Opinion
The NFL is not unfamiliar with being in the center of national news and political discourse, especially with the conduct of its players being considered disrespectful or even fascist. Sports Editor Jovanni Alvarado argues that fascism has no place in sports at all, but also how the NFL and its players need to be held accountable for blackballing certain players like Colin Kapernick, while allowing others to commit worse decisions with no consequences.

Features
PCC’s writer in residence, Lynell George, author of “A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia Butler”, sits down with the Courier’s Features editing team to talk about her journalism career, her journey in Butler’s archives, and how in an age of misinformation, a reader’s trust is a value she holds dear. George talks about her connection to Butler, and how the work she does has altered her perspective on the landscape of journalism.

What once seemed impossible, has now been made possible, as the Lancers football team ended the 50 year drought of having an unbeatable regular season as they carried a 46-6 beatdown on Saturday. The defensive work from the team reflected highly in the outcome of the game. The Lancers will have a week of rest, before bowl week, as their season comes to a close.

Lifestyle
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, PCC hosted Larry Spotted Crow Mann, a Nipmuc tribal educator, and author of the book “Drumming and Dreaming” to share the stories of his tribe that were unable to be passed down. Mann talks about the importance of knowing his culture, and sharing it so it doesn’t disappear and instead leaves a legacy of healing through storytelling.
