RENTON, Wash. -- Colin Kaepernicks message is picking up support in the Seattle Seahawks locker room, with wide receiver Doug Baldwin and defensive end Cliff Avril considering a protest in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins.Asked if he has considered taking a knee during the national anthem, Baldwin said, I have. I want to make sure that I get all of my ducks in a row before I do so.Added Avril: Were thinking about it. I am. I truly respect what Kaep is doing. I think some people are taking it out of context because theyre not experiencing the same thing other people are experiencing. They cant really see it. But as a person that does see it and does see whats really going on out here, I definitely could see me doing something about it as well.Baldwin recently posted a message on Facebook in which a member of the military told the wide receiver that hed support him if he were to kneel for the anthem.Baldwin and several of his teammates spent a day training with combat divers this offseason and have discussed their respect for the armed forces.After Kaepernicks initial protest, Baldwin said he reached out to the 49ers quarterback and talked to him extensively.My grandfather being in the military, it hit home for me as well, Baldwin said. Its the veterans. Thats more heartening to me than anything. Its the veterans that have reached out and said that thats what they fought for. Thats what they sacrificed their lives for was to give people back home under the flag, under the country, the opportunity to stand up or sit for what they believe in. So that was very heartening for me to hear that and that response from the veterans.Avril said he doesnt see the gesture as one that disrespects the military.Are you really disrespecting the military from the standpoint, like lets talk about the people that go to war, how theyre treated when they come back, Avril said. Lets talk about that. Thats the ultimate disrespect. But thats what this countrys built off of -- freedom of speech. So why is it a big deal that [Kaepernicks] able to display how he feels? Thats crazy to me. It cant be one-sided. It also depends on whos doing it.Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane sat on the bench during the national anthem of the teams final preseason game against the Oakland Raiders and said he was showing support for Kaepernick.Kaepernick was joined by his teammate, Eric Reid, in protest before the 49ers final preseason game.Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said the players have also discussed some kind of unified protest on Sunday.I do support Kaep in what hes doing, the message behind it, Wagner said. I think sometimes everybodys taking the message wrong because theres a lot of stuff thats going on, a lot of bad stuff thats going on. And that needs to be fixed. So at some point, youve got to do whatever you need to do to get that fixed.And I think what hes done is open up that conversation and make people talk about it. Whenever youve got the president talking about those types of things, its definitely getting his message across .I think its a very positive message. I think there should be justice and equality for everybody, no matter what your skin color is. And I think thats what hes fighting for because a lot of black people dont get that.Anything that we want to do, its not going to be individual. Its going to be a team thing because thats what the world needs to see. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals.Asked whether athletes should take into account that Sunday is 9/11, Baldwin said, Absolutely. I think that anybody should be thinking about that. Even if it wasnt September 11th, the point of the protest is to get people to think. I think its very ironic to me that 15 years ago, on September 11th, one of the most devastating times in U.S. history, and after that day, we were probably one of the most unified that weve ever been.And today, you struggle to see the unity. Its very ironic to me that this date is coming up. Its going to be a very special day, a very significant day, but at the same time Im looking forward to the many changes and differences that we can make in this country, to make better changes in our country.Avril said hes still trying to decide how to best get his message across.Im just debating on how or what I should do, he said. I think we should all bring awareness to it. I dont think were being disrespectful to the military or to the flag. I think were just trying to bring awareness to whats really going on out here. I think a lot of people are acting naive to some of the injustice thats going on out here.Added Baldwin: The point is to bring attention and awareness to your protest. To bring attention to whats going on. And I think thats what the issue is here is that were missing the message in terms of what were talking about. Its not necessarily about the messenger or about the protest itself. Its about what were pointing to. Nike Air Force 1 France .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. HOUSTON -- Last season, Houston outlasted Louisville 34-31 thanks in part to miscues by Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson in his first career start.Things have changed.Jackson is now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and has No. 3 Louisville (9-1) in the hunt for a spot in the College Football Playoff as the Cardinals visit Houston on Thursday night .Jackson threw for 168 yards and a touchdown against the Cougars last season. But also tossed two interceptions, and a late touchdown pass by Greg Ward helped Houston to the victory.Were a much different team than we were last year, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. Right then we were trying to even find out who we are and what we were doing and everything was new to Lamar when he was out there ... just understanding the difference between high school football and college football. So I dont think last years game will play into this game at all.This season, Jackson has thrown for 2,898 yards and 27 touchdowns. He has added 1,334 yards rushing and leads the nation with 19 rushing touchdowns.His performance has helped the Cardinals rise to No. 5 in the CFP rankings with two games remaining. But Petrino insists that they arent overly concerned with the rankings and are instead focused on the Cougars.They just have to understand that they need to go out and play well, and play the type of football we are capable of playing, Petrino said. Really, thats what we need to do our last two games, and then whatever happens, happens. We cant control any of that.The Cougars (8-2) will counter with Ward, their dual-threat quarterback. He has 2,608 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and 429 yards rushing and nine more scores. Coach Tom Herman said hell play on Thursday despite leaving Saturdays game against Tulane after aggravating a shoulder injury hes been dealing with for several weeks and being bothered by an ankle injury.He is pretty banged up, as he has been most of the year, Herman said. He still gets treatment threee times a day on his ankle that really slowed him down in the SMU game and in that stretch in October .dddddddddddd.. (but) hes going to play.Some things to know about the Louisville-Houston game:STREAKINGThe Cougars have the second-longest home winning streak in the nation at 14 games. They havent lost at home since a 31-24 defeat by Tulane on Nov. 8, 2014. They have won five straight games over Top 25 teams and opened their 2016 campaign with a 33-23 win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma.THE `OTHER BACKSomewhat overshadowed by Jacksons running success is senior RB Brandon Radcliff, whose 141-yard, three-TD effort helped ignite Louisvilles comeback over Wake Forest last week. His first 100-yard performance in six games gave him 768 for the season and an outside chance at giving the Cardinals their first pair of 1,000-yard rushers.BACKING UP WARDWard will have a new backup on Thursday after Kyle Postma broke his arm last week. Postma had surgery to insert a plate and screws in his arm on Monday, leaving DEriq King to back up Ward for the rest of the season. The freshman was a high school quarterback, but has appeared in 10 games with four starts at receiver this season. He has 228 yards receiving and a touchdown.NOTHING DOINGLouisvilles defense has stiffened since losing to Clemson, yielding of average of just 14.2 points and under 246.4 yards in five games. The Cardinals held Wake Forest to 214 yards -- just 37 in the second half -- and rank sixth nationally in total defense at 285.2 yards per contest.BACK AND FEELING GOODHouston LB Tyus Bowser had a career-high 11 tackles, included a career-best three sacks last week against Tulane in his return from injury. Bowser had missed the previous five games after a scuffle with teammate Matthew Adams left Bowser with a facial fracture.---AP Sports Writer Gary B. Graves contributed to this report.
