Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White may be opting out of playing in the NFL during the 2020 season. Fans in Buffalo and all over have voiced their opinion on White’s potential choice as he has until 4pm today to make his final decision. Many have called fourth year vet “selfish” for debating to not partake in the coming up season after 56 players have tested positive for the Covid-19 Virus around the NFL. White was an All-Pro in 2019, recording a league-high six interceptions along with 58 total tackles in 15 games.

White spoke out against critics tweeting, “Crazy that me choosing my family’s well being over a game comes with so-called fans attacking and questioning me and saying I’m selfish. No you guys are selfish for thinking that football is bigger than life. Oh by the way my girl’s grandfather passed from COVID. U understand now?” White opting out of the season would be a precautionary measure, but after reading his explanation, it is clear why he is considering it. If he is to do so, he will be one of the biggest stars thus far to make that choice.

The NFL preseason has been cancelled and the regular season is to start on September 10th with the Buffalo Bills first game to be on September 13th against the New York Jets. As of right now, there will be no fans in attendance and they are also working to ban tailgating due to health concerns. Players have until 4 pm to decide whether they will opt out. After that, NFL Network reported that “players can opt out after the deadline if the player is diagnosed as being high risk for contracting coronavirus or a family member dies or is in a hospital because of coronavirus or a related issue.” Tune in to the 4pm news to see what Tre White decides!

UPDATE: White did not opt out of the 2020 season! Go Bills!

Swifties all over the world geared up for midnight on July 24th like it was New Years as they anxiously awaited the release of Taylor Swift’s 8th studio album. This album, however, was unlike any other release she had done because she only announced the albums creation and release date the day before. The secret record came as both a shock and present to us all and I, personally, cannot wait to dive in.

Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest singer in music today. Her following ranges from country to pop and to people of all ages. For her most recent album releases, she had filled her social media with “easter eggs” for her fans to overanalyze. She usually would release a few album tracks and music videos to those songs and litter them with clues. This time however, the album announcement came just hours before the release, sending Taylor Swift fans over the edge with excitement. The album is called Folklore and she announced it to have 15 songs with 1 bonus track. Along with the post about Folklore’s release was some black and white album art of Taylor in a forest. She also announced that a song would feature Bon Iver, an indie folk band, leading people to imagine the dreamy style of the album. Unlike any of Swift’s previous seven records, this one is categorized as alternative. This is the third major genre she has released an album in, the other two being pop and country, which she had tremendous success in. This album was written during quarantine from the coronavirus. It released the same day that she was supposed to set out to LA for her first of 4 stadium shows for her album “Lover.” There is speculation that this release was to make up for the missed tour and to bring some light into the fairly dim reality we are living in. She sure knows how to give her fans what they need.

Taylor Swift is an artist who keeps her fans on their toes. From hidden clues in singles to secret album releases, Swifties never know what to expect next from their icon, and wouldn’t want it any other way. Folkfore was an amazing surprise and an album overflowing with talent. Taylor is shining bright and we all are so happy to watch her succeed!
