NCAA try to save face

The NCAA has finally come with the times and is now acting to "embrace change" by allowing college athletes to be paid for use of their name image and likeness. This is not a new problem and has been talked about and made fun of for years and years. Even the Olympics, the most prestigious sporting event in history, has allowed athletes to participate and sponsored for more than 30 years.

Their justification for such behavior is the police have labeled protesters as rioters and not as rally groups protesting peacefully. This skew in definitions has allowed for unjust arrests and has forced protesters at the front line to conceal their identity whenever protesting. People have also been wearing gas masks and googles due to the police using heavy amounts of tear gas as well as another way for the protesters to hide their faces. Also, any cameras throughout the city can be used by the police with face recognition software to try and identify a protester increasing the need to conceal their identity....
