The Hands-up. Dont shoot! gesture that five St. Louis Rams made during pregame wasnt the first time athletes have used their platform to make political statements.A short list of some of the most famous moments:—Tommie Smith and John Carlos: The most iconic moment of them all. American sprinters Smith and Carlos took to the medal stand at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968 and raised their gloved fists — the Black Power salute. It was a time of enormous racial tension in the United States, and the gesture was front-page news in hundreds of newspapers. The athletes were booed out of the stadium and expelled from the Olympics.—Obama Salute: Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall started to pull a black-and-white glove out of his shirt, designed to honour Barack Obama shortly after he was elected President in 2008. But a teammate stopped him, fearing he might draw a penalty.—Tebow Eyeblack: Not so much a political expression as a religious one. While at Florida, Tim Tebow liked to etch bible chapters into his eyeblack, a practice he couldnt continue in the NFL, which banned such expressions.—Los Suns: In response to the passing of a state law many saw as anti-Hispanic, the owner of the Phoenix Suns had his team wear their jerseys that said Los Suns at a home game in 2010.—LeBron, Heat and hoodies: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade got the Heat to pose for a team picture with all the players wearing hoodies, the same thing Trayvon Martin was wearing when he was shot to death in 2012.— Quenelle: Soccer player Nicolas Anelka was banned for five games for performing a gesture known in France as a quenelle — described as an inverted Nazi salute — during a game last year. He was later fired by his team, West Bromwich. Other soccer players, including Paolo Di Canio and Giorgos Katidis, have also been suspended for fascist salutes.—The Rams: During pregame introductions Sunday, Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt were joined by Jared Cook, Stedman Bailey and Chris Givens, all of whom raised their hands in a show of support for protesters in Ferguson, Missouri — a suburb of St. Louis. Last Monday, a grand jury there decided not to charge the white officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, who was black. Some witnesses said Brown had his hands up before being shot, although others disputed that. Brown had been unarmed. I dont want the people in the community to feel like we turned a blind eye to it, Britt said. What would I like to see happen? Change in America. Oshane Ximines Jersey . They showered him with "MVP! MVP!" chants. In many ways, it seemed like hed never been gone. Garrett Dickerson Jersey . Team officials travelled to Los Angeles on Thursday night to meet with the free agent, a person with knowledge of the plans said. http://www.cheapnewyorkgiantsjerseysauthen...aa-penny-jersey . -- Justin Verlander took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and won his fourth straight decision, leading Detroit over the Kansas City Royals 9-4 Sunday and extending the Tigers winning streak to a season-high five games. Rod Smith Jersey . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (5) - Simply put, Lundqvist was brilliant. Nate Stupar Jersey . Kamloops, B.C., the host city of this years Tim Hortons Brier, is where he won his first Canadian mens curling crown in 1996.IRVING, Texas - Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee is set for surgery on his injured knee, but theres no timetable for his return. Coach Jason Garrett said Lee is scheduled for surgery on the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Thursday. Garrett isnt saying whether Lee will try to play in 2014. Lee was injured during 11-on-11 work on tthe first day of off-season practice last month.dddddddddddd If the Cowboys think he can make it back, they could delay a decision on season-ending injured reserve until during the season. The normal recovery time on ACL surgery is at least six months. Lee has missed 15 games the past two seasons because of toe, hamstring and neck injuries.

Be careful, be safe! Players will learn about some of the things we can do to protect themselves during these terrible events thanks to this life the game adaptation. Try to finish the three new levels and collect a few pieces for the most reliable safety approach.
