Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing backlash after a video of him dancing at a Taylor Swift concert went viral over the weekend amid destructive protests. The viral footage shows Mr Trudeau, who represents a district in Montreal, dancing and singing along to the song “You Don’t Own Me” before Swift took the stage in Toronto. However, the timing of the video has sparked backlash, as it coincided with devastating riots where anti-NATO demonstrators set off smoke bombs and marched through the streets of Montreal with Palestinian flags. According to the Montreal Gazette, the rioters set cars on fire and clashed with police. Toronto is approximately 450km west of Canada’s capital, Ottawa, and 530km west of the Montreal district represented by Mr Trudeau. Lawless protestors run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest.

Don Stewart, a member of parliament representing part of Toronto, called out the prime minister in a post on X. “Lawless protesters run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest. The Prime Minister dances,” he wrote. “This is the Canada built by the Liberal government.” The viral footage shows Mr Trudeau dancing and singing along to the song “You Don’t Own Me” before Swift took the stage in Toronto.

Picture: Supplied. “Bring back law and order, safe streets and communities in the Canada we once knew and loved.” The image of Mr Trudeau dancing during protests in his hometown ignited outrage online, with some social media users likening him to Nero, the infamous Roman emperor said to have “fiddled while Rome burned.” “This is real life. Montreal is burning, and Justin Trudeau is dancing and handing out friendship bracelets to teenage girls at a Taylor Swift concert,” one social media user commented. With just four shows left on Swift’s tour before she wraps up the Eras era in Vancouver on December 8.

Picture: AFP Another said: “Oh, here he is, and we thought he might be working to solve the country’s problems.” While a third added: “This guy’s trouble, headlining for all the wrong reasons.” On Saturday, Mr Trudeau denounced the protests and called them “appalling.” “What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling,” the Canadian leader said. “Acts of anti-Semitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them.” “The RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] are in communication with local police. There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable.” More Coverage Aussie injured in shooting as Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire Maria Bervanakis, Merryn Johns Trump’s pick calls for ‘responsible end’ to Ukraine war Emily Macdonald and Zoe Smith Originally published as Video of PM dancing at Taylor Swift concert sparks outrage Join the conversation Add your comment to this story To join the conversation, please log in.

DENVER (AP) — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's “America’s Got Talent” meets “American Idol,” with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it’s never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at “Dream Team” status given the men’s side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023 . The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. “We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport,” said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. “We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world.” Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores . “Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That’s something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok , the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado’s two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. “If a receiver is running around, I’m thinking, ‘OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,’” Daniels explained. “They’re like, ‘No, you can’t.’ I’m just like, ‘So I’m supposed to let this guy just run?!’ I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn.” The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. “I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. “I’m not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, ‘I played NFL football for five years. I’m popular. I have a huge name.’ I’m still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise.” Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It’s his way of working on avoiding a “defender” trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. “You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the ‘Redeem Team’ led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, ‘That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. “Everybody thinks, ‘Yeah, the U.S. just wins,’” Daniels said. “But we work hard all the time. We don’t just walk in. We don’t just get off the bus thinking, ‘We’re going to beat people.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” Related From Our PartnerWhat to know about the plastic pollution treaty talks in South KoreaChargers focused on avoiding a letdown and not a potential playoff berth in matchup with Patriots

South Korean lawmakers impeach second president in two weeksBitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drop Further: 'Black Friday Came Early,' Says Trader Touting 'Good Discounts' - BenzingaCharley Hull has never been afraid to court controversy in her golf career, and now she’s weighed in with an explosive political view. Fresh from ranting about slow play at The ANNIKA last week, Hull has now thrown her support behind US President-elect Donald Trump . Englishwoman Hull is currently competing in the CME Group Tour Championship, where she is five-under through two rounds. That leaves her tied for ninth, and she’ll head into Saturday’s third round five shots off leader Angel Yin. But it was after her opening 73 at Tiburon Golf Club that Hull made some eye-catching comments about Trump’s recent election win. Asked about the apparent ‘Trump dance’ she performed on the fairway on her way to a second-place finish at The ANNIKA, the 28-year-old pulled no punches with her answer. “I love Trump. I think he’s brilliant,” she replied, seemingly confirming the jig was a show of public backing. “I like how he just says things, he doesn’t care what people think and he’s straight to the point.” Hull wasn’t done there though, then taking a shot at the current British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer . “I wish he (Trump) was head of the UK,” she continued. “I just like him as a person. He’s a little better than our Prime Minister.” It isn’t the first time that Hull has voiced her admiration for one of the world’s most divisive characters. The world No.11 has previously spoken of her love for the Turnberry course in Scotland that Trump owns, and this year expressed her disappointment the venue was overlooked for the AIG Women’s Open that took place at St Andrew’s. Previously asked if she would like to play a round with the 78-year-old, whose previous playing partners have included icons like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy , Hull didn’t hesitate. “That would be cool. I think he’s a legend,” she said. But she’s hardly the only high-profile golfer to have backed the MAGA movement. In the build-up to the election, two-time US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau hosted Trump on his YouTube Channel and even joined him on stage during his victory speech after he defeated Kamala Harris . McIlroy has also implied that Trump’s return to power could pave the way for long-awaited merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour . American Ryder Cup star Sam Burns responded to the election win with a social media picture of himself wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ cap, adding the caption: “Deer hunting is great again.” Trump has never made any secret of his love of golf, despite accusations he’s made false claims about his ability and actual handicap. He even challenged current US President Joe Biden to a round this year during a live television debate.

Big Ten slate features Indiana-Ohio State showdown and Penn State-Minnesota matchup Things to watch this week in the Big Ten Conference: Game of the week No. 5 Indiana (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP ) at No. 2 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1, No. 2 CFP), Saturday, noon ET (Fox) This marks the 98th matchup between these two teams, but it's only the fourth time both teams have been ranked. Although Indiana is unbeaten, its soft schedule means the Hoosiers aren't assured of making the 12-team field if they lose this game. The only team with a winning record that Indiana has beaten is Washington (6-5). Ohio State needs a win to have a realistic shot at a rematch with top-ranked Oregon in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State has beaten Indiana 28 straight times since the Hoosiers posted back-to-back victories in 1987-88. People are also reading... The undercard No. 4 Penn State (9-1, 6-1, No. 4 CFP) at Minnesota (6-4, 4-3), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (CBS) This is likely Penn State's biggest obstacle on its way to a potential playoff berth. The Nittany Lions' lone remaining regular-season game is a Nov. 30 home matchup with Maryland (4-6, 1-6). Minnesota has had an extra week to prepare this game since its 26-19 loss at Rutgers on Nov. 9, which snapped a four-game winning streak. Penn State and Minnesota have split their last four meetings, with the home team winning each time. Impact players Penn State DE Abdul Carter has multiple tackles for loss in each of his last three games. He ranks second among all Bowl Subdivision players in tackles for loss (17 1⁄2). Southern California RB Woody Marks rushed for a career-high 146 yards in a 28-20 win over Nebraska. Marks has six 100-yard rushing performances this season. Rutgers RB Kyle Monangai is the first Scarlet Knight to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons since Ray Rice did it three straight years from 2005-07. Monangai has run for 1,028 yards this season and rushed for 1,262 yards last year. Oregon OLB Matayo Uiagalelei recorded a sack and had a game-clinching interception as the top-ranked Ducks won 16-13 at Wisconsin last week. He has 8 1⁄2 sacks this season to rank second in the Big Ten. Inside the numbers Four of the top seven Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks in passer rating are from the Big Ten. Indiana's Kurtis Rourke is second, Ohio State's Will Howard is third, Penn State's Drew Allar is fifth and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel is seventh. ... Illinois QB Luke Altmyer has thrown 18 touchdown passes with only three interceptions. The only Power Four quarterback with a better touchdown/interception ratio while throwing at least 10 touchdown passes is Clemson's Cade Klubnik, who has 26 touchdowns and four interceptions. ... Rutgers' three Big Ten wins matches its largest total since joining the league in 2014. Rutgers also had three conference wins in 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023. A victory Saturday over No. 24 Illinois would give Rutgers three straight Big Ten wins for the first time. ... Washington's 31-19 win over UCLA was its 20th straight home victory, representing its second-longest such streak in school history. The Huskies won 45 straight home games from 1908-17. ... Wisconsin heads to Nebraska this week having won its last 10 matchups with the Cornhuskers. Now don't get upset Penn State justifiably is favored on the road against Minnesota, but Bet MGM's 12 1⁄2-point spread seems way too big. Expect this game to have a single-digit margin.

Trump, US to undergo creative destruction?Recent rumours have linked Kaizer Chiefs with several players. Let’s zero in on the attackers most desired at Naturena. There are also four midfield maestros on the Christmas list . Kaizer Chiefs are chasing a host of attackers Asanele Velebayi Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi is a long-standing target. Thought of as a massive prospect for Bafana Bafana, the 21-year-old has winger been with Spurs for a decade and their CEO wants to get the maximum value out of a sale, should it come to that. Click for the story Michael Olunga 30-year-old Michael Olunga bagged a hat-trick in the first match of this season’s Qatar Stars League. In his entire club career, he’s scored a stunning tally of 190 goals in 253 matches . In his last 61 league matches in Qatar, he’s scored a ludicrous 62 goals . No matter who you’re playing for, a scoring rate of more than a goal per game is absurd. Olunga has played for Kenyan giants Gor Mahia, Swedish side Djurgardens, Spanish LaLiga’s Girona, Chinese outfit Hengfeng, Kashiwa Reysol from Japan’s J-League and Qatari club Al-Duhail SC. To say he’s Kenya’s greatest is probably an understatement, but perhaps brother duo Victor Wanyama and McDonald Mariga would like a word. Chiefs are considering an ambitious move. Oswin Appollis Elias Mokwana, Khanyisa Mayo and Iqraam Rayners are other South African attackers who’ve made big moves either abroad or within the Betway Premiership. Mokwana moved to Esperance for 370k (R7.2 million), Rayners switched to Sundowns for an undisclosed fee although his estimated transfer value now stands at R35 million (evidence of the power Sundowns have over the market) and Mayo is in Algeria with Belouizdad in a deal which cost his new employers €750k (R14.5 million). How much would Appollis cost? Click for the story Zakhele Lepasa According to KickOff , Chiefs have been linked with a sensational swoop for Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa. The 27-year-old has seven caps for Bafana Bafana but has fallen well out of favour for the national team after losing his place in matchday squads for Pirates. He’s yet to make an appearance in any competition this season after returning from a loan spell with SuperSport last term. Click for the story Elias Mokwana Elias Mokwana looked on the brink of an exit from Esperance last week after his club reportedly breached their contract with the 25-year-old over failed payments.

ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs finally dispatched a pesky Massachusetts team for a 59-21 victory at Sanford Stadium on Saturday. And with that out of the way, the No. 10 Bulldogs can get back to pursuing a College Football Playoff berth. Their victory Saturday certainly did little to enhance that pursuit. Georgia (9-2) rolled up 550 yards of offense and scored on all but one offensive possession. But the Bulldogs gave up 351 yards — including 226 rushing — to UMass (2-9), an FBS independent that recently fired its head coach. A win over archrival Georgia Tech would help the Bulldogs’ cause. The Yellow Jackets (7-4) arrive for a 7:30 p.m. ET Friday kickoff (ABC) in the rivalry known as “Clean Old-Fashioned Hate.” Georgia’s defense has some serious shoring to do before then. Utilizing a two-quarterback offense similar to Tech’s, UMass marched up and down the field on the Bulldogs on Saturday. The Minutemen rolled up 227 yards rushing through three quarters. When Georgia surged ahead 45-21 late in the third quarter, it looked like it might have forced the Minutemen into submission. Instead, running back Jalen John broke off a 68-yard run, and UMass was back in business first-and-goal at the Bulldogs’ 7. That’s when Mykel Williams made the defensive play of the game for Georgia. His strip-sack of quarterback A.J. Hairston was recovered by the Minutemen, but only after a loss of 23 yards. The UMass possession would end in a missed 37-yard field-goal attempt, and the Bulldogs were able to retain a modicum of respect on the scoreboard. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, the visitors had no answers for their Carson Beck-led offense. Georgia scored on every offensive possession through the first three quarters — six touchdowns and a field goal, while the senior quarterback threw for four touchdowns and 297 yards on 20-of-31 passing. Freshman running back Nate Frazier added 136 yards and three touchdowns for the Bulldogs. Georgia never punted, but turned the ball over on downs at the 11:18 mark of the fourth quarter. The final margin was skewed in the fourth quarter. With 3:28 remaining in the game, Gabe Harris sacked UMass quarterback A.J. Hairston. That forced a fumble that freshman linebacker Chris Cole scooped up for a 31-yard touchdown that made the score 59-21. The Minutemen ran the ball right down Georgia’s throat in the first half. That had 166 yards rushing by halftime and possessed the ball for two-thirds of the opening half (20:37 to 9:23) while converting 5-of-8 on third and fourth downs. Then UMass scored on a 75-yard touchdown pass on their first offensive series of the second half to get within 31-21. ©2024 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Visit at ajc.com .

After it, a 46-year-old is to face court accused of assault and threatening to kill someone. In an unconnected confrontation last week, one angry driver carried another angry driver off on the back of his ute. In Sunday's incident, the police said that a man and a woman were sitting in a car when a 46-year-old man who was known to the woman approached the vehicle. The police said that "the man began banging on the window before pulling the man out of the vehicle, punching and kicking him several times. "Bystanders intervened and separated the pair before the man got into his vehicle and drove at the other man. "The victim took shelter behind a boulder which the man hit with his vehicle before he fled the scene." Police said the alleged aggressor was arrested at 10pm in Calwell. "He has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, recklessly threatening to kill a person, and attempting to use an offensive weapon," ACT Policing said. In last week's angry confrontation, a driver got carried away - literally: he ended up being driven away on the back of the other truck in the confrontation . What seemed to have happened was that two drivers of trucks - a white Mazda B2600 ute and a white Toyota Hilux - stopped and confronted each other on Gundaroo Drive near the roundabout with the Barton Highway. ACT police arrested a man after he tried to run over another man in a car park.

The Hilux then stopped and the unwilling passenger had to walk back to his own truck. It is not known how far he had to trudge. "Both vehicles stopped and a short time later, the Toyota was seen travelling north along Gundaroo Drive with the driver of the Mazda in the tray of the Hilux," the police said. "The driver of the Toyota pulled over and the man in the tray exited the vehicle and began walking back towards the Barton Highway."

Obituary-

NEW YORK — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of "Wheel of Fortune," "Love Connection" and "Scrabble" who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. "Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him," Young wrote. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV's "Love Connection," for which he coined the phrase, "We'll be back in two minutes and two seconds," a two-fingered signature dubbed the "2 and 2." In 1984, he hosted TV's "Scrabble," simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. "Love Connection," which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest's choice, "Love Connection" would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, 'I remember wagon trains.' The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride." Other career highlights included hosting the shows "Lingo," "Greed" and "The Chuck Woolery Show," as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of "The Dating Game" from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV's "Melrose Place." Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network's first attempt at a reality show, "Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned," which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, "Wheel of Fortune" debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. "Wheel of Fortune" started life as "Shopper's Bazaar," incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on "The Merv Griffin Show" singing "Delta Dawn," Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. "I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes," Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. "After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, 'Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn't care what you have to say — that's the guy I want to be.'" NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as "Wheel of Fortune" and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on "Hollywood Squares." Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. "Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and 'Wheel' did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that 'Jeopardy!' achieved in its heyday," Griffin said in "Merv: Making the Good Life Last," an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which tourbed in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit "Naturally Stoned," with Woolery singing, "When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I'm naturally stoned." After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single "I've Been Wrong" in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, "Forgive My Heart" and "Love Me, Love Me." Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette's 1971 album "We Sure Can Love Each Other," Woolery wrote "The Joys of Being a Woman" with lyrics including "See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream." After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn't revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast "Blunt Force Truth" and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don't need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. "President Obama's popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes," he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as "Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks." During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump's chances for reelection to the presidency. "The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it," Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. "To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones," Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 "a hoax" or said "it's not real," just that "we've been lied to." Woolery also said it was "an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it's important enough to do that." In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said. Copyright 2024 NPRBOSTON — UConn coach Jim Mora pulled a move that would make Bill Belichick proud while preparing the Huskies to play the notoriously churlish former New England Patriot's next team in his old backyard. Mora and his players were more than 45 minutes late for what was scheduled as a 30-minute media availability a day before Saturday's Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Mora then gave a non-apology straight out of Belichick's playbook. "We practice at a certain time the day before a game," Mora said. "And we stuck to the script." A six-time Super Bowl winner in New England with Tom Brady, Belichick was fired after going 4-13 in 2023, leaving him just 14 wins short of matching Don Shula's all-time record for NFL victories. Unable to land a pro job at the age of 72, Belichick signed on with North Carolina — his first college gig — when they fired 73-year-old Mack Brown. Belichick hasn't taken over on the Tar Heels' sideline yet; interim coach Freddie Kitchens — another ex-Cleveland Browns coach — will lead them in the Fenway Bowl. But the future Hall of Famer's potential return to a football field in Boston has been the biggest story ahead of Saturday's game. Belichick did not attend media day, and Fenway Bowl executive director Brett Miller tried to preempt questions about him by asking reporters "to keep questions focusing on the players and coaches out here today." "I don't need to beat around the bush any more than that," he said in comments that would have been cryptic if it weren't so obvious to everyone who he meant. "I know there's probably a lot of questions that you guys have about next year, particularly one side. Please do your best to keep it to these guys, because they've earned the right to be here." The request wasn't completely successful, with Kitchens taking a question about Belichick specifically and saying he talks to his new boss every day. Earlier this month, Kitchens said: "He asks questions; I answer the questions." "I'm going to try to soak in all I can from him, and be a better coach because of it," Kitchens said after Belichick was hired. "I love Carolina, I want what's best for Carolina, and I know that right now at this moment in time, coach Belichick is what's best for Carolina. "At the end of the day, he's a ballcoach," he said, "and I enjoy working for ballcoaches." This was already a long season, one in which the Tar Heels saw their high hopes deflate quickly, one in which they had to suffer through the impossible task of burying a teammate, one in which they watched the coach who brought them here fired and an NFL legend hired to replace him. “It’s definitely been a challenge,” wide receiver J.J. Jones said. “I think this past season was probably one of the most mentally challenging seasons I’ve had since I’ve been here. We’ve had a lot of things to go wrong off the field and on the field. ... At the end of the day, we’re here to play one more football game. I know this is my last football game in the Tar Heels uniform, so I’m going out there and giving it my all.”
