Публикувано на: 05 Сеп 2018 05:36New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is calling for reform of the criminal justice system after visiting rapper Meek Mill in a Pennsylvania prison.
Kraft and Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin visited the Philadelphia-born rapper on Tuesday.
Kraft said Mill's incarceration makes it clear that "we have to do something with criminal justice reform." Rubin said he believes Mill will be released soon.
Mill , whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, is fighting for release while appealing a two- to four-year sentence for a probation violation.
A judge said his drug use , arrests and other issues while under supervision merited the jail time. Mill's lawyers accuse her of a "personal vendetta."
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney also visited Mill Wednesday for an hour at Rubin's invitation, according to a representative.
The Minnesota Vikings have signed four players who took part in their rookie minicamp , including wide receiver Chad Beebe, the son of former Buffalo Bills wideout and folk hero Don Beebe.
Beebe led Northern Illinois last season with an average of 14.9 yards per reception. His father was a wide receiver and special teams player on all four of Buffalo's Super Bowl teams .
The Vikings also signed cornerback Craig James (Southern Illinois) , fullback Johnny Stanton (UNLV) and linebacker Brett Taylor (Western Illinois) from their camp last weekend.
Long snapper Nick Dooley, wide receiver Armanti Foreman , defensive tackle Caushaud Lyons and fullback Kamryn Pettway were waived Monday by the Vikings to make room on the 90-man roster. Foreman and Pettway were signed a week ago as undrafted free agents.
