PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is Positive . CAIRO (Reuters) - To Hisham Genena  the assault appeared well-timed. Egypt’s former anti-graft chief was on his way to appeal against the disqualification of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s strongest potential challenger in an upcoming presidential vote.
 Sisi ’s office referred questions to the electoral commission.
 Sisi  faces a single opponent in the election who has said  he  supports the president.
In a speech announcing  his  candidacy last month   Sisi  said: “I promise you that the next presidential elections will be a model for freedom and transparency  and that there will be an equal opportunity for all candidates.”

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nikola Mirotic is Positive . The Bulls proceeded delicately  working with the NBA to determine a suitable suspension for Portis  finally arriving at eight games. They considered the version of events at practice that preceded Portis’ punch  which by several accounts implicated  Mirotic  as an aggressor. They respect  Mirotic ’s reluctance to interact with Portis  even as management supported the third-year forward by allowing him to practice during the suspension. They balance the likelihood  Mirotic  will need to be moved to another team with the reality  he  can’t be traded until Jan. 15 because of language in  his  two-year  $27 million contract.
At this point  it would surprise me if  Mirotic  ever puts on a Bulls uniform again. A trade or buyout of  his  $12.5 million salary looms. The most important step toward returning is one Mirotic has shown little interest in taking: Hashing it out with Portis in person — the way Kreutz and Miller once did with the Bears after their flare-up at an FBI gun range.
“One would think that  Mirotic  and Portis would work things out and grow closer (but) maybe football players are different ’’ said Miller  happily retired and living in Texas. “Football players are very group-oriented and believe in the team mentality.’’
Ironically  as a team  the Bulls likely will benefit long-term from this awkward experience. The absence of Portis and  Mirotic  opened up playing time for rookie first-round pick Lauri Markkanen  who has taken advantage enough for coach Fred Hoiberg to project superstardom. And Hoiberg  who still was searching for credibility as his third season began  has demonstrated a stronger voice leading a young  developmental team learning  well  how to roll with the punches.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Schnatter is Positive . CLOSE John Schnatter  is leaving as CEO of Papa John's Pizza. No reason was given for  Schnatter 's decision  but  he  recently faced criticism for blaming protesting NFL players for slumping pizza sales. Wochit

 Papa John's CEO John Schnatter  who overcame the odds to build his home-delivery pizza chain into a national powerhouse against entrenched rivals   is stepping down.
 Schnatter  who founded the pizza chain in 1984   will remain as chairman of the board. No immediate reason was given for  his  decision  which takes effect Jan. 1.  He  is being replaced CEO is company President Steve Ritchie.
As the founder  Schnatter has been one of the biggest names in fast food. But  he  recently ran into controversy when  he  blamed NFL players' mass move to drop to one knee during the playing of the national anthem as affecting  his  company's sales.
 Schnatter  has been one of the last CEOs who also act as  their  brand's advertising pitchman  a list that once included Col. Harland Sanders for Kentucky Fried Chicken and Dave Thomas of Wendy's. By stressing that Papa John's had better ingredients and a better tasting product  he was able to turn the burgeoning chain into a national force against giants like Domino's Pizza and Pizza Hut.
The company  which has more than 5 000 locations worldwide  said in a statement that  Schnatter  will continue to "pursue  his  personal passion for entrepreneurship  leadership development and education."
Louisville-based Papa John's is the official pizza sponsor of the National Football League  which  Schnatter  slammed in November for not dealing with players who've been kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner to protest racial injustice. The movement began with then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016.
"The NFL has been a long and valued partner over the years. But we're certainly disappointed that the NFL and its leadership did not resolve the ongoing situation to the satisfaction of all parties long ago "  Schnatter  said during a Nov. 1 analyst call. "This should've been nipped in the bud a year-and-a-half ago."
 Schnatter  isn't the first founder to step away recently from CEO duties at the company  he  built from scratch. Last month  Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO Steve Ells would become executive chairman and Panera Bread's Ron Shaich announced that he would step down  but retain his position as board chairman.
And  Schnatter himself  has said goodbye to the CEO gig before.  He  stepped down in 2005  but returned in 2008. In 2010   he  took on a co-CEO  Jude Thompson  but that arrangement ended the following year.
Now Papa John's may decide to find a new pitchman besides  Schnatter .
â He âs in every ad " Gordon said. "Thatâs very CEO-centric marketing  which is pretty unusual these days. Weâll see if  he  steps back from that.â
 He  added  â He  and/or the board see the need to get  him  out of the line on fire and to continue  his  involvement in a less visible way.â
