Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lowell Bailey is Neutral . For his profession   Lowell Bailey  wears a .22 caliber rifle strapped to  his  back. It has taken  him  across the world and to four Olympic Games  most recently to the biathlon mixed relay Tuesday night at Alpensia Biathlon Centre  where  he  skied the anchor leg for a United States team that finished 15th.  His  sport and  his  livelihood revolve around shooting.  His  competitors from other countries often wonder about  his  country's relationship with guns.
Biathlon and mass murder of innocent people share no connective tissue  other than the broadest definition of the tool used. Even understanding that intellectual fact   Bailey  and  his  teammates often experience a visceral need to reconcile the shooting portion of their sport and the destruction guns have caused in their country. They are shooting rifles while representing a country where debates over gun control have once again become a central issue.
Tuesday night  under the lights and in front of a packed grandstand   Bailey  spoke out.
"I support an assault weapons ban  " Bailey  said. "I really do. Our country needs to wake up. Our country needs to change. There's just no excuse. I compete against all of these other World Cup nations â Germany  Norway. How good are they on the range? They're great at rifle marksmanship. Do you know how strict their gun controls law are? It's a travesty America hasn't changed and continues to go down this path. It just makes me want to cry."
"We're really aware we are a firearm sport  that we are a shooting sport " Firesteel Reid said. "A lot of us have pretty strong opinions about this. I think  we  get grouped into a certain type of person  and I don't think any of  us  are that type of person. That has been quite fascinating."
While the rules here are extreme  U.S. gun laws confound biathletes from other countries.  Bailey  said  he  has discussed the U.S. laws with rivals  and mostly they are left at a loss.
"They're absolutely baffled "  Bailey  said. "They're baffled at the political landscape of the United States and how we can continue to put assault weapons in the hands of anyone who wants to walk into a gun store and buy one."
"We're a sport that uses a .22 caliber rifle "  Bailey  said. "A .22 caliber rifle with a bolt action that shoots a single round is a much different thing than an AR-15. In my opinion  there's just no reason for assault rifles to be in the hands of ordinary citizens. I understand the Second Amendment. I appreciate hunting. I appreciate rifle marksmanship. You're talking about rifles. You're talking about targets. You're not talking about weapons that are designed to kill people.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Luke Walton is Negative . LOS ANGELES --  Luke Walton  and Lonzo Ball both say that the Los Angeles Lakers' head coach has not lost the locker room  as LaVar Ball asserted.
Lonzo Ball also said  "I'll play for anybody " when asked whether he is fine with  Walton  as his coach.?
 Walton  ?whose team ended a nine-game losing streak with a 132-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night  disagreed with LaVar's latest criticism of him.  Walton   who said Friday morning that he is not coaching as if his job is on the line  was asked whether he has received assurances from anyone in Lakers upper management.
"Yeah. We're  I feel  very secure in my job status right now "  Walton  said. "We talk all the time. They're 100 percent behind and supporting what we're doing."
Lakers majority owner Jeanie Buss tweeted strong support with the hashtag "InLukeWeTrust" on New Year's Eve  and all indications have been that  Walton 's job security is not an issue.?A Lakers source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that Walton's job status is "not even a conversation."
This is not the first time LaVar Ball has been critical of  Walton 's coaching. He has said that the Lakers' coaching staff is "soft" and doesn't know how to coach his son  and he expressed his displeasure with how  Walton  was using his son in the fourth quarter of games.
The Lakers already have held a meeting with the elder Ball and asked him to tone down his criticisms of  Walton  to foster a better atmosphere for Lonzo Ball and continue a positive relationship with the organization.
LaVar Ball's latest comments left the No. 2 overall pick having to answer several questions Sunday morning about the state of the Lakers' locker room and his relationship with  Walton .
"He is going to speak his mind. He is not going to change " said Lonzo Ball  who says he hasn't spoken to LaVar since his father and two brothers landed in Lithuania  where LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are playing for the pro team Prienu Vytautas. "... I don't think [ Walton  has lost the locker room]. I mean   he 's our head coach. We are going to play for  him .
"That is just  his  opinion.  He  has coached me  his  whole life. So  he  is definitely going to have a strong opinion about it. That's just what it is."?
"I don't see that the players aren't playing hard "  Walton  said. "I think the players are playing very hard. We've been through a hard stretch  but they are giving us what they have  and we're going to keep working  and we'll be fine."
"I'm fine with it. It doesn't bother me "  Walton  said of LaVar Ball's repeated criticism of  him . "My only concern with any of it is for Zo. As long as Zo's fine with it and Zo can come out and play  and it doesn't affect mine and his relationship  then it doesn't bother me at all."
Lonzo Ball said that he focuses on playing basketball and that he has told  Walton  before that his father's comments don't affect him.
 Walton  was asked whether LaVar Ball's comments could possibly influence what management is thinking about its coach and the team's rebuild.
"I would hope not  but it doesn't influence what we're doing "  Walton  said of the coaching staff. "I've said all along there's always parents  and parents are going to get mad at things -- that's what they do. And it's our job as coaches and coaches in the organization to do what's best for our team and our players  and we make those decisions based on what we see every single day in the facility and on the court."

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy is Negative . More than half the seats in Catalonia ' s 135 - seat parliament will be occupied by pro - independence parties .  Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy ' s own right - wing People ' s Party alone looks to lose 60 % of their seats  . But there ' s one person who most certainly won ' t be sitting in one of those seats   even though — thanks to a YouTube video that ’  s  been viewed almost a million times —  he  most likely did more than a little to help Thursday ' s overwhelming pro - independence win . “ The situation on Oct . 1 changed everything  ” Albano Dante Fachin told BuzzFeed News as  he  cleaned out  his  office inside Catalonia ’ s parliament building on Thursday night . Oct . 1 was the day Catalonia held a referendum on whether to separate from Spain   a move the Spanish government had tried desperately to prevent . Police and other armed forces were sent into the region to try to keep people from the polls   but Catalan leaders still declared a victory for the independence movement . After the vote   the Spanish senate triggered Article 155 of the country ’ s constitution   which stripped the region of its autonomy . Thursday night ’ s snap election was called by Rajoy after he used his new authority to dissolve the Catalan parliament and imprison eight politicians . Catalan President Carles Puigdemont fled to Brussels   where he has been campaigning via livestream and social media . It ’ s been a hectic election full of vicious identity politics   disorienting misinformation   and increasing paranoia among Catalans about Spanish governmental overreach . Seven major parties were vying for seats on Thursday . But for most voters   instead of thinking of things in terms of right and left   it was a decision between a pro - Catalan independence voting bloc and a rival bloc of parties that have campaigned on Catalonia remaining a part of Spain . For Catalans   it came down to a race between the left - wing progressive party Esquerra Republicana on the “ independentista ” side and economic liberal party Ciudadanos on the unionist   a victory for either deciding the region ’ s future relationship with Madrid . There was one party   though   that tried to stay out of the independence debate . Podemos   a left - wing anti - corruption party that was founded in 2014 out of Spain ’ s Occupy Wall Street equivalent   resisted choosing a side . But thanks to Fachin   its now - former general secretary   it ended up having one of the biggest impacts on this week ’ s vote . Fachin shocked Catalans last week after he announced via YouTube video that he was resigning from Podemos and voting for a pro - independence party . The video has currently been watched over 800   000 times and   according to Spanish media   it ’ s the most watched video of the election . His decision to vote for an independence party to protest Spain ’ s crackdown on the region   and not because he agreed with the results of the Catalan referendum   became a lightning rod on social media .
