Kaepernick is GQ Citizen of the Year
WASHINGTON, Nov 14, (RTRS): The co-owners of the New York Giants issued a statement in support of head coach Ben McAdoo on Monday.

The Kansas City Chiefs released defensive tackle Roy Miller, two days after he was arrested in Jacksonville, Fla, and charged with domestic battery of his wife.
“We did release Roy and we’re going to move on from that,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters, declining to answer further questions about Miller being waived. “I can’t really talk about anything from a legal standpoint, so I’m going to just
leave it at that.”
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a controversial figure who started a movement to kneel during the national anthem before NFL games as a protest against racial inequality, has been named “Citizen of the Year” by GQ magazine.

Durant and actress Gal Gadot.
