PRO BASKETBALLOAKLAND, Calif. -- David West is disgusted with the choice of Donald Trump for president.The guy who got elected, its not just the fact he got elected but people voted for him, West said after shootaround. Thats the disheartening thing. I just think a lot of the things he was saying publicly, the majority of this country feels privately. They proved that through their vote. ... He got the platform.The Golden State Warriors met to discuss Trumps win over Hillary Clinton. Coach Steve Kerr expressed disappointment in the result and the discourse in the election, saying Trump regularly used racist, misogynist, insulting words more appropriate for The Jerry Springer Show than a presidential election.The whole process has left all of us feeling disgusted and disappointed, Kerr said. I thought we were better than this.Clippers coach Doc Rivers, meanwhile, struck a reassuring tone.Were all going to be OK everyone, he said before the Clippers hosted Portland. Donald Trump is going to be president and thats something I never thought Id have to say. I believe overall America works.CLEVELAND -- LeBron James and his Cavaliers teammates will be at the White House on Thursday.An unexpected guest will be there, too.The visit by the reigning NBA champions will coincide with President-elect Donald Trumps meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the handover of power and transition following a shocking election that left James -- and millions of Americans -- wondering about the future.Gov. John Kasich, a onetime Republican presidential rival who refused to endorse Trump and boycotted the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, also was to visit the White House on Thursday.James had supported Trumps Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, appearing on stage with the former secretary of state at a campaign rally Sunday to urge Cleveland residents to vote.PRO FOOTBALLSAN DIEGO -- Voters overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have raised $1.15 billion from increased hotel occupancy taxes to help pay for a new stadium for the San Diego Chargers.Measure C, which was written by the Chargers without input from City Hall, the powerful tourism industry or other stakeholders, was defeated 57 percent to 43 percent. It needed 66.7 percent to pass.Team chairman Dean Spanos, whose attempt to move the Chargers to the Los Angeles suburb of Carson angered fans and was rebuffed by fellow NFL owners in January, said in a statement Wednesday that he will consider his options. He said a decision wont be announced until after the season and no decision will be made in haste.Measure C would have increased the hotel tax to help pay for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center annex in the southeast corner of downtown near Petco Park, the home of MLBs Padres. The Chargers have been trying since 2000 to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.COLLEGE FOOTBALLMADISON, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin will prohibit nooses and ropes from home athletic events as part of revised standards being put in place after a fan wore an offensive costume to a football game.The school said in a statement that nooses and ropes will be treated as weapons that constitute a threat to safety.The fan behavior, carry-in and ticket policies were revised to read, in part, that Any person who engages in violent, threatening, abusive or otherwise disorderly conduct which tends to provoke a disturbance or incite violence will be ejected from our events.A fan wore what appeared to be a President Barack Obama mask with a noose around its neck to the Badgers game on Oct. 29 against Nebraska.

The players association made the decision after Horowitz ruled against it in an injury assignment case involving Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Charlie Culberson.The players association declined comment, spokesman Greg Bouris said.Horowitz, 68, started as baseballs neutral arbitrator in June 2012. He replaced Shyam Das, who had held the position since 1999 but was fired by management following his decision to overturn Ryan Brauns 50-game suspension for a positive drug test.In Horowitzs most notable decision, he reduced Alex Rodriguezs 211-game suspension to 162 games, a penalty imposed for violations of baseballs drug agreement and labor contract.OLYMPICSLAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Donald Trumps election as U.S. president has the potential to influence Los Angeles chances of hosting the 2024 Olympics. For better or worse.Some International Olympic Committee members -- who will choose among Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest, Hungary, in a vote next September -- cited possible pros and cons of Trumps role in the American bid.As a polarizing presidential candidate, Trumps words on Muslims, Mexicans and other issues could have offended some of the 98 IOC members from around the world who will select the host city.It may have, the IOCs longest-serving member, Dick Pound of Canada, told The Associated Press.At the same time, Pound did not rule out the possibility that Trump could help win votes if he travels to Lima, Peru, in September to pitch the Los Angeles bid in person to the IOC ahead of the secret ballot. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/jurrell-casey-jersey/ .

Ford has been Eddie Jones first-choice fly-half for his six Tests as head coach, but the 23-year-old performed poorly with the boot during Englands 27-13 win over Wales, missing six of his seven attempts at goal. The Bath No 10 faced booing and ironic cheers from the Twickenham crowd when he managed to convert Jack Cliffords try just after half-time, resulting in calls for him to be replaced by Owen Farrell.Jones has used Farrell at inside centre and Greenwood believes the Australian will remain loyal to the side that secured Englands first Grand Slam title since 2003.I think George Ford will still be in pole position in terms of Eddie Jones, Greenwood told Sky Sports News HQ.I am a big fan of George Ford, the crowd of course will look to his kicking stats - but dont worry about them. Farrell will step up and nail five out of six, but Jones is trying to find that balance and fluidity to his backline that is not quite there. Luther Burrell is getting back to his best Although they scored five tries against Wales, it was a bit clunky and needs a bit of WD40. If Jones does not go with Ford, then he will have Farrell at No 10 and move Luther Burrell straight into the inside centre slot.But I dont envisage many changes - Jones is not afraid of pulling rabbits out of hats but he is enormously loyal to the players who do him proud and pull off the big wins. Englands new coach Glen Ella is impressed with the team as they prepare for the tour of Australia You suspect that the team that won the Grand Slam in Paris may just get first dibs in Brisbane against those pesky Australians.Confidence boostGreenwood believes England will be the most confident side out of the three home nations heading to the southern hemisphere this summer with Wales travelling to New Zealand and Ireland to South Africa. Its a massive Saturday for most of the home nations sides, said Greenwood.First up we will be in Auckland - I will have Sean Fitzpatrick on one side and Scott Quinnell on the other and Wales will be trying to do something that they have never ever done before - which is win in new Zealand. Wales have only beaten New Zealand once and that was way bback in 1953.dddddddddddd.Straight after that, we head over to Brisbane where we could see another first. England may have won in Australia before but never in Brisbane - their record is played four and lost four. Then in the afternoon, Ireland take on South Africa.Go back five or six months to the World Cup where New Zealand won it, Australia came second and South Africa came third so it is an enormous challenge. In the meantime, they have had a long break while the home nations have fought and scrapped amongst themselves to be top dog. England came out on top and are Grand Slam champions but the acid test, the barometer of how far all these sides have come comes on Saturday.He added: England are probably the most confident of all three heading to Australia.Wallaby coach Michael Cheika has not called upon the likes of Matt Giteau, Dre Mitchell, Matt Toomua and Adam Ashley Cooper. So four to five of their World Cup final back-line are not available.I would not say that an unbeaten England under Eddie Jones tenure will be over confident, but they will be confident starting the series well at an amazing stadium.Building momentum Highlights of Englands 27-13 win over Wales at Twickenham Jones has admitted Englands hopes of completing a series victory over Australia hinge on the outcome of that first Test at the Suncorp Stadium, and Greenwood agrees.If you go 1-0 down, you can still come back and win the series but its like Andy Murray going down to Novak Djokovic at the French Open - once you go down two sets to one, then you know you have to win the next two against a guy who hardly loses one set, never mind two.Australia very rarely lose two Tests on the spin at home so if you lose the first Test, then you are snookered a fraction. If you get off to a good start, then you are in good shape to go on and nail the series.It should be a cracking series and a good chance to see if the gaping chasm between the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere has got bigger, or are we a little bit closer.Watch New Zealand v Wales, 8am, Sat, Sky Sports 1 HD followed by Australia v England, 11am, Sat, Sky Sports 1 HD and South Africa v Ireland 3.30pm, Sat, Sky Sports 1 HD.
