Racial, homophobic slurs found in Montrose lockers prior to Mesa Ridge’s road playoff football game Mesa Ridge football coaches and players found racial and homophobic slurs along with a swastika in their lockers at Montrose on Saturday prior to their football game.

This should have no place in football, let alone modern society. Yet it's a persistent and insidious menace that so many face daily.
We need to do better at stamping out hate and intolerance: gazette.com/news/educati...

I hope the Mesa Ridge kids are doing alright after this.

Still can’t believe what incredible performance the Switchbacks had in the playoffs this year, outscoring opponents 8-1 is insane. Absolute masterclass on the defensive side and Herrera was a brick wall between the posts…
Congrats lads, party hard you earned it!

The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

Hi Bluesky! I'm Bernadette and cover all things business/economy in Denver. Lately, I've been covering plenty of organizations supporting some of the city's main business corridors, from BIDS to GIDS to DDDAs.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
