San Francisco - Muslimchronicle
Colin Kaepernick believes he’s being blackballed for his political statements, and on Sunday filed a grievance accusing NFL owners of collusion.
Kaepernick played quarterback last season for the San Francisco 49ers, but six games into the 2017 season he is still a free agent, and no team has made an effort to sign him.
On Sunday, Bleacher Report first reported Kaepernick has filed a grievance under the league’s collective bargaining agreement and has hired celebrity attorney Mark Geragos to represent him.
Geragos confirmed the grievance in a statement late Sunday: “If the NFL (as well as all professional sports leagues) is to remain a meritocracy, then principled and peaceful political protests — which the owners themselves made great theater imitating weeks ago — should not be punished and athletes should not be denied employment based on partisan political provocation by the Executive Branch of our government.”
The league’s CBA prohibits owners from acting together to determine a player’s employment or contract status.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
