“The Way Of Water Has No Beginning And No End. The Sea Is Around You And In You.” When we first heard Tsireya say this to Neteyam, it was a front for the metaphor of how “Pandora” is in all of us and how the end of something is the beginning of something else—the wheel of time, per se. The movie had one message that was crystal clear: the dangers that follow the exploitation and destruction of the natural world. But what does Avatar have to do with this news? Well, something weird has been going on in Florida—the Everglades has a problem. Call it an “action to address environmental challenges” or a sneaky mining operation—the Everglades rock mine project doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence in the people—one of whom is Florida native Warren Sapp.

Every Colorado fan knows who Sapp is (if you don’t, then you don’t even follow Buffs football properly). However, the point is that Sapp is famous amongst the players and is a core part of Deion Sanders‘ coaching staff despite being only a GA. Now when Unc Sapp decides to highlight an issue on his IG story, you should automatically assume it is something serious. “We’ve got red tide, a proposed rock mine, and polluted discharges happening right now,” Chris Wittman from Captains For Clean Water points out. As we pointed out before, Florida is going through some bad stuff, and this could heavily damage the already damaged water supply for the people.

This initiative, which started way back in 2016 by Wittman and his team, aims to find a valid solution to resolving the water issues and the threat to the way of life of Floridians. See the Rock Mine drama? Well, long story short: The South Florida Water Management District is continuously pushing for the excavation of nearly 9.4 million tons of sand and limestone (annually).

After the operation is over, SFWMD will move on to build a water reservoir in its place. However, environmental scientists have urged that there is little to no benefit of this for the Everglades. “We’ve studied this application, and we see no meaningful water quality component of it,” Eve Samples, executive director for Friends of the Everglades, pointed out.

Even when we scoured the internet and checked through the comments of the people, most of the Floridians were “not happy” with this decision. “This is not a good deal for taxpayers and not a good deal for the citizens of Florida,” Samples had added.

As long as people like Sapp continue to share updates on such a grave scenario, maybe more people will join the arms and finally work towards something good concerning water quality. Although we must say, it still feels kind of weird that Sapp, despite being a massive advocate for such issues, had to face such massive discrimination by the Okeechobee Sheriff’s Department.

Warren Sapp goes for $20M Lawsuit

Roll back to last year, and Sapp was out there minding his own business in Florida. That is exactly when he saw a few officers pull over a guy for speeding. Everything was fine till now; however, Sapp didn’t miss the handling issues that were on during that arrest, and he, as a law-abiding citizen, went up to point it out.

Lo and behold, officers slammed Sapp for “obstructing,” and when the GA spoke of his constitutional rights, he was “detained” by an officer. The charges were instantly dropped a few days later, and now Sapp has finally filed a lawsuit against the department.

“The chief’s lack of accountability led Warren to file a $20 million lawsuit against the Sheriff’s department. 5.7 for future medical expenses, five for loss of wages, and nine for aggregate damages,” seensatansports revealed. We are yet to see any other major revelations happening surrounding the case.

Still, Sapp pointed out on The Pregame Show that a portion of the lawsuit would be given away to people. “I’m gonna give a portion to the victims’ advocate or people who have been put in this position who can’t go get the bodycam, who don’t have the money and time to drive 115 miles and file public records requests,” Sapp had mentioned.

No wonder why literally everyone at camp calls this man UNC.
