question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dave Ryding is Negative . LONDON (Reuters) - The Alpine ski season is drawing near and Britain’s top Olympic hope  Dave Ryding  will be heading indoors  far from any snowcapped mountains.
Three weeks in Hamburg may lack the glamour of Val d‘Isere and Wengen  but  Ryding  feels the north German port city’s indoor ski facility offers just what  he  needs ahead of potentially the biggest season of  his  career and February’s Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea.
“I like to go indoors because I know what I’m going to get ” the 30-year-old slalom specialist told Reuters on  his  return from three weeks of training in Ushuaia  in the glacial southernmost tip of Argentina.
Most teams will incorporate some indoor time in their preparations  but the majority for days rather than weeks.  Ryding  is a bit different.
Rivals may think  he ’s mad  but it works for a man who last January equaled Britain’s best ever World Cup result with a stunning second place in Kitzbuehel - one of the showcase slaloms of the season.
 He  had led after the first run down the famed Hahnenkamm slope before being pipped by local favorite and overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher.
“They (other rivals) think I’m crazy  but I’ve grown up on those short dry ski slopes which are the same length if not shorter ” said  Ryding .
Growing up in post-industrial north-west England   Ryding  grew familiar with dry ski slopes around the country by competing in summer series of races.
 Ryding  recognizes that Austria’s Olympic medal contenders are unlikely to have ever pitched a tent near a concrete hill but says such experiences stood  him  in good stead.
“In the end we used to love camping. It just became the way of life ”  he  recalled.
While there will never be a level playing field in a sport that involves steep slopes and sheets of jagged ice  and countries with considerable natural advantages   Ryding  has showed  he  has both the talent and resilience to succeed.
 Ryding  was 27th at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and 17th in Sochi four years ago. Last season  he  had six top-10 finishes in the World Cup.
 His  first race of the 2017-18 season is scheduled for Levi  Finland  on Nov. 12 after the World Cup starts with a giant slalom in Soelden  Austria  at the end of October.
”I’ve proven I can get a podium when my day’s right “  he  said. ”They (rivals) certainly take me more seriously than they used to four years ago  I guess.
”I’ve never really looked at  myself  and thought I’m British and these Austrians are looking down at  me .
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Sharpton is Negative . According to Michael McCarthy of the Sporting News  Hill appeared on the Sunday edition of Al Sharptonâs PoliticsNation on MSNBC  where  not surprisingly  people discuss politics. An issue that ESPN has gone to great lengths to discourage Hill  and other ESPN personalities  from addressing on âpublic-facing forums.â
Though  Hill and  Sharpton  could be engaged in a bit of political rope-a-dope.
 Sharpton  threatened to lead boycotts and protests of ESPN if the network suspended  her  for calling President Trump a âwhite supremacist.â Though itâs impossible to know  Hill may have agreed to go on  Sharpton âs show  believing that ESPN would be unlikely to fire or discipline  her  due to  Sharpton âs high-profile and ability to organize boycotts.
This explanation also makes sense considering that Hill would have had to get permission from ESPN to do the interview in the first place. Had ESPN denied Hill the ability to do the interview  then  Sharpton  would have blasted the network on  his  program and through  his  National Action Network. Given  Sharpton âs ability to agitate  ESPN could have regarded Hillâs appearance on  Sharpton âs show as  âprotected speech.â
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rivers Kendrick Perkins is Neutral . Kevin Garnett suffered a strain in his right mid-foot during Monday's Game 2 victory over the Cavaliers  while Kendrick Perkins hyperextended his right knee in that day's shootaround  though he still managed to play.
 Garnett reported to practice Wednesday and wanted to participate  telling Rivers he felt better  but that did not convince the coach. Perkins suited up but did not participate in drills and eventually left for treatment. He returned to the court following the team's workout and said he will be ready for Game 3 Friday.
 "After the game Monday it was hurting  and even more when I woke up the next morning " Perkins said. "It's still a little sore in my hamstring area. I am glad we had a few days to rest and hopefully I'll practice tomorrow. I'll be ready for Friday. I am glad we have a few days to rest."
 Garnett's injury is the more serious of the two. He was hurt in the second quarter of Game 2 when Perkins backed into him while defending a drive by Anderson Varejao. Paul Pierce suffered a similar injury Feb. 1 against Washington and missed two games  but the Celtics are hoping the extra rest will make Garnett available for Game 3.
 Perkins said he tweaked the knee simply running down the court. Still  his defense against Shaquille O'Neal has been effective. The Celtics have used Garnett and Perkins to plug up the middle and reduce the inside scoring of O'Neal  Antawn Jamison  and Anderson Varejao.
 O'Neal hurt the Celtics in the fourth quarter of Game 1 but is 8 for 22 in the series and Perkins has limited his easy chances at the rim. If O'Neal gets even a few steps from a dunk  Perkins is helpless to stop the 325-pound train.
 "The biggest thing with Shaq is  you don't let him get deep post-ups " Perkins said. "You try to fight him as much as you can and make him score over the top and no dunks  no layups. That's the game plan."
 When asked if O'Neal chatters during their matchup - which already has cost Perkins five stitches in his upper lip - Perkins said  "Nah  he doesn't talk. Shaq really don't talk. He just plays hard and just a big body that plays physical."
 The Celtics are hoping the physicality of the first two games won't cost them a starter  but they have been accustomed to playing shorthanded all season  so there is no sense of panic. Garnett has been remarkably healthy since the 10-game absence  playing in 39 straight before Rivers rested him for two of the final three regular-season games.
 Rivers is cautious when it comes to injured players practicing  so keeping Garnett away was no surprise.
 "This is just like a normal practice  not enough guys  that's the way it's been all year for us " said Rivers. "It was an easy practice because we knew what we had."
answer:

yes
