DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins safety Michael Thomas said Wednesday that he has received death threats via social media for kneeling during the national anthem before two games this season.Thomas, along with teammates Arian Foster, Kenny Stills and Jelani Jenkins, are taking a stand against racial oppression by kneeling during the national anthem. Jenkins only kneeled during the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.Thomas is the second NFL player, along with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, to publicly acknowledge receiving death threats for not standing during the anthem.Ive definitely received something similar, Thomas said. Like I said, [racial oppression] is alive and well in this nation. A lot of people dont understand where were coming from, but its our reality. Thats why were doing this to try to find solutions.Regardless if its serious or not, no one has come to my doorstep yet with a gun. I know what Im standing for is right. I believe that in my heart and Im going to continue to do what I got to do to keep the conversation going.Thomas said he hadnt informed the Dolphins or their security detail because the death threats have been restricted to social media.Thomas, Foster, Stills and Jenkins participated in a town hall meeting with local police, military and community leaders at the teams facility on Tuesday. The president of the Broward County police union recently urged workers not to escort Dolphins players to games after their recent stance. But Thomas described the meeting as productive and both sides listened.It was definitely great to hear the perspective of our law enforcement, because obviously their voice counts, Thomas said. It was great to hear that they honestly felt that there is a problem, and its going to take maybe changing that culture of policing. So to hear that coming from them -- we werent necessarily expecting to hear that from them. So that was great. That was powerful.Thomas expects more meetings and collaboration between the Dolphins and local law enforcement in the future. Thomas said he hasnt decided if he will kneel during the national anthem for a third straight game during Sundays home opener against the Cleveland Browns. Patrick Mekari Jersey .

Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens. During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat sees Saturday nights much-anticipated clash against Sydney FC as an opportunity to burst the A-League leaders bubble.As far as propositions go in the A-League right now, they dont come much more daunting than playing the Sky Blues at Allianz Stadium.Graham Arnolds side is undefeated, three points clear at the top of the table and havent conceded a goal after four rounds.Muscat concedes Victory are the underdogs going into the first Big Blue of the season, but is confident his side travels to Sydney expecting success rather than hoping for it.Were going at the top of the table team who havent conceded a goal, theyre title favourites, FFA Cup favourites - you name it - but we still go there with no fear, Muscat said on Friday.I certainly feel that and the group certainly feels that.Well go across to Sydney where weve done well in terms of performances, certainly in my time.What better way to go there and burst Sydneys bubble?Muscat agreed the ladder doesnt lie as an indicator of form but believes its too early in the season to declare Arnolds side the stand out team in the competition.Theres a lot of factors you need to go into, he said.This is our third trip in (five) rounds and Sydney have left New South Wales once in four rounds.So it will work itself out in time. At this point in time theyve performed very well.Victory are riding high after their 6-1 drubbing of Wellington Phoenix last week that moved them into third spot on the ladder, five points adrift of Sydney.ddddddddddddThe only sour note was the loss of Daniel Georgievski, who is out for up to a month with a broken collarbone.Skipper Carl Valeri and German import Maxi Beister wont travel with the team, with Muscat taking a patient approach as the duo work into peak fitness.Were not in the business of taking risks so early in the season, he said.Carls got through near enough everything but at this point in time I dont see the point.Maxi wont be in the squad either. I just feel that there are players in the team that are ahead of him in terms of fitness at this point in time so we wont put him at risk.Hes improved ... hes been here just over a week now, so its still early.
