– The big WWE 2K17 exclusive that Paul Heyman and his Heyman Hustle website were hyping on Monday night was a first look at the game’s My Career mode. You can see video above, the feature looks pretty badass.
– A hot topic across the country this summer has been mainstream sports stars protesting during the National Anthem by taking a knee or raising their fists. After last night’s Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL game, Randy Orton took to Twitter and commented on the protests. The Viper tweeted the following in response to sports editor Dave Zirin:
If you're sneering that it doesn't take courage to raise your fist during the anthem, then you're one of the reasons why it takes courage.

Sneering? More like shaking my head. Courage? Lol riiiight. Courage. Thats what it takes to stand up and fight, not raise a fist. https://t.co/DqQt11cNmS

Orton is getting a lot of negative responses for his politically charged tweet, with several people making reference to his spotty military record.
Takes a lot of courage to go AWOL and spend 38 days in a military prison too, right, @RandyOrton? https://t.co/R6KJeCKKfr

Randy, please tell me more about how you went AWOL.

Randy Orton went AWOL in the USMC not once but twice. Sounds pretty cowardly to me. https://t.co/Akb65EE3yj
