Jonathan Irons, who was convicted of burglary and assault in 1998 and sentenced to 50 years in prison, was officially released from the Jefferson City Correctional Center on Wednesday, according to Kurt Streeter of the New York Times.

WNBA star Maya Moore put her basketball career on hold in part to help Irons overturn his conviction. The four-time champion and former Rookie of the Year and MVP stunned the basketball world when she sat out the 2019 season

They aren't
Which is why this is good news

It means enough people care that it's no longer economically advantageous for Nike and FedEx to Ignore it

That is amazing. Incredible they've been able to perform at such a high level without the benefit of hearing a whistle. Mind you, there's probably advantages too, like not having to listen to any trash talk.

A beautiful story about compassion and reaching out to save someone you don't even know. Lots of happy endings to this one, including both the Kraken and the Canucks combining to award her a medical scholarship.

I like this gentleman & I like what Robert Kraft did. The Pats fan is Jerry Edmund & he was mercilessly taunted in his face by a female Raider fan after the debacle his team improvised to lose last week. Despite the immense emotional pressure he was under, he never retaliated. Never displayed any negative energy. He was a stone wall. In fact, not long after he touched down back home in New England, he showed he still had a positive outlook and never carried that baggage w/him. Truly what happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegas.

Robert Kraft tracked him down and got him free game passes & a personalized jersey to the Bengals game. Then upped the ante by letting him sit next to him in his private suite.

We need more Jerry Edmunds in society. And we need more people in power to copy Robert Kraft if we want to encourage more Jerry Edmunds to grow.
