A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit that challenged "race-norming" in dementia tests for retired NFL players, a practice that some say makes it harder for Black athletes to show injury and qualify for awards. The judge instead ordered the NFL and the lead lawyer in the overall $1 billion settlement to resolve the issue through mediation. That process would appear to exclude the Black players who sued. Both Henry and Davenport were denied awards but would have qualified had they been white, according to their lawsuit. He also wants to ensure that Black players denied awards for dementia get a chance to be reexamined.

The Supreme Court rejected former President Donald Trump's last remaining challenge of the 2020 presidential election on Monday, denying his request for them to hear his case against the Wisconsin Elections Commission. "Otherwise, non-legislative state actors may be emboldened in future presidential elections to make even more last-minute changes to state election laws contrary to the Electors Clause than occurred in this year’s election." The Supreme Court ultimately disagreed with this position, denying Trump's request for it to hear the case. SUPREME COURT WON'T HALT TURNOVER OF TRUMP'S TAX RECORDSWood had sought an order to block lower court decision against him and to preserve election data.

Dr. Marc Siegel says a new experimental pill developed to treat COVID-19 could be the "holy grail of therapeutics" used against the virus. First-stage testing of Molnupiravir, developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, showed promising signs of effectiveness in reducing the virus in patients. "In trials, phase two trials, it’s showing that it gets rid of the virus completely, to where you can’t see any evidence of the virus," he added. "What’s left is to try it in thousands and thousands of people," Siegel said. "And if that goes through and that works, then we’re going to have something we really, really need."
