Growing up, I called Long Island, an outer suburb of New York City, home. Larry Doby Jersey . However, I traveled into Manhattan as often as three times per week with my family at a very young age. My parents, both city kids, encouraged my older brother and I to expand our horizons beyond the slower-paced burbs and exposed us to the best (and worst) of what the City offered.Because of that balance, I became a freethinker at quite a young age. I was quickly able to assess situations and determine whether I wanted to engage further or detach myself entirely. For the most part, this worked well for me. I was decisive in my choices and often regretted nothing. Although my parents supported me in every aspect of life, and continue to consult me on major decisions to this day, they never pressured me to do what they wanted me to do. I was empowered to make the right choice for me.That may be why, despite having access to a swimming pool, which was actually right in my parents backyard, they accepted my lack of interest in learning how to swim. They figured Id pick up the skill when I wanted, and if that day never came, Id at least be wise enough to avoid the deep end and save myself from drowning.Or, despite my declining their offer to enroll me in swim lessons, they accepted my choice because they knew 70 percent of black children also lacked the skill. So while not ideal, there were far worse and unflattering statistics for me to bear.And I agreed, until about 10 years ago. You see, only being able to dip my toes in the water while traveling to the beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro and to the coast of South Africa made me acutely aware of how I had limited myself. How, as an upwardly-mobile 20-something, I was perpetuating the societal stereotype that black people dont swim.The origins and reasons behind many black people not being proficient swimmers is quite?complex, tracing back to the reconstruction era. But for black women its been most commonly deduced to a seemingly trivial and superficial reason -- our hair. Theres a prevailing generalization that black women are less inclined to take a dip because of the time and effort required to tame our manes post-swim. Prior to the recent popularity of black women transitioning to chemical-free or natural hairstyles, European beauty standards of adopting long straight hair were projected upon us. Therefore, those who relied on chemical relaxers or heat-based tools to maintain their straight tresses were more susceptible to chlorine damage. Over time, women of color would suffer split ends, breakage and hair shedding.I transitioned to natural hair about 10 years ago, freeing myself of this suppressive mindset, but it took me another 10 years to find true freedom in the water.Ushered in with the natural hair movement has been a modern resurgence of self-love (which we originally saw in 1960s, and the popularization of the afro) and pride among women of the African diaspora -- something commonly referred to as Black Girl Magic. Its an ode to the beauty and talents of the black female. Before joining Essence Magazine as the digital fashion & beauty director, Julee Wilson was the Huffington Posts senior fashion editor. While there, Wilson described #BlackGirlMagic as a term used to illustrate the universal awesomeness of black women. Its about celebrating anything we deem particularly dope, inspiring, or mind-blowing about ourselves.Through this term, black women have boldly declared to love who they are -- utterly and completely.This summer, #BlackGirlMagic was on full display at the Rio Olympics. From gymnast Simone Biles to the USA womens track and field team, women of color absolutely dominated the competition.But it was the #BlackGirlMagic moment of swimmer Simone Manuels historic gold-medal win in the 100-meter freestyle event that forever changed my life. In under 60 seconds, 52.70 to be exact, Manuels Olympic record-setting finish single-handedly transformed the perception and futures of American black girls everywhere. Not only do black girls swim, but we are also the best in the world.Immediately following Manuels victory, the hashtag #BlackGirlsSwim spread like wildfire, trending on every major social media platform as proud black people honored Manuels accomplishment. Then, Manuels post-swim interview and her words, This medal is not just for me, its for a whole bunch of people who have [come] before me and who have been an inspiration for me ...?And its for all the people after me, who believe they cant do it ... And I just want to be an inspiration to others -- that you?can?do it, hit me like a ton of bricks.Overcome with emotion, in that exact moment I decided enough was enough. It was no longer acceptable for me to contribute to the 70 percent and willfully perpetuate the harmful, disempowering misrepresentation of my people. I was going to join the myth-busting group of magical black women who validate #BlackGirlsSwim.It took me some time to honor my commitment, but two months ago I marched into my local Harlem YMCA and signed up for classes. Four days later, I showed up to class, a bit nervous but also eager about what was to come. Imagining myself insouciantly jumping off of boats and into oceans was truly exciting. And I didnt let hair, social stigmas or anything else hold me back.And six weeks later, mission accomplished. I jumped into the deep end of the pool, unassisted and uninhibited for the first time. The act of freely jumping into the water was rewarding because it marked the successful end to a long personal journey of self-actualization. But more than that, it symbolized the relinquishment of the burdensome past of my ancestors, and our resilience to rewrite history.Honestly, if Manuel hadnt won gold or competed in the Olympics, I cant confidently say that I would have committed to learning how to swim. But because of her, I did.My final swim lesson was Wednesday.

NEW YORK -- Slumping outfielder Jay Bruce is out of the New York Mets starting lineup for the second straight game. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Michael-Johnson-Jersey/ .Acquired by the Mets from Cincinnati at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, Bruce is hitting .181 with four homers and 11 RBI in 38 games with New York.We just told Jay yesterday, look, were going to get you out of here. Just back off for a couple of days, catch your break and get back in there, manager Terry Collins said before Monday nights game against Atlanta.Collins compared the respite to his late-July decision to give a few days off to second baseman Neil Walker, who was in a 9-for-58 (.155) slide. Walker rebounded to hit .426 (40 for 94) over the next month before a back injury that required season-ending surgery.Collins also said left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug. 14 because of shoulder tightness, may throw a Wednesday bullpen session in New York rather than at the teams spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.Matz could rejoin the rotation for Sundays game against Philadelphia, the Mets home finale. He would be limited to 40-50 pitches.Hes not ready to go real far, so we need to make sure were not just taking a short in the dark here and starting a guy that we can get only get two innings out of, Collins said.Matz would follow Noah Syndergaard, who is lined up to pitch Saturday and Sept. 30 at Philadelphia, which would line him up to start the NL wild-card game on Oct. 5 with normal four days rest. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Andrew-Billings-Jersey/ .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Brandon-Lafell-Jersey/ .C.

Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Jeremy-Hill-Jersey/ . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox are 16-15 in one-run games this season, but John Farrell wants to see more like the 2-1 victory his team pulled out over the Rays on Tuesday.When you have to execute from the mound and defensively, late in games, with minimal margin for error, I think these are very good tests for us as we get this portion of the schedule, particularly on the road, Farrell said. To come through as we have defensively, thats the key.Boston (71-54) has won 10 of 12 -- including three one-run wins -- and will hope to continue that momentum in the third game of a four-games series at the Rays on Wednesday. The pitching matchup suggests it might not end up that close after all.The Red Sox will start RHP Rick Porcello (17-3, 3.22 ERA), who is not only tied for the major league lead with 17 wins, but is coming in hotter than that. Boston has won 11 of his last 12 starts, and in his last five hes 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA with 29 strikeouts and only four walks.Whats more, hes owned the Rays this season, going 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against Tampa Bay, striking out 22 and walking four.Thats a stark contrast to Rays starter Matt Andriese, who has struggled since rejoining the Tampa Bay rotation after the trade deadline. The Rays have lost all four game hes started, and hes seen his ERA swell from 2.75 to 3.66 during that span.Andriese opened the season 6-0 and pitched well when he was shifted to the bullpen, but hasnt regained his oold form as a starter. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Cedric-Peerman-Jersey/. Hes stretched himself out to 96 pitches in his last outing but that hasnt translated to more than 5 1/3 innings in any of his starts.The silver lining is that hes pitched well against Boston. He hasnt allowed a run in 9 2/3 innings covering three appearances, including a six-inning gem last year in his only start against the Red Sox in which he allowed one baserunner in a victory.The Rays are 30-5 this season when holding opponents to two runs or fewer after Tuesdays setback, with starter Chris Archer lamenting that every nights not going to be a flawless outing after earning his major league leading 17th loss of the season.The margin for error in a one-run game is so little, as Kevin Kiermaier learned when he was thrown out at third trying to make a double a triple with one out n the eighth inning. Instead of the tying run in scoring position, he was out and the Rays wouldnt get closer than first base the rest of the night.Just kind of in shock over there at third base, how I got thrown out, Kiermaier said of Mookie Betts assist from deep right field. I watched the video after the game, and saw he made an absolutely perfect throw. I always want to put pressure on defense, and its going to take a perfect throw to throw me out. I would not change anything. Id do it again. I tip my hat to him.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Florida led by 12 points entering the fourth quarter when Arizona State came alive and outscored the Gators by 18 and earned a 69-63 win in the Arizona State Classic title game played Sunday at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe.Entering the deciding fourth quarter, the Sun Devils had shot a mere 26.4 percent (14-53) from the floor. During the final 10 minutes, ASU converted 13-of-14 from the floor (92.9 percent), held UF to 35.3 percent (6-17) and outrebounded the Gators, 10-5.With Florida leading 57-50 and five minutes to play, the Sun Devils ended the game with a 19-6 run.The Gators frontcourt struggled with foul trouble all game long, as their three primary posts each had two personals less than 13 minutes into the game. That eventually caught up with their paint defense in the fourth quarter when the Sun Devils had their way inside.Sophomore Eleanna Christinaki and freshman Sydney Searcy were the only Gators to score in double-figures with 18 and 11, respectively. For Searcy, who hit all four of her field goal attempts, it was a career-best output.How it Happened With the game tied at halftime, Florida outscored ASU, 21-9, in the third quarter by converting 57.1 percent (8-14) of its shots and seemed to have the momentum, as the hosts managed to shoot just 13.3 percent (2-15).The Sun Devils began the crucial fourth quarter scoring the first seven points and were within five points with 8:14 remaining. The team traded scores for the next three-plus minutes before Arizona State made its final game-ended run to capture its home tournament title.Updated Team Records:Florida: 6-2Arizona State: 5-2National Rankings:Florida: No. 19 Associated Press; No. 23 USA Today/WBCAArizona State: receiving votes in AP; No. 24 USA Today/WBCADouble-Digit GatorsChristinakis 18 points were a game-high and her 24th career double-figure scoring gameSearcys 11 points were two more than her previous career-best number for the first double-figure scoring game of her young careerIndividual Numbers of NoteJunior Haley Lorenzen topped the 600-point plateau during the game.Lorenzen just missed the first double-double of her career with nine points and a season-high nine rebounds.Junior Dyandria Anderson scored her 250th career point and dished her 100th career assist during the game.Ronni Williams, who scored eight points with six reboounds, four assists and three steals on Sunday, was named to the Arizona State Classic All-Tournament Team.

We didnt do a very good job of defending the low block and I dont mean thats one persons responsibility. Theres no way the ball is supposed to go directly into the low block so we got caught behind a lot. We didnt do a very good job of transitioning back into our zone. Our guards started getting a little bit tired and jogging. Arizona State is a good team and they made us pay when we took plays off.This was a great test of our toughness. Thats what we talked about at halftime. I think we came out in the third quarter and showed how tough we are and then we just werent able to sustain it.It (this tournament) was a challenge and thats something we have to get better at - playing with more discipline and making good decisions.We got beat by a good team. This is a top-25 program. This is a chance for us to grow.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- American Marti Malloy suffered an early-round upset in the womens 57-kilogram class Monday, ending her dreams of medaling in judo for the second consecutive Olympics.Malloy fell to Lien Chen-Ling of Taiwan in a hard-fought, probing match that was decided by shido -- the tiebreaker that factors in minor penalties and periods of nonaggression.I felt like the fight started off really well, said Malloy, tearful once the match was over. I was getting good grips and more attacks off than her. I know that I did one attack that was kind of questionable, but I didnt think it deserved a penalty. I feel like I pushed the pace more than her, and I thought she would possibly get another penalty, too, to tie it up. Instead, I got one.After winning bronze in London and continuing her rise through the 57-kilogram world rankings, Malloy was one of the favorites for a medal. I imagined myself taking nothing but gold up until now, she said. I never imagined anything but gold. But thats a dangerous thing to do because if you dont imagine any other outcome, when that outcome happens...She didnt need to say more. The disappointment was obvious as she wiped tears from her eyes while leaving the press area.Chen-Ling hadnt been considered a favorite, but she continued winning after beating the third-seeded Malloy, who had a first-round bye, in the round of 16. Chen-Ling ended up fighting for a bronze medal but lost to Japans Kaori Matsumoto.Watching Malloys match from the second-level stands at the Carioca Arena was her 96-year-old mentor, Yoshihiro Uchida, who arrived in Rio early Monday morning, just hours before the competition began. Uchida left for Rio from San Franciscco on Saturday morning. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-Franco-Harris-Jersey/. Flight delays and missed connections turned his journey into a 48-hour haul.Marti didnt look right, said Uchida, offering a straightforward assessment of the match while also underscoring how proud he is of his 30-year-old student. She was not precise like the other times she would be behind [and] her tactics were real precise and she would catch up.Uchida smiled and said he would like to try to make it to the Tokyo Summer Games in 2020, when he would be 100 years old. Tokyo has special significance for Uchida. His parents were born in Japan, and Uchida was the U.S. coach at the 1964 Olympic Games. He also helped judo become an Olympic sport that year.After the loss, Malloy said she plans to continue competing for another year, taking her through the 2017 world championships in Budapest, Hungary, but wouldnt commit beyond that. But Uchida held out hope that shed make it to Tokyo, with or without him.I am sure she will be there, he said. He had yet to speak privately with Malloy and offer encouragement, but he was looking forward to it. I will just hug her and say, Marti, I hope you got all of your tears out now so we can sit down and talk and see what the future looks like.Later Monday, Brazils Rafaela Silva provided one of Rios peak emotional moments when she dominated Sumiya Dorjsuren of Mongolia to win the host countrys first gold medal. Silvas victory sparked a raucous celebration inside the arena -- fans cheering, singing and stomping as she joyfully leaped into the stands and the arms of supporters.

ATHENS, Ga. Wade Davis Jersey . -- Georgia Tech wanted to throw a pass to its quarterback.When it was clear that wouldnt work, Qua Searcy decided to improvise.The result: a soaring touchdown run with 30 seconds remaining that gave Georgia Tech a stunning 28-27 victory over Georgia on Saturday.Searcys 6-yard TD off a busted play capped a fourth-quarter comeback that sent the Yellow Jackets (8-4) into a joyous celebration before a mostly stunned crowd between the hedges.The white-clad players stormed the field, defiantly planting their gold flag in the G in the middle of the field -- a bit of payback for Georgia doing the same thing at Georgia Techs stadium a year ago.Not bad for a bunch of 80th-ranked recruiting classes, coach Paul Johnson said. Im proud of our kids. They fought back.The Bulldogs (7-5) built a 27-14 lead and appeared to be in total control after stopping Georgia Tech on a fourth-down play near midfield with just under 12 minutes to go.But the Yellow Jackets put together a 94-yard scoring drive to make a game of it, and then came up with a huge turnover when it looked like Georgia was set to ice the victory. Jacob Eason threw an errant pass in the flat that deflected off Terry Godwin and was intercepted by Lance Austin at the Bulldogs 46 with 3:39 remaining.The triple-option offense took it from there. Justin Thomas completed a 16-yard pass to Clinton Lynch and Marcus Marshall ripped off a 13-yard run before the Yellow Jackets faced third-and-goal at the Georgia 6.Thomas pitched the ball to Searcy, who wanted to throw the ball back across the field to his quarterback drifting into the left flat. But the Bulldogs had Thomas covered, so Searcy took off through an opening up the middle, soared through the air at the 3 with the ball outstretched in front of him, and managed to just get it over the goal line.It was just like a split-second decision, Searcy said. I really was about to throw the ball, but I saw like five defenders go toward (Thomas) and nobody really was in the middle. I think I dove from like the 3, but I knew I had to go airborne.Georgia coach Kirby Smart said his defense had been preparing for the play all week.I was shocked, he said. We covered it ... really well. But a breakdown on the inside. We didnt get the guy on the ground. People probably overplayed the play. Everybody wanted to stop Justin, and the guy ran it in.Harrison Butkers extra point gave Georgia Tech its second straight victory at Sanford Stadium, ruining a career-best 170 yards rushing by Georgias Sony Michel.While the visiting team celebrated, Bulldogs lineman Greg Pyke slung his helmet across the field in frustration.That was indicative of our season, Smart said. A little good, a little bad, a lack of consistency. Youve got to play 60 minutes. We didnt play 60 minutes.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia Tech: The victory is a huge boost for Johnson, who has now beaten Georgia two of the last three years. His future is sure to be one of the first things that new athletic director Todd Stansbury addresses when he takes over Monday. While there is plenty of debate about whether the triple-option offense has run its course in Atlanta, with some fans clamoring for a more traditional formation, Johnson turned things around after going 3-9 last season.Georgia: Smart endured plenty of ups and downs in his first season as a head coach, and this was quite a bummer to finish off the regular season. While Eason and a promising young defense raise hopes heading into 2017, a loss to the Yellow Jackets is no way to build good feelings among the Georgia fan base. Its worth noting that previous coach Mark Richt lost to Georgia Tech only twice in 15 years. Smart is halfway to that total after his debut year.JUSTINS LEGACYThomas became the first Georgia Tech quarterback to beat Georgia twice in his career since Joe Hamilton in 1998-99.Being able to go down as one of those quarterbacks is a great feeling, especially going out as a senior, said Thomas, who completed 6 of 10 passes for 164 yards as the run-oriented Yellow Jackets actually outgained Georgia through the air.UP NEXTGeorgia Tech: After missing out on a bowl last season, the Yellow Jackets have been mentioned as a candidate for the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland.Georgia: The Bulldogs are possibly headed to the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

CHARLOTTE, N. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Kevin-Johnson-Jersey/ .C. -- Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly has been placed in the NFLs concussion protocol and his status for the teams Nov. 27 game against Oakland is uncertain.Coach Ron Rivera updated Kuechlys status on Friday and said that the linebacker has no other known injuries.The 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year was carted off the field in an emotional moment during the fourth quarter of Carolinas 23-20 win over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Kuechly appeared to be gasping for breath as he was helped to the cart, and tears rolled down his face. Players from both sides came over to offer their well wishes to Kuechly.Kuechly spent 34 days last season in the concussion protocol and missed three games.Rivera described Kuechlys second known career concussion concerning, but quickly added I dont want to get into the speculation of all of that. Im not the expert.On Friday, Kuechlys teammate and good friend Thomas Davis posted a picture on his Instagram of a smiling Kuechly giving the thumbs-up sign and wrote Luke wanted me to let you guys know that hes doing fine and thanks for your prayers!!There has been a tremendous outpouring of support for Kuechly in the Charlotte community, where he is immensely popular, as well as around the country.NBA two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who grew up in Charlotte and is a longtime Panthers fan, posted on Twitter Keep your head up (hash)59! Nobody plays the game harder than you my man. Heal up Quick! (hash)KeepPounding.Heres a guy thats a warrior and he loves the game, Rivera said. It was an emotional time for his teammates because his teammates know how important he is. Hes a very important player for us, as are all of our players. I appreciate the outpouring (of support), I really do. He means a lot to organization and this community as well. I get that part.Kuechly was injured with 4:41 left in the fourth quarter when he collided with Saints running back Tim Hightower.The five-year NFL veterans left leg appeared to awkwardly buckle just before he hit Hightower. At that point Hightowers helmet hit Kuechly under the facemask and in the upper region of his chest.Kuechly remained on the field for several minutes, sprawled out on his back. He eventually sat up and when he did he had tears in his eyes and was gasping for breath.Kuechly is the seventh Panthers player to enter the teams concussion protocol since the beginning of the season.

RENTON, Wash. Zach Duke Jersey . -- When Marshawn Lynch posted that photo of his cleats hanging from a wire, the Seattle Seahawks task became about more than finding a replacement for the yards and touchdowns he provided over the course of six seasons.Along with Lynchs retirement came the challenge of trying to replace what he meant to the Seahawks in terms of style and attitude.Were not going to be able to replace him. Point blank, wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. Not his personality, his attitude, his leadership in the locker room and on the field. Were not going to be able to replace that.Lynch was not an ordinary running back. He was attitude in green cleats. The Seattle swagger that led to two Super Bowl trips was amplified by the likes of Richard Sherman and Baldwin, but it was first created by Lynch when he arrived via trade early in the 2010 season.Now the Seahawks go into a season for the first time during their rise to prominence without Lynch on the roster. It may seem a minuscule worry with all the other challenges the Seahawks face, but there is a lingering question about whether Seattle needs to replace the personality Lynch provided.Who he was in the locker room, its people like him that gel the team together. He was glue. He didnt speak out, he wasnt the guy to get in front and do rah-rah speeches but the few times he did, everyone shut ... up and listened because it was Marshawn Lynch, Baldwin said. To that degree it is what it is. He wasnt the rah-rah leader, he wasnt always saying stuff but when he spoke it meant volumes. We dont really have a guy like that who commands the respect and attention at that level. There are only a handful of guys in the league who do anyway. We have the leaders like Richard Sherman, like Russell Wilson that can still carry that weight across the team.The process of finding Lynchs replacement begins Saturday when the Seahawks face Kansas City in their preseason opener. The expectation is that Thomas Rawls will be Lynchs heir based on his performance last season as Lynchs backup.Rawls rushed for 830 yards and four touchdowns, and averaged 5.6 yards per carry last season, but suffered a serious ankle injury in December against Baltimore that required surgery and a lengthy rehab. Rawls was only activated from the physically unable to perform list earlier this week and may not even see the field during the preseason.So while Rawls seems the likely replacement, there are questions surrounding his health, leaving the likes of Alex Collins, Christine Michael, Zac Brooks and others to spend the next four weeks trying to take advantage of the opportunity.They all seem to know what being a running back for Seattle entails.Id say definitely toughness. Our (running backs) coach (Sherman Smith) likes to look at it as we set the tone and the tempo for the team. Everyone feeds off the running backs, Collins said. Weve got to run down the field and get the defense chasing. You know, we set the tone so I embrace that and our group embraces that. Thats just what we try to do every day.Seattle got a taste of life without Lynch last season when he missed nine games due to hamstring and abdominal injuries. He rehabilitated away from the team for the latter of the two injuries, spending the final weeks of the regular season mostly absent from the teams facility.During that period, the Seattle offense became even more about Wilson. That evolution will continue this season because no one can completely replace Lynch.Our style is who we are. Marshawn just took that to a whole other level, offensive line coach Tom Cable said. What you hope is Thomas (Rawls) and Christine (Michael) and C.J. (Prosise) and Alex (Collins), all these kids can find their niche in it or their role in it or their style in it if you will. But our style is what we have here, what coach has laid out, and finding the runner that can lift that up. Thats certainly what Marshawn did.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Eddie Rosario Jersey .
