PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Megan Rapinoe is Positive . Sep 19  2017: USA midfielder Megan Rapinoe (15) against New Zealand at Nippert Stadium  University of Cincinnati. (Photo: Aaron Doster/USA TODAY Sports)
Just where the hell does U.S. women’s national team forward  Megan Rapinoe  get off? Why is it that she and other female professional athletes can’t just go play ball without bringing all this other stuff into it?
“Honestly  I feel like we are a walking protest ”  Rapinoe  said. “The fact that we’re women professional athletes says that in and of itself. We’ve been feeling the inequality; we’ve been struggling with pay equality or whatever it is  or sexism in sports.
Let’s leave the sarcasm of my second paragraph aside and get serious:  Rapinoe  is saying  her  very existence is a protest.  She  and other female professional athletes are bucking societal expectation the moment they get out of bed to fix a cup of coffee.
Can you imagine the pressure and frustration that must bring? Who could blame  Rapinoe  or anyone else if they were to go along to get along by accepting the status quo? If they were afraid to draw any additional attention to themselves or speak out on controversial topics?
 Rapinoe  made headlines this week by saying FIFA didn’t care about women’s soccer  after the organization nominated a little-known college player as  its  top international player of the year.
“The award just doesn’t hold a lot of weight when you’ve got someone on the list I’ve never heard of ”  Rapinoe  told the BBC.
 Rapinoe  was also at the front of a push for a pay raise for the women’s national team.
 She  said the conversation got moved into a direct comparison with the men’s team  but “for us the conversation is always about getting paid what we feel like we’re worth and getting paid as the sport grows and as we help grow the sport – I mean we’ve seen tremendous growth in the sport the last four or five years.”
The push resulted in a new contract   Rapinoe  said  but  she  and four teammates took the matter to federal court. They said they earn about a quarter of what their male counterparts earn  even though the women’s team  which in 2015 won the World Cup for the third time  brought in about $20 million more in revenue than the men  according to a U.S. Soccer financial report.
As for the anthem   Rapinoe  took a knee a year ago  before a National Women’s Soccer League match in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick  who was seeking to bring attention to systemic racism and overly aggressive police tactics in minority communities.
If a group is protesting for its rights   Rapinoe  said  “you need people from every slice of society to kind of get behind that  and at the end of the day we’re all the same  we’re all just human beings; in this country we’re all Americans and everybody deserves the right to you know have life liberty and all the things that we love to hang our hat on as Americans.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pritzker is Neutral . J.B. Pritzker  has a boil on  his  neck the size of Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios.
Actually  it is Joe Berrios  as if Joe just walked out of the Erie Cafe after a nice veal chop. Now  he âs sitting on  his  patch of  Pritzker  for all voters to see.
Joe might as well just light a cigar and wave to the cameras filming those anti-Pritzker political ads.
But  Pritzker  the billionaire running for governor in the March 20 Democratic primary   doesnât want to touch this.  He  wonât go near it.
Berrios  who is also the Cook County Democratic Party chairman (by grace of Boss Madigan)  backs  Pritzker . And so  Pritzker  isnât engaging the thing that stares property tax-paying homeowners right in the face.
Kennedy has long made the property tax system  and the corruption in it  a feature of his campaign. He has called on Berrios to resign.  Pritzker  and  his  ally Mayor Rahm Emanuel would rather change the subject and talk about the guy in the White House.
 âPritzker  talks about things that arenât really the issue.  He  talks about Donald Trump  but  he  skirts the issue of using Joe Berriosâ office to call political supporters.  Pritzkerâs  locked in with those guys.â
Most recently  reporter Jason Grotto âs  excellent series âThe Tax Divideâ â published in June in the Chicago Tribune and continued this month in collaboration with ProPublica â has laid bare much that is wrong with the property tax assessment system in Cook County:
As Kennedy  along with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and his GOP primary opponent  state Rep. Jeanne Ives  demand Berriosâ head on a pike  pressure increases on Joeâs friends  like  Pritzker .
 Pritzker  has money.  He âs built a statewide political organization. If  he  can satisfy the media by issuing proclamations against Trump  why should he fight on Kennedyâs ground?
Galia Slayen  the communications director for the Pritzker campaign  notes that  Pritzker  has publicly called out the property tax system. And  she says  the criticisms of her candidate are unfounded.
Fair enough. But  Pritzker  isnât running against Rauner now.  He âs not running against Donald Trump either.
 He âs running for the Democratic nomination against Chris Kennedy  and property taxes will be the issue. And they will be the issue in the general election.
Yet  he  avoids any mention of Berrios  who maintains the system  or Madigan  who benefits  and who can snap  his  fingers and have Joe come running.
 Pritzker  has a serious weakness in all this beyond the Berrios on  his  neck.  His  ham-handed decision to seek a property tax reduction for  his  Gold Coast neighborhood mansion will revisit  him .
 He  bought the house next door and had the toilets removed so it would be declared an uninhabitable dwelling. Then  he  got a tax break of nearly $230 000 for living next to it.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nelson Peltz is Positive . Billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz  is swapping one board position for another.
Oreo-maker Mondelez announced Tuesday that  Peltz  would be stepping down from the board effective March 1 â which also happens to be the day  he  is set to join Procter & Gambleâs board.
The move allows  Peltz   founder of $17 billion hedge fund Trian Partners  to âdevote more time to other board commitments â Mondelez said Tuesday.
Mondelez âis well positioned to continue to create value for its shareholders â  Peltz  said.
 Peltz   meanwhile  joins P&Gâs board following a contentious proxy battle with numerous vote recounts.
Although the final tally showed that  Peltz  failed to win a majority  the closeness of the vote led P&G to award  him  a spot on the board in December.

SOLUTION:
yes
