Watch viral nun beatbox while her fellow sister busts a move on Catholic TV show
Sister Marizele Cassiano showcased her beatboxing skills on a Catholic TV show on May 23, according to Reuters and Storyful.
Right beside her was Sister Marisa Paula de Neves, who was executing b-boy-inspired moves, the outlets reported. Both were donning long powder blue skirts and white button-ups.
The high-energy duo reportedly made an appearance on the show to talk about their work, more specifically, a women's vocational retreat.

'Beautiful to see'
Soon after the beats and the dancing started flowing, one of the hosts joined in on the fun. In an interview with the Associated Press, Cassiano said she was shocked that the "spontaneous" moment went ultra-viral on social media.
"Beatboxing, dancing, and the songs itself, are tools that God uses to reach the hearts of the people we work with. And it works! It's beautiful to see,' she told the outlet.

ESPN shelving Spike Lee's Kaepernick doc in wake of NFL deal is suspect
Spike Lee told @Reuters his multi-part docuseries about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for ESPN Films will not be released Less than two weeks after the NFL and Disney announced a partnership that gave the league a 10 percent equity stake in ESPN, the network is suddenly reversing course on a previously planned documentary series on Colin Kaepernick being directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee. The timing is suspect, to say the least. As I called out when the deal was made public, ESPN's ability to be trusted as an objective news source on the NFL is severely compromised by the partnership -- even if a potential inability to hold the league accountable through reporting is more optics than truth. This documentary being scrapped is early proof of that. Who amongst us didn't have the thought that maybe, just maybe, the NFL had something to do with it? That may not necessarily be the case. In a statement to Reuters, ESPN cited 'creative differences' for why the network, Lee and Kaepernick collectively decided not to move forward with the project. But the NFL interfering can't be completely ruled out. "It's not coming out. That's all I can say," Lee told Reuters, saying he couldn't elaborate because he signed a non-disclosure agreement. In other words, we may never know what happened to get this project shelved. A REUNION: Rich Eisen will host his first SportsCenter in 20 years What we do know is the story of Kaepernick, who filed a grievance against the NFL alleging collusion after he was unable to find employment following his protests of racism and police brutality during the national anthem. The NFL settled with him. If the NDA doesn't prevent Lee and Kaepernick from shopping that story and all the particulars to another network, and it turns out to be more damaging for the NFL than we already know, it'll be an incredibly bad look for a network that decided not to air it and also happens to be partly owned by the NFL. If the NDA does prevent them from shopping it around... well, that's not a great look either. The Bengals are taking calls on Trey Hendrickson With no apparent movement in their negotiations with Trey Hendrickson, the Cincinnati Bengals are now listening to trade offers for the dynamic edge rusher, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. FTW's Robert Zeglinski came up with a list of four logical destinations for Hendrickson, in the event Cincy does move him. Naturally, the Detroit Lions came up, as they typically do when a pass rusher hits the market: "Even after losing both their offensive and defensive coordinators in the offseason, Detroit still has one of the NFL's most complete rosters. That is, well, aside from a bona fide complementary pass-rusher alongside franchise player Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions' EDGE depth behind Hutchinson features names like Marcus Davenport and Al-Quadin Muhammad, which isn't awful, but it's also not ideal for a team that views itself as a Super Bowl contender." I still think the Bengals need to do everything in their power to keep Hendrickson. Without getting a couple starters in return, they'd be doing Joe Burrow and that entire offense a huge disservice by removing the best player from an already poor defense.
