Napsal: sob 25. srp 2018 7:20:12Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith believes the NFL "dropped the ball" with its new policy that forbids players from sitting or taking a knee on the field during the national anthem.
Smith is upset because he feels like the ruling has created a "false narrative" surrounding the message former NFL teammate Colin Kaepernick was originally trying to convey while taking a knee prior to NFL games.
He said it also paints players as anti-American.
"Guys aren't against the military Justin Jones Jersey Elite ," Smith said. "Kap originally started that against police brutality. It was never against the military. It was never about the military, but that narrative changed."
Smith, acquired in an offseason trade with the Eagles, denounced the league's ruling following Carolina's practice on Tuesday 鈥?its first since it was announced last week at the NFL owners meetings.
He said the restrictions imposed by the league on players go against the beliefs that protesters like Kaepernick have stood up for the past couple years.
"When you see reactive policy ... I always think that's a problem," Smith said. "Especially when the message has been changed. ... It makes it seem like Kaepernick or Eric Reid and the guys who started it, what they did was in vain 鈥?like they were villains. And that is not the case."
Smith reacted quickly to the league's change in policy on social media last week.
He tweeted : "Appropriate respect for flag and anthem" implies that guys were being disrespectful towards it. Which is an opinion. Most people who believe that ignore the responses from the players and more importantly why men chose to protest."
Smith was teammates with Kaepernickin San Francisco in 2015 and 2016 and got to know him well.
The league made the decision to fine teams whose players don't stand during the national without consulting with the NFL Players Association. There have been protests in different cities since the ruling came down with claims the league is interfering with the right to free speech.
Smith believes the NFL made a mistake bringing the issue 鈥?one he felt like was dying off 鈥?back to the forefront.
He said the league's policy to fine teams for players protesting likely will only serve to "stir things up " between players and owners this coming season.
"You're being told to be quiet, when it could have been done together to figure out what we can do to move forward and what would be best for the players," Smith said.
Smith has long been outspoken on public matters because he feels the platform of being a professional athlete should be used for the betterment of society.
"It's going to be a long-term process http://www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com/authentic-avonte-maddox-jersey , and we're just trying to do our part," he said. "That's essentially what the protests started with and we have to continue with. It's not so much about the protests but the work going forward."
Smith said he was disappointed, but not surprised by the league ruling.
"At the end of the day, the league is about money, it's a business," Smith said. "To try to silence those guys when they're trying to do the right thing for our country, I don't know what to say about it."
Chicago right-handed pitcher Dylan Covey says he is healthy and ready to get back to work when the White Sox head to Texas to begin a three-game series on Friday against the Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
Covey (3-2, 3.45 ERA) will pitch the series opener while Texas will counter with right-hander Yovani Gallardo (1-0 Youth Mike Remmers Jersey , 12.08).
Covey has been the White Sox’s steadiest starter this season and was protecting a 5-2 lead in the fourth against Oakland, his former team, June 23 when he felt some soreness in his hip and groin areas while he was coming off the mound and was removed from the game.
“I don’t know exactly what it was,” Covey said. “We didn’t get any tests done but all the manual tests they did said my strength is good. Just probably like a cramp or something like that that was lingering a little bit. I was feeling it on the mound, so definitely thinking about it.”
Covey was sidelined from May 26-Aug. 15 last season with a strained left oblique. He’s been a pleasant surprise for the White Sox this year, having drastically cut down his home run rate.
“Everything felt great — unless something weird happens, I’ll be good to go,” Covey said of his bullpen session on Tuesday. “That’s the plan. It didn’t really hurt. It was kind of a precautionary thing Oren Burks Jersey Elite , I think.”
Covey is 0-0 with a 20.25 ERA in two relief appearances against the Rangers.
Gallardo will make his fifth appearance and third start of the season on Friday. It will be his third start with the Rangers, with whom he’s allowed nine earned runs over 10 1/3 innings in his initial two starts.
Gallardo is slated to be working on extended five-days’ rest. He picked up the win in his last start, a 9-6 Rangers victory on Saturday in Minneapolis. Gallardo is 1-1 with a 4.79 ERA over four career starts versus the White Sox.
The White Sox had a delayed arrival into Texas after a 2-1 loss to Minnesota in 13 innings on Thursday.
Texas enjoyed an off day on Thursday after a 5-2 win over San Diego that gave the Rangers their fourth straight series win.
Texas got a sterling performance by left-hander Mike Minor, who retired the first 19 Padres’ batters before a single from Eric Hosmer with one out in the seventh. He retired 21 of the 22 batters he faced over seven innings.
The Rangers inked Minor to a three-year contract in the offseason. He was a starter with the Braves in 2010-14 before missing all of 2015-16 because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder and is starting to prove that the Rangers made the right move despite a slow start to the season.
I feel better, yeah,” Minor said after Wednesday’s game. “I feel a little bit more consistent with my delivery, repeating things. It’s more about what I think. I think I can do it.
“Early on, I still had the confidence. I just knew that I was a little bit off with my mechanics and everything Youth Weston Richburg Jersey , but I knew I had the stuff to get through a lineup three times, four times, whatever it is, and to go deep in ballgames.”
Texas is 9-3 over its past 12 games after losing six in a row.
Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was hit by a pitch in his first plate appearance during Wednesday win over the Padres, extending his on-base streak to 40 straight games.
That ties for the longest such streak in the Majors this season. Odubel Herrera of the Phillies reached base in 40 straight from March 30-May 19.
The Rangers dropped three of four games on May 17-20 on Chicago’s South Side in the first series between the two teams this season.
