Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane said that he sat during the national anthem before Thursday nights preseason game against the Oakland Raiders to show support for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.I just like what hes doing, and Im standing behind him, Lane said.Its something I plan on keep on doing, until I feel like justice is being served.Lanes decision comes less than a week after Kaepernick first sat in protest of American racial injustice and minority oppression.Kaepernick and teammate Eric Reid took a knee during the anthem before the 49ers game against the Chargers in San Diego on Thursday night.Lane, 26, is in his fifth year with Seattle. He re-signed with the team during the offseason and is expected to start opposite Richard Sherman. He said he did not tell his teammates about his decision beforehand, and that Kaepernick was not a friend or acquaintance.Asked if hes prepared to deal with the reaction to his decision, Lane said, Yeah, I am prepared for it. And I dont mean no disrespect to anybody, but Im just standing behind what I believe in.Sherman said Lane had strong conviction when he made the decision to sit.Any time you stand up against the flag, its going to be perceived something, Sherman said. Obviously Jeremy doesnt stand against those who sacrifice for this country or anything like that. He obviously understands the guys who have made the greatest sacrifice for our country and our freedom, but he also understands the oppression that our country has put African-Americans and minorities through for years.So yeah, I think that is something that they are trying to get recognized and looking for people to make a change too. Even with all of this, you are getting African-American veterans reaching out and saying that they have been discriminated against even in the service, so I think this discussion that Colin started is going to evolve into something deeper.Seahawks coach Pete Carroll did not know Lane was going to sit during the anthem but spoke with the cornerback in the locker room after the game.Its totally an individual decision, but these are very interesting issues that were dealing with right now, Carroll said. Our team has been working at it, and weve been in the process of communicating about a lot of stuff right now. That was an individual thing. But Im really proud of the progress were making in the conversation, and I look forward to continuing it with our guys.Its really important to us to understand and to be smart about what were doing and how we handle our business. Like Ive been telling you, we have a great group of guys that lead this team, and theyre going to help us as we move forward. Im very much in support of them and how we handle it. This was an individual statement tonight.The individuals in this program have always been very crucial to us, and recognizing them. This is another time we support our guys.ESPN.coms Paul Gutierrez contributed to this report. Jack Youngblood Jersey . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective.

The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope.

"I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. In a year that saw Leicester City capture the English Premiere League title and the Cleveland Cavaliers win the NBA Championship, its fitting that one of these hard-luck franchises will finally make it to the World Series.? Oh, you dont consider the Dodgers hard-luck?? Fine, if youre over 30 years old, but consider this:? Every other team within their respective divisions have been to the World Series since either the Cubs or the Dodgers have.Chicago comes in with a rested rotation, set in the order they want, while the Dodgers have to deal with the aftermath of their thrilling Game 5 win over Washington, when they used three different top-of-the-rotation arms to escape.? Still, under most realistic scenarios, theyyre certain to get at least two starts (and maybe more appearances) out of Clayton Kershaw if they are to advance to their first World Series since Tommy Lasorda patrolled the dugout.ddddddddddddhe Cubs are rested, have home field advantage and were obviously the best team in the majors all season, so its no surprise they are heavy favorites in this series.? The question for our Chalk team, however, is if the Cubs are favored by too much or too little.? Joe Peta, still perfect this postseason, and Dave Tuley, who has already self-identified as a lifelong Cubs fan give us their thoughts.
