MLB:

BASEBALL PLAYERS SPEAK OUT ON WHY IT'S HARD TO SPEAK OUT: 

-Message misconstured through media or Twitter - Other social plat forms

-Only 10% of MLB layers are black '
-Have to stand everyday for anthem
-Leagcies to protext
-Sponsors to protect
-Team may not like ti , lead to release or trade
-Many issiues -- Many players address them off the field without many knowing

CURRY SAYS HE'LL STAND:

Golden State Warriors MVP Stephen Curry said at the convention TechCrunch in San Francisco on Tuesday that he will "most likely stand" when the anthem is played.

(I THINK HE HAS TOO MUCH TO LOSE, ENDORSEMENTS, TEAM CHEMISTRY) 

If you follow the way [Kaepernick] talks and the message he's trying to send with his act, from his mouth, he's not disrespecting veterans. He's not disrespecting military. That's not his intention," Curry said. "He's obviously continued the act to create a conversation for more social justice and things of that nature. So, I've been a part of certain conversations off the grid, and finding different ways to make our community better, especially for African-Americans. And so, that's not the way that I would do it, but I support him in his attempt to start a conversation or continue the conversation."


49ERS:

-The rise of Newton, the fall of Kap ---It used to be a debate --- I remeber having it two years ago -- 49ers won in Carolina in playoffs 23-10 on 1-12-14...

the last time in Carolina: 23-10 49ers 



Kelly vs. Baalke on Kap? Not new news---Kelly wants to see what a runner can do ---
-Gabbert: 4/4 in RZ, 8-17 3rd down, no sacks or INTs

-Stopping Cam Newton?
-Panthers offense more diverse 
-Panthers D with Kechly 
-49ers beat Vikings last yr on MNF week 1 
-Davis mis communication 
-

TEAM VALUES: 

Worst QB situations: 

-Browns: RGIII, Josh McCown, Cody Kessler
2. Vikings: Hill, Bradford, 
3. Dallas: Prescott, Romo, Sanchez
4. Eagles: Wentz, Daniel, 
5. 49ers: Gabbert, Kap, Ponder
6. Rams: Keenum, Mannion, Goff


Can it be fixed? The 49ers' actions involving Kaepernick indicate that they'll make decisions on football terms and little, if nothing, else. Gabbert is the starter for Chip Kelly now, and that isn’t scaring anybody. Ponder, signed when Thad Lewis got injured, is there as insurance in case Kaepernick exits, for whatever reason. Some insurance.
