TASK DEFINITION: Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Richard Sherman is Neutral . Richard Sherman  is not a fan of the NFL's injury reports.
Speaking with reporters on Wednesday   Sherman  who has been listed as questionable the past two weeks despite not missing a defensive snap for the Seahawks   said that the injury reports existed more for the people betting on the games than anyone else.
"I guess from what I understand the rule is for the gamblers  for Vegas  to make sure the odds and everything are what they are supposed to be  which is apparently what the league is concerned about when talking about injuries and things like that "  Sherman  said. "So maybe somebody should look into that  because I thought we weren't a gambling league and we were against all those things. But our injury report is specifically to make sure the gamblers get their odds right."
In response to  Sherman 's comments  the NFL put out a statement seemingly confirming  Sherman 's beliefs. However  the league counters the claim that they are for gambling  and instead suggesting that they are to protect the league from gambling.
 Sherman  added that  it  wasn't just people betting on games in Las Vegas that were beneficiaries of the NFL's injury reports. "Fantasy football  oh my God  " Sherman  said. "They are almost as bad as the gamblers."
While he was lighthearted by the end of the presser  it's striking to see a player call out the league for a policy as plainly as  Sherman  did in this case. You can watch  Sherman 's comments below.
The Seahawks head to Nashville on Sunday to take on the Tennessee Titans. Having not missed a game since 2011  fans can expect  Sherman  to play  regardless of what the injury report says on Sunday.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zach LaVineSteve Kerr is Positive . Summarizing the stereotypes   Zach LaVine  was a risk  coming off surgery to repair  his  left ACL. Kris Dunn was a bust  a broken-down shell of a former lottery pick. And Lauri Markkanen was an unknown  a soft European headed the way of Andrea Bargnani.
“ Zach  is going to be terrific ” Thibodeau said in an interview last July at the Vegas Summer League. “ He ’s a great worker.  He  puts a lot into it.  He  has made great strides each year. And  he ’ll continue to because of the way  he  approaches things.
 LaVine  made  his  debut Saturday — albeit on a 20-minute limit — look about as effortless as one could after an 11-month layoff. That’s testament not only to  LaVine ’s work ethic and skill but  his  athleticism.
“ He  gives you the ability at the end of the shot clock when you don't have anything to just rise up and freeze a defender and make a shot with a high degree of difficulty ” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “That's a skill  obviously  that you have to have at this level. Zach  at times  makes the game look very easy.”

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sadiq Khan is Positive . London mayor Sadiq Khan  unveiled  his  âLondon Planâ on Wednesday  and  as expected  it took a tough stance against a dangerous threat jeopardizing the health and future of the cityâs children. No  itâs not a strategy to protect Londoners from potential terrorist attacks at public festivals this Christmas season. The menace is cellulite and the perp is a cheeseburger.
 Khan âs plan would prevent any new fast-food restaurant from opening within 400 meters of a primary or secondary school  fulfilling a campaign pledge  he  made in 2013. The ban targets âtakeawaysâ that sell food such as fish and chips  pizza  chicken  and other quick bites that are allegedly contributing to Londonâs childhood-obesity crisis. (Nearly 40 percent of children in London are overweight or obese by the time they finish grade school  and the number of obese eleven-year-olds in the city spiked by 22 percent in the last four years.)
The mayor is also asking restaurants to make food healthier by using fewer villainous ingredients  and grilling or baking food items instead of frying them: âThe Healthier Catering Commitment is a scheme that helps food businesses in London to provide healthier food to their customers. The scheme promotes a reduction in the consumption of fat  salt and sugar  and an increase in access to fruit and vegetables.â (To  his  credit   Khan  is reportedly trying to stop the number of pubs closing in the city each year. Two cheers for that.)
 Khan âs plan might actually make the problem worse. In 2008  Los Angeles set up new zoning rules that restrict the opening or expansion of âstand aloneâ restaurants in low-income areas of the city to combat health problems in those neighborhoods. But according to a 2015 RAND Corporation study  the rules havenât worked; in fact  after they were implemented  obesity rates for residents living in the targeted neighborhoods grew faster than in other parts of the city: âThe South Los Angeles fast food ban may have symbolic value  but it has had no measurable impact in improving diets or reducing obesity â said Roland Sturm  the lead author of the study. Business owners  who are usually smarter than politicians  figured out a way around the rules by opening smaller food stores or restaurants with limited seating. Shrewd Londoners could find similar loopholes in  Khan âs plan  perhaps by building a new restaurant 420 meters away from a school instead of 400.
