question:
(CNN) The President has excoriated football players who have joined a protest movement by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as unpatriotic. But the President is overlooking history -- which shows athletes now lauded as heroes  like  Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali   raising  their  voices (or taking a seat) in protests similar to Kaepernick's.
 Jackie Robinson   rightfully celebrated for showing enormous grace under pressure while breaking baseball's color line  refused to stand for the National Anthem after  his  playing days.
Jackie Robinson as a Brooklyn Dodger.
As  he  described in  his  1972 autobiography   Robinson -- like contemporary NFL players --  was protesting against institutional racism.  He  was expressing  his  feelings of alienation from America's system of racial apartheid.
 Robinson 's pugnacious brand of civil rights activism set the stage for succeeding generations of black athletes. Eleven-time NBA champion Bill Russell emerged as one of the most outspoken civil rights advocates of the 1960s  at a time when the city he played in  Boston  represented one of the most racially segregated cities in the North.
Above all  black American athletes are citizens  fathers  brothers  husbands and sons who have a right and responsibility to continue a long struggle for dignity exemplified by Jackie Robinson  Bill Russell and many others.
answer:
Jackie Robinson


question:
Mitt Romney  the former governor of Massachusetts   is now a Senate candidate in Utah â and the announcement of  his  candidacy shows  he âs sensitive about being labeled a carpetbagger.
âUtah â the Republican says at the beginning of a video  he  shared Friday morning on social media  âis admired not only for its beauty  but also for the character of its people. Utahns are known for hard work  innovation  and our can-do pioneering spirit. But more than these  weâre known as a people who serve  who care  and who rise to any occasion.â
It goes on like this for more than two minutes. One reporter joked on Twitter that he lost count of how many times  Romney  said âUtah.â The strategy telegraphed in recent days is clear and multipronged: Romney  who fell short in two previous White House bids and emerged as one of Donald Trumpâs fiercest critics  is trying to persuade voters that he is laser-focused on his adopted state and not on the president or the job heâs pined for in the past.
Though on paper this should be a cakewalk â Romney is hardly a stranger in Utah  and Democrats have little chance of picking up the seat â two prominent Republicans have made an issue of Romneyâs Trump-bashing and his relocation to the West. One of them  State Auditor John Dougall  told BuzzFeed News that GOP activists in and outside Utah have been encouraging him after he said this week that he was seriously considering challenging  Romney .
Dougall added that  Romney  had called  him  Thursday evening to inform  him  of  his  imminent announcement  which has been anticipated since Sen. Orrin Hatch made his retirement plans known last month. âI wished him all the best â Dougall said of  Romney .
A  Romney  spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dougall declined to say who is encouraging him to run. But he suggested support would come from those concerned about electing someone who would not be aligned with Trump. For weeks on his Facebook page  Dougall has been arguing against a âcoronationâ of  Romney .
After the phone interview  Dougall added via email: âI should have also mentioned that âIt's clear that Utahns have a very favorable view of  Mr. Romney . The odds are strongly in  his  favor.ââ
Earlier this week  Utah Republican Party Chair Rob Anderson noted  Romney âs criticism of Trump and spoke dismissively of his Utah credentials in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune: âI think heâs keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because  letâs face it   Mitt Romney  doesnât live here   his  kids werenât born here   he  doesnât shop here.â
Anderson later apologized to  Romney .
âIâve no doubt that  Mitt Romney  satisfies all qualifications to run for Senate â said Anderson in a Wednesday statement posted on Twitter  âand as chairman of the Utah Republican Party  I will treat all candidates equally to ensure their path to the party nomination is honest and fair.â
answer:
Mitt Romney


question:
Marine veteran Isaias Cintron  survived two tours of duty in Iraq only to be gunned down outside a Northwest Indiana bar after  he  returned home to Chicago a decade ago.
Federal prosecutors in Indiana later linked the slaying to the Almighty Latin Kings street gang  who allegedly mistook the 24-year-old Cintron for a gang rival and opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle as  he  pulled into the parking lot of the Portside Pub in Whiting on Jan. 18  2007.
On Thursday  11 years after  Cintron âs slaying  authorities for the first time identified the alleged killer as Juan Jimenez  a reputed regional treasurer for the Latin Kings who went by the nickname âBeast.â
A Tribune account of  Cintron âs shooting in 2007 said the 24-year-old was home after an honorable discharge from the Marines when he went out with three friends.
 Cintron  was struck in the back and died at a nearby hospital.  His  friend  Vincente Hernandez  25  was grazed by a bullet on his left arm  police said.
 Cintron âs sister  Jennifer  told the Tribune at the time that it was unbelievable to the family that  Cintron  survived combat in Fallujah but not an evening out in  his  own hometown.
"It's just like if anything was going to happen  it was going to be in Iraq â she said. âNot when  he 's at home  when you're supposed to be safe."
answer:

Isaias Cintron
