ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall is still standing up for his right to kneel during the national anthem, but his decision continues to hit him financially.Marshall, who knelt during The Star-Spangled Banner in Thursday nights season opener against the Carolina Panthers, said following Broncos practice Monday that he recently lost his second endorsement deal since he took a knee.The Air Academy Federal Credit Union parted ways with him shortly after Thursdays game, and on Monday, Marshall said CenturyLink, a cable/communications company, has ended its agreement with him.Marshall said he had been signed on to promote the companys television and internet service.I just lost another endorsement, Marshall said. But its not going to make me lose any sleep. ... I understand there will be things that come up, criticism and support. I just have to do what I think is right.CenturyLink released a statement saying the company completely [respects] Brandon Marshalls personal decision and right to take an action to support something in which he strongly believes.America is anchored in the right of individuals to express their beliefs. While we acknowledge Brandons right, we also believe that whatever issues we face, we also occasionally must stand together to show our allegiance to our common bond as a nation. In our view, the national anthem is one of those moments. For this reason, while we wish Brandon the best this season, we are politely terminating our agreement with him.Marshall also said he will meet with Denver police chief Robert C. White on Tuesday and with members of Denvers police union, the Denver Police Protective Association.Marshall said he has heard from plenty of folks on both sides of what is now a national debate, and hes trying to start a conversation ... based on social awareness.He said he continues to receives messages of support and criticism for his actions and that he absolutely understands the passion of those who have either criticized him or supported him in recent days.Marshall said he continues to monitor social media to see how people are reacting.Absolutely, a lot of it is military based because I read a lot of the comments that say, stay up for the people that fought for your right to stand, but then the people that I talk to that are in the military say, I fought for your right to stand or sit, I fought for all your rights, so I support you, Marshall said. Everybody doesnt believe that, but some people who actually serve this country do believe that.On the prospect of some teammates opting to kneel during the anthem in future games, Marshall said: Its cool if they do, I respect them for that, and its cool if they dont. I respect that.Marshall and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was the first player in the league to sit during the national anthem this season, were teammates at the University of Nevada.I talked to Colin Kaepernick and he said that he appreciated what I did, Marshall said. ... He said he was trying to get some things in place that would change some laws ... donating to organizations doing work at the ground level. One of my endgames [is] I will try to create a program that goes with that as well. Discount Air Max .

Conte was named as Blues manager from next season on Monday, replacing interim Guus Hiddink was sacked in May.Chelseas form has improved since Jose Mourinhos departure, but the champions still sit 10 points off fourth place with just seven games remaining. Conte must first concentrate on Italy at Euro 2016 this summer Conte is currently building towards Italys Euro 2016 campaign in France, but Souness says the to-do list at Stamford Bridge will not be easy to tick off.Souness told Sky Sports: I think hes got a monster job on now, Chelsea this year have been disappointing to say the least. Will Conte fit Chelsea? With Antonio Conte taking over at Chelsea in the summer, what do we know about the Italy boss? They started as champions and never really got going. When Guus Hiddink come in you thought all their problems would be solved but they werent. Theyve been up and down all season, even with the lift a new manager gives you.I think Jose saw the writing on the wall, he knew he had been lucky to win the league last year, he must have driven them, cajoled them, bullied them, to get to that point to win it, and at the start of the season he wanted more players and better players, and for some reason he didnt get them. Chelsea are 10 points off the top four with seven games remaining That must have been the reason he fell out with whoever he ended up falling out with, and that would include the players. Looking back, Jose was right, because that group were not good enough to go and retain the title this year.Conte coming in, unless he can go out and buy some real quality, it will be another up and down season for Chelsea.dddddddddddd.

Jose Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December after a woeful start to the campaign for the champions Thats the dilemma [no Champions League], the attraction of Chelsea in recent years can be put to two main reasons, the wages plus the attraction of the Champions League. So there is no quick fix to Chelsea.Hes a different voice, has different thoughts. Does he have a magic wand? No coach has a magic wand, its all about players. Roman Abramovich (left) must back Conte substantially if Chelsea are to succeed next season, says Souness He has a hard job on his hands, so will need a lot of support from the owner, will have to buy well, and then Chelsea will be challenging again.Theyve still got the nucleus of a really good team, but the fact they really couldnt get going again when they replaced the so-called problem with Jose falling out with people, they didnt really go on from there.
