her two sisters, his aunts, as a… Source link

Leaders at mega companies like Netflix (NFLX) and Disney (DIS) can no longer “straddle” the fence on cultural and political issues. “All I’m going to say is thank goodness I’m not the CEO of a major media company today,” Marc Randolph, who served as Netflix’s first CEO from its inception in 1997 to 2003, told Yahoo Finance in a new interview. “We have a country that is becoming more and more polarized. There’s people on either side.” “In the past, it was very straightforward to either ignore… Source link

The U.S. Open will permit Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and other players who have leaped away from the PGA Tour to compete next week at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. The move answers, at least in the short term, one of the key questions looming over the new LIV Golf tour: will players on that tour be able to compete in majors?
