COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Blue Cowboys Jerseys . -- Tommie Smith and
John Carlos, the American sprinters whose raised-fist salutes at the 1968
Olympics are an ageless sign of race-inspired protest, will join the U.S.
Olympic team at the White House next week for its meeting with President Barack
Obama.Smith and Carlos were sent home from the Olympics after raising their
black-gloved fists in a symbolic protest during the U.S. national anthem. They
called it a human rights salute.U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun asked
them to serve as ambassadors as the federation tries to bring more diversity to
its own ranks. They will join the team at the White House next Wednesday and
then later that evening at an awards celebration in Washington.The sprinters
have been referenced frequently in the recent protests, spurred by?San Francisco
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, during national anthems at NFL games. One
player,?Marcus Peters of the?Chiefs,?raised his own black-gloved fist before
Kansas Citys season opener.I think Tommie and John have played an important and
positive role in the evolution of our attitudes about diversity and inclusion,
not only in the United States but around the world, Blackmun said Friday night
at a dinner to celebrate the U.S. performance in Brazil this summer.

. Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or
perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear
to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to
inquire, no more, no less. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Tony Bradley Jr. knows the
opportunity awaiting him this fall at North Carolina.The freshman big man will
suit up for a fast-paced offense that looks to get the ball inside. And the Tar
Heels could use some help up front after losing a pair of big men -- including
Associated Press first-team All-American Brice Johnson -- from an NCAA
finalist.Im not trying to say Im coming in to score, Bradley said in an
interview with The Associated Press. I dont know what to expect. Im just going
to come in and work my hardest and see where it goes from there.The 6-foot-10,
235-pound McDonalds All-American from Bartow, Florida joins a team looking to
replace Johnsons nightly double-doubles and at-the-rim finishes. With Johnson
and reserve Joel James gone, the Tar Heels are left with two experienced big men
in seniors Kennedy Meeks (6-10, 260) and Isaiah Hicks (6-9, 235).The other
members of UNCs recruiting class -- scholarship guards Seventh Woods from
Columbia, South Carolina and Brandon Robinson from Lithia Springs, Georgia,
along with preferred walk-on Shea Rush of Kansas City, Missouri -- bolster a
deep perimeter led by returning double-digit scorers Joel Berry II and Justin
Jackson.That leaves Bradley in line for a potentially significant role,
especially with Hicks having a history of foul trouble.Its just help keep up the
production, Bradley said of his focus. Thats my goal.Terrence McGriff, Bradleys
high school coach, describes Bradley as a big, wide body with good hands. He
also said Bradleys passing and decision-making was good enough that he also used
him as a halfcourt distributor from the top of the key.All those big guys
Caroliina has had since Roy (Williams) has been there, he fits right in with the
way they want to play perfectly, McGriff said.
Camo Cowboys Jerseys. Bradleys father, Tony
Sr., said his sons drive to play college basketball took off after attending the
McDonalds All-American Game as a youngster. He told his father he wanted to play
in that game, then kept a program and T-shirt from the game as a reminder as he
worked on his game and with a trainer to get stronger.The result: Bradley
entered college as Scout.coms No. 26 national prospect.He kept working and I
guess that motivated him, Tony Bradley Sr. said. When he got that call that he
made McDonalds All-American, he pulled the program out and he pulled the shirt
out. He said, `See Dad, my name will be on there. I said, `Its all about work.
You worked to get it. You earned that.Rising junior Theo Pinson has seen the
benefits of Bradleys work in pickup games since the freshman arrived on campus
last month, adding that Bradley was unafraid to call for the ball inside.I think
its very important that he gets confidence early, Pinson said. I think the
college game is more about confidence than a lot of stuff. If he feels like he
can fit in and play at this level, hell be fine.He has such a willingness to
learn and try to get better, so I dont see a problem with that at all. He came
in, hes asking questions . hes taking all that in and doing a good job.---Follow
