HARTE: Praise of Fiserv Forum fails to consider union workers

HARRINGTON: Tillman, Kaepernick not at odds

Reilly Harrington, Opinions Columnist • September 11, 2018
Contemporary critics of Colin Kaepernick and Nike’s new ad campaign use both Pat Tillman’s image and military service to distort Kaepernick’s protests into anti-military demonstrations, a far cry from Kaepernick’s intentions. The image of Tillman as the “Anti-Kaepernick” is both reductive and disrespectful to Tillman’s life and legacy.

HARRINGTON: Jacksonville opens door for multi-faceted dialogue

Reilly Harrington, Opinions Columnist • September 4, 2018
Should people be put in harms way because we won’t sit down and have a multi-faceted conversation about toxic masculinity, how we talk about mental illness and most importantly, actual gun control legislation? The time for games is over, now is the time to talk.

BEG: Rohingya genocide deserves UN action

Aminah Beg • September 4, 2018
By simply declaring the horrendous and terrible actions completed by Myanmar militant forces legitimate on a global scale, other countries and civilians can acknowledge, and hopefully help prevent, the tragedy.
