[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bruce Maxwell ? And even now  itâs only been one player:  Aâs catcher Bruce Maxwell . In an interview with SI.com   Maxwellâs  mom offered this opinion on athletes deciding to take a knee:
I think you canât speak for everyone. Everyone has their own viewpoint  and everyone has their own story. Everyone has their own reason to do what theyâre doingâand all I can do is support  Bruce  for  his  reasoning. Because I know what  he  has gone through  and I know how  he  feels. I know this was a long time coming  but I think the turning point for  him  was when the president was in  his  hometown.
But why just  Maxwell ?
âWhen I was a kid  you had all these guys  athletes like Jim Brown  Muhammad Ali  and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar  following Dr. Martin Luther King. Iâll only speak for baseball  but nowadays  we  donât have an Ali.  We  donât even have the personalities of my generation and the one before me. Baseball has become so soldier-like  bow your head type stuff. In light of all that  for decades MLB players didnât stand for the flag. Youâd have guys in the locker room eating  stretching in the bullpen  sitting in the dugout  players were spread out all over the field. There was no idea of âunity.â Only the Braves and Yankees made it mandatory to stand on the top step of the dugout. That was the only time I even paid attention.

In life  there is nothing like dancing right after getting engaged. The purity and grace of the moment are inexplicable  it is truly as though life were a balloon bouncing on the smoothest zephyr. Honey; all I want is to be a balloon bouncing  bobbing  and flowing through life together. You are my everything @normancook A post shared by Karl Cook (@mrtankcook) on Nov 30  2017 at 11:07pm PST

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rafael Correa ? QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuadoreans on Sunday voted to prevent presidents from holding more than two terms in office  according to the elections council  a win for President Lenin Moreno that blocks  his mentor-turned-adversary Rafael Correa  from returning to power.
The results from the referendum  called by Moreno  roll back a measure  Correa  pushed through Congress in 2015 to allow unlimited presidential re-election.
âThe victory of the âyesâ vote opens the path for us to work together  confrontation is a thing of the past â Moreno said in a televised broadcast  an apparent reference to  Correa âs famously combative style. âThe old politicians will not return.â
Moreno may now be emboldened to remove  Correa  allies from key government posts  and financial markets will likely see the result as confirming a more politically and fiscally conservative future for the South American oil exporting country.
