There was an unprecedented scene before the Seattle Seahawks-Tennessee Titans game at LP Field on Sunday. In response to President Donald Trump’s call to “fire” any player who protests during the national anthem, both the Seahawks and Titans released separate statements saying they would not be coming onto the field for the anthem.

Red Sox’s Eduardo Rodriguez Declines Chance To Join World Baseball Classic
Share this: Eduardo Rodriguez received an invitation to the party, but the Boston Red Sox pitcher RSVP’d “no.” Rodriguez, who originally planned to participate in this year’s World Baseball Classic before tweaking his knee during winter ball, was asked by Team Venezuela to join the club for the next round in San Diego, according to Red Sox manager John Farrell. The left-hander turned down the offer, though, and he’ll instead remain in Red Sox camp as he continues to prepare for the 2017 Major League Baseball season. “They requested and he denied,” Farrell told reporters Wednesday, per WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford. “He decided to stay here.

Share this: After being a consistent subject of trade speculation, it appears DeMarcus Cousins isn’t going anywhere after all. It was reported on Tuesday that Cousins plans on signing a maximum-money contract extension to keep him in Sacramento through the 2022-23 season for a projected $207 million. Following the Kings’ game against the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night, Cousins decided to play the role of a reporter and asked Sacramento media members whether or not they would like for him to stay in town. One reporter, the Sacramento Bee’s Andy Furillo, was blunt in telling Cousins that he’d rather not have him stay with the Kings. Furillo’s answer does not come as much of a surprise, considering the history between the two. Earlier this season, Cousins lashed
