EEOC targets Coca-Cola bottler over all-women networking event

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast alleging sex discrimination for hosting a two-day networking event for about 250 female employees at a Connecticut casino, excluding men; Coca-Cola itself is not named as a defendant. The case, a test of Trump-era DEI skepticism, centers on whether excluding a protected class from an employer-sponsored event violates federal law; attendees were excused from duties and had hotel costs covered.

Global Pride: What People Say Makes a Nation Worth Proud

Pew Research Center surveyed 33,486 people in 25 countries to ask what makes them proud of their country. Across the board, pride most often centers on the people and diversity of a nation, with culture and lifestyle also frequently cited. Some countries highlight political systems or the economy (e.g., democracy and welfare in Sweden; governance in Germany; economic development in Japan and Indonesia), while others emphasize arts, cuisine, or national heritage (France, Italy, Mexico, Spain). Negative or critical feelings appear in several places (e.g., parts of Greece, Hungary, the U.K., and the U.S.), and in the U.S. pride in freedoms often coexists with partisan divides. Overall, pride reflects a mix of people, culture, institutions, and resources, with country-specific nuances.

NFL Coaching Carousel Slows on Diversity as Numbers Dip

Albert Breer argues the NFL’s diversity push has stalled: the league’s share of minority and Black head coaches has fallen markedly from 2024 to 2025, and the scrapping of the Accelerator program coincides with a drop in minority hires. The piece analyzes why the remaining Black and minority coaches have defensive backgrounds, notes the small number of Black offensive coordinators, and surveys upcoming openings and candidate possibilities, warning that DEI momentum may be a major topic into the next cycle.

Goodell Defends Rooney Rule as Coaching Diversity Remains Elusive

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the Rooney Rule at a Super Bowl press conference, arguing it helps teams evaluate a diverse slate of coaching candidates even as this hiring cycle produced 10 openings with only one minority hire and no Black head coaches; he emphasized the rule requires interviews rather than guarantees hires, and said the league will continue reviewing policies (including the accelerator program) to improve future outcomes and accountability across all clubs.

Goodell Faces Scrutiny Over NFL’s Black-Head-Coach Hiring Gap

As the NFL completed its latest head‑coach cycle, nine of ten openings were filled by white men, with Robert Saleh the lone non‑white hire, leaving three Black head coaches in 2026. The piece argues the league cannot mandate hires and that ownership drives decisions, despite Rooney Rule efforts, so Goodell is set to face questions about diversity and whether the league’s actions translate into real change rather than virtue signaling.

Oscars Go Global: 2026 Noms Highlight World Cinema Era

The 2026 Oscar nominations show a historic tilt toward world cinema, with a record share of non-English-language noms and about a quarter of Academy members living abroad. This internationalization broadens the slate across categories (including multiple non-English Best Picture contenders and several acting nominations), though precursors remain uneven predictors of the final winners, underscoring the Academy’s shift away from a US-centric taste.

Diversified workouts linked to longer life, study suggests

A BMJ Medicine study tracking about 110,000 US adults over 30 years found that people who engaged in a broader mix of activities were 19% less likely to die than those who stuck to a single exercise. Variety provided added protection beyond any one sport, with six hours of moderate activity or three hours of vigorous activity per week appearing optimal; combining workouts with complementary benefits (like resistance plus cardio) was particularly beneficial. The study notes that while results are robust, it cannot prove causation and other lifestyle factors were accounted for in the analysis.
