Philadelphia Eagles rookie linebacker Myke Tavarres has decided to join Colin Kaepernick in sitting out the national anthem.Speaking to ESPN on Monday, Tavarres said he almost sat during the anthem ceremony preceding Saturday nights game against the Colts?in Indianapolis, and he plans to follow through when the Eagles host the New York Jets in their preseason finale Thursday night.Oh, I thought about it. Believe me, I definitely thought about it, Tavarres said of sitting Saturday night. And usually Im front and center on the line with the rest of the guys, and thats since pre-K all the way up. Saturdays game, I stepped back, I was in the background, and it didnt feel right to me at all, and so I will be taking a stand -- or sitting down -- for the fourth game.Kaepernick has created a national conversation for opting not to stand for The Star Spangled Banner this preseason because of his views on the countrys treatment of racial minorities.Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz had an open forum on the topic during a group meeting Monday, according to multiple players. Several people spoke, including Malcolm Jenkins, Leodis McKelvin and Tavarres, one source in attendance said.Weve got an issue in this country in this day and age, and I feel like somebody needs to step up and we all need to step up, Tavarres said. Weve got that right. Theres just a lot going on that people dont want to talk about, and I feel like us as athletes, were looked at as role models. And I feel like with Colin Kaepernick, hes doing a great job for standing up in what he believes in, and most people may not like that, but thats his opinion, hes entitled to it, and I respect him for doing it.Tavarres is an undrafted rookie out of Incarnate Word. He made the first round of cuts, as the Eagles recently trimmed their roster to 74 players, and is trying to make the team to contribute mainly on special teams.He indicated that some people in the building are aware of his plans but said he hasnt had a conversation with his coaches yet.In this situation, Ive really got nothing to lose, he said. Im a rookie free agent, havent signed any major contract, so theres not a lot of money on the line, I dont have any big endorsement deals on the line. Really whats at stake is my pride and what kind of man would I be and what kind of African-American would I be if I didnt stand my ground on this issue we have today?[It] needs to be done. Will there be backlash? Probably. I dont think anyone has bought my jersey yet, so I dont know if its going to be burned, but its a major issue and Im definitely going to stand my ground for this one. Will Harris Jersey .

BOSTON -- Jarome Iginla is finally a member of the Boston Bruins. Three months after spurning the Bruins advances at the trade deadline to choose the Pittsburgh Penguins, the long-time Calgary Flames captain signed a one-year deal with Boston. Its worth US$1.8 million and can reach $6 million with performance bonuses. Iginla had a no-trade clause in the final year of his contract with Calgary and narrowed his list of acceptable destinations in late march when it was clear the Flames were going to move him. The Flames and Bruins agreed to a trade, but Iginla nixed it when he decided he wanted to play with Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. The Bruins swept the Penguins in the Eastern Conference final, but the team Iginla is joining in Boston next season year will have a much different look than the one that lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final. Nathaan Horton signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley were traded to the Dallas Stars.dddddddddddd Knowing he was losing Horton and not expecting Jaromir Jagr to be back, general manager Peter Chiarelli said it was his goal to "reconstruct" the right side of his forward lines. Loui Eriksson came back from the Stars, and adding Iginla was the next step. Iginlas contract is cap-friendly for the Bruins, counting just $1.8 million in 2013-14. If he achieves any or all of the $4.2 million in performance bonuses, that money counts in 2014-15. Iginla spent 15-plus seasons with the Flames. After being traded to Pittsburgh, the 36-year-old had five goals and six assists in 13 regular-season games, then four goals and eight assists in 15 playoff games. In 1,232 games, Iginla has 530 goals and 576 assists. ns, counting just $1.8 million in 2013-14. If he a//www.cheapjerseysauthenticmlb.com/]Wholesale Baseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
