Thirty UCLA football players are demanding that certain measures for coronavirus protection be adopted or they will boycott recruiting activities.
UCLA football players and coaches take part in a video calling for change following the death of George Floyd.
Players thought it was telling that UCLA chose one football player to represent them on a stakeholder committee that met weekly with the return-to-training task force, rather than consulting with the team about who that player should be. Elliott said athletes from all sports were invited to a town hall in early June and told they could volunteer for the committee. The school settled on four athletes, one of which was a football player.
“Time and time again, we see individuals within [UCLA] Athletic programs who ought to defend and protect us leave us in the dark to fend for ourselves,” the document says, again not citing examples. “Starting with neglected and mismanaged injury cases, to a now mismanaged COVID-19 pandemic, our voices have been continuously muffled, and we will no longer stand for such blatant injustices.”

Albertsons sets IPO terms, seeing 'momentum' amid coronavirus pandemicAlbertsons Companies, Inc. has set terms of its initial public offering, seeking to sell 65.8 million shares in a range between $18 and $20 a share, according to a filing late Thursday. The company, which operates grocery stores under the Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco and other names as well as meal-kit company Plated, has filed to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ACI. Sales last year rose to $62.5 billion from $60.5 billion in 2018, and the company earned $466 million, or 80 cents a share, in 2019 compared with $131 million, or 23 cents a share, in 2018. The grocer said it is experiencing "momentum," giving it confidence it will "continue delivering profitable growth going forward." The coronavirus pandemic "has significantly increased" demand for food-at-home and online sales, and the company has built up its curbside pickup and other systems that it believes "will meaningfully improve the overall customer experience and enable us to drive growth and market share," it said. Albertsons said it was No. 1 or No. 2 by market share in most of the metropolitan areas it operates, and since the start of the pandemic has gained market share across most of its markets. "We believe that our competitive position will continue to strengthen as a result of customer receptiveness to our response to the challenges of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the strength of our supply chain," it said.
