The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies. In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability. "Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP This is about more than sports. It’s about justice.

Takeaway from this week: The South wants everything to look like 1964 — besides SEC football.


A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

Good morning @OfficialNBARefs

NEW: A Tennessee school board member is standing by his comments after telling a high schooler, "God, you’re hot," during a meeting. No one was seen challenging Washington County official Keith Ervin after he made the comment and put his arm around the girl. "God you’re hot, you know that? Where do you go to school at?" he said. Ervin is standing by his remarks after receiving backlash from the community, says he was impressed by her "smart questions." "I mean, I was impressed and the other board members was impressed because of the question she asked," he said to a local news outlet. "And, you know, I’m old school. I’m an old farm boy. And I didn’t mean nothing by anything. I just was proud of her." Ervin claims there is a lot of "context missing" from the viral videos. Thousands of people have since signed a petition demanding his removal.

Austin Reaves and the Lakers just had a meeting with the refs after the game to share their frustration with them.
