RIO DE JANEIRO -- Lisa Borders and WNBA players are ready to move forward.With the league resuming play this weekend after a monthlong Olympic break, Borders outlined to The Associated Press a plan to have teams and players hold conversations in the community, similar to what Carmelo Anthony and the U.S. Olympic basketball teams did in Los Angeles last month. The WNBA president said that was a solid blueprint for what can be done in each WNBA city.Weve created a guidebook which will enable each of our teams to take that same concept and bring it to life in their market, Borders said in an interview with The Associated Press. Our players are ready to start that phase and lead it with their colleagues from the NBA; and if there are folks from other sports franchises that want to participate, well welcome that, as well.Borders didnt give a timetable of when the plan would be implemented. The league had fined three teams and their players last month for wearing shirts to show solidarity after shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The fines were later rescinded a few days later, right before the Olympic break.I think it would be great. Anything would be great, said New York Liberty center Tina Charles. Its embarrassing that it got to the point that it got to. The fact that president Lisa Borders is willing to take the next step forward, its not about keeping the players happy. Its because you need to show your support in what your players need. Were happy and thrilled that something will get done.Charles had been one of the most outspoken WNBA players in support of the movement. She wore her warm-up shirt inside out for the Libertys last game before the Olympic break, even after the teams had been fined.Shes a young woman that has a strong voice, a compelling voice, and shes found that voice and is using it in a very constructive way. And I am proud of her, and I told her that, Borders said. If you call that clearing the air, this is the commissioner saying, You go, girl. Im very happy with her and for her.Tamika Catchings, who is president of the players association, attended and spoke at the Los Angeles meeting. She said that she and?Indiana Pacers?star Paul George came away from that event planning on doing their own community conversation in Indianapolis. She welcomed Borders idea as a positive move.Its a great step forward. Great that we can come together and do it united and have a united front that we always talk about, Catchings said.Despite the contentiousness before the break, Borders was proud of the players for taking a stance.Any movement in modern history has started with young people, she said. This was no exception. Im a child of the civil rights movement.There are issues in the world today in our country that we need to deal with. Our players felt the need to speak up, and I think thats a good thing. Best Price ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals 069564-56401 ESPRESSO COCOA BROWN BLACK . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.

Nico Hulkenberg expects to compete for wins at Renault, the team he will join in 2017 and where he hopes to build a new success story of his own.Last week it was confirmed Hulkenberg will leave Force India for Renault next season. When the announcement was made Hulkenberg said Michael Schumachers original stint with the Benetton-Renault team helped spark his love for Formula One, and the German hopes to create his own piece of history with the Enstone team.I think them being a manufacturer, they are under some expectations to be successful and be at the front and compete for wins, Hulkenberg said in the Thursday press conference in Austin. And thats obviously what Im looking for. We know theres still a long journey ahead of them to climb back to the top because its been a difficult year and where theyve come from, when they bought Lotus last year, it was not the easiest situation.So it will take a bit of time to rebuild the team and get back to the top butt obviously what I see there is a good future, definitely is a big challenge, a good challenge, and I want to build a new success story with them.ddddddddddddIts another career move for Hulkenberg, whose F1 career started with Williams in 2010. He then spent two years with Force India, one as a test driver before returning to a race seat in 2012. He then spent a season at Sauber before returning to Force India in 2014.Hulkenberg is convinced he has made the right step for his career.I believe it is the right step in my career at this point. I think and feel I have come a long way with Force India, its my fifth year and we had good success together, but time for a new challenge. Since I was in F1 I wanted to race for a manufacturer team and this is a really good opportunity, the timing was good too. A good decision from my side.
