NFLPA hires David White as interim executive director, replacing Lloyd HowellNew Foto - NFLPA hires David White as interim executive director, replacing Lloyd Howell

The NFL Players Association has a new leader. The NFLPA on Sunday night announced the hiring of David White to take over as the interim executive director in a move that was necessitated by the stunningresignation of Lloyd Howell Jr. on July 17. pic.twitter.com/IpOrP8jX50 — NFLPA (@NFLPA)August 4, 2025 The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that JC Tretter, the union's chief strategy officer, and Don Davis, the chief player officer,emerged as the lead candidatesfollowing Howell's departure. Tretter laterresigned from his position. NFLPA CONTROVERSY EXPLAINED:What to know about grievances, Lloyd Howell, next steps One union official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation, said that a voting player representative from all 32 teams participated in the Board vote. The person also said that on the final short list of candidates, there were multiple internal candidates and multiple external ones. The Board conducted interviews with each candidate over the last two weeks, and the process was player-led and voted on by the Board. The person also said that ultimately, the Board voted on their elected candidate this evening. NFLPA leadership initially expressed their supportfor Howell, but the fallout from the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast's release of a 61-page arbitration report proved to be too much. The report revealed the NFLPA agreed to keep the arbitration decision from earlier this year about potential collusion by the league confidential – despite evidence that "commissioner Roger Goodell and former general counsel Jeff Pashinstructed teams at the March 2022 league meeting to limit guaranteed moneyin players' contracts." Howell was later found to be apaid, part-time consultantfor the private-equity firm The Carlyle Group since March 2023, as reported by ESPN. It highlighted a potential conflict of interest as the group was given approval by the NFL to seek a minority ownership stake in a team. More revelations regarding Howell's conduct have come to light following his resignation. On July 18, ESPN reported thatHowell submitted expense reportscharging the union for two visits to strip clubs. The former leader's controversial tenure was short-lived and came to an end just over two years following his hiring on June 28, 2023. Now White will be tasked with cleaning up the mess that was left behind in addition to restoring trust between the union and its membership. They won't have the luxury of time, however, as training camps are already underway and the regular season is fast approaching. NFL writer Chris Bumbaca contributed to this story.

Pakistan wins 3rd T20 by 13 runs to clinch a 2-1 series victory over West IndiesNew Foto - Pakistan wins 3rd T20 by 13 runs to clinch a 2-1 series victory over West Indies

LAUDERHILL, Fla. (AP) — Saim Ayub posted a half-century in a 138-run opening stand with Sahibzada Farhan and then took a key wicket as Pakitsan beat West Indies by 13 runs Sunday to clinch the Twenty20 cricket series 2-1. Pakistan posted 189-4 and then bowled tightly enough to restrict West Indies to 176-6. Pakistan's opening partnership ended when Farhan was out for 74 runs in the 17th over, his 53-ball innings finishing when he hit a low full-toss from Shamar Joseph (1-57) directly to Shai Hope at long-off. Ayub continued until the last ball of the penultimate over of Pakistan's innings, when he hit a full ball from Jason Holder (1-34) to Sherfane Rutherford in the covers and was out for 66 from 49 deliveries. West Indies raced to 33-0 after two overs in reply, taking 16 off the first over from Hasan Ali and 17 in the second from Mohammad Nawaz. Haris Rauf slowed the run-rate in the third over, which only went for five runs, and then snared the first West Indies wicket when he had Jewel Andrew (24 from 15 deliveries) caught by Hasan Ali in the fifth over with the total at 44. Alick Athanaze scored 60 from 40 deliveries, sharing further partnerships of 30 with Hope (7) and 36 with Rutherford until he mis-timed a fuller, faster delivery from Ayub and was caught at short thirdman. At that point, West Indies slipped to 110-3 in the 13th over. Rutherford kept West Indies in the contest with 51 from 35 balls but his dismissal in the last over ended any chance of a comeback win. The series was tied 1-1 going into the decider after Jason Holder took four wickets and then smashed a boundary off the final ball of the second game to lift West Indies toa thrilling two-wicket victoryon Saturday. It was the first T20 victory for West Indies in seven matches, a span that included a heavy5-0 series defeat to Australia, on top of a test series sweep last month. Pakistan won the series-opener by 14 runs. Both teams travel to the Caribbean for a series of three one-day internationals. ___ AP cricket:https://apnews.com/hub/cricket

The business icon took to Instagram to share glimpses of her special day while also building anticipation among her millions of followers with hints about a "surprise" announcement.

NFLPA hires David White as interim executive directorNew Foto - NFLPA hires David White as interim executive director

Less than three weeks after NFL Players Association executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. resigned amid numerous allegations of impropriety, the union elected David White as it interim executive director on Sunday. White is the chief executive officer of consulting firm 3CG Ventures and the former national executive director and chief negotiator of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA). He was a finalist for the NFLPA post when a the board of 32 player representatives elected Howell in June 2023, according to multiple media reports. NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin said in a statement regarding the move by the Board of Player Representatives to appoint White, "This decision is the result of a comprehensive, player-led process. We understood the urgency to fill this role and did our due diligence to identify the right person to lead our union in this moment. "We have full faith in David to take the union forward and operate in the best interests of our membership. David has spent much of his career fighting for collectively bargained rights in the labor movement and is committed to putting players first in all the union does. We are confident that he will inspire solidarity and provide the necessary stability during this period of transition." White added in a statement, "I am grateful to the NFLPA's player leadership for entrusting me with the privilege and responsibility to guide their union as interim executive director. It's a duty I do not take lightly, and I'm committed to reestablishing trust and ensuring the union is serving its members best. I look forward to working with the entire NFLPA team to protect players' health and safety, secure their financial well-being, and further strengthen their voice to shape their futures." Howell stepped down on July 17 to no longer be a "distraction" for the NFLPA. During his tenure, he allegedly reached a confidentiality agreement with the NFL over a collusion case, worked for a private equity firm approved to pursue NFL minority ownership stakes and made inappropriate charges to the union, include a strip club visit. Former NFLPA president JC Tretter, considered a possible replacement for Howell, resigned from his job as the NFLPA's chief strategy officer after Howell's exit. Tretter was viewed as instrumental in getting the union to hire Howell, who also left a previous job at Booz Allen, where he was reportedly accused of sexual discrimination. --Field Level Media

F1 'silly season' puts Red Bull, Mercedes and Cadillac on the spotNew Foto - F1 'silly season' puts Red Bull, Mercedes and Cadillac on the spot

It's time for Formula 1's risk-taking drivers, overworked engineers and harried team principals to relax. At least in theory. With four weeks until the next race, including a mandatory 14-day shutdown of all racing operations from next week, the F1 season is on hold. It's what F1 calls "silly season," the time when contract talks — and rumors — fill the vacuum. It often seemed like silly season started early amid feverish speculation about a move from Red Bull to Mercedes for four-time champion Max Verstappen. Now that Verstappen hasconfirmedhe's staying with Red Bull, other decisions — such as contract renewals at Mercedes — could speed up. Russell at Mercedes Most F1 teams saw the sweeping rule changes coming for 2026 and tied down key drivers to long contract extensions last year, or even the year before. The idea was to lock in experienced drivers who could help with development throughout 2025, so the very different 2026 cars wouldn't come as a surprise. Mercedes does things a little differently. As well as checking out a potential Verstappen move, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has waited on contract extensions for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, who aren't confirmed beyond 2025. Both went through Mercedes' young driver program, which helped them through the junior series and seemingly gives the team more control over their careers. "Mercedes manage me as well, so it's not really a deadline in my hands as such," four-time GP winner Russell said last month, adding he'd had no talks with other teams. Antonelli started his debut F1 season strongly but the 18-year-old driver's performances have dipped in recent months. Red Bull's other seats Verstappen's decision has taken a lot of pressure off, but the broader Red Bull organization still has three seats to fill — one at Red Bull and two at Racing Bulls. It's not clear who will take the final decision, and when, after longtime team principalChristian Horner was fired. If the logic behind dropping the underperforming Sergio Perez last year was that any Red Bull replacement would do better, it's been proved wrong. Liam Lawson lasted two races as Verstappen's teammate andYuki Tsunodahas only scored points in three of 12 race weekends since his promotion. The team's engine partnership with Honda ends this year, which could affect Honda-backed Tsunoda's place. French rookie Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls has outscored both Tsunoda and Lawson this season and might be the frontrunner for the Red Bull seat. F1's governing body, the FIA, made an exception to grant Red Bull-backed Formula 2 driver Arvid Lindblad its super license in June before his 18th birthday. Cadillac is coming "That's actually a nice seat... I wouldn't mind." Valtteri Bottas' comments in asocial media skitin June fawning over a Cadillac road car went viral and cemented him in many fans' minds as the front-runner to join the new General Motors-backed team for 2026. Bottas and Perez are both F1 race winners, popular with fans, who had underwhelming seasons in 2024 and aren't racing in 2025. Their experience might be a boost to a new team, though other reported options include Ferrari reserve Zhou Guanyu, an ex-Sauber driver who could unlock big sponsor backing from China, or ex-Haas driver Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher. The Alpine carousel Ruthless? Yes. Successful? No. Alpine benched the departing Esteban Ocon for Jack Doohan for the last race of 2024, then dropped Doohan for Franco Colapinto six races into 2025. Given that neither Doohan nor Colapinto has scored a point for Alpine, it's perhaps no wonder the team hasn't confirmed who'll partner Pierre Gasly next year. One option is Alpine reserve Paul Aron, who'd be the first Estonian in F1. He's had two practice drives with Sauber this year but was unlucky last week when his car broke down Friday after just eight laps. ___ AP auto racing:https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing

Drag Race legend Jinkx Monsoon delivers brutal takedown of JK Rowling's pen nameNew Foto - Drag Race legend Jinkx Monsoon delivers brutal takedown of JK Rowling's pen name

RuPaul's Drag RacewinnerJinkx Monsoonhas brutally mockedJK Rowling'sviews ontransgender people. The author, 60, has been publicly criticized for her controversial statements about transgender people, including celebrating the UKSupreme Court's April rulingthat trans women are not legally women under theEquality Act. However, theHarry Potterauthor hasdenied being transphobic. Many famous faces have hit back at Rowling's views, including Monsoon, who identifies as non-binary. During Thursday's episode of comedian Ziwe's podcast, he asked Monsoon if Rowling would "make a good Roxy Hart inChicago," the Broadway musical. The drag performer responded: "Who is this? Who is this Jake? Who is he? JK Rowling." When Ziwe said Rowling "is a she," Monsoon then mocked the author's name. Rowling notably goes by her initials, JK, which stands for Joanne Kathleen. "That is not a feminine name in the slightest," they said about Rowling. "I know that oftentimes, female authors use initials so that people assume it's a male writer." Monsoon continued to throw shade at Rowling's views about transgender rights and issues. "I have to presume that J.K. Rowling was unsatisfied with the way that the world saw her, and then she transitioned herself into a new personality so that the world would perceive her the way she wanted to be perceived," they continued. After a moment of silence, Ziwe responded to the remark with: "Gagging," prompting Monsoon to burst out laughing. Rowling has previously opened up about going by the pen name, tellingCNNin 2017 that it wasn't her idea to use it. Instead, it was her publisher who was trying to "disguise [her] gender." "I was so grateful to be published, if they told me to call myself Rupert, I probably would have done to be honest with you," she said. "But now, I actually quite like having a pen name, because I feel that's — to an extent, that feels like an identity and then I'm — in private life, I'm Jo Murray. And it feels like quite a nice separation." Rowling also uses the pen name Robert Galbraith when publishing her ongoing detective series, Cormoran Strike. She uses the pseudonym because she "wanted to take [her] writing persona as far away as possible from [her]," as noted on herwebsite. Since December 2019, Rowling has also hit the headlines for her views on transgender issues. She came out in support ofMaya Forstater, who worked as a tax expert at the Centre for Global Development, an international think tank, and was sacked after tweeting that transgender people cannot change their biological sex. Since then, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, the trio of child actors who played Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger in the film series, have all publicly shunned Rowling over her apparent anti-transgender views. The author has said she would not forgive them for criticizing her,telling them to "save their apologies." Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, was recently askedwhether Rowling's views"impact you at all or impact your work in the world of Harry Potter at all." "No, I can't say it does," he replied. "I'm not really that attuned to it." In May, Rowling announced the launch of theJ.K. Rowling Women's Fund.The legal fund, which doesn't specifically mentiontransgender people,will support "individuals and organizations fighting to retain women's sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces," its website says. However, many bookstores in San Franciscolater responded to the fund in with protest bypullingHarry Potterbooks from stores' shelves.
