Question: 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."

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Giancarlo Stanton ? Skip in Skip  x Embed x Share CLOSE Giancarlo Stanton  is hitting home runs at a ridiculous pace this season  but the distance they are traveling is equally hard to believe.  USA TODAY Sports

They want  Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton   and while itâs not realistic now  it could be by the start of the 2018 season.
 Stanton   who passed through waivers without a sniff a few weeks ago  suddenly has a captive audience  hitting  his  50th home run Sunday earlier than any player since Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa in 2001.
Despite his exploits  no team has informed the Marlins they would be willing to pay the remainder of  Stanton âs entire salary  a cool $295 million over the next 10 years beginning in 2018.
Yet  not even the Marlins  who will be sold as soon as their season ends to a group led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman  are stupid enough to trade  Stanton  now.
 Stanton  will be wearing a Marlinsâ uniform right up until the their season finale on Oct. 1  or longer if they happen to make the playoffs.
The Marlins  with Jeter running the show once the sale closes  will trade  Stanton .
It would be altogether different  of course  if Jeffrey Loria was still owning the team. He would be lampooned to Cuba if he dared trade  Stanton .
The difference now  of course  is that when  Stanton  is traded  Jeter will be in charge.
The Marlins  who want to keep their payroll around $100 million  simply canât have one-third of their payroll tied into one player  no matter how many homers  Stanton  hits.
Letâs face it  considering  Stanton âs injury-plagued past   his  trade value may never be higher.
The Cardinals have the money  and certainly the most prospects of any team interested in  Stanton   but  Stanton  also has complete no-trade rights. Itâs unknown what teams  he  would be willing to approve a trade.
 Stanton âs preference would be the Dodgers  where  he  grew up in the Los Angeles area and still lives during the offseason. But sorry  the Dodgersâ days of wild spending are over  vowing to shed payroll.
Letâs see if  Stanton  can hit two more home runs this month and break Rudy Yorkâs record of 18 homers in August of 1937; hit 12 more homers to pass Maris; or even continue this crazy tear and produce a 70-homer season.
When itâs all over  and he puts away his bats for the winter  we can watch  Stanton  establish yet another record.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ben Bradlee ? Staffer Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) registers this disconnect  and leaks a top-secret government report on the war to the New York Times. And whenever the Times gets a scoop   Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks)  gets riled.
 Bradlee 's ambitions were not modest  however.  He  just needed time. And now  suddenly  when the Post also got their own copy of the report   he  had it.
The film isn't Spielberg's subtlest  but it has some nicely subtle touches  like when  his  long-lens camera peers through White House windows to catch glimpses of a president and  his  henchmen; we hear their actual voices from tapes Nixon was forced to give up  years later.
Tom Hanks makes for a blustery  Ben Bradlee   and Meryl Streep plays Kay Graham as hesitant but steely  seemingly the only woman in the corridors of power â and ironically  the one with the power to defend the First Amendment.  Bradlee  can talk principle all  he  wants â and  he  does here  often â but only Graham can publish.
MONDELLO: Staffer Daniel Ellsberg registers how this doesn't jibe with what McNamara was saying on the plane or with a secret government report he has access to. When he leaks that report  The New York Times gets a huge scoop  and  Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee...
TOM HANKS: (As  Ben Bradlee ) Is anybody else tired of reading the news instead of reporting it?
HANKS: (As  Ben Bradlee ) We are sucking hind tit in our own backyard.
HANKS: (As  Ben Bradlee ) No  it's 7 000 pages detailing how the White House has been lying about the Vietnam war for 30 years. It's Truman and Eisenhower and Jack. LBJ lying - lying about Vietnam. And you think that's one story. Let's do our jobs. Find those pages.
MONDELLO:  Bradlee 's ambitions were not modest  however.  He  just needed time  and suddenly  he  had it.
HANKS: (As Ben Bradlee) I'd give my left one to be in this mess.
HANKS: (As  Ben Bradlee ) Whoa.
MONDELLO: Put to the torch - a phrase you don't hear much today in a film where the clatter of typewriters competes with the whoosh of pages sent by pneumatic tube to a press room where molten lead turns them into lines of type. And running the show - Tom Hanks as a blustery  Ben Bradlee  and Meryl Streep...
MONDELLO: ...As a hesitant but steely Katharine Graham  seemingly the only woman in the corridors of power and  ironically  the one with the power to defend the First Amendment.  Bradlee  can talk principle all  he  wants.
HANKS: (As  Ben Bradlee)  If we don't hold them accountable  I mean  my God  who will?

Neutral
