There are plenty of other lowlights, including the equity issues that arose with the NCAA women’s basketball… Source link

Since taking the job as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Urban Meyer talked, both publicly and privately, about how he knew he was now working in the NFL, not in the fiefdoms of Ohio State or Florida. His players are now adults, not college kids. They have obligations, families, agents, contracts and experience. They also often have the confidence and power to voice their concerns and opinions.

Letter, 1/17: Facebook, Google suit a mistake | Letters

The recent LJS editorial (“Peterson deserves credit for leading on Facebook and Google suits”, Dec. 31) is misguided. As a small business owner who has survived the economic disruption of the pandemic with the assistance of free access to online services, I cannot think of a worse time for Attorney General Doug Peterson to attack technology companies. Doing so wastes taxpayer money and threatens the digital safety net that has been vital to the survival of small business during this… Source link
