He won office in Louisiana after a murder exoneration. Maga wouldn’t let the election stand
Calvin Duncan studied law in prison to free himself and won his court clerk race in a landslide. Three hours in, the role was abolished in an act of ‘white supremacy’

Instead of Super Bowl rings and halftime shows, the thing that football should adopt from American sports is old school MLB mascot animations with like a comedy hotdog man that pops up to get amusingly nutmegged every time a player gets nutmegged
