Ppl with journalism ethics need to become founders.
More local indie journalism! You don’t need 100 employees to be impactful. Trust!

70 years ago today, the Bears played the 49ers.
During the game, Chicago coach George Halas brought the appropriately-named Willie Thrower into the game to replace George Blanda, making Thrower the first African American QB in the modern era to appear in an NFL game.
ALT Willie Thrower in practice, with his arm pulled back and ready to throw a football.
