On behalf of the Kobe Bryant estate, the player’s widow, Vanessa, has decided not to renew the endorsement deal with sportswear giant Nike. With Kobe Bryant’s recent contract expiring this month, Vanessa Bryant reportedly told ESPN that she had grown frustrated with Nike. ESPN reported that Vanessa Bryant felt that Nike’s deal was not comparable to those “lifetime” contracts offered to athletes such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James. “My hope will always be to allow Kobe’s fans to get and wear his products,” Vanessa told ESPN. “I will continue to fight for that. Kobe’s products sell out in seconds. That says everything. “I was hoping to forge a lifelong partnership with Nike that reflects my husband’s legacy. We will always do everything we can to honor Kobe and Gigi’s legacies. That will never change,” she added. Without a contract, Nike will cease manufacturing its Kobe Bryant branded products.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig said that the “reckless and disgusting” comments by Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are “shameful” for “communities of color and other places who rely on us to do an effective job.” Craig said, “What I say is, in our majority African American community here in Detroit, the majority support the men and women who serve every single day, they support us. And I think I can honestly say that for a lot of the communities of color and other places who rely on us to do an effective job. Now, I’m not supporting bad policing, not at all.

While children under 16 have not been approved to receive any of the currently available shots, clinical trials to get shots in little arms are underway. Delivering the vaccine to children will be necessary to tame the virus, experts say, and could remove uncertainty around when students will fully return to in-person learning as they already prepare for the upcoming fall 2021 school year. Here’s what we know so far about the vaccine and children. Drug companies have launched critical trials for younger children and their results are expected to be released to the public by the summer .
