The Notre Dame football team, inspired by late gridiron star
George Gipp and the most famous halftime pep talk in sports
history, rallied to upset undefeated Army in front of 85,000
fans at Yankee Stadium on this day in history, Nov. 10, 1928.

Legendary head coach Knute Rockne’s impassioned "Win one
for the Gipper" speech echoed through the decades — far
beyond the football field — and entered American cultural,
political and
military lore.

for the entire world to follow. He also specifically noted his
intense support for "LGBTQ children" and "transgender
children."

"You’re some of the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever
known. And I’ve known a lot of good folks," Biden said. "You set
an example for the nation — and quite frankly for the world."

backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White

the U.S. Flag Code.

U.S. Flag Code §7. (e), which reads, "The flag of the United
States of America should be at the center and at the highest
point of the group when a number of flags of States or
localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed
from staffs."
