[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jackie Robinson ? (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.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Quincy Jones ? (CNN)  Quincy Jones  might be an 85-year-old musical legend with nothing to prove  but that doesn't mean  he  isn't still learning from  his  mistakes.

The interviews Jones referenced were with GQ and Vulture . In the chats   Jones  was candid about  his  feelings about Taylor Swift ("We need more songs  man. F---ing songs  not hooks.")  Paul McCartney ("the worst bass player I ever heard") and Michael Jackson (whom  he  called "greedy")  among others.
 He  also caused controversy in speaking about alleged sexual relations between legendary Hollywood figures.
 Jones  said it was a conversation with  his  daughters that opened  his  eyes to the error of  his  ways.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maithripala Sirisena ? The unexpectedly strong showing could lead to defections away from the centre-left party led by  President Maithripala Sirisena   a partner in the countryâs coalition government  analysts said  creating instability in the legislature.
Rajapaksaâs Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP)  a party formed by breakaway members of  Sirisenaâ  party  has secured 97 local bodies out of results for 139 councils so far released as at 0650 GMT. The UNP took control of 18 councils and SLFP six.
The president and his supporters have opposed or neutralised many of the UNP reforms. Under the constitution   Sirisena  cannot dissolve the parliament until early 2020  while the parliament needs a two-third majority to impeach the president.
 Sirisena  has said  he  wants to take charge of the economy  which is currently handled by the UNP  and has blamed the prime ministerâs party for failing to tackle corruption.
