NEW YORK -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell disagrees with Colin Kaepernicks choice to kneel during the national anthem, but recognizes the quarterbacks right to protest.Asked by The Associated Press about Kaepernicks decision not to stand before games when the national anthem is played, Goodell said in an email Wednesday: I dont necessarily agree with what he is doing.I support our players when they want to see change in society, and we dont live in a perfect society, Goodell added. On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL. I personally believe very strongly in that.Goodell added that NFL players have a visible platform for their viewpoints. With that comes responsibility to use those platforms properly.We have to choose respectful ways of doing that so that we can achieve the outcomes we ultimately want and do it with the values and ideals that make our country great, said Goodell, whose late father, Charles, was a U.S. senator.I think its important to have respect for our country, for our flag, for the people who make our country better; for law enforcement; and for our military who are out fighting for our freedoms and our ideals.Kaepernick wouldnt stand for the anthem at his teams preseason games, with San Francisco 49ers teammate Eric Reid and Seattles Jeremy Lane doing the same. Kaepernick has cited racial injustice and police brutality among the many reasons for his actions and said he plans to continue to not stand for the anthem during the regular season.Kaepernick said Wednesday on his Instagram account that he will donate all the money he receives from his jersey sales to charity to thank fans for their support. He said hes pleased his 49ers jersey has become the top seller in the NFL since his protest became public.The 49ers open their season at home against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.Also in reaction to Kaepernicks actions:- U.S. hockey coach John Tortorella said hed bench any player who stays seated during the national anthem. Tortorella, who will coach the United States at the upcoming World Cup of Hockey, told ESPN : If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game.Tortorella, who also coaches the Columbus Blue Jackets, talked a bit more about his view Wednesday.I feel very strongly of being able to say what you want to say in your way, about youre upset about things, he said. You have your right to do that, but to bring that flag and anthem into it and drag that down, no way. So I feel strongly both ways.Tortorellas son Nick is an Army Ranger and is deployed in the Middle East.When there are men and women that give their lives for their flag, for their anthem, have given their lives, continue to put themselves on the line with our services for our flag, for our anthem, families that have been disrupted, traumatic physical injuries, traumatic mental injuries for these people that give us the opportunity to do the things we want to do, Tortorella said. Theres no chance an anthem and a flag should come into any type of situation where youre trying to make a point.- New York Jets receiver Brandon Marshall spoke out on WFAN Radio , saying he disagreed with host Boomer Esiason, who had criticized Kaepernick.Marshall also discussed the issue a bit at practice Wednesday.Like it or not, this is a civil rights movement. Its a civil rights issue, Marshall said. Martin Luther King did an amazing job of making sure everyone was at the table. What I mean by that is, he never once went against America. He always said America was an amazing nation. Whether he believed that or not, I dont know, but I say that because if you want to get things done, you have to do it in a way where everyones at the table.- Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin said he has considered joining Lane in not standing for the anthem.`I want to make sure I get all my ducks in a row before I do so, Baldwin said.My grandfather being in the military it hit home for me as well. Its the veterans that have reached out and said thats what they fought for, thats what they sacrificed their lives for was to give people back home under the flag, under this country, the opportunity to stand up or sit for what they believe in. So that was very heartening for me to hear that.Teammate Bobby Wagner believes the Seahawks should act together because thats that the world needs to see.Anything we want to do, its not going to be individual, he added. Its going to be a team thing. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals.---AP Sports Writers Tim Booth in Renton, Washington and Dennis Waszak Jr. in Florham Park, New Jersey contributed.AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAlex Gordon Jersey .

He was happy for second baseman Dee Gordon, whod made a costly error in the prior inning that nearly cost the Marlins.Prado hit a go-ahead, two-run single during a four-run rally in the ninth inning that sent Miami over the Colorado Rockies 5-3 in a matchup of NL wild-card contenders.After a throwing error by Gordon helped the Rockies score three times in the eighth, the Marlins bounced back.To be able to come back and pick someone up -- this is why were playing a game as a team, Prado said. Thats the mentality were creating with this group of guys.Miami ended a three-game losing skid and stayed even with St. Louis for the second wild-card spot, with Colorado falling four games behind.Its fun, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. Were trying to win every day, (the Rockies) need to win every day -- were very similar clubs in my mind that were both experiencing a shot at getting in the playoffs for the first time in a while.Marlins pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki struck out on three pitches and remained two hits away from 3,000. He is in an 0-for-11 slump.The first three Marlins reached base in the ninth as Adeiny Hechavarrias RBI single cut the lead to 3-2 against closer Carlos Estevez (2-6). Prado singled with the bases loaded and Christian Yelich added a sacrifice fly.My fastball wasnt there, my command wasnt there, Estevez said. Every pitch I throw I want to have my command. Today I didnt.Brian Ellington (2-1) finished out the eighth and A.J. Ramos recorded his 32nd save in 34 chances.DJ LeMahieu had four hits for Colorado. Carlos Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 16 games and David Dahl hit safely in his 11th consecutive game in the majors.The Rockies took a 3-1 lead in the eighth. LeMahieu scored from second to tie the ggame when Nolan Arenado hit into a forceout and Gordon threw a potential double-play ball into the stands.ddddddddddddDahl lined an RBI single off Fernando Rodney and Mark Reynolds extended the lead with a double. Dahl is hitting .356 since making his debut.These losses are always frustrating, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.David Phelps, the Marlins reliable relief pitcher, threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings in his first start of the season.Jorge De La Rosa gave up four hits and one run over six strong innings. Hes had a quality start in eight of his last nine outings.Gordon stole his 10th base of the season and Giancarlo Stanton drove him home with a double to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the first inning.ICHIROS QUESTSuzuki didnt start Friday and manager Don Mattingly said there was no concrete decision on when the outfielder would be back in the lineup.No real plans, Mattingly said. I look at the matchups and I look at our guys. With the (Sunday) day game, it could be a better chance, but it really would depend on how (Marcell) Ozuna looks and how Giancarlo (Stanton) looks.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour (ankle) will not to return from the 15-day disabled until after the Marlins complete their three-game series in Colorado. ... RHP Bryan Morris (back), who is on the 60-day DL, will not return to the Marlins until September at the earliest, Mattingly said.Rockies: Gonzalez started after missing Thursday with a sprained left ankle. ... Daniel Descalso (shoulder) returned to the lineup after he went head-first into the wall Thursday.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Andrew Cashner (4-7, 4.54 ERA) held the Cardinals to two runs in six strong innings in his Marlins debut.Colorado: RHP Chad Bettis (9-6, 5.16 ERA) was 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA in July.
