BIG NEWS, everybody. I just got an email from @CapitalRampit's attorneys and they are READY TO SETTLE! They will be firing Allegra later this morning and have asked me to review their draft apology. #FireAllegra
To make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again in the future, Rampit has also invited me to join their board as Executive Director of Employee Behavior and Ideas. Until further notice, please cancel #BoycottRampit and thank @CapitalRampit for their corporate citizenship.
The past 16 hours have left me exhausted but giddy. Thank you for all your kudos but the real heroes here are you, the people. Activism can be frustrating, but if we stay together the Good Guys can triumph against Hate. And Allegra What's-her-name.

The surprising history of Floyd of Rosedale, college football's best traveling trophy. Created to diffuse tensions over Minnesota's targeting of black Hawkeye halfback Ozzie Simmons in the 1934 game en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa%E2%8…
Even more backstory: Iowans' anger over the 1934 treatment of Simmons was amplified because of Jack Trice, a black Iowa State player who died after being stomped in the 1923 ISU-Minnesota game. ISU's stadium is named for him. sbnation.com/longform/2014/…
