another way to
generate revenue.
He reportedly has been of- fered $1 million by one of Random House's imprints, One World, to publish a book.
This is the same publish- ing company that has previ- ously published books by Jay-Z, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and other notables in the African American commu- nity. Colin's new book, how- ever, has not yet been given a title, but no doubt, it will be about his heroic actions that have brought nationwide at- tention to the injustices that African Americans have to deal.
Last year, Colin began protesting during the na- tional anthem to highlight police brutality and systemic discrimination. But his protesting was silently done
Deontay Wilder
in the form of kneeling, and soon after, many other NFL players were inspired to do the same.
The protest has inspired a popular hashtag #takethekneel, and has even become the topic of several controversial tweets sent out by President Donald Trump himself.
Meanwhile, Colin has re- mained unemployed with the NFL since initiating the protest, and he has recently filed a grievance against the NFL accusing team owners of colluding to keep him out of the league.
Pursuing his goals as an entrepreneur, Colin is also selling merchandise bearing his name, slogans, and mes- sages via his official web site at www.kaepernick7.com.
Bryant Gumbel Is Chosen
Shows No Mercy
In Rematch With
Bermane Stiverne
Deontay Wilder
showed no
mercy for Bermane
Stiverne in
their rematch
at Barclays
Center in
Brooklyn on WILDER Saturday night.
Before showing the high- light, you need to understand that with his win, Wilder is now 39-0 with 38 KOs in his boxing career. The only blemish on his record occurred in his first fight with Stiverne, who became the only fighter to avoid a knockout loss to Wilder.
This time around, Wilder made sure he ended the fight early.
Wilder brutalized Stiverne with three knock- downs in the first round of their fight before things were finally called. The Bronze Bomber was clearly going for Stiverne’s head and did not hold back.
After his win, Wilder called out Anthony Joshua.
“I’ve been waiting on that fight for a long time now,” Wilder told Showtime’s Jim Gray, of facing Anthony Joshua. “I declare war upon you. Do you accept my chal- lenge? I’ve been waiting for a long time. I know I’m the cham- pion. I know I’m the best. Are you up for the test?
“A king doesn’t chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want Joshua. If he doesn’t give me the fight we have other plans. The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua. Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more ex- cuses. Make the date, don’t wait.”
