CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK CPS teachers to get doses Vaccinations to start in February; union still prepping for a possible walkout By Hannah Leone Chicago Tribune

Chicago Public Schools un- veiled its coronavirus vaccination plan for teachers Friday, saying the district will start providing doses to staff members in mid-February. School nurses will adminis- ter the vaccines at four CPS buildings after receiving training, CEO Janice Jackson said Friday. The announcement comes as tensions are rising with the Chicago Teachers Union, whose members are in the midst of a vote over whether to refuse to show up for in-person work on Monday, when thousands of educators are due to return to school buildings for the first time since March. Jackson Jackson on Friday made it clear that the district would consider that action a strike, but did not say whether the district would lock them out of their online ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE teaching platforms. Prekindergarten students take part in a class singalong at Ellington Elementary School in Chicago on Friday. “If teachers refuse to return to school on Monday, that is a strike, that is not a lockout,” she said.

RED WINGS AT BLACKHAWKS BULLS 123, HORNETS 110 Young latest player to buy into NBL League based in New Zealand, Australia ‘primed for growth’ By Jamal Collier Chicago Tribune

Bulls forward Thad Young is buying a minority ownership stake in the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League, the premier professional league in Australia and New Zealand. The league recently emerged as an alternative for high school players who turn pro rather than spend a year in college, such as LaMelo Ball, who signed a two-year deal with the Illawara Hawks at 17 and became the No. 3 pick in the 2020 draft a few months ago. On Friday afternoon Young confirmed the deal, which was first reported by the New York Times, and said he hoped to finalize things in the next week. “The league is primed for growth,” Young said before Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets. “The NBL has done a really good job the last couple years of kind of bursting onto the scene. “(Denver Nuggets rookie) R.J. Hampton and LaMelo kind of made it known a little bit. I see that as a league where guys can go if they don’t want to go to college and want to come out of high school and be able to grow their games a little.” Young joins a list of NBA players who have bought into league. In November, John Wall and Dante Exum joined former players Zach Ran- dolph, Al Harrington and Josh Childress in buying into the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix. Matt Walsh, Victor Oladipo and Shawn Marion bought into the New Zealand Breakers. And Young was recruited by Bullets majority owner Kevin Martin. The two played together with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2014-15 season, before Young was traded to the Brooklyn JOHN J.

NFL COMMENTARY Lack of hiring Blacks still problem

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

Coaches understand before they sign employment contracts that they are hired to be fired, something that’s particularly true in the NFL where the only measure of success is a playoff slot at the end of the season. That’s why there was no real outcry when Anthony Lynn was let go by the Chargers. Lynn’s team went 7-9 this season and some of his head-scratching decisions late in games caused fans to lose their hair. That Lynn is Black didn’t matter when it came to getting a pink slip. A half-dozen coaches who weren’t of color were also let go in the annual coaching exodus across the league. Unfortunately, though, it seems being Black still does matter when it comes to getting hired in the first place. And that’s become a problem the NFL seems increasingly unable — or unwilling — to fix. The news Thursday that the Eagles plan to hire Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni as the new head coach of the Eagles is the latest reminder of that. Sirianni seems qualified but at the age of 39 he’s getting an opportunity that could have gone to any number of equally deserving Black assistants. That it didn’t means six of the seven coaching vacancies this offseason have now been filled. Robert Saleh was hired to coach the Jets as the first Muslim head coach, but there are no new Black coaches in the group. The Rooney Rule that requires minori- ties be interviewed for all head coaching openings still gets Black applicants a foot in the door. But the door seems to close when it comes to making the actual Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was injured last weekend, has been cleared from concussion protocol. CHARLIE RIEDEL/AP hire, and recent tweaks to the rule haven’t been enough to change that. Consider this: In the three previous NFL PLAYOFFS coaching replacement cycles before this year, 20 coaches were hired — just one of them Black. That leaves the NFL with four minority coaches, just two of them African-Amer- ican, pending a coaching hire in Texas. Mahomes cleared to play And that’s simply unacceptable in a league where 70 percent of players are Black, Chiefs QB out of concussion into the locker room a few minutes later. the guidelines he was given knowing he’s in and so are a third of the assistants trying The Chiefs wasted little time ruling the concussion protocol.” to work their way up the coaching ladder. protocol for AFC title game Mahomes out, though.
