November 29: At least one National Football League owner reportedly believes United States President Donald Trump is "trying to destroy" the league with his repeated attacks on social media.
On Wednesday, Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman relayed a response from an NFL owner about Trump's comments directed at the league, which some owners think stem from the president's failed attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014.
"He's trying to destroy us. He's trying to use race to divide the players and our fans," the owner said. "It's all over a grudge."
Trump has consistently taken aim at the NFL for not punishing players who refuse to stand for the national anthem as a form of protest against racial injustice.

May 15: On Monday morning, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its ruling in Murphy v. NCAA and forever changed the sports landscape in America.
In a 6-3 decision, the Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, otherwise known as PASPA, which had been in effect since 1993. PASPA prevented the legalization of sports betting in states that had not previously allowed such activities. Hence, Nevada has legally operated sportsbooks while states like New Jersey have been barred. Now, each state will be free to legalize and enforce sports betting as it sees fit.

December 2: NFL's Chiefs Cut Player Seen Attacking Woman — After Video Becomes Public
The Kansas City Chiefs cut Kareem Hunt, one of the NFL's top running backs, on Friday, hours after the release of a video showing him attacking a woman.
Now, fans are asking a familiar set of questions: What did the NFL know about the domestic violence incident, and did it try to conceal what happened?
The security camera video obtained and published by TMZ shows Hunt and a few other people in the hallway of a Cleveland apartment building. Hunt appears to argue with a woman. He shoves her several times — at one point knocking her to the ground and then kicking her — as other people try to break up the fight.
The victim told police after the February incident that they should watch the video and that she wanted Hunt arrested, USA Today reported. Police said they did not see the video until it was made public. The NFL investigated but didn't interview Hunt or the victim and also didn't see the video, ESPN said.
No charges were filed against Hunt at the time, and the NFL didn't discipline him. Hunt, 23, played in each of Kansas City's first 11 games and entered Sunday's contests with the fifth-most rushing yards in the league.
