ith students struggling to keep their phones alive through home football games, Texas Tech Athletics has worked with Tech’s Student Government Association to help solve this problem.

Starting this season, 500 portable chargers will be available for student use at Jones AT&T Stadium.

“We are going to this year, on the student side, provide chargers,” Robert Giovannetti, senior associate athletics Director for external operations and strategic communications, said.

“Remote chargers they can take back to their seat, they’ll just have to use their Student ID to check it out. Hopefully that’ll be something that addresses that need.”

The need for portable chargers was brought to the attention of Tech Athletics by SGA, with several complaints of phones dying as students attempted to record, text and use their phones over the course of the game that can last four or more hours.

“Something we worked in conjunction with the student government, we meet with the student government every year to hear their wants and needs and get their input,” Giovannetti said. “One of the concerns we had was students phones running out of battery power.”

For students looking to procure a charger during the game, all they will have to do is exchange their Student ID with one of the various charging stations and pick up a charger. To get their ID back, students must first turn the charger back in, Giovannetti said. Each charger is about the size of a standard cellphone, and will feature various cords for the most common phone types. There will also be a USB plug for people to plug in their own.

“It’ll be first come, first serve, we’ll have it set up inside (the stadium) by gate six,” Giovannetti said. “So they can come in at halftime, second quarter, third quarter, when they notice their phone is going low they can get it. (The chargers) look like your phone, and it's got a case that you open up and it’s got the cables inside it, or you could bring your own cord to use.”

Along with the change to introduce cooling stations and refilling sites for water bottles, Tech has placed an emphasis on improving student and fan experience at games over the last few years. The additions of mobile chargers to help students’ phones last throughout games is just another step toward improving the student experience at football games, Giovannetti said. The inspiration came from other schools trying similar methods around the country.

“We all looked at a lot of different schools, any time we travel we always look at what other schools are doing,” Giovannetti said. “We go to a road game, we’ll walk the concourse and see what other schools have done. We reached out to some of the other schools that have done this, we’ve seen some stadiums have had some charging stations, but people don’t want to do that. After looking at all of it, this is the best option.”

TTUHSC School of Medicine ranked No. 2

Chances for rain increasing

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences School of Medicine was recently ranked No. 2 in the nation for most affordable medical schools for out-of-state students by U.S. News and World Report.

When ranking medical schools, the publication considers tuition, scholarships available and the amount of debt students typically graduate with, according to a TTUHSC news release.

“Many different quality measures make our School of Medicine extremely competitive at a national level,” Dr. Steven Berk, TTUHSC executive vice president, provost and School of Medicine dean, said in the release. “Our students receive a quality education at a lower cost — one of the lowest in the nation.”

Of the seven Texas schools ranked in the top 10, TTUHSC was the highest, according to the U.S. News and World Report’s website.

The School of Medicine’s tuition and fees for out of students was reported as $31,194.

The school came in at a tie for No. 93 by the U.S. News and World

Throughout the week, temperatures are expected to start dropping throughout Lubbock while rain chances begin to increase.

The high for Wednesday is 94 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, with a chance for thunderstorms. While chances are slight most of the day at 20 percent, the percent goes up to 50 Wednesday night.

The chance stays at 50 percent through the day Thursday, with a projected high of 86 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The chance drops slightly into the night, going down to

Future doctors honored at White Coat Ceremony

By NATHAN NEEDHAM Staff Writer

As one of the most visible symbols of healthcare providers, 180 incoming students donned their white coat as an introduction into the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.

The 180 students come from universities across the country including Texas Tech, Baylor, University of Texas – Austin, Texas A&M, Brigham Young University, Cornell, UCLA, Stanford, Purdue, Yale, Emory and many more, according to a TTUHSC news release. The incoming class boasts an average GPA of 3.73.

Dr. Steven Berk, TTUHSC executive vice president, provost and dean of the School of Medicine, said the white coat is shared among healthcare professions and symbolizes the hard work and dedication the students have put forth to be invited into the profession

of medicine. It also highlights the commitment they make to patients.

“The white coat has symbolism for medical school, pharmacy school and health professions, so we all kind of share the same symbolism of the white coat,” Berk said. “But what I think it has always meant is commitment to patients, commitment to taking on responsibility as a physician, that feeling of taking on patients which is very different than any other responsibility they felt as a college student.”

Berk said Lubbock attracts medical students from all over the country to TTUHSC due to affordability and satisfaction.

“With student satisfaction we are in the top 10 percent on the basic science courses that they take, so they recognize that this is a medical school for which students have a very high level of satisfaction and as we have seen in recent weeks we

were ranked the sixth most affordable medical school in the United States,” Berk said. “So when you put the two together there are lots of positive metrics.”

Although the new students come from various parts of the U.S., Berk said the majority of the graduates will pursue their careers in medicine in West Texas.

“These are your physicians of the future. Most of these students, actually 65 percent of all our graduate students, end up practicing here in West Texas,” said Berk.

Amanda Bell, a medical student of the class of 2022 from Midland, graduated from West Texas A&M with a dual-degree in biochemistry and biology. Bell was recruited by West Texas A&M to play basketball. While there, she appeared with her team in the woman’s Elite Eight championship and achieved one of the top two Medical College Admission Test scores ever achieved at

West Texas A&M. After accomplishing numerous accolades while an undergraduate, Bell said she is excited to receive her white coat in front of her family and begin the experience to possibly pursue the field of cardiology.

“I am feeling a lot of things, but excitement is definitely at the top of my list. This is really special for me because I have my mom, dad and little brother here. This is symbolic of all the work we have put in together to get here, all the support and sacrifices we have made,” Bell said. “As far as future plans go, I may want to pursue cardiology, but it is up in the air at this point. I am excited to dive-in and get started.”

M a r y G i r g i s , a Te c h alumna from Colleyville and medical student of the class of 2022, graduated in May with an honor arts and letters degree, completing her honors thesis on “Infant

Necrotizing Enterocolitis: Is There a Microbiome Connection,” according to the honors college website.

These are your physicians of the future. Most of these students, actually 65 percent of all our graduate students, end up practicing here in West texas.

DR. STEVEN BERK SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DEAN Growing up with a mother who is a doctor, Girgis said she is pursuing a career in the field of medicine because she has always wanted to help people like her mother did.

“I have always wanted to be able to help people in a hands-on way, I grew up

watching my mom, who is a doctor, selflessly help people.

Even if we were on vacation, if someone was hurt she would help them,” Girgis said. “So, I have always wanted to follow in her footsteps.”

Feeling the anticipation and excitement in the room, Girgis said she is excited but also anxious.

“Right now, I am excited to get my white coat, but I am also kind of nervous for anatomy next week because that is when the real stuff starts,” Girgis said.

Girgis had access to numerous resources and organizations for potential medical students in the area, she said, and hopes for other students who wish to pursue the field of medicine to stay brave.

“Know that it is going to be hard to get here but if you know you really want to do it, it will be worth it in the end,” Girgis said, “So stick with your guns, no point intended, because Wreck ‘Em.” @NathanNeedhamDT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trump breaks with aides, tweets endorsement of Kobach WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump overruled the warnings of aides Monday to endorse hardline conservative Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in that state’s Republican gubernatorial primary.

In a morning tweet ahead of the Tuesday contest, Trump said Kobach has his “full & total Endorsement!” as he faces off against a field of candidates that includes incumbent Gov. Jeff Colyer.

“Kris Kobach, a strong and early supporter of mine, is running for Governor of the Great State of Kansas,” Trump added. “He is a fantastic guy who loves his State and our Country - he will be a GREAT Governor.”

Kobach gained a national profile as an ardent advocate of stricter voter identification laws in his state, including a requirement in Kansas law that new voters provide proof of citizenship when they register that a federal judge recently struck down. His views on immigration policy

also align with Trump’s and he advised the Trump campaign on a strategy for forcing Mexico to pay for the wall.

Kobach was the most prominent Kansas elected official — and the only one holding statewide office — to publicly endorse Trump ahead of the state’s 2016 presidential caucuses. Since Trump’s election, he has continued to advise the White House on immigration and homeland security issues.

Two Trump administration officials had told the AP in July that the president had been inclined to endorse Kobach ahead of the state’s Aug. 7 primary. But aides have warned the president that it would alienate Republicans loyal to Colyer, who succeeded Sam Brownback when Trump selected him for a diplomatic post.

The officials said the president had been on the verge of tweeting out an endorsement of Kobach last spring, but his staff intervened, warning of the repercussions. They

warned that Kobach’s hawkish immigration views may make him the weaker candidate in this fall’s general election, potentially setting up a prime opportunity for Democrats in the state. The officials believed they had prevailed on Trump to stay out of the race.

Still, Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, visited the Kansas City area in November and Wichita in July to hold fundraisers for Kobach.

An incumbent Kansas governor has lost a primary only twice since the state began holding such elections 110 years ago, the last time in 1956.

Colyer has portrayed himself as a conservative who can build consensus to govern, and he’s repeatedly expressed support for Trump, even joining other Republican governors earlier this year in suggesting Trump receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

But Kobach has run as a no-apologies conservative who revels in the criticism he

provokes on the left.

“We respect the Trump family’s loyalty, but as Bob Dole made clear in his endorsement of the governor — Dr. Colyer is the best candidate to win tomorrow and is the only candidate who can defeat the Democrats in the Fall,” said Colyer spokesman Kendall Marr.

After the 2016 presidential election, Kobach publicly backed Trump’s unsupported claim that “millions” of people voted illegally, costing Trump the popular vote. Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway later identified Kobach as one of the sources of the claim.

And in meeting with the president-elect after the election, Kobach brought a “strategic plan” for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that included a proposal for revising federal voter registration laws to promote proof-of-citizenship requirements by states like one Kobach championed in Kansas and struck down this year by a federal court.

Coworkers among 5 killed in 11 killed, nearly 70 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings Southern California plane crash CHICAGO (AP) — At least 11 people were shot and killed and about 70 others were wounded over the weekend in Chicago, in a spasm of gun violence that police attributed mostly to gangs and that the president’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, used to criticize the city’s Democratic leadership.

The violence peaked early Sunday, including one shooting on the city’s South Side that wounded eight people.

By comparison, at least seven people were killed and 32 were wounded during the long Memorial Day weekend, which is often one of the most violent weekends of the year for the city, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Gang members are using large summer crowds as cover

in some cases, police Patrol Chief Fred Waller said Sunday.

“They take advantage of that opportunity and they shoot into a crowd, no matter who they hit,” he said.

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson planned to discuss the violence at Monday news conference.

Police have said violent crime has declined overall in Chicago. Still, anti-violence protesters have blocked highways to voice their outrage.

Chicago ended 2017 with fewer homicides, 650, than 2016, when there were 771.

Although the drop was significant, it exceeded the combined number of killings in New York City and Los Angeles, which are the two U.S. cities bigger than Chicago.

Chicago’s gun violence has drawn widespread attention, including from President Donald Trump and his lawyer, Giuliani, who blamed the problem on Chicago’s longtime “Democratic rule” in a series of tweets on Sunday and Monday.

The former New York City mayor also tweeted his support for Chicago’s former superintendent, Garry McCarthy, referring to him as “Jerry” and calling him a “policing genius.”

McCarthy announced this year that he plans to run for mayor next February against Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who fired McCarthy in 2015 after the release of dashcam video showing a white police officer shoot a black teenager 16 times.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Witnesses watched in horror as a small plane banked low in sunny skies over a Southern California shopping center and then suddenly nosedived, crashing into a parking lot and killing all five people on board.

Ella Pham and her boyfriend were walking across the lot Sunday when they saw the twin-engine Cessna plummet.

“We looked up to see the plane falling nose first,” Pham, 20, told the Los Angeles Times . “It was so heartbreaking just seeing the plane crumbled into pieces.”

The pilot of the Cessna 414 and all four passengers were killed, but nobody on the ground was hurt, authorities said.

Three of the victims were co-workers at Pacific Union International, a San Francisco Bay Area real estate firm, and the two others were their family members, the company said.

Nasim Ghanadan, 29, Floria Hakimi, 62, and Lara Shepherd, 42, were real estate agents based out of an office in Danville, California. Hakimi’s son Navid Hakimi, 32, and Shepherd’s husband, Scott Shepherd, the plane’s 53-yearold pilot, were also killed.

“Our entire Pacific Union family is mourning the loss of our colleagues, family and friends,” CEO Mark A. McLaughlin said in a statement. “Life is precious and we are focused on comforting the loved ones affected by this devastating event.”

The plane took off from Buchanan Field Airport in Concord, California, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.

The pilot declared an emergency but didn’t state the nature of his problem before crashing about a mile from John Wayne Airport, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Albert Nixon said Monday.

Nixon didn’t know how much time elapsed between the distress call and the crash.

The plane was heading to the airport southeast of Los Angeles when it came down in the lot of a Staples store and a CVS pharmacy, Orange County Fire Authority Captain Steve Concialdi said.

There was no fire, he said.

Moms of 11 kids found at NM compound arrested

Trump reimposes sanctions to levy pressure on Iran

TAOS, N.M. (AP) — Three women believed to be the mothers of 11 children found hungry and living in a filthy makeshift compound in rural northern New Mexico have been arrested, following the weekend arrests of two men, authorities said Monday.

A message that people were starving, believed sent by someone inside the compound, led to the discovery of the children. A boy last seen in Alabama in December traveling with one of the men who was arrested has not been found.

Taos County, New Mexico, Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said that the women and the two men face charges of child abuse. He identified the women as Jany Leveille, 38-year-old Hujrah Wahhaj and 35-year-old Subhannah Wahha. They were arrested in the town of Taos and booked into jail.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday reimposing many sanctions on Iran, three months after pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, saying the U.S. policy is to levy “maximum economic pressure” on the country.

In a statement, Trump said the 2015 international accord to freeze Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions was a “horrible, one-sided deal” and said it left the Iranian government flush with cash to use to fuel conflict in the Middle East.

“We urge all nations to take such steps to make clear that the Iranian regime faces a choice: either change its threatening, destabilizing behavior and reintegrate with the global economy, or continue down a path of economic isolation,”

The children ranging in age from 1 to 15 were removed from the compound in the small community of Amalia near the Colorado border and turned over to state child-welfare workers.

Police are still are looking for AG Wahhaj, reported missing from Georgia’s Clayton County, Hogrefe said.

The boy’s mother told police he left with his father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, for a trip to a park and never returned.

The child was 3 at the time.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was detained on an outstanding warrant in Georgia alleging child abduction. Lucas Morten was jailed on suspicion of harboring a fugitive, Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said.

It was not clear over the weekend if they had lawyers.

Clayton County police said in a missing persons bulletin that Wahhaj and his son were last seen Dec. 13 in Alabama,

traveling with five other children and two adults.

The search at the compound came amid a twomonth investigation in collaboration with Clayton County authorities and the FBI, according to Hogrefe.

He said FBI agents had surveilled the area a few weeks ago but did not find probable cause to search the property.

That changed when Georgia detectives forwarded a message to Hogrefe’s office that initially had been sent to a third party, saying: “We are starving and need food and water.”

The sheriff said there was reason to believe the message came from someone inside the compound.

What authorities found was what Hogrefe called “the saddest living conditions and poverty” he has seen in 30 years on the job.

Trump said.

Trump warned that those who don’t wind down their economic ties to Iranian “risk severe consequences” under the reimposed sanctions.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says renewed U.S. sanctions on Iran will be rigorously enforced and remain in place until the Iranian government radically changes course.

Speaking to reporters en route from a three-nation trip to Southeast Asia, Pompeo said Monday’s reimposition of some sanctions is an important pillar in U.S. policy toward Iran. He said the Trump administration is open to looking beyond sanctions but that would “require enormous change” from Tehran.

“We’re hopeful that we can find a way to move forward but it’s going to require enormous change on the

part of the Iranian regime,” he said Sunday. “They’ve got to behave like a normal country. That’s the ask. It’s pretty simple.”

European foreign ministers said Monday they “deeply regret” the reimposition of U.S. sanctions.

A statement by European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom insisted that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal “is working and delivering on its goal” of limiting Iran’s nuclear program.

The ministers said the Iran deal is “crucial for the security of Europe, the region and the entire world.”

A senior administration official said the United States is “not particularly concerned” by EU efforts to protect European firms from the reimposition of sanctions.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Men’s Basketball announces non-conference home schedule

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

After posting several key games on the schedule over the last few weeks, Texas Tech revealed the full nonconference home schedule last week for the upcoming men’s basketball season.

Te c h w i l l h o s t n i n e non-conference games this season, with eight in the United Supermarkets Arena and one in the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum for Tech’s annual throwback game.

Tech opens its home slate with a game against Incarnate Word on Nov. 6.

Incarnate Word finished last season with a 7-21 record, jumping out to a 5-3 start before a 17-game losing streak derailed the season. Despite the shortcomings of last season, Incarnate Word will look to improve in the team’s sixth season since the program began in 2013.

Tech’s following two home games will be a part of the Hall of Fame Classic,

with games against Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 9 and Southeastern Louisiana on Nov. 13.

Mississippi Valley State finished last season with a record of 4-28, with a 20-game losing streak to start the season. The Delta Devils proceeded to win four of the next 12, and will look to get off to hot start in head coach Andre Payne’s fifth season. The Lions finished last season at 22-12 under first-year coach Jay Ladner.

Te c h ’ s n e x t h o m e opponent will be Northern Colorado on Nov. 24 in the United Supermarkets Arena. The Bears took a leap in coach Jeff Linder’s second season, improving to a 26-12 record after posting an 11-18 record in Linder’s first season with the team. With a strong senior class graduating, the Bears will look to their youth to improve.

Tech’s next two home games will be against Arkansas Pine-Bluff on Dec. 5, followed by

Northwestern State on Dec. 12. The Golden Lions started the 20172018 season with an 0-14 record, before going 14-7 over the latter half of the season after a seven-game winning streak to start the new year. The Demons season did not go to plan, with a 4-25 finish in head coach Mike McConathy’s 19th season. In the past, Northwestern State has frequently been over .500, so the Demons will be tough foe for the Red Raiders towards the end of non-conference play.

Te c h ’ s n e x t h o m e game will be the annual throwback game, as Tech hosts Abilene Christian in the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. ACU went 16-16 last season, with the Wildcats biggest loss coming in a 74-47 rout by Tech. In last year’s contest, Tech defeated Rice by a score of 73-53.

Tech’s last two nonconference home games will be against UTRGV on Dec. 28, and Arkansas on Jan.

Texas Tech students put their Guns Up in support of a Tech free throw attempt during the men’s basketball game against Oklahoma on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018, in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech will play nine home non-conference games during the 2018-19 season.

26. The game against the Razorbacks will take place during conference play, as part of the annual SEC/ Big 12 Challenge. UTRGV finished last season with a 15-18 record in coach Lew Hill’s second season.

Along with the nine

home games in nonconference play, Tech will have nine home games against Big 12 foes, bringing the total number of Red Raider home games to 18. With a strong season of improvement to build on from the year before,

Tech coach Chris Beard and his young squad will look to make the United Supermarkets Arena as big of a home court advantage as it was last season, when Tech posted a 17-1 record at home. @AustinWattsDT

Red Sox stun Yankees for 4-game sweep Arenado’s homer lifts Rockies over Brewers BOSTON (AP) — Andrew Benintendi’s hit bounced a handful of times before finding its way into center field for the winning run and a big four-game sweep over the rival Yankees.

The Red Sox now find themselves in firm control of the AL East.

Benintendi’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th capped Boston’s rally from three runs down in the ninth against New York closer Aroldis Chapman, and the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep with a 5-4 victory Sunday night.

“Any 10 hopper that goes through for a hit feels pretty good,” the usually quiet

Benintendi said, breaking into a grin. “Everybody knew how big the series was. We came in and did what we wanted to do. We kind of stole this one.”

Boston opened a 9 1/2-game lead atop the division over the Yankees, who lost their seasonhigh fifth straight.

“It feels like another great win, obviously it was against our rivals,” Boston’s J.D. Martinez said.

Mookie Betts hit his 26th homer for Boston (7934), which has won eight of nine games and owns the majors’ best record.

The Yankees hadn’t been swept in a four-game series by the Red Sox when they

entered a series 30 or more games over .500 since Hall of Famer Ted Williams’ rookie season in 1939, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

“A tough way to obviously end a tough weekend, but we can’t let this define what’s been a great season,” manager Aaron Boone said.

Sandy Leon looped a two-out single off Jonathan Holder (1-3) in the 10th and advanced on a wild pitch. Tony Renda pinchran before Benintendi’s single up the middle to the right of the second-base bag into center field.

Matt Barnes (4-3) worked a perfect inning in the top of the 10th.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Colorado Rockies can finally relax on the flight home.

Nolan Arenado hit a goahead homer with two outs in the 11th inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 on Sunday thanks to an overturned replay review.

Arenado’s 29th homer of the season came off Brewers closer Corey Knebel (2-2) and helped the Rockies avoid a sweep, giving them a sigh of relief after finishing an otherwise tough Midwest trip losers of five of seven.

“These games, they’ve been extremely stressful,” Arenado said. “They’ve been tough on us. We needed to

win that game.”

With Colorado closer Wade Davis struggling, the Brewers rallied for three runs in the ninth off Adam Ottavino in a save situation.

Given a second chance, newly acquired reliever Seunghwan Oh closed out the Brewers in the 11th.

Scott Oberg (7-0) got the win, allowing a hit erased by a double play in the 10th.

Nothing came easy, though.

Oh allowed a hit to Travis Shaw to lead off the 11th.

After getting Ryan Braun to fly out, Jonathan Schoop singled to put men on first and second.

Erik Kratz then hit a grounder, and Schoop was

LeBron James adds Showtime doc to his small-screen portfolio BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

(AP) — LeBron James has yet to play a minute for the Los Angeles Lakers, yet the NBA superstar is already busy in Hollywood.

James is behind the threepart documentary series, “Shut

Up and Dribble,” announced Monday by Showtime.

Set to debut in October, the same month James suits up for his new team, the series looks at the changing role of athletes in the current political and cultural climate against the

backdrop of the NBA. Its title comes from a comment Fox News host Laura Ingraham made to James in February when she sought to rebuke him for talking politics during an interview.

forced out at second. Kratz was initially ruled safe at first, but it took 58 seconds to overturn the call on video review, ending the game on the double play.

“Didn’t see it, I assume they got it right,” Kratz said. “We have to assume they got it right.”

It was Oh’s first save since coming from Toronto in a July 26 trade.

Davis, who blew consecutive save opportunities on Thursday and Friday, could only watch Ottavino do the same in a wild ninth inning.

“He had some unfortunate happenings around him,” Rockies manager Bud Black said.

producer of the series along with his business partner Maverick Carter and his agent Rich Paul. Gotham Chopra, who directed Showtime’s “Kobe Bryant’s Muse” in 2015, helmed the project.

The series traces the modern history of the league and its players starting with the 1976 merger of the freewheeling American Basketball Association and the National Basketball Association, how the top players have expanded their notoriety off the court in fields such as business and fashion while becoming icons in the process.

James has another show, “The Shop” debuting Aug. 28 on HBO in which he leads conversation and debate among his guests in barbershops around the country.

James found himself drawn into politics last week when President Donald Trump unleashed a withering attack on him in a tweet after an interview aired with CNN anchor Don Lemon in which he deemed Trump divisive.

Although James has long been a Trump critic, calling the president “U bum” in a 2017 tweet, the tweet was Trump’s first attack on the player, who just opened up a school for underprivileged children in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
