Was wichtig istBehindertenrechte: Wieso tut sich in Österreich seit Jahren nichts? Seit 2008 gilt in Österreich die Behindertenrechtskonvention der Vereinten Nationen. Sie garantiert Würde, ein selbstbestimmtes Leben ohne Diskriminierung; Chancengleichheit und Barrierefreiheit, Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben und Inklusion.

Nick Saban & Alabama's savior at QBAaron Murray and T-Bob Hebert discuss rumors of former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis being taken first overall by the Carolina Panthers in the NFL Draft? Would it be a mistake to take Levis over Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's CJ Stroud, or Florida's Anthony Richardson?

Could he be joining Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, who are facing a quarterback dilemma of their own?
