Initial observations from the CU Buffs’ 45-42 win over the TCU Horned Frogs in head coach Deion Sanders’ debut in Fort Worth, Texas.Prime Effect: It’s a topic that’s been beaten to death all offseason, but if you were living under rock for the last nine months and turned on the Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday morning, it was immediately clear what Coach Prime has done off the field for Colorado. Here we are on the first full weekend of college football, and the topic dominating one of its most-watched game day shows is the CU Buffs. Then, after the play actually starts, there’s Deion Sanders standing next to Nick Saban to start the first commercial break … with Ralphie making a late cameo!?!?! Strange days, indeed.

'Latinx': Why do many Hispanics hate the term?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:01:58 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — National Hispanic Heritage Month officially kicks off Sept. 15, marking the 35th year of the celebration of Hispanic cultures and their contributions to the U.S. As Hispanic people continue being one of the U.S.' most visible communities, many questions about terminology arise.The current most common ways Hispanic populations refer to themselves are “Hispanic,” “Latino/Latina” and “Chicano,” but the newer gender-neutral term “Latinx” attempts to be more inclusive to non-binary members of the population. Which states have the most confrontational drivers? “Non-binary” means those who don’t identify as male or female: These are people who have a gender that blends elements of either, or people have a gender that is neither male or female.
