Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Evgenia Medvedeva Evgenia ? Russian figure skater  Evgenia Medvedeva  told the IOC on Tuesday that its ban on Russian athletes for the 2018 Olympics was unfair.
 Medvedeva  a gold-medal favorite for 2018   said the punishment affects athletes who were not involved in a state-backed doping scheme.
 Medvedeva  also argued that  she  could not "accept" competing under a neutral flag if given the option.
Russian figure skater  Evgenia Medvedeva  pleaded with the International Olympic Committee Executive Board on Tuesday to reconsider its ban of Russia at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang  South Korea.
"In 2014  I was 14 years old  " Medvedeva  said  via Ice Network. "I have not even entered the adult national team of my country.
 Medvedeva  also said that  she  can't "accept" competing for a neutral flag. The IOC on Tuesday said some qualifying Russian athletes who have passed several drug tests will be allowed to compete at the IOC's discretion  but they will do so in neutral uniforms.
"I can not accept the option that I would compete in the Olympic Games without the Russian flag as a neutral athlete  " Medvedeva  said. "I am proud of my country  it is a great honor for me to represent it at the Games. It gives strength and inspires me during the performances."
"Everyone has dreams  and you probably already had a chance to fulfill your own. Let me do the same!"  Medvedeva  said. "I do not know if there will be other Games in my sports life after Pyeongchang."

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity James Alan ? James Alan Fox  the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology   Law and Public Policy at Northeastern  said that despite the mediaâs sensational coverage of school shootings  they are not common.
 Fox  added that more kids are killed per year from "pool drownings or bicycle accidents."
 Fox  said that while making policy changes on guns could possibly lower school shootings  it is highly unlikely that they will stop them from happening  as the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was committed using handguns.
âThe thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events  and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it  the shooter will have a workaround â  Fox  said. âThere is not an epidemic of school shootings.â

Their sister   Morgan Margraves   wrote a statement that had been read aloud during Nassar's previous sentencing hearing in Ingham County  Mich.  where he was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison.
"I would ask you to  as part of the sentencing  to grant me five minutes in a locked room with this demon "  Margraves  says. The judge says she can't do that.
"Would you give me one minute?"  Margraves  asks.
 Margraves  then rushes across the courtroom toward Nassar.

"What if this had happened to you guys' daughters?"  Margraves  asks them.
 Margraves  turns back and says  "You haven't lived through  it   lady!"
"I understand  Mr. Margraves'  frustration "  she  says. "But you cannot do this. This is not helping your children  this is not helping your community  this is not helping us. ... Use your words  use your experiences to get  him  and to change. Do not use physical violence."
