Lawyers for three Black NFL coaches alleging racial bias by the league took aim directly at Commissioner Roger Goodell in their latest arguments against arbitrating a dispute they say belongs before a jury. In papers filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, the lawyers wrote that arbitration, which would be led by Goodell, would allow “unconscionably biased one-sided ‘kangaroo courts’" to decide the outcome of the lawsuit filed in February. They say Goodell could not be fair in overseeing and ruling on the dispute as to whether the league engages in systemic discrimination. They cited the hundreds of millions of dollars he earns from teams and his public statement that the suit is without merit.
Federal transportation officials say in a highly critical report that the Boston-area’s aging subway system has for years neglected safety and maintenance while it focused on long-term capital projects. The Federal Transit Administration’s 90-page report on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority released Wednesday was based on a review started earlier this year in response to several accidents on the system. The FTA’s report also includes four special directives mandating 53 separate actions that the transportation authority must take to address safety deficiencies. General Manager Steve Poftak says the authority is committed to working with the Federal Transit Administration and has already started addressing some of its concerns.
For as long as Serena Williams remains in the U.S. Open bracket, one overwhelming question hangs over the tournament: Could this be the last chance to watch her play? The second opportunity for spectators to shower Williams with adoration at what is possibly her final tournament is scheduled for Wednesday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Her opponent is No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit, a 26-year-old from Estonia. Kontaveit's current ranking is much better than Williams’ is but her career resume lacks so much as one quarterfinal victory at any Slam event. The 40-year-old Williams has hinted this will be her final tournament. The 23-time major champion won her first trophy at Flushing Meadows at age 17 in 1999.
Hundreds of supporters, as well as advocates for victims of clergy sexual abuse, attended retired Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland's funeral, which was marked by an open acknowledgement of his mistakes. Weakland died Aug. 22 at age 95. He led the Milwaukee Archdiocese for 25 years before stepping down after a theology student revealed he had been paid $450,000 in 1997 to settle a sexual assault claim against Weakland. Weakland maintained the contact was consensual, but he also admitted in 2008 that he had moved sexually abusive priests from parish to parish. At his funeral Tuesday, the Rev. Steven Avella said Weakland's mistakes were hanging over the ceremony. He says many people loved Weakland, but that some did not and their anger can't be dismissed.
Michigan's Board of Canvassers is set to decide whether a ballot initiative that seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution should go before voters in November. The Bureau of Elections determined the initiative's petition received enough signatures to qualify for the ballot last week and recommended the board approve it. Hundreds of supporters and protesters turned out ahead of the board's scheduled vote Wednesday. The proposed amendment seeks to replace a 91-year-old state law that bans abortion in all instances except to save the life of the pregnant woman and its inclusion on the ballot is expected to heavily impact the battleground state's election.

Authorities say a second-grade student at a southeastern Arizona elementary school is facing charges for allegedly bringing two guns and ammunition to school. Cochise County Sheriff’s officials say they were called Monday to Cochise Elementary School on reports that a 7-year-old student had a weapon. Deputies met with school officials and the student and say a handgun and ammunition was found in his backpack and a second gun also was discovered. Authorities contacted the student’s parents and gave the boy a juvenile referral for charges of misconduct with a weapon and a minor in possession of a firearm.
