The incident drew nationalrewato attention and it rolled right into our area rlaolst nightht adding a bigger spotlight to the washington spiritseattlese rain game. Am but the washington spirite wagtn putting a stop to rapinoesinoe plans to sit out the National Anthem. Them heres rapinoe during pregameg p warmups getting ready for thengr match. The match itself againstelf ast seattle delayed by the rain. Ai while the teams were in the locker room, team owner bill b lynch directed the anthem ant ceremony to go on earlier than planned. Plan no protest by rapinoe, no oneo stands. Now last night the owner released a statement to fox5 tof and heres what it said sayingdn in part in light of rapinoes public declaration that she intended to take a knee during u. S. National anthem tonighthemt we decided to play the an themte in our stadium ahead ofad of schedule rather than subject fr fans and friends to thefansd disrespect we feel such an act a would represent. Re he goes on to say to willingly l allow anyone to highjack this tradition that means so much to millions of americans and so many of our fans for any cause would effectively beffectb just as disrespectful as doings it ourselves. It olves now rapinoe told a Washington Post that the anthem move was incredibly distasteful fourissf days before one of the worst thr tragedies in our country toount say i tried to highjack this event. En she also says she was saddened e by the teams decision.

Are they commenting throwhey on moving the anthem off tocohet when the players arent on the fields or their decision. This is the problem with this whole thing.

Ast. Back to you steve and allison. 7 18. Ceo tim cook said that the t new iphone7 is the best bt iphone apple has created. Ed. The best ever. The iphone7 and seven pluseven p will be released onn sept available for he preorderse forr starting tomorrow. Ngomorrow. So what makes this phone the best ever holly is here tovey tell us or convince us toes spend i mean like 800 if youre buying it out oft pocket. Its a lot of money but okay lets first say this. Thi every new one is going to be t b the best ever, right causeht its the latest one. Ne better be. Ter b heres my take on it. Ermy t i think that if youre in theint market for a new phone, youho, might want to consider it. I if youre happy with yourh yr current phone, its probablys o not a game changer to make you y buy a new one. Nonetheless, there are quite a e few things about this new iphone that make it way different than the last t las several models. Od first and foremost and i think i its huge its water and dust as resistant and the seven plus features two cameras. Apple also has got 10 rid of 10 the iphones head jack and headphone jack i should say and replaced h them with wireless ear buds. Theyre calling those ear pods. They correct directly to thehe phone. Phone. Now the air pods will cost you about 159. T those will be released month. But if youre a fan of your you headphones, theres no need tost worry. Both phones will come withe with brand new lightning adapter headphones and even an adapter that allows you to use your y old headphones. Old hea you just wont be able to to charge your phone and use your u headphones at the same time. Thats the key there. So just whatph do apple aficionados really think. That means i have to buy an extra
