KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One of the big knocks on cornerback Marcus Peters when he entered the NFL draft two years ago was that he carried a lot of unwelcome baggage from his time at Washington.He got into fights with assistant coaches. He boiled over during games. He ultimately got kicked out of the Huskies program when coach Chris Petersen decided he had seen enough.In short, many believed Peters was juvenile and selfish.That may be what made his protest of social injustice during the national anthem for the Kansas City Chiefs season opener last weekend even more surprising.It was Peters who locked arms with his team in a sign of unity, then raised his gloved right fist for all to see.Its not about attention for me, he said after the game. Im more so, `Dont talk about it, be about it. I come from a majority black community from Oakland, California.Ive grown up around my people a lot. I still have family that struggles. Im not saying one thing or another, but we need to educate youth coming up. If we keep educating them, well eliminate these problems.That doesnt exactly sound like someone who is juvenile and selfish.Sounds more like someone who has grown up.Peters still harbors a hot streak, as evidenced by the jawing match he got into with Chargers wide receivers, but he has also learned to control his emotions between the white lines.That has made him one of the leagues premier defenders.He had trouble keeping up with San Diego star Keenan Allen in the first half, but buckled down once Allen left with an injury and had a solid second half. He was a big reason why the Chiefs rallied to the biggest comeback in franchise history in a 33-27 overtime victory.That after starting all 16 games as a rookie last season, picking off eight passes and returning two of them for touchdowns. Those efforts even earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl.It also earned him a unique leadership role as a second-year player in a youthful secondary.My leadership role is, you just got to go out there and work as hard as you can to make those plays, and the rest will take care of itself, he said. We got a team full of leaders. Like I said, last year it makes my job that much easier if I dont have to do too much -- just play ball.Peters isnt just playing ball, though. By taking a stance alongside 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and many other professional athletes, Peters is thrusting himself squarely into the middle of a discussion that has captivated America.He also knows raising awareness is one thing, and that objective has largely been accomplished. The crucial next step is taking that awareness and using it to produce positive change.Were trying to help this cause as a team, Peter said. Everybody is going to play their part and were going to ... work together to help improve the justice system in Kansas City and around the world.Exactly what that looks like remains to be seen. Perhaps it is meeting with local law enforcement or spending more time in the community. Education is a big part of it, Peters said, and getting positive messages to impressionable youth could make a difference.One thing is clear: He has plenty of support in his locker room.Some guys wanted to link arms; some wanted to have their hand over the heart at the same time. We just wanted everyone to be able to express themselves however they wanted, wide receiver Chris Conley said, but we also wanted to be unified as a team while drawing attention to the issue.The cool thing about the meeting we had was this isnt the only thing were going to do. Were not just going to link arms before games, Conley continued. Were going to do hands-on activities with the community to reach out and try to improve relations.Asked what that might include, Conley said: Weve talked about meeting with police, first responders and people within the community to help mend relationships between residents and the police.The Chiefs have been supportive of the players stance, and coach Andy Reid praised the way Peters went about things, pointing out that this kid does a phenomenal job in the community.Theres no question hes all in, Reid said. Theres no question he respects whatever -- law enforcement, military -- you dont have to question that with his guy. He just wants whats right, like we all do. I think thats the important thing. What the players are doing right now is important. Lets just all get along and that would be a beautiful thing.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Chaussure Ecco Pour Homme Johannesburg Perf Slip On 623584-01014 Vison .ca!

CHICAGO -- Corey Crawford was perfect when needed, and the Chicago Blackhawks finally came through with a complete effort.Crawford made 32 saves, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa each had a power-play goal and Chicago beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Sunday night.?All areas of our game were solid, coach Joel Quenneville said. I thought we had a real good rotation of our lines, had the D moving and skating, and had the puck way more.Much better and more representative of how we need to play.Artem Anisimov also scored to extend his career-best point streak to seven games. He has six goals and five assists during the run.Toews got his first goal of the season after having just three assists in the Blackhawks first eight games.I still feel like around the net I need a few bounces, and finally got one tonight, Toews said. Whenever you get that result, it gives you confidence.Hossa scored into an empty net with 1:10 remaining.The Blackhawks jumped to a 2-0 lead, and then managed it well to improve to 3-0-1 in their last four.Chicago also killed both of Los Angeles power plays and for the first time in nine games didnt allow a power-play goal. For the season, the Blackhawks have allowed a league-worst 15 goals in 32 times short-handed.Theyve killed five straight, dating to a 3-2 overtime win at New Jersey on Friday.Were going to need to keep that going to get that percentage down where it needs to be, Toews said. We got those kills and when we needed him, (Crawford) was big.Crawford earned his 20th shutout, and the Kings were blanked for the second straight game. Los Angeles concluded a two-game Midwest swing after losing 1-0 in regulation at St. Louis on Saturday.That was our best game defensively, Crawford said. Were on the same page in our zone. And we were moving the puck out quick, too.Hossa was honored in a pregame ceremony for becoming the 44th player with 500 goals, a milestone he reached on Oct. 18.Los Angeles Peter Budaj madde 26 saves.ddddddddddddWeve got to find more ways to get more scoring chances off the rush, off the cycle game and get our D activated a little more as well, Los Angeles defenseman Jake Muzzin said.Kings coach Darryl Sutter remained stuck on 599 wins. Sutter launched his coaching career with the Blackhawks following eight seasons with them as a forward and ranks 14th in NHL coaching victories and fifth among active coaches.The Blackhawks had four power-play chances in the first period and Toews connected on the first one at 6:54 to give Chicago a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.Toews wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Budaj on the glove side while Kings defensemen Jake Muzzin and Tom Gilbert screened Budaj.Anisimov made it 2-0 from the left edge of the crease with 6:30 left in the second, set up after Hossa threaded a pass across the crease. Anisimov didnt quite handle the feed cleanly but controlled the puck with a quick move and chipped it over Budaj.Game notes Hossa held his daughter Zoja while being honored and got a big reaction from the crowd when the 2-year-old pinched his nose and then waved while the scoreboard camera zoomed in. ...
