NAIROBI, Kenya — A bloody rivalry has emerged between extremist groups in Somalia as the al Qaeda-linked al-Shabab hunts upstart fighters allied to the Islamic State, who have begun demanding protection payments from major businesses, officials said.

Everyone looks terrible. Reuben Foster. Elissa Ennis. The 49ers. The Washington football team. And the NFL. Particularly the NFL. On Thursday morning Ennis, Foster’s former girlfriend, went on Good Morning America to tell her side. Sadly, it’s a story many of us expected to hear at some point.
