SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks protest of racial oppression and inequality in the United States continued before Monday nights 28-0 win over the Los Angeles Rams.For the second game in a row, Kaepernick and safety Eric Reid knelt during the song while teammates Antoine Bethea and Eli Harold stood and held up their right fists.I think its become so blatantly obvious that athletes and people in general have to react, Kaepernick said. Its not something that, with social media, theres so many instances where its instantly to you and you see these things every day, day after day and thats hard.For me, it was something that I couldnt see another hashtag Sandra Bland, hashtag Tamir Rice, hashtag Walter Scott, hashtag Eric Garner, the list goes on and on and on, Kaepernick said. At what point do we do something about it? At what point do we take a stand and as a people say this isnt right? You have a badge, yes. Youre supposed to be protecting us, not murdering us, and thats what the issue really is and we need to change that.Rams defensive end Robert Quinn and receiver Kenny Britt also held up fists. Britt also was one of five Rams players to raise hands before a game after unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.Just standing up for my rights, Quinn said. Everyone knows the whole situation. Long story short, Fisher asked us to stand. So I respect him enough to do that. But at least to show awareness, raise my fist, show support out there that you have support throughout the league. I didnt want to try to distract the team; just want to have my right of freedom.Niners defensive lineman Quinton Dial helped hold a large flag during the anthem.Harold, the San Francisco linebacker, said the issue was bigger than football and that he took exception to fans reaction when Kaepernick came in.What really pissed me off was when Kap was getting snaps at the end of the game and the crowd was booing, Harold said. Im not throwing shots at our fans. Its not about that. Liberty and justice for all. Just because this man is standing up for something he believes in doesnt give you the right to boo him. I just dont understand it, man. I really dont.Harold also took issue with ESPN NFL analyst Trent Dilfers critical comments on Kaepernick from Sunday.This is our profession, but if a guy wants to stand up and believe in something, you shouldnt shoot him down and talk down on him and say he put himself above the team when that wasnt the issue, Harold said.Kaepernick said earlier this week that he would continue to kneel during the national anthem and reaffirmed that plan to ESPNs Lindsay Czarniak on Monday night.I know theres conversations that players are having in the locker rooms, Kaepernick said. Weve had them in our locker room as well. People are really feeling their humanity and really feeling like, you know what, this might not be something I experience on a daily basis, but its not right that these other people are going through this. And thats ultimately what it comes down to.Last week, Jed York, the 49ers chief executive officer, pledged $1 million from the teams charitable foundation to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the San Francisco Foundation, organizations with goals to assist in some of the same areas Kaepernick is attempting to help.Kaepernick previously pledged the first $1 million he makes this season to help communities in need and has said he will do the same with proceeds from his jersey sales.On Monday night, York said he and Kaepernick have had conversations over the past few weeks and again offered support to Kaepernicks efforts.Id just say that human rights is a philosophy that everybody should hold dear, York said. Its not easy to make a stand and to do something thats not popular -- thats everybody -- and I think thats what Colin has done, but I think hes done it in a respectful way. Hes trying to bring a voice to people that he doesnt feel have one, and I think we want to do the same thing and try to help.York added that he has no problems with his players figuring out which actions they want to take and then following through.Im not going to tell the guys what to do, York said. Im not going to get into that. Thats not my place. The locker room will take care of itself. I think even with this, when everybody wants to talk about is this a distraction, whats going on, its been something that I think has been an issue that most people havent discussed openly in locker rooms and quite honestly most places. And I think our locker room is one of the places where guys can ... they find a way to actually have a conversation about it as opposed to looking and having a preconceived notion of what does this mean and then kind of going their own separate ways.While Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall has lost endorsements over his decision to kneel before Thursdays game against the Carolina Panthers, York said the 49ers have received no blowback from sponsors.Theyve all been really good, York said.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Theres still plenty at stake at the Wyndham Championship this year -- even if some of the big names from last year arent playing.Tiger Woods didnt return, sidelined by a back injury. And Davis Love III -- a local favorite and three-time winner who had hip surgery last month -- is only watching.When play begins Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club, the field once again will be littered with players trying to force their way off the PGA Tours bubble in the final week of golfs regular season and earn spots in the first round of the playoffs.Others are trying to make one last impression on Love, whos scouting as the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team.Woods made his only appearance in Greensboro a year ago in a last-ditch effort to make the postseason. He finished four strokes behind Love and fell short of the top 125 on the points list.But his presence had Sedgefield abuzz all week and helped the tournament set its modern-day attendance record of about 143,000 for the four rounds, including about 35,000 on the final day. It was the last tournament Woods played on the tour because of back surgery.This is the next-to-last chance to earn Ryder Cup points, with the top eight players determined after the first playoff event at The Barclays next week at Bethpage Black.Love will make his first three captains picks Sept. 11 after the BMW Championship in Carmel, Indiana. The final pick comes two weeks later after the Tour Championship in Atlanta.Among Loves possibilities here this week: Jim Furyk plays his first round since shooting the first 58 in PGA Tour history during the final round of the Travelers Chaampionship.dddddddddddd Rickie Fowler is one of seven Olympians here, and 2007 Wyndham winner Brandt Snedeker also is back.The Wyndham has long relished its spot as the last chance for the tours bubble players to force their way into the FedEx Cup playoffs, which are open to the top 125 players on the points list, and secure their spots on the tour for next season.The playoffs, obviously thats where you can do the most damage, said Harold Varner III, who grew up in Gastonia and played college golf at East Carolina. Right now, I feel good. I just want to seal my card. Thats the biggest thing because sometimes you dont get into all the events your rookie year.I did a pretty good job of that, got into two majors. A lot of positives, but theres still some big tournaments coming up, like this one this week.Varner sure seems safe at No. 79 on the points list in his first year on the tour. Others arent nearly so secure.Every player ranked from No. 121 to No. 135 has entered. Some, like No. 121 David Toms and No. 124 Matt Jones, want to play well enough to hold on to their spots. Others, like No. 126 Scott Stallings and No. 129 Steve Marino, need to earn enough points to move up a few spots.Perhaps theyll draw inspiration from Love, who last year made the biggest jump in the tournaments history. His victory propelled him from No. 186 to No. 76.But in 2014, only one player outside the top 125 -- Sang-Moon Bae -- earned enough points here to move into the playoffs. The year before, nobody did it. ' ' '
