Derek Chauvin showed little emotion as the judge read the jury's verdict that he was guilty of all charges in the death of George Floyd. After the judge denied bail, Chauvin, who has been free on bail since October, was handcuffed and led away. https://t.co/roZRZYTwAs pic.twitter.com/ucIkl22KVl

“After so many previous instances in which police officers were acquitted of what looked to many people like murder, this time was different,” @Sulliview wrote. It was different in no small part “because of a teenager’s sense of right and wrong.” https://t.co/37uHAgZJNc

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied. pic.twitter.com/mihZQHqACV

Ben Crump: ‘America, let’s lean into this moment and let’s make sure … that this moment will be documented for our children yet unborn. As they continue on the journey to justice, knowing that the blood of George Floyd will give them a trail to find a way to a better America.’ pic.twitter.com/iSGQvmWEn6

The European Super League won't have any Premier League sides in the proposed competition.
This is everything that happened on Tuesday…#bbcfootball
Not since the USFL went into business with Donald Trump have I seen a sports fiasco like this Super League thing in Europe. Against all odds, these people almost make FIFA look good.

Almost.
Bonfire of the vanities. Egos shot down in flames. Fans stuff the owners 6-0. What a result. What a day. #SuperLeague #fanpower https://t.co/iKv1mlVwi8

You know they have just sneaked a 36-team Champions League with 225 games & VIP passes for two ESL-type clubs past the lot of you, right? Quick, they're bringing the joint venture with UEFA & £5bn private-equity stake in next. Look into my eyes, not around the eyes etc

While we are at it ⚽️ fans, can we universally put this same energy towards ending racism. It’s really not that hard since so many of you that have had this competitive hatred for years came together to end the #SuperLeague.

Let’s end #racism now.
