Red Cross Deals With Racism Claims

The Red Cross is apologizing for a pool sign that some believe is “super racist.”  The poster is titled “Be Cool Follow the Rules.”  It features children playing in the pool.  The rule followers are “cool” and the rule breakers are “not cool’  However, most of the cool kids are white while the black kids are not cool.  John Sawyer noticed the sign and shared it on Twitter.


The Red Cross quickly apologized on Twitter.  “Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re removing this from our site immediately & are creating new materials.”

Governor’s Wife is a Waitress

Maine Governor Paul LePage makes a $70,000 salary.  That’s the lowest salary for any United States governor.

To supplement that income, his wife has gotten a job as a waitress.  She’s saving to buy a car.

The College World Series Stare

A kid in the crowd of a Coastal Carolina game against TCU at the College World Series is getting a ton of attention.

It’s that stare.

Deadspin shared video of this champion.
