The reality of the situation is that having your entire squad stay free of coronavirus for the next four months is going to be very hard .
Some players are going to get coronavirus .
That ’ s just the reality of playing a sport during a coronavirus .
A player getting sick doesn ’ t mean we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests positive , then you isolate them , let them heal and they can return once they kick the virus .

Been reading Isabel Wilkerson’s new book, “Caste,” and if you were of the opinion that the United States wasn’t nearly as bad as Nazi Germany, how wrong you are. Can’t encourage you enough to read this masterpiece. — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) August 23, 2020
Admittedly, I’ve never read “Caste,” and I’d never heard of Isabel Wilkerson prior to this tweet from hill. Amazon lists the description of the book in part as follows:
Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more.
Despite never reading the book, here’s what I do know for sure, Nazi Germany and the USA aren’t similar at all.
For those of you who don’t know, Hitler started a war that ravaged Europe, carried out the mass genocide of the Jewish people and others and ran one of the worst dictatorships that the world has ever seen.

Let’s not allow anyone to just tweet insane garbage and walk away. Hill thinks the USA and Nazi Germany are similar, and we deserve to know the specifics of this absurd claim.
Precisely. For example, I knew that Hitler admired Henry Ford for his racism. I did not know that they stole the one-drop rule from us as well as criminalizing interracial marriage. Also, what does it say that in 2020, lynching still hasn’t been outlawed? https://t.co/7hgzU5iW9h — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) August 23, 2020

Meghan‘s friend Markus Anderson owns the place and her room would have cost $535.
According to the report:
While the couple was courting, Anderson “put them up” at a private four-bedroom cottage in the Cotswolds Soho Farmhouse and at the Soho House property at Babington in Somerset. He also arranged a weekend getaway for them, saving Prince Harry and his then-girlfriend $6,100.
The piece goes on to note how the former “Suits” actress and Harry were helped during their dating by her former pal Jessica Mulroney who offered her friend use of a private jet to fly from Toronto to London that would have cost someone else $65,000.
The royals also reportedly flew to their honeymoon location on a “private jet loaned by a friend.”
Markle and Harry were also gifted Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle by Queen Elizabeth II. The Daily Mail report notes that a home in the area recently sold for $4.3 million.
For those that might recall, Meghan’s friends threw her a fancy baby shower in New York that was filled with A-list stars. The outlet noted that her pals Amal Clooney and Serena Williams covered the $400,000 bill. She also reportedly flew to the festivities thanks to the use of Amal and George Clooney’s private plane, saving her $65,000, per the outlet.
The piece later notes that when the former royals flew from Canada to Los Angeles, they reportedly stayed for free at the mansion owned by Tyler Perry for four months. A similar rental in the same neighborhood would have reportedly run someone else $60,000.
During the royals wedding in 2018, candle company Diptique reportedly provided diffusers to cover up the “musty” smell of St. George’s Chapel, per the outlet. Each diffuser reportedly goes for $170 each.

Verdict: False
The image, which predates the ongoing California wildfires by two years, shows a sunset in Hawaii taken from an airplane.
Fact Check:
Cal Fire, the state’s fire fighting agency, said the ongoing wildfires in California have burned over 1 million acres since Aug. 15, The New York Times reported.
