An NFL Star Shared A Message From A Conservative Influencer. Fans Weren't Happy
An NFL Star Shared A Message From A Conservative Influencer. Fans Weren't Happy originally appeared on The Spun. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is taking some heat this week because of a post he shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. It turns out he posted content from a controversial conservative influencer. Jackson is entering the 2025 season with a ton of confidence - and rightfully so. He completed 66.7% of his passes last season for 4,172 yards with 41 touchdowns and four interceptions. The two-time MVP and four-time Pro Bowler also had 915 rushing yards and four scores on 139 carries. While there are plenty of football fans eager to see Jackson back on the gridiron, some people have changed their tune due to his social media activity. Earlier this week, Jackson shared the following message from Charlie Kirk: "It's all about Jesus." In case you're unfamiliar with his work, Kirk is the founder of a conservative student organization called Turning Point USA. He visits college campuses around the country to discuss political issues. He played a big role in helping Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2024. NFL fans are disappointed that Jackson shared Kirk's message. "Anybody but Charlie Kirk," one fan wrote on X. "Lamar whyyyy?" "I'm just gonna assume he doesn't know who tf this really is," a second fan commented. "Lamar Jackson is genuinely MAGA but no one will say anything," a third fan said. "Someone should remind a lot of these MAGA folk that the problem isn't that he reposted a quote about loving Jesus.. the problem is that he reposted that quote from a extreme white supremacist," a social media user wrote. Some people defended Jackson's social media activity. "What's the big deal here? Jesus is King," Fran Fraschilla said. "Is this the point we've come to? Criticizing someone bc of their religious beliefs? Just stop. Stay strong @Lj_era8 and keep being an example for so many in Baltimore & beyond," Sage Steele replied. "Taken heat for loving Jesus? Faith is a good thing. I'm guessing the critics have none," one person wrote on X. "Not a Christian but I don't see what's wrong w/ people sharing beliefs for those who want to consume. Might be difficult for atheists to understand, for religious, God is above politics," another person commented. Jackson has not addressed any of the backlash. Besides, he's getting ready for the Ravens' season opener. The Ravens will kick off their 2025 season on Sept. 7 against the Buffalo Bills. It'll be a rematch of last season's Divisional Round matchup. Jackson had 254 passing yards, 39 rushing yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Baltimore's 27-25 loss to Buffalo. We'd have to imagine that he's been thinking of that loss all offseason long. An NFL Star Shared A Message From A Conservative Influencer.

How to watch 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox'? Hulu's new limited series
Viewers are will get to see Amanda Knox's story dramatized in a new limited series on Hulu, which follows her 16-year journey to reclaim her innocence after being convicted and ultimately exonerated of murder. "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," out on Friday, Aug. 20, is inspired by the true story of Amanda Knox, an American college student studying in Italy who was wrongfully convicted and later imprisoned for the murder of her roommate. Considered the prime suspects in the 2007 killing of British student Meredith Kercher, Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, spent four years in prison before they were exonerated for the second time in March 2015.

Nearly a decade after the second acquittal, which was decided by Italy's highest court, the Supreme Court of Cassation, Knox returned to Italy for another trial on slander charges related to the initial interrogation. Specifically, that trial addressed a signed confession from Knox falsely accusing her former boss of the murder. An Italian court found Knox guilty, again, in June 2024 and upheld the conviction on appeal months later. According to Hulu, the series "traces Amanda's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom and examines why authorities and the world stood so firmly in judgment." Here's what to know about "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," including where to stream it. Who is playing Amanda Knox?

60-year-old S.F. pub featured in movies has closed
After more than 60 years in San Francisco's Tenderloin, the popular medieval-themed dive bar Edinburgh Castle Pub has closed its doors at 950 Geary St. Owner Tay Kim, who bought the bar in 1999, confirmed the closure in a message to the Chronicle. U.S. Bank filed a foreclosure lawsuit against the bar in February 2024 for a more than $700,000 loan made in 2009, records show. According to the lawsuit, Edinburgh Castle stopped making monthly payments on the loan in 2023. This June, a court appointed receiver took possession of the property, and an auctioneer was appointed to sell the building. The pub has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1959. It was a favorite spot for a slew of famed writers, and hosted readings from the likes of Scottish writer Irvine Welsh, whose book 'Trainspotting' was adapted to a play first staged at the venue, before it became a film. He staged the American debut of the production at the bar, which he would later adapt into a hit movie. The Castle was also featured in the films 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' and 'Venom.' Despite its popularity in the 1990s and 2010s, when it was known to host live music, business in the historic space has been slower over the years, and Kim even put the bar up for sale in 2019. In the end, Kim told the Chronicle, 'COVID really was the main catalyst for our demise. We lost approximately 70% of our business. I've been there for 31 years so it was a good run at a place where magic happened. I don't miss it now but I'll miss it in time surely.' Mario Cortez contributed to this report. This story has been updated to include additional comments from Tay Kim and to clarify that the author Irvine Welsh wrote the book 'Trainspotting.'
