I don't think I have read anything by him. I'll check the New Yorker. Do you have any information on title or themes I can search on?

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I'm not going to get too deep into this again after we ran this through the machine for a week on WX when the airing first happened, but Jalen Rose was speaking about how he felt as a teenager playing Duke. He specifically spoke about why that thought process was wrong and what the true motivation was for that feeling (that he did not realize at that time).Owlman wrote:IF he isn't going to address the code words on both sides, then he won't ever be effective. African-Americans recognize the code words on both sides. As for Jalen Rose, I roundly criticized his attitude when that 30-30 program came out.
Jimmy King, however, was unapologetic about how he felt then and did not give any indication that he felt differently today.
That author disappointed me by zeroing in on that 30 for 30, but not having a clue who to attribute the comments to. Lazy journalism.

Evidently you have to be a subscriber to read the New Yorker story...

Subscribe. The New Yorker is consistently a great read.

My mom has been a subscriber since before I was born. She has a bathroom in her house wallpapered with New Yorker covers she had saved over the years...

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I do enjoy their stories. I never have had a subscription, though. I guess I should explore it.
Surprisingly, I just realized I dated Junot's sister back in the day. I always knew he was a writer and his sister told me he had some work that was well received in 2008...but I never thought too much about it...and she always called him by his nickname, "Falafel." So, I never knew his real first name. When I was Googling looking for the New Yorker story, I ran into this fact that Junot and Falafel are one in the same. Funny.

I'm pretty sure if you follow the New Yorker Twitter Feed you will bypass the subscription
that strictly applies to the stories that are linked from the feed of course

If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Re: Florida State Seminoles
One of Cincinnati’s largest employers fired approximately 150 employees Wednesday for failing to get a required flu shot.
TriHealth offered all of its 10,800 employees free flu shots. Employees had a month to get the flu shot. The deadline was Nov. 16. Employees who did not get the shot were terminated Wednesday, a company spokesperson said.
Employees who were terminated can appeal to be reinstated after receiving the shot.

In most states, you can fire anyone for anything except for the 10 Fed-protected classes.

Here in Phoenix, if you work for Ping (Golf club company) you are terminated immediately if they see you smoking. I am not even kidding. No warning, just fired. They have extremely low health insurance costs at Ping and the biggest reason is that will not hire smokers.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Shit, I typed a whole response and my login got kicked out so the post didn't take. I'm not retyping it. The Cliff Notes:
I am more questioning whether it is legal to do so, not whether it happened. My guess is they protect themselves legally by offering the provision for employees to be reinstated after qualifying (getting the shot...but I bet to allow others to make their case...like a Christian Scientist, for instance...for exemption).
