1. SPORTS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Fans sock it to NFL: Football fans are benching America’s favorite fall pastime to protest domestic violence cases haunting the NFL. Even after the league enacted tougher punishments and three accused players sat out yesterday’s games, the Twitter hashtag #BoycottNFL ran rampant with demands that Commissioner Roger Goodell’s leave. The women’s rights group Ultraviolet flew an prop plane aerial banner over the New York Giants-Arizona Cardinals game on Sunday saying “#GOODELLMUSTGO.”
2. CLINTON IN IOWA
To run or not to run: That was the question put to Hillary Clinton yesterday, while she fried up some steaks in Iowa. The answer? None, really. With Bill at her side, she told about 200 journalists that they were in Indianola to help Democrats at the annual outdoor fundraiser called the Harkin Steak Fry. Sen. Tom Harkin has held it 37 times. Yesterday was his last. Clinton leads in the polls, but she lost her primary bid in the state in 2008, so some down-home face time in Iowa may have done her some good.
3. TACKLING ISIS
New beheading threat: ISIS says they’ll do it again. Over the weekend the Islamist extremists, posted video of the beheading of a British aid worker. That was a message to America’s allies, they said, and they have another hostage from the UK, who could also meet with a barbaric fate. Their threats seem not to deter – but instead to spur – President Obama’s military plans. He says he’ll expand airstrikes against them into Syria and is asking other nations to help out in the fight. They meet today in Paris to discuss how to go about it.
