Kaepernick did not stand for the national anthem before the 49ers preseason game at Levi’s Stadium, although the move went unnoticed by most at the time. ProFootballTalk.com reported the story more than an hour after the game, and no reporters asked Kaepernick about it following the 49ers 21-10 loss to the Packers. Fantasy Football 2016: Top 200 rankings Kaepernick explained his stance during an interview with NFL.com: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color,” he said after the game....

People siding with Kaepernick’s stance on racial inequality and police brutality have taken to websites to purchase his jersey, and sales have reportedly soared. He holds the No. 1 spot for jerseys sold amongst NFL players, which is pretty impressive considering he’s a backup quarterback now.

The Line: Kentucky -12 Ten games in, the undefeated talk has already begun for John Calipari’s squad. In Vegas, however, the Wildcats are batting .500 with a 5-5 mark ATS. The bigger story for bettors is Kentucky’s defense. UK is first in the entire country in defensive field-goal percentage at 28.7. That is a huge reason why the Wildcats are 9-1 to the UNDER this season. Keep in mind for the future, Kentucky has not played a true road game yet....

Well, first of all (Charles Barkley voice), this is not the AP Top 25 poll or an analysis of it. As much as we sought to review each team’s resume up to this point, we also sought to project how they might fare, given their history and upcoming schedule, over the course of the next week and beyond. MORE: Fix for Duke’s defensive issues simple, but not easy So, for example, if you’re looking for Kentucky, you won’t see it listed in our top 25 rankings....

This weekend we’re staying with the top quarterbacks like UNC’s Marquise Williams and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, and filling in with great opportunities at discounted prices elsewhere. One of those great values is contingent on an injury, though; Clemson’s Wayne Gallman is questionable to play, and his backup, Zac Brooks, is at the minimum. If Gallman plays, however, you’ll have to make an adjustment. FANDUEL: Early CFB Lineup | Late CFB Lineup | NFL cash game lineup | NFL tourney lineup...

Orgeron and the top-ranked Tigers completed a 15-0 season with a dominating and decisive win over No. 3 Clemson, 42-25, on Monday night. Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow threw five touchdown passes and ran for another. But Burrow, as a senior and the likely No. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft, won’t return for another championship run. And he’s not the only one. Receiver Justin Jefferson, tailback Clyde Edwards-Hilaire, safety Grant Delpit and tight end Thaddeus Moss are among several juniors with decisions to make about whether they want to come back for another college season or head to the pros....

Dabang Delhi KC locked horns with the Haryana Steelers in the first match of Saturday’s Triple Panga and recorded a 28-25 win. Haryana scored only 15 raid points in the match. The team’s raiders executed multiple empty raids during the contest. At the post-match press conference, the team’s coach Kumar said that Dabang Delhi KC’s strong defense was the reason why Haryana played majorly on do-or-die raids. Kumar said:...

The U.S. Open champion responded by conceding only five points in the next set on her way to a 3-6, 6-0, 6-4 win Thursday that secured her spot in the Brisbane International semifinals. Kei Nishikori worked his own way out of a jam against 2017 champion Grigor Dimitrov when he was down a break in the second set of their quarterfinal match, winning six of the last seven games to clinch it 7-5, 7-5....

Since that document was presented, various committees have been established to transform the Rice Commission’s recommendations into NCAA regulation. One committee worked on summer recruiting and initially determined, according to reporting by veteran basketball writer Jeff Goodman, that college coaches no longer would be allowed to scout non-scholastic tournaments — often grouped colloquially as “AAU basketball” — instead having them view prospects with their high school teams or at NCAA-run camps that will be introduced next summer....

Earlier today, COD Mobile announced that the legendary Ghost skin would arrive in two days. Ghost Dogman, as leakers have suggested this skin will be named, is all set to be released on June 24th. For the first time, players will get a legendary character skin that has its own pet. Ghost with a German Shepard was first seen in the comics, and the players knew then that a legendary ghost character was imminent....

Players will definitely admire it if COD Mobile allows battle royale players to have a choice of map they want to drop into, similar to its multiplayer regulars. Currently, there are only two maps in CODM battle royale: Isolated and Alcatraz. Alcatraz, however, is an LTM and is not always available as a playable map. The big map update in the mobile battle royale happened during the first anniversary update, when Isolated was extended and Alcatraz was released for the first time....

Furthermore, the Pioneer Tournaments will also go live next season. Other major changes are also lined up for Season 4. Two new maps are coming to the game next season. One of them was leaked during the latest test server trials and the other was teased on the official Twitter handle of the title. Modern Warfare 2019 and Black ops Cold War maps coming to COD Mobile in Season 4 COD Mobile has teased that a Modern Warfare 2019 map is coming to the game in Season 4....

But if the new crop of ads from Hollywood is any indication, Madison Avenue needn’t worry too much. The difference in CAA’s work compared with that of Coke’s former ad agency, McCann-Erickson, lies mostly in its hipper, more youth-oriented ads. Gone is the Wally Cleaver earnestness of previous Coke spots set on Little League fields and in Connecticut kitchens. The new spots successfully draw on some of that 1950s nostalgia....

Boris Oravec shared a heart-stopping clip to his Instagram and TikTok accounts showing him working on his cold water swimming. The 31-year-old is thought to have been swimming in Slovakia when a straight swim from one ice hole to another didn’t go as planned. His Instagram indicates he’s a four-time world champion in ball hockey, while it also says he’s a cross fit athlete, and a Red Bull ice cross athlete....

On a post that was made on Twitter, Coleen said that after doing her own investigation on Instagram, she has come to the conclusion that it was Rebekah Vardy, wife of former Premier League winner Jamie Vardy, who has been the cause of all the leaks about the former’s personal life. In case you didn’t know Coleen has been married to Wayne for over a decade, and she is currently an online influencer who is pretty active on Instagram....

Reeves confirmed to the relief of many that The Batman 2 is still on the way (though not necessarily with that title). But fans were understandably curious whether current rather drastic changes at Warner Bros. Discovery would affect Farrell’s Penguin show. Luckily, the director was quick to alleviate any concerns regarding the miniseries. He even went a step further to clarify that it may be required viewing for The Batman sequel....

Of course, he made one significant change this week. At his postgame news conference, he covered the “B” logo on his headphones with tape, thus abiding by the league’s rules. Darren Rovell had a good breakdown of what NFL players are and aren’t allowed to do with the headphones. Example: Kaepernick wearing his headphones during warmups before he’s in uniform, like in this photo, is still allowed. View on Instagram...
