Nick Chubb: No Workers Comp for Free Football Play

FanDuel Insider 10/10: Nick Chubb suffers apparent knee injury

It is truly disgusting to watch college football. How you all continue to do it is beyond me. I know, I know. You love the game of football.

Me, too. I just happen to have a conscience. And seeing what happened to Nick Chubb online (wasnt watching due to my self-imposed ban on college football) makes me even more determined to stay away from the college game.

At this point I do not know the severity of Chubbs injury, but it looked really freaking nasty. Like 12 months of rehab nasty.

I almost typed, dont know how long Chubb will be out of action. Thats pitiful.

As if the length of time he will be unable to play for Georgia is more important than how badly this young man is hurt. I guarantee that is the prevailing thought of all the Dawg fans though. d**n, I hope he doesnt miss the rest of the season.

Nick Chubb plays for free. Yes, he barters his football abilities for a college scholarship, but he gets no real money. That is a good trade for a guy that never touches the field. But for one of the top ten players in the nation, the deal is clearly unfair.

Seeing Todd Gurley go down last year in similar fashion got my blood boiling since he made the effort to come back after being suspended and was left hung out to dry by his school.

Now here we are again, not even a year later with another Heisman hopeful getting his leg jacked up.

When will these players learn? There is no point in risking injury when you are a top tier player. Nick Chubb would have been a first round draft pick as soon as he declared for the . Now that is up in the air. Im aware the NFL isnt perfect. They certainly arent player friendly, but at least they pay them for services rendered.

The may teach Nick Chubb enough to earn a degree, but he helps them sell thousands of tickets each week, even for meaningless games against Southern and ULM. Not to mention all that TV money that gets raked in because of superstars like Chubb.

As far as Im concerned, Nick Chubb is the most valuable employee at UGA. Yet he will receive no workers compensation for getting hurt on the clock. Fans will leave the game, mostly drunk, worrying about who will step up to take Chubbs place more than they worry about the man himself. Its all about the school and the teamexcept the team forgets about the guy who just got his NFL career put in jeopardy.

The team will suit up next week and keep rolling. will continue to cash huge checks, as will the athletic director at UGA. The TV crew will get paid for their work the rest of the season as they cover the remaining games.

And Nick Chubb will begin the lonely task of rehabbing his knee while cashing no checks.

There is a lesson to be learned here. Actually it should have been learned last year with Todd Gurley being punished by the football gods for his team loyalty.

That lesson? College athletes will continue to be screwed over until they unionizeeither formally or they just all decide to take a week or two off collectively. I would love to see the day ESPN and the like get hammered by advertisers who want a refund after all the college games are cancelled over a weekend.

Until that happens I must make a plea to parents all over the U.S. Do not let your child play running back! At best they get their head turned into a canoe over a long career. At worst they tear their knee up just before being able to enter a league that will actually pay them to work.

Unless little Johnny can play QB, punt, or kick consistently, parents should encourage their kids to play an easier sport. The odds are against the kid making it to the professional level anyway. As a running back, the odds are even whose. Just ask Todd Gurley and now Nick Chubb.

Next Pokmon GO news promised in "mid-October"

Discover Pokémon in the Real World with Pokémon GO!

The Pokmon Company International, Nintendo and Niantic raised eyebrows when Pokmon GO was announced. Their joint venture is to produce an augmented reality title for iOS and Android, promising to take your Pokmon journey into the wide world through location-based integration.

That will encourage players to take their adventure outdoors for the first time, but Slate raised concerns about interaction with malicious players, the dangers that Pokmon GO will know your location, and that data gathered could potentially be sold on to third parties.

Those are understandable worries for parents in particular. But, in reaching out to Niantic to comment on how they were being taken into consideration, the company revealed that more information would be shared in mid-October.

Were not quite ready to talk in more depth about Pokmon GO than what was revealed in the announcement press release and assets, Niantics representative Evan Dexter explained. Come mid-October well be able to start going into more depth about our plans for the game, and about our plans for real world gaming overall.

Were also still yet to hear about Nintendos first mobile title that was said to be releasing this year, produced as part of their business and capital alliance with DeNA.

Pokmon GO will be available for download at no charge on the App Store and Google Play in 2016.

Cathriona White to be buried in her native Tipperary on Saturday

Jim Carrey carries the coffin at ex-girlfriend Cathriona White"s funeral

Irish beauty therapist Cathriona White is to be buried in her native south Tipperary, on Saturday October 10th.

The 30-year-olds body was found in her LA home on September 28th last. She was the ex-girlfriend of Jim Carrey.

She is to be buried alongside her father Pat, at Cappawhite Cemetery. Mr White died in 2012 after a 20-year battle with brain cancer.

Mr Carrey, who became a box office hit through his movies Dumb and Dumber and The Truman Show, is expected to attend Ms Whites funeral.

The pair had broken up prior to Ms Whites death.

An autopsy has been carried out on her body, however results of toxicology tests will not be known for some weeks.

Ms White was an aspiring actress and was married to cameraman Mark Burton who is also expected to attend her funeral.

A large media presence is expected to be in Cappawhite to report on the funeral.

According to Cappawhite parish priest Fr Tadgh Furlong, Ms White missed her late fathers funeral three years ago as she was living illegally in the US at the time.

Ms Whites sister Lisa, and her stepmother Brd, are believed to have now returned to Cappawhite after they travelled to LA to repatriate her body.

Cathrionas mother Brigid, has also travelled to Cappawhite from England where she had been living for the past number of years.

Cathriona Whites body will be reposing at her grandfathers funeral home, Whites Funeral Home, in Cappawhite on Friday, from 5pm. Her removal will take place at 8pm to Our Lady of Fatima Church, Cappawhite.

Ms Whites requiem mass is to take place on Saturday at 11.30am, with burial afterwards in Cappawhite Cemetery.

Raven-Symone of "The View": I wouldn"t hire someone named "Watermelondrea"

Raven-Symone says she won"t hire someone with an "Africanized" name

Raven-Symon of The View has come under fire after admitting she discriminates against ghetto names like Watermelondrea.

The host, whos given name is Raven-Symon Christina Pearman, made the comment while discussing a new study about racial bias toward black-sounding names.

She said its not racist to treat people different based on their names, its discriminatory, Mediaite reported.

And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones they were saying in those names, Ms. Symon said, referring to examples of names in the popular YouTube video Top 60 Ghetto Black names.

Im not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. Its just not gonna happen. Im not gonna hire you, she said.

Her co-hosts did little to push back. Co-host Joy Behar added that white people often name their children after food Apple, Honey prompting her to suggest to parents they stop naming their children when theyre hungry, CNN reported.

Ms. Symons comment received backlash on social media and in opinion columns, with many people accusing the her of hypocrisy.

Raven seems to see no irony in supporting discrimination against non-traditional names while having a non traditional name AND appearance, one user wrote on Twitter.

Another tweeted, Raven-Symon name hits for the hood name cycle. It has two capital letters, a hyphen, alternative spelling choice, and an unnecessary accent.

In a column, titled Raven-Symon Rips Black Names, But Forgot About Her Own, EBONY Magazine senior writer Jamilah Lemieux pointed out the negative effects of dehumanizing people based on their names.

The whole world is trying to tear us apart and you want to discount the value of some other black person because she, TOO, has a black name, Raven hyphen alternate spelling of Simone? You got the nerve, Ms. Lemieux wrote.

We cant have a hierarchy of black names. You are either with your family, or you arent. Being named Naima or Aaliyah, Asha, or Imani, doesnt make you better or more sophisticated or more African than someone named Shatasha, and the people who are dumping Shatashas resume in the trash because of her name are happy to throw yours in there too, boo, Ms. Lemieux added.

Ebony.com contributing editor Damon Young said Ms. Symon added insult to injury by using Watermelondrea as her hypothetical name choice.

Only a person who associates blackness with badness would choose to disparage black names and choose to throw a stereotypical reference in there, too. Which, again, is absurd, because neither having a black name or enjoying watermelon while black are bad things! he wrote in his column, Raven-Symon Doesnt Like Black-Sounding Names? How Ironic.

Is There a Justin Bieber p***s Pic Double Standard at Play?

Skrillex and Diplo - "Where Are Ü Now" with Justin Bieber (Official Video)

So, Justin Bieber"s p***s***t the Internet yesterday...

And yet the sun set and we all lived to talk about it today. But Twitter was temporarily swept away in a cataclysmic cloud of just not knowing what to do with the 21-year-old heartthrob"s genitals making the rounds place once photos of him frolicking in the n**e in Bora Bora were obtained by the New York Daily News.

The NYDN of course did not post the pics without censoring Bieber"s bits, but yet there it was, his uncensored junk right at the top of our Twitter feeds thanks to someone who presumably felt that he or she was doing G*d"s work. Adam and Eve, you know? (Though even Adam is usually pictured with fig leaf...)

Anyway, many of the reactions were of the type you might expect, falling into several camps: There were those whose lives peaked on the spot. Then there were the snide, why-is-my-feed-full-of-Bieber"s-d**k responses. Similarly, there were others who just found the whole thing hilarious.

PHOTOS: Shirtless Justin Bieber

READ: Did LeBron James just flash his p***s during the NBA Finals?

And then there were those who benignly typed "Bieber" into their search fieldswe perhaps feel the worst for themand just weren"t ready to see such things.

But there were also many, many people rushing to Bieber"s defense in the wake of the leak, Beliebers worried for their boy"s privacy.

Some precious types even Photoshopped clothes onto the n***d pics that sported the name and release date of his next albumPurpose, Nov. 13.

And still others brought up an interesting question, though they might not have first noticed that not everyone was virtually hootin" and hollerin" about the big (yeah, sorry, pun intended) reveal: Was any positive reaction at all actually evidence of a disturbing double standard?

As in, women are put through the ringer when they voluntarily flaunt their bods and Bieber"s free-balling ways are being applauded. And, on the flip side, why was Bieber fair game in this case at all?

Let"s put it this way: We"re dealing in apples and oranges. Or apples and bananas, if you will.

Publications that hold themselves to certain standards usually seek the advice of counsel in such matters, and whether or not Bieber intended for anyone other than his sunbathing companionmodel Jayde Pierceto see him n***d at the time does not necessarily mean that he was in a place where he couldn"t expect others to get a glimpse.

But then of course you always have to consider who and what exactly it is that you"re dealing with. The Internet has proven that there"s basically an interest in everything, no matter how vile, so just because the public might want to know or see, that doesn"t mean you have to oblige.

PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus" n***d (and nearly n***d) pics

A photographer took and sold pictures of a t*****s Kate Middleton while she was sunning herself at a private estate, thereby committing a crime per the law of the landa scenario cloaked in red flag and distaste. Major celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera have had their clouds and phones hacked and n**e pictures that they absolutely should have been able to consider private were stolen from them. About as distasteful as it gets and, once again, crimes were committed.

But whatever you think of the Bieber photos and how they were taken, this situation is not the same as those instances, for multiple reasons.

And anyone who thinks that Kate, J.Law, ScarJo or Xtina brought the photo scandals upon themselves can suck it, because crimes were committed in the obtaining ofthose pictures. They were not complicit in the process.

So what sort of situation are we dealing with here, then?

To different extents, all of the ladies mentioned above live fiercely more private lives than Bieber does. Which also doesn"t mean that he doesn"t deserve privacy when he wants it; the point is that more times than not he willingly has let the outside in.

However, just as no one should get on a female celebrity"s case for n**e sunbathing or for having snapped a pic to show her boyfriend (that some creep later stole), no one should shame Bieber for walking around in the buff on his vacation. He was just livin" life.

And in this particular case, his fans also shouldn"t get themselves into a twist worrying about him all of a sudden getting too much exposure.

READ: The best response to Lenny Kravitz accidentally flashing his p***s mid-concert was easily...

While everyone and their aunt has an opinion about the Bieber pics, one person we haven"t heard from is Bieber himself. One, he"s seen his p***s before, so no big deal there. Two, if he didn"t learn that everyone wants a piece of him after a Brazilian girl filmed him sleeping and slapped that video online, it"s highly likely that he just doesn"t care. He"s been willingly on video smoking, drinking and engaging in other normal yet bad-boy-"cause-he"s-a-celebrity behavior. How many down-to-the-pubic-bone shirtless pics had we already seen of him?

Though he"s had his concerns about the bad-boy perception of him, he doesn"t seem to mind attention. (And like any healthy 21-year-old man-child, he probably has quite the affinity for his own junk.)

Bieber may still be young, but he"s a grown man and, contrary to what some haters may say, he"s no dummy. There"s even a wee bit of speculation out there that he knew exactly what he was doing...

Either way, though, just like in a court of law, each case has to be considered on its merit or lack thereof. No one should be blamed/shamed for being the victim of a crime (as, unfortunately, certain critics implied regarding J.Law, et al.) and Bieber shouldn"t be judged if he expected one thing and got another or if he"s fine being photographed n***d.

And people, even celebrities, should ideally feel free to live their lives as if no one"s watching. But they know all too well that that simply isn"t the case.
