I noticed they started to make adjustments so I had to keep making adjustments. Everybody was playing good defence behind me, they gave me the four runs and that happened to be all we needed,” Knowles said. “I noticed that they were hitting the slider a bit more so I said we have to get further inside, mix it up

Celtics take 3-2 lead By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON (AP) — Rookie Jayson Tatum scored 24 points and Al Horford had 15 points and 12 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 96-83 last night and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics remained perfect in Boston this postseason with their 10th straight victory at home and moved within one win of their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2010. Game 6 is in Cleveland on Friday night, with the decisive seventh game back in Boston on Sunday if necessary. The home team has won every game so far in the series, and none has been closer than nine points. LeBron James had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Kevin Love scored 14 points for the Cavaliers, who are trying to reach the finals for the fourth consecutive season. James has played to the end in seven straight seasons. The Celtics opened a double-digit lead in the first quarter and nursed it the rest of the way, holding on through a four-minute scoring drought that saw Cleveland score nine straight points to cut the deficit to 83-71. But Terry Rozier hit Horford with an alley-oop to snap the skid, and that was as close as the Cavs would get. James seemed to tire in the fourth, scoring just two points on four shots. He finished 1-for-6 from 3-point range in the game; the Cavaliers made just 9 of 34 attempts from beyond the arc and shot just 42 percent overall. Tatum added seven rebounds, four assists and four steals one day after finishing one vote shy of a unanimous selection to the NBA’s All-Rookie team. Jaylen Brown scored 17, and Marcus Morris and Marcus Smart each scored 13 as reserves. Boston went on a 15-3 run

The Celtics scored nine in a row at the end of the first quarter and into the second to take a 36-19 lead, their biggest of the game. That’s when the Cavaliers fought back. After a hard defensive play by Morris sent Larry Nance Jr into the first row of seats, Morris appeared to wander over and say something that caused

Nance to jump up and body check him. Morris responded with a one-handed shove to the face. Aron Baynes and Brown came in to break it up, and Terry Rozier put a body on Nance. After a review, the referees called technicals on Rozier, Nance and Morris. Kyle Korver made the foul shot to make it 36-20 and Cleveland went on a 9-0 run to cut the deficit to eight points, 36-28.

But Morris made a long 3-pointer to stop the scoring drought, and soon hit another to cap an 8-2 run that made it a double-digit lead. TIP-INS Teams that win Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in a bestof-seven series win 83 per cent of the time. James had 16 points, four rebounds and three assists at the half. Tatum had 13 points, and Horford had 10

points and seven boards at the break. Baynes made his first start of the series, subbing for Morris. It took until midway through the third quarter for a Cavs starter other than James or Love to make a basket. J.R. Smith sank a floater to make it 63-50, and George Hill followed with a jumper of his own. The Celtics were 10-0 in the playoffs at home in 1986.

THE TRIBUNE

Eighth annual Junior International Rugby Festival a resounding success THE Freeport Rugby Football Club was buzzing with excitement over the weekend as five teams competed in the club’s eighth annual Junior International Rugby Festival. From the Friday night welcome party to a full day of rugby action on Saturday, to the final games on Sunday, there was no shortage of fun for all the players, coaches, parents and supporters. “This year was our busiest festival with over 300 boys and girls playing rugby,” said Rob Speller, president of the FRFC. “The weather was fantastic with cloudy and breezy conditions and all the games were played in good spirit and with great enthusiasm, with no major injuries.” Despite a few weatherrelated travel issues, Key Biscayne, Cayman, Bermuda and Nassau managed to make their way to Freeport for the club’s annual youth rugby tournament. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, players from under-8 to under-16 competed, including a thrilling girls vs. boys match featuring Freeport’s emerging girls’ rugby team. Saturday’s final match was a physical full-field under-16 match that saw some terrific tries scored by Freeport’s Titus Lockhart and Cameron Chandler. Sunday’s action included team challenges, as well as mixed age-group matches that gave players a chance to suit up alongside some of their opponents. Following the conclusion of the tournament, everyone made their way to Banana Bay for a relaxing afternoon of food and drinks punctuated by some beach rugby. “This weekend was even better than we could have hoped for,” said Stephen Sheehan, FRFC youth development officer. “To see so many kids playing rugby and making new friends is what this tournament and sport is all about.” FRFC would like to extend its gratitude to the many sponsors and

‘The Tank’ returns home to get ready for the ‘Backyard Rumble’ By DENISE MAYCOCK Tribune Freeport Reporter dmaycock@tribunemedia.net BAHAMIAN pro-boxer Sherman ‘The Tank’ Williams is back home in Freeport from a Florida training camp ahead of his headline fight in the nation’s second city this weekend. The Tank, and his wife, Kimberley, of Bahamian Sons Promotion, are hosting their first event, ‘Backyard Rumble’ on Saturday, May 26 at the Social Affair Convention Center. He will take on former WBA FedeCentral champion Epifanio “Diamante” Mendoza (43-26) of Colombia. Three Bahamian amateur fighters will also make their professional boxing debut at the showcase. The official weigh-in will be at Pirate’s Cove on Taino Beach on Friday. The Tribune caught up with The Tank this week during his first public workout session at the YMCA, where he also took time out to engage and take photos with the youngsters there from the Karate and Swim Clubs. “This is where it all started for me many years ago,” he said, of the YMCA where he first got involved in the boxing programme as a kid. After five weeks in training camp in Florida, Sherman is feeling great and looking forward to an exciting fight right in his backyard here in Grand Bahama. “It is a pleasure to be back home where it first started - I am feeling good, and I am feeling great, he said, following a light work-out session of shadow boxing.

“I was in training camp for five weeks and rather than staying in Florida, I thought it was imperative to get home early and finish my training here at the Y,” he said. This week Sherman is doing some light workout with a little bit of running in the mornings and light shadow boxing. Reminiscing on his earlier years, Sherman said the YMCA continues to play an essential role in youth development on Grand Bahama. “This is where it all started for me many years ago right here because there was nothing to do. Where we are standing now was the skating rink. The YMCA was the only thing you had to do on the weekend, and I started with the boxing programme, and it took me all over the world, and I won multiple championships,” he recalled. The Tank (39/15/2) the is Bahamas Heavyweight Champion, former WBO China Zone Asian Pacific, WBF World Title, NBA World Title, WBA FedeCaribe, and WBC FedeCaribe. Mendoza, 42, also holds the WBO Latino and WBC Latino titles. Sherman said that Bahamians would not want to miss the ‘drama in Grand Bahama.’ “All I can say is come I Saturday, May 26, the ‘conch punch’ will on display; I expect all Grand Bahamians to be here,” he said. Sherman said that Freeport has been struggling for a long time and his goal is to get Grand Bahama back on the map. At this point in his professional career, Sherman has decided to use his connections to get an association

Photo: Denise Maycock/Tribune staff going in Grand Bahama to try to train some referees and officials. Bahamian Sons Promotion, he said, plans to hold many more fights in the future. “There has been a lot of talks, and I get emails every weekend talking about investing in GB. I made a conscious decision to make that move, and I think that this Saturday will be the first of many fights to come, and the eventual goal is to have television here by November,” Sherman said. “Hopefully, there is a casino or hotel or something open by that time that can hold a large televised event. But our goal is to move forward with GB and

most importantly to leave a real social benefit.” “You know Freeport has been pimped out with these concerts and other things that don’t leave anything behind for young Bahamians. This event by Bahamian Sons Promotion is a Bahamian event; we will have three amateur fighters from Nassau that is turning professional on this showcase, and I think this will be the start of a bright future for GB.” Rasheed Williams, Tyrone Oliver, and Justin ‘Psycho’ Sawyer, also out of Nassau, will be making their pro-debut. Jonathan Pierre, aka ‘Haitian Sensation fighter out of Port-au-Prince, and

Port St Lucie, Florida, will be fighting Anthony Woods from Nassau. Chris Vendola (8/6) of the USA will fight Yendris Valdes (2/2), from Havana, Cuba. And Bahamian Amron Sands (2/0) of Orlando, FL, will take on Jerry Butler (9/13/1) of Nassau. “So, there will be five exciting bouts, and we will have a live Bahamian band,” said Sherman. Asked how he felt about the revival of the sport of boxing in the Bahamas, particularly in Grand Bahama, he said: “It is long overdue. We have a rich history of boxing and a lot of people don’t know before we had the Golden Girls, people

like Tommy A Robinson, and all these (other) people, the champions from the Bahama were in boxing like Elijah Obed, Gomeo Brennen, Yamaha Bahama. People forget about these legends, and nobody even talks about these guys, he said. Sherman believes that there is also the potential for Bahamians in the UFC and MMA fighting. “The potential is here, and we are looking to reach the community in a big way,” he said. As a gesture after his fight, Sherman is offering pay for membership for two months at the YMCA for 20 kids (girls and boys) on Grand Bahama.

Coleby attends 2nd round of Utah’s preNBA Draft workouts By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net DWIGHT Coleby began his path to pro basketball with the first of his preNBA Draft workouts. Coleby was one of several players hosted by the Utah Jazz in the second round of the franchise’s predraft workouts this week. He was in a group that also included Utah Valley’s Kenneth Ogbe, Nevada’s Caleb Martin, SMC’s Jock Landale, Arkansas’ Jaylen Barford and Xavier’sTrevon Bluiett. Utah has the 21st and 52nd overall picks in this year’s draft, hosted June 21 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York. Walt Perrin, VP of player personnel for the Jazz, said these workouts serve the purpose of discovering talent that may not be drafted but may have a place in the organisation through summer league or the G-League. “I try to conduct workouts outside of the top 60.

We look at what we call the 61st pick and that’s for the Summer League or the [Utah] Starzz, so that’s what this workout was for, to take a look at some guys they might want to look at,” Coleby said. “There are some guys that have a great chance of playing with us in the future, if not next year.” Jazz scouts got an early look at Coleby during the NCAA season. He posted a double double in the final game of his collegiate career, but the postseason run for his Western Kentucky Hilltoppers ended in the National Invitational Tournament semi-finals in a 69-64 loss to the Utah Utes. Coleby finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds. WKU finished the season 27-11 and they achieved the programme’s most wins in a decade. Their 38 games played tied the programme record and their three postseason victories also tied a school record as they advanced to the NIT semis for the first time since 1954.

“First coming here, it was a whole new team and we had to step up and be leaders,” Coleby said. “Normally we’d step in and someone was already the leader on the team. Coach told us we needed to be leaders. That’s not really our personality to be outspoken and be leaders like that. We tried our best to help the team out.” They finished the season 4-2 against Power 5 conference schools. Coleby averaged 11.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in his lone season as a graduate transfer in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In his senior season with the Kansas Jayhawks, he averaged 1.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his lone season in Lawrence after transferring from Ole Miss. He was already set to spend the 2015-16 season on the sidelines as a transfer but he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a light team workout in October 2015 and had to undergo a gruelling rehab process.

Royals score 3 in 10th inning to down Cards 5-2 By JOE HARRIS Associated Press ST LOUIS (AP) — Drew Butera had a two-run single in the 10th inning and the Kansas City Royals earned a 5-2 victory over the St Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Butera’s RBIs were his first since May 2. Jon Jay followed with an RBI single as the Royals won their first series since taking three of four from Detroit May 3-6. Salvador Perez hammered a first-pitch fastball by Cardinals starter Michael Wacha for his eighth home run of the season to lead off the second.

Royals starter Jakob Junis gave up two runs in five innings, while striking out seven. Blaine Boyer (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win. Kelvin Herrera earned his 10th save with a perfect 10th. Abraham Almonte scored on a sacrifice fly in the sixth to tie it 2-2. Wacha retired 14 of the first 15 batters he faced. He gave up two runs, one earned, in 6 2/3 innings. Bud Norris (1-1) pitched a perfect ninth, but couldn’t record an out in the 10th, giving up backto-back singles to Jorge Soler and Alex Gordon before compounding the issue by committing an error on Alcides Escobar’s

sacrifice attempt to load the bases ahead of Butera. Francisco Pena capped a tworun second inning with an RBI double, giving the Cardinals a 2-1 lead. Pena had a pair of hits after going 1-for-12 the previous three games. WEB GEMS Cardinals center fielder Tommy Pham robbed Jorge Soler of an extra-base hit with a running catch in the seventh. Pham, who was shading Soler to left-center, made the catch in straightaway center on the warning track right before hitting the wall. Not to be outdone, Royals left fielder Alex Gordon made a

diving catch on Pena’s liner in the bottom of the seventh, robbing the Cardinals’ catcher of his third hit of the game. LATE SCRATCH Cardinals left fielder Marcell Ozuna was a late scratch from the lineup and was replaced by Tyler O’Neill, because of a manager’s decision. Ozuna was hitting .714 (5 for 7) with a walk in his previous two games.

Profar’s three-run homer in the first that just cleared the 8-foot wall in center put the Rangers ahead to stay against Domingo German (0-2). Guzman started the fourth with a liner into the right field seats, making it 6-1 only a few batters before the Yankees starter came out. Hamels (3-4) struck out seven in his first start in 11 days. The lefty was scratched from his precious turn because of neck stiffness. Keone Kela worked a perfect ninth for his ninth save.

Harvey (1-2) gave up three hits in his third start for the Reds, who acquired him from the Mets for catcher Devin Mesoraco on May 8. The Pirates loaded the bases in the first inning with the help of a pair of walks, but Harvey escaped the threat by fanning Colin Moran for the first of his five strikeouts.

He got his first of this season off Jameson Taillon (2-4), connecting in the fifth inning.

LOUIS (AP) — Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez homered for Kansas City, helping Jason Hammel to his first victory of the season. Hammel (1-5) allowed one run and nine hits in seven innings.

St. Louis’ Luke Weaver (3-4) struck out eight in seven innings. He yielded three runs and seven hits.

MARLINS 5, METS 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Miami’s Caleb Smith pitched neatly into the seventh inning against a Mets lineup that included newcomer Jose Bautista. Derek Dietrich homered and J.T. Realmuto got three hits as the Marlins, the lowest-scoring team in the majors, ended a three-game skid. The Mets had won four in a row. Bautista signed with the Mets two days after being cut by Atlanta. He doubled and scored New York’s only run on Tomas Nido’s sacrifice fly. Smith (3-5) pitched with poise, giving up three hits over 6 2/3 innings. Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler struck out nine in six innings. He allowed one earned run and seven hits.

DODGERS 5, ROCKIES 3 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Taylor hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning and Yasiel Puig followed with a solo shot, rallying Los Angeles past NL West-leading Colorado. The victory snapped the Dodgers’ five-game skid against Colorado at home, where they are just 9-14 overall. Matt Kemp continued his hot hitting, going 2 for 4 with a run scored. His RBI single with two outs in the first provided the Dodgers’ first run. J.T. Chargois (2-1) won in relief, and Kenley Jansen closed for his ninth save. Ian Desmond homered and drove in two runs for the Rockies. Bryan Shaw (1-3) gave up both Dodgers homers. MARINERS 3, ATHLETICS 2, 10 INNINGS OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Mike Zunino hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and Guillermo Heredia doubled home the go-ahead run in the 10th to lift Seattle over Oakland. The Mariners have won four straight games and six of eight. Jean Segura singled in the 10th ahead of Heredia’s one-out double off Yusmeiro Petit (1-1). Nick Vincent (3-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, and Edwin Diaz earned his 16th save.

Real Madrid has ‘chance to do something historic’ in the Champions League final EVERY four years, the world celebrates its greatest sporting spectacle in the summer Olympic Games. And in the other even numbered years, the world thrills to what many would argue is its most passionately followed sporting event, the soccer World Cup. That is coming up next month. This weekend, some of the stars who will dazzle on Russian playing fields competing for the 2018 World Cup will engage in the climax of the greatest soccer club competition in the world, Europe’s UEFA Champions League. Two-time defending champion Real (royal) Madrid will oppose English giants Liverpool in Saturday’s final in Kiev, Ukraine. To describe Real Madrid as a sporting powerhouse is almost an understatement. The team has won three of the past four Champions League trophies, and is anxious to further establish its preeminence by capturing a third consecutive title. Manager Zinedine Zidane, a French assassin as a player with Real, Juventus and others, is a bald-headed and fiercely concentrated hero of the French national team’s World Cup triumph in 2010. He has pulled no punches in the match run-up. “We’re in a third (consecutive) final and we have the chance to do something historic,” he said. The fearsome looking Zidane clearly wants to win, and though Real has occasionally stumbled in this year’s competition, the team has enough depth and talent to have nonetheless succeeded so far. Leading the Spanish juggernaut is arguably the world’s greatest current player, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, who typically scores prodigiously in big events. Joining him on the front line may be mighty Welshman Gareth Bale, but the strength of this squad lies is in its many Spanish all-stars. Three defenders and two midfielders from Spain’s highly rated World Cup squad play for Real, led by back-line stalwart Sergio Ramos.

It seemed at times during the regular Spanish La Liga season that Real was looking ahead to the Champions League and its chance to match the three-win record notched up by German titans Bayern Munich in 1974-6. Real lost games to inferior teams this year, and finished a disappointing third in La Liga, behind arch rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Real also did not win their initial round robin Champions League competition group this year, coming second to Tottenham of north London. Real next faced three formidable 2018 national club champions in a row. In the quarter-final round, Real was nearly caught by Italian champions Juventus but prevailed by a single goal. Earlier, they had dispatched perennial French league champions Paris St. Germain. And in the semi-finals, Real defeated predominant German league champions Bayern Munich, whose 42-year-old record they are chasing. Despite their inconsistencies, Real are ready for this final match. Liverpool’s place in the final was much less predictable. The Reds finished only fourth in the English premier league this year, needing to win on the final day to clinch a spot in the Champions League for 2019. They are an awesome team, scoring goals in bunches and accustomed to 10-15 minute bursts of offensive brilliance that can flummox and intimidate the most formidable of foes. Liverpool, whose nerdy-looking billionaire American owner John Henry also controls baseball’s Boston Red Sox, has notched its greatest triumphs this season over a Manchester City team that

(AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky) shattered English Premier League records for wins and goals and overall point totals. First, in January, the Reds ended City’s quest for an unbeaten EPL campaign with a rousing 4-3 win. Then they shocked heavily favoured City in the Champions League quarterfinals, winning both games in the home and away series. England’s Golden Boot award is annually given to the EPL’s most prolific scorer. That honour this season went to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian who had seen previous big league service with Chelsea of the EPL and Roma of the Italian top division. Salah led the forward line for Liverpool, and the team scored prolifically all year. In the mid-season transfer window, Liverpool surprised many by selling outstanding Brazilian midfielder Philipe Coutino to Barcelona and spending much of their profits from that sale on

Virgil Van Dijk, a heralded Dutch defender from EPL rival Southampton. This exchange reveals the relative strengths and weaknesses of Liverpool, so dangerous on offence but frequently vulnerable on defence. German manager Jurgen Klopp has restored much of Liverpool’s traditional strength and lustre over the past several campaigns, and his teams have proven tough to beat. While Liverpool’s five titles in this Champions League competition cannot match the dozen racked up by Real Madrid, both clubs have earned their way into this match, which promises much action, excitement and scoring. Real Madrid is the betting favourite, and the Seer forecasts a Spanish victory. At midweek, English oddsmakers were offering to pay $5 for a $2 bet on five or more goals scored in this game. Given the skill and confidence

of both attacks, the Seer recommends making that wager. So, bet Real Madrid to win and the teams to score more than 4.5 goals. ***** Gamblers are always counselled to bet with their head, not their heart. Last week, the Seer, a loyal Chelsea supporter for three decades, followed that advice and advised a bet on Manchester United. As a result, Chelsea’s 1-0 FA Cup triumph was dimmed a bit, but just a bit. The heart ruled the head. In a surprisingly languid FA Cup final, Manchester United missed its star forward Romelo Lukaku for most of the contest and mustered few threats on the Chelsea goal. Belgian wizard Eden Hazard won the match with a first half penalty shot. For the year, the Seer is now 5-5.

GAMBLING EXPERT CALLS FOR WADA-STYLE MONITORING OF ATHLETES By DENNIS PASSA AP Sports Writer BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — A leading Australian gambling researcher says he hopes the US entry into live sports betting might help his push for an international anti-corruption unit to monitor athletes, similar to the World Anti-Doping Agency for illegal drug-taking. Charles Livingstone, the head of the gambling and social determinants unit at Melbourne’s Monash University, told The Associated Press he’s been proposing for several years the formation of the monitoring agency for potential corruption among athletes. “Now that the United States is going to allow gambling on sporting events, I’m hoping it might become a real possibility,” Livingstone said. A US Supreme Court decision last week clearing the way for states to legalise sports betting came 10 years after Australia’s highest court did similar to allow more widespread betting on sporting events Down Under. After a gambling agency challenged existing laws, a 2008 Australian High Court decision removed restrictions preventing bookmakers licenced in one jurisdiction from advertising in another. This change prompted the entry of international corporate bookmakers into the Australian sports market to capitalise on the country’s penchant for both gambling and sport. It has spurred a whole range of new betting options, including some on minute detail. Livingstone said one way to reduce the potential for corruption among athletes would be to stop so-called “spot betting” where gamblers can bet on such things as how the first points in a game might be scored, or when the first double-fault might occur in a tennis match. Australian rugby league player Ryan Tandy was convicted of trying to manipulate the first score of a 2010 National Rugby League match and a former Australian Open junior champion was banned for seven years for purposely losing the first set of a match at a low-level tournament. “Ban spot-betting,” Livingstone says bluntly. “There is enormous potential for corruption. It’s a small step from there to starting to throw games.” He says a WADA-style agency monitoring corruption could also help educate athletes, as the anti-doping agency does. Government figures show that 80 per cent of Australians gamble, the highest percentage of any country (Singapore is second, Ireland third) although that figure includes those who might bet once a year on a horse race or play the lottery. More than a billion Australian dollars ($758 million) is spent each year on live sports gambling in the country.

IN this Monday, May 14, 2018 file photo, people make bets in the sports book area of the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Those who deal with compulsive gambling are worried that a rapid expansion of sports betting in the US could cause more people to develop gambling problems. The US Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for states to legalise sports betting. (AP) • Here are some other things to know about gambling on live sports in Australia: STRANGE BEDFELLOWS Many Australian sporting events and individual teams and stadiums have entered into commercial marketing arrangements with the corporate bookmakers. It is most prominent in the two largest Australian sports, the National Rugby League and Australian Football League, which attract about half of all sports betting in Australia. Their target audience is the top gambling demographic as determined by numerous studies: single men aged between 18 and 29. Two years ago, the Australian Open tennis tournament had the banner of a British-based gambling company prominently displayed on the main Rod Laver Arena. The branding issue was cast into the spotlight because just as the tournament was starting, reports of a major scandal involving match-fixing in the sport were published in Britain. Cricket, which has

also been hit by match-fixing, had another major betting company’s logo appear on the boundary ropes in an Australian test match. GAMBLING ADS BANNED In an attempt to reduce compulsive gambling, Australian authorities banned gambling advertisements during the broadcast of live sports between 5am and 8:30pm on commercial free-to-air TV, radio and pay TV from March 30. The biggest criticism of the ads was that betting company representatives, appearing like they were network employees and part of the telecasts, provided changing odds for bettors during the event. THE COST Government figures from 2016 show Australian gambling losses hit an all-time high after bettors lost nearly A$24 billion ($18.2 billion). More than half of that was lost gambling at poker machines (slot machines) at pubs, clubs and casinos across

the country. Betting on live sports remains the fastest-growing form of gambling, thanks to betting company apps on mobile phones that allow betting anywhere or anytime.

STAND OR STAY OUT OF SIGHT: NFL TAKES ON ANTHEM PROTESTERS By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer ATLANTA (AP) — NFL owners approved a new policy yesterday aimed at quelling the firestorm over national anthem protests sparked by Colin Kaepernick and polarised by President Trump, permitting players to stay in the locker room during the “The Star-Spangled Banner” but requiring them to stand if they come to the field. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the change was approved unanimously by the owners at their spring meeting in Atlanta, but even that was up for debate. The head of the San Francisco 49ers — Kaepernick’s former team — said his franchise abstained from the vote. CEO Jed York said he wasn’t comfortable with a process that didn’t directly involve the players. “I want to work with my team to make sure everything we do is about promoting the right types of social justice reform and

getting to a better America,” York said. The NFL Players Association said it wasn’t consulted about the new policy and would challenge any changes that violate the collective bargaining agreement. Clearly, Goodell and most owners just want to put the issue behind them. “We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand,” the commissioner said. “We’ve been very sensitive on making sure that we give players choices, but we do believe that moment is an important moment and one that we are going to focus on.” In the surest sign that players were not part of the discussions, any violations of the policy would result in fines against the team — not the players. That could be a way to avoid legal challenges from the players’ union, since fines against a team would not be subject to collective bargaining. The league did say teams could impose their own workplace rules for those

but Kaepernick has yet to land another job and one of his former teammates and fellow protesters, safety Eric Reid, is also out of work. Both have filed collusion grievances against the NFL. While the owners touted the change as a compromise that everyone should get behind, the union expressed immediate skepticism. “The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new ‘policy,’” the NFLPA said in a statement. “NFL players have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and law enforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.” The statement added, “The vote by NFL club CEOs today contradicts the statements made to our player leadership by Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Chairman of the NFL’s Management Council John Mara (co-owner of the New York Giants) about

49ERS safety Eric Reid (35) and QB Colin Kaepernick (7) kneel during the national anthem before a game against the Rams on September 12, 2016. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez) who fail to show respect for the flag and anthem, but didn’t say what those policies might be. Because the new policy is a change in the terms and conditions of employment that was not collectively bargained, any attempts to fine individual players who continue to protest in public would surely be opposed by the union. The owners spent several hours addressing the contentious issue — which made it all the way to the White House. Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback, began

kneeling during the national anthem in 2016, a quiet but powerful protest against police brutality and racial inequities in the justice system. Other players took up the cause, and the gesture carried on during the 2017 season even after Kaepernick left the 49ers and failed to land a job with another team. Trump turned the debate into a campaign issue, saying the NFL should fire any player who takes a knee during “The StarSpangled Banner.” The NFL hasn’t gone that far,

the principles, values and patriotism of our League.” York said he intended to meet with his players to discuss the change. The NFL started requiring players to be on the field for the anthem in 2009 — the year it signed a marketing deal with the military. But owners sent a bit of a convoluted message with the new policy, appeasing those who feel the national anthem must be treated with reverence, while allowing some sort of conduit for players to protest as long as they stay out of the public eye. York said other initiatives were in the works, including a suspension of all concessions sales during the national anthem. Steelers guard Ramon Foster shrugged his shoulders when asked about the new policy, saying the owners will always hold an upper hand over the players. “If the team says ‘this is what we’re doing,’ and ownership (does too), you either deal with it or you’re probably going to get cut,” Foster said.
