College athletes can promote products like other athletes now

 Recently the Supreme Court has ruled that college athletes may pursue sponsorship by corporate America.  This will help the athlete get the best exposure before they decide to play professionally or not.  This also will lessen the load of college student debt.   If that athlete gets these sponsorships.  Many college athletes also contribute to the community they represent.  Let's pretend we had a student from the Portland area who was given a scholarship to the University of Oregon to play football.  Nike decided to sponsor him after he did some endorsements for a new brand of cleats they were promoting.  This athlete let say came from a neighborhood in Portland where you have low income youths.  He could create a program with the Boys and Girls Club to promote football in his neighborhood by giving back.  As you know many athletes usually give back to the communities they come from.  After he played four his four years at the University of Oregon he was debt free due to the sponsorships he received from corporate America.  He was 3rd round draft pick for the local NFL team the Seattle Seahawks where he played wide receiver.  This player was able to establish a youth football foundation for children of Portland through the Boys and Girls Club.  The community actually benefits from this Supreme Court not just the athlete and the school.  This also allow the school to offer other scholarships to other students.  College athletics are what most university depend on for income outside of state legislatures annual budget which change each year depending on the tax revenue they receive and who is in charge of the legislative check book that year. 

BROTHER AND UNCLE HELPED HIDE YASER SAID FROM JUSTICE

 Both his son Islam and his brother Yassein helped in hiding Yaser to help him be a coward for the past 12 years until he was captured on August 26, 2020 in the Justin in Denton County a suburb of Dallas.  

Both Islam and Yassein were sentenced for crimes of harboring Yaser.  

Islam pleaded guilty was sentenced to 10 years in prison in April for hiding a coward. 

Yassein was sentenced to 12 years in prison in June for his role for hiding a coward.

I guess it takes a family to do a crime and deny Sarah and Amina Said the ability to lead their own lives as they see fit.

YASER ABDEL SAID HAS BEEN CAPTURED

I found out a couple of weeks ago Yaser Abdel Said the coward of the father was captured by law enforcement in the town of Justin in Denton County a suburb of Dallas on August 26, 2020.

Now that this coward has been on the run for 12 years let hope he will soon face justice for the senseless honor killing of Sarah and Amina Said.  I found out about the capture when watching On the Hunt with John Walsh on HLN a couple of weeks ago.  

Hopefully will receive justice soon. 

 

 
 

Hopefully we will have justice for Sarah and Amina Said soon

 Sarah and Amina Said were shot by their father Yaser Abdel Said in the back of his taxi cab in the early morning hours on New Years Day, 2008 at the taxi cab stand at the Omni Mandalay Hotel in Irving, Texas west of Dallas.  He had been on the run for 12 years until he was captured on August 26, 2020 in the Denton County town of Justin not far from his home residence of Lewisville.  His brother Yassein and his son Islam allowed him to hide without capture until 2020 when he was captured.

Yaser was captured and is waiting for trial to be sentenced for the killing of his two daughters in an honor killing.  Great job on his capture

Where is Kyron Horman?

This article was originally written in June 2010

Portland Police Bureau, America's Most Wanted and Multi County agencies in the Portland Metropolitian Area. There is now a $50,000 reward in this missing case. He is 15 years old wears and maybe wearing glasses. He was last seen at Skyline Elementary in NW Portland over 10 years ago on June 1st. 

 His step-mother Terri Moulton-Horman may have hired David Anthony Durham to kill him and his remains may be on Suavie Island somewhere.  I also believe that Multnomah County Sheriff knows more than what they are telling us that is why they got a judge to block a civil lawsuit against Terri Moulton-Horman from her mom Desiree Young and her father Kaine Horman  which would have given closure to this case plus they also I think.


Thanks to Gordon Trucking for trucking his mug shot across the country. He was also last seen If you spot this fun loving fifth grader who loves CSI call the Portland Police Bureau at (503) 261-2847.  If you can also call America's Most Wanted at 1-800-CRIME-TV and Let's solve the mystery of Kyron Horman and make the world safer for Pacific Northwest Children.

Black Culture has been in the Marion family for nearly 50 years

In celebration of Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday.  I actually support this move.  I would had delayed it implementation for one year til 2022.  It was unfair to give federal workers a day off with little notice.  

 

What this holiday it celebrates the end of Black American Slavery.  Which is a chapter that no type of people should be subject this type of treatment.  It was the British who introduced slavery to the American culture with the settlement of Jamestown in Coastal Virginia.  This continue in the Southern United States this country even fought a civil war over it from 1861-1865.  This was the bloodiest war in American history with blacks fighting on both sides.  We even had American presidents who owned slaves but freed them upon their deaths.  George Washington freed his slaves on December 14, 1799 at his mansion at Mount Vernon where the current capitol is location in Virginia.  Thomas Jefferson freed his slaves at his death on July 4, 1826 at Monticello in the Blue Ridge Mountains area of Virginia.  James Monroe help create an American colony called Liberia which was a Republic controlled by free American slaves.  He wanted freed slaves to be shipped back their at American taxpayer expense.  He insisted that no new slaves were allowed to come from this colony with later became their own republic.  In Thomas Jefferson's presidency we even fought a war against the Ottoman Empire over this issue which Liberia became our first colony.   Eight presidents owned slaves some even advocated for slave holders rights.  

Washington Family

Now to the point of this article it was 1972 that the Marion family had been exposed to black culture with a very young aunt Cecila married my Uncle Harold.  He died in 2014 at the age of 86.  Their marriage gave me eight awesome cousins.  

The Washington Family 

Morton Family

In 1980 or 1981 my Aunt Jude married Clifton Morton who everybody in the family called my Uncle Joe.  They gave two awesome cousins named Yolanda and Yvonne.  He passed away at the age of 59 of cancer in 2011.
