SAN FRANCISCO - The shootings of two black men by police in Tulsa and Charlotte reverberated in the US sports world Wednesday as racial tensions flared around the United States. Kaepernick's actions have sparked outrage in some quarters, but Kerr said it was important to start a dialogue. - 'Not right' -"The reason these guys are kneeling, the reason we're locking arms is to bring people together to make people aware that this is not right," Sherman said Wednesday. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton spoke more obliquely, saying he didn't know enough about the specifics of the shootings to comment. "No matter what the race is, no matter what the gender is, no matter what the age is, we all have to hold each other accountable."
