What did Trump and Putin agree to?
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The NFL’s two-month old national anthem policy is on hold. Hours after The Associated Press reported that Miami Dolphins players who protest on the field during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued this week, the league and the players union issued a joint statement late Thursday night saying the two sides are talking things out. “The NFL and NFLPA, through recent discussions, have been working on a resolution to the anthem issue. In order to allow this constructive dialogue to continue, we have come to a standstill agreement on the NFLPA’s grievance and on the NFL’s anthem policy. No new rules relating to the anthem will be issued or enforced for the next several weeks while these confidential discussions are ongoing,” the statement read. “The NFL and NFLPA reflect the great values of America, which are repeatedly demonstrated by the many players doing extraordinary work in communities across our country to promote equality, fairness and justice. Our shared focus will remain on finding a solution to the anthem issue through mutual, good faith commitments, outside of litigation.” The issue has dominated headlines over the past two seasons, caused division and alienated some fans. The NFL rule that was passed in May forbid players from sitting or taking a knee if they are on the field or sidelines during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” but allowed them to stay in the locker room if they wish. The policy said teams would be fined if players didn’t stand during the anthem while on the field. The league left it up to teams on how to punish players. None of the team policies had been made public until the AP obtained a copy of Miami’s nine-page discipline document. It included a one-sentence section on “Proper Anthem Conduct” and was provided to the AP by a person familiar with the policy who insisted on anonymity because the document is not public. It classifies anthem protests under a large list of “conduct detrimental to the club,” all of which could lead to a paid or unpaid suspension, a fine or both. The Dolphins said in a statement: “The NFL required each team to submit their rules regarding the anthem before their players reported to training camp. We will address this issue once the season starts. All options are still open.” Miami can choose not to issue any suspension nor fine any player guilty of “conduct detrimental to the club.” Other violations under that label include drug use or possession, gambling, breaking curfew and riding motorcycles as a driver or passenger from the start of camp until the last game of the season. Jets acting owner Christopher Johnson said shortly after the league announced its policy that he will not punish his players for any peaceful protests — and would pay any potential fines incurred by the team as a result of his players’ actions. The new league rules were challenged this month in a grievance by the players union. The NFLPA said the NFL policy, which the league imposed without consultation with the players union, is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement and infringes on player rights. Now, the two sides are hoping to reach a solution without litigation. Dolphins veteran receiver Kenny Stills took a knee with a hand on his heart during the anthem throughout last season. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips put his arm around Stills before one game. Two other players who knelt — safety Michael Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas — are no longer with the team. Defensive end Robert Quinn, who raised his fist during the anthem while with the Rams, is now with the Dolphins. “Players who are on the field during the Anthem performance must stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem,” says the 16th and final bullet point on Miami’s list of conduct considered detrimental, below disparaging teammates, coaches or officials including NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The NFL started requiring players to be on the field for the anthem in 2009 — the year it signed a marketing deal with the military. In 2016, then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem, and the demonstration spread to other players and teams. Critics led by President Donald Trump called the players unpatriotic and even said NFL owners should fire any player who refused to stand during the anthem. Some players countered that their actions were being misconstrued and that they are seeking social change rather than protesting the anthem itself. Trump’s criticism led more than 200 players to protest during one weekend, and some kept it up throughout the season. The league and a coalition of players have been working in tandem to support player initiatives for a variety of social issues. The NFL is committing $90 million over the next seven years to social justice causes in a three-segment plan that involves league players. Kaepernick didn’t play at all last season and still hasn’t been picked up by another team. He threw 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions in his final season in 2016. Safety Eric Reid, one of Kaepernick’s former teammates and another protest leader, is also out of work. Both have filed collusion grievances against the NFL. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

NFL, NFLPA Freeze Anthem Rules Amid Backlash Over Miami Policy
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — For the first time ever, real women will be put on a pedestal in Central Park . After creating 23 statues of men, the city is now designing the first-ever statue for women. On Thursday, the city showed off a small replica of the future monument which honors women’s rights pioneers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The full statue will be unveiled in 2020 on the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. “It’s going be in Central Park on this mall, with all the other men that have been in the park for many many years,” said Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. “It’s a big deal for all us here in New York, and for the women of New York.” The statue will stand along the Literary Walk on the Mall, which spans from 66th Street to 72nd Street.

First Ever Central Park Statue To Honor Women
NEW YORK (CBS News) – Authorities say 17 people are dead after a tour boat carrying 31 people capsized and sank on Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri, during a powerful storm Thursday. The National Weather Service reported wind gusts of more than 60 mph. Tourist Trent Behr was on a nearby boat at the time. He says people jumped into the water to help save one woman. “We got one of the life carriers, one of those things we got her in there and pulled her up, and I was yelling for people to get CPR,” said Behr. Jim Pattison Jr., the president of Ripley Entertainment, which owns the duck boat tour company involved in the incident, told “CBS This Morning” on Friday the boat “shouldn’t have been in the water.” “I don’t have all the details, but to answer your question, no, it shouldn’t have been in the water if, if what happened, happened,” he said when asked why the tour continued in such rough conditions. “This business has been operating for 47 years and we’ve never had an incident like this or anything close to it. To the best of our knowledge – and we don’t have a lot of information now – but it was a fast-moving storm that came out of basically nowhere is sort of the verbal analysis I’ve got,” Pattison said. According to Pattison, the boats do have life jackets on board but passengers are not required to wear them by law. “Usually the lake is very placid and it’s not a long tour, they go in and kind of around an island and back. We had other boats in the water earlier and it had been a great, sort of calm experience,” Pattison said. He added that the captain of that particular boat had 16 years of experience with the company, Ride the Ducks. “You know, they have a very good record. So, again, this seems to be sort of almost a micro storm effect of something that no one was expecting to happen the way that it did,” Pattison said. President Donald Trump tweeted about the accident Friday morning. “My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those involved in the terrible boat accident which just took place in Missouri,” said Trump. “Such a tragedy, such a great loss. May God be with you all!” My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those involved in the terrible boat accident which just took place in Missouri. Such a tragedy, such a great loss. May God be with you all! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2018 “Our thoughts and prayers are with these family members,” said Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Friday. “We as a state will do everything within my powers to make sure they all have the resources here they need.” (© 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) — Paramount Television President Amy Powell has been reportedly fired for making inappropriate racial comments. The movie and TV studio’s chief executive, Jim Gianopulos, said in a memo that several people had expressed concern about Powell’s unspecified comments last week, prompting an internal investigation. It’s not immediately clear what Powell said, but a person familiar with the matter told the Los Angeles Times that she made racially charged remarks in a meeting attended by multiple people. Powell strongly denied making any inappropriate comments and is apparently considering legal action, according to Variety. “There is no truth to the allegation that I made insensitive comments in a professional setting or in any setting,” Powell said in a statement. “The facts will come out and I will be vindicated.” The comments, apparently referencing black women being angry for various reasons, were apparently made during a conference call about the “First Wives” series and were prompted by a tweet by the showrunner Tracy Oliver, who is African American, criticizing the casting process on the show. Oliver was not on the conference call. Powell began her career at CNN and joined Paramount in 2004 after working in interactive marketing at Sony Pictures. She was named president of Viacom Inc.-owned Paramount Television in 2013. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)
